Self-deprivation: “am I a joke to you?”

Not to be that person, but…

Don’t worry, it happens to the best of us.

Humour aside, I actually found it very interesting to read, despite not quite understanding it fully. I might give it a more thorough read later.

I use Arch btw :3

That’s the thing, though. Fandom is a corporation. It has one goal: profit. These other organisations aren’t profit-driven, so they won’t do that unless they really have to for some reasom.

“oh no, leopards ate my face!”

Honestly, I don’t think it will. It seems to be backed by the likes of Terraria and Ark. Should be perfectly fine for quite a while.

Same for Weird Gloop and Miraheze as well.

What the heck‽ Is it gold-plated‽

That is concerning amount of query parameters.

I long to join them by moving to Canada.

He needn’t’ve used the word “disgusting”, did he?

Good thing I already crashed mine! /s

I wish I could…

I whole-heartedly agree.

He’s not wrong, though.

Wait, what‽ A propaganda company made propaganda‽

(obligatory /s)

Uhm… no it’s not?

Free/libre software, wiki projects, and forum pages are created by the community for the benefit of all.

So-called “AI” (LLMs, image models, etc.) companies consolidate all of the above, and then turn around and (try to) sell it back to the community.

Oh, so like Fandom.

Indie wikis forever!

Firstly, I actually don’t interact much with the Linux community itself. I’ve helped convince some of my online friends to switch, and I’m always available for tech support (unless I’m at work), and I’ve never RTFM’d anyone, nor do I act superior for using Linux (I am not holier than them, I merely want to save them from eternal damnation).

While I agree that Linux isn’t perfect (the fact that there’s AI code in the kernel makes my heart burn with fiery hatred), I think it’s a lot better than Windows (11; 10 was actually pretty decent). As for ease of use, that heavily depends on both the use case and the distro.

If you’re an author who only needs to write and use a browser, you can quite easily handle Ubuntu or Debian. If you’re a gamer, things can get more complicated, but Valve’s Proton has made Linux gaming so much more “it just works”.

So basically… yeah, I think Linux is better than Windows, and I’m happy to help people make the switch. When someone asks about Linux, or needs help, I get excited; I’m always happy to teach and share.

“yeah well i asked my owner and she said not to worry about it :3”

Woke games like Wolfenstein :3
