    there’s 2 kinds of people on fedi:

    40 year olds who remember the good ol days of the interwebs

    16 year old queer shitposters who got tired of getting called every slur imaginable on other networks

    both are into linux

          Isn’t that something else? No matter where you are on the planet, if you know technology, you despise Windows.

              Oo-ooh I use Linux just for kicks, now
              I’ve been using it since 1996, now
              Might be larger now, but I use it still

        Luckily it is typically too small to be much of a bot target. I don’t subscribe to world news subs though, dark places.

          It’s usually only the news subs. But if you make claims that counter Kremlin propaganda you can sometimes summon them.

          Like if I just say Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine, it won’t (why? Beats me). But if I say they are killing ethnic Russian Ukrainian citizens as well as Ukrainian men, women, and children, then we have a good chance.

          I got others if it doesn’t work.

          Edit: (WITNESS ME! Lol) Edit 2: Now I’m impressed. I knew I could do it, I didn’t expect it to work quite so well. I’ll check back in a few hours.

      Queer less than 25 here, I came here not because I was getting called slurs but because I’m tired of companies and of AI, I’m also on Linux :3

      I have to use Windows at work now, which is ass.

      Anyway, I had a question about how to achieve something in Powershell the other day, so I asked it on Mastodon. Got basically nothing in response.

      Every time I ask how to do something in Linux I get swamped with responses.

      Make of that what you will.
