  • But it's okay because this is from Mozilla :)

  • Quoting the conversation you replied to:

    Again, install Linux already and be done with this shit.

    When Linux gets around to supporting all the games I like I will

    Yes, the wording of "when Linux gets around to supporting" was bad and can be interpreted as "Linux needs to do the work". We who are familiar with Linux know that game support depends on the game's developer, not on any certain OS or plarform. You need to keep in mind that not everyone is as proficient with operating systems as we are, and thus not everybody might be aware who is at fault for lack of support.

    You belittled the person in your comment, first assuming that they "suffer" on Windows, and then telling them to fix it themselves. You can't have meant that genuinely; after recognizing that they misunderstood the support situation, it should have been obvious to you that they're not capable of fixing the support themselves. So it must have been a snarky remark of yours and little more.

    Instead of being this condescending, your comment should have been educational, explaining whose fault the lack of support actually is. Not even necessarily for the person you replied to, but for the sake of everyone else who finds this thread at a later point in time.

    Even if you don't need Linux to win, I ask you that you consider how your comments reflect on the Linux community at large. What will people think when they see how you reply to people voicing their concerns?

    Would you be happy being part of a community that although representing a genuine effort towards freedom from big tech, is perceived as elitist and insular by outsiders? I use Linux too, and I wouldn't be.

  • We're on Lemmy, where proprietary software is poison and companies are literally Hitler.

  • I'd much rather gloat about how I don't have to deal with crap like this.

    Alright, go ahead and do that. Surely that'll help the mainstream perception of Linux and its community.

  • Is this how you advocate for Linux?

  • That's always so easy to say, isn't it?

  • That's your subjective opinion

  • How many non-techie people do you know that read press releases of apps?

  • Unironically, yes it is.

  • Not quite.

    A project's repo would still be in one centralized location, like gitlab.com. But you'd no longer need an account on gitlab.com to make a pull request.

  • Why would we need them to switch? Shouldn't we just leave them be if they're happy that way?

  • That's true, they don't. But they're at least open enough to allow community efforts on Linux like Heroic.

  • This is why I primarily shop at GOG. There are almost no other storefronts left that promote DRM-free games.

  • Kagi has started using search results from Brave's search index. The LGBT community disapproved of this because of past homophobic actions by Brave's CEO Brendan Eich.

  • I don't think so. Wiby limits its index to specific kinds of websites by design.

    I imagine it's great for entertainment purposes, but not for the things you'd usually use a search engine for (gathering information, troubleshooting issues, etc.)

  • Are we expecting normal people to learn how to self-host?

  • What will be replacing it? Bing?

  • "Bad" rich people are dismissed because Lemmy users expect this behavior of them. What they don't expect or believe in is someone genuinely using their wealth for good.
