If I had a friend who kept the company of fascists, I’d probably drop them real quick
Not a good way to make them see reason. I know it’s hypothetical but if you’re friends shouldn’t you put in some effort to help instead of just drop them?

if you were spoon-fed a certain religion as a child
And if you weren’t? Probably hard to believe for most Americans but atheism isn’t an invention of the current generations.
Funny, communists always insist China isn’t communist at all, so why would they care about it being criticized?
Oh, many more were upset - just too lazy to inconvenience themselves with switching platforms.

If that’s true it should really be stickied by am admin. That’s crucial info.

I’ve never cared about PVP in any Diablo and wasn’t aware it’s needed for progress. So thanks a lot for this hint - just finished the 10k at 9 am without a single soul in the area.

Don’t kill hornets. They don’t bother humans and eat wasps.
Are we being overly anal about semantics here?
Usually not but your whole activity in this thread reads like you’re just hating on Linux for some reason: “too diverse!” “it destroyed my ssd!” (which I doubt). In that context your claim to have been a user just looks like a half-truth to give yourself some credibility.
Anyway, back to the actual topic: I don’t care about mass-adoption. Everything turns to shit when the masses pour over it. In my opinion, Lemmy has reached the critical amount of contributors to get it going, except more actual scientists maybe.
People know the unix system under the very successful product that is MacOS.
What? Only techies know that, 99% users don’t and wouldn’t care.
I used to use Ubuntu, and before that kde btw.
I’m starting to doubt you actually did since KDE isn’t a distro.
I won’t nitpick how Linux is a kernel not an OS but how is it not widespread? It just runs basically the whole internet…
The reasons the average Joe doesn’t use it for their desktop are convenience (Windows and macOS come pre-installed) and that you can run into technical issues due to bad support by hardware vendors. The latter is a chicken/egg problem and will possibly never be resolved.
Anyway, I disagree it’s due to the number of choices - we don’t need monopolies. Your grocery store is full of different brands of cheese and all of them still stay in business.
learning programming is BORING
Then it’s not for you. No shame in that. I don’t understand the notion that everyone is supposed to be a coder now.
If anything, the low-level coding part is something AI models may well make obsolete relatively soon. Unlike any craftsmanship - why not learn masonry or carpentry instead?
