Linux users when faced with the reality that all their shit is incompatible with reality.
It's not actually incompatible it seems to work fine, and it should work fine on every browser -it's not that difficult, that's why we have standards. What my post highlights is that they had the nerve to tell me to upgrade.
Hate Linux and it's users all you want, but know this your objection is entirely irrational. A smart person keeps an open mind and assesses all of their options based on their own criteria and makes a rational decision. An idiot makes a decision and then finds reasons to support it.
"Fuck, my life sucks, what can I do to cheer myself up?"
"I know, I'll go into a forum full of Linux users and tell them their OS sucks. I feel productive now. Next I'll find some Pokemon and Startrek fans and troll them too."
Is that about it? Did I get it right?
Lord knows Linux users never wander into windows threads and be smug.
Reality runs on Linux.
Would you like to opt in to personalized advertising, including webcam access, location data, banking information, and your personal photos?
Don't forget religion and sexual orientation (I'm looking at you Nisan)
-I'm referencing Luis rossmans video on cars btw
I mean it's what serves the back end of all these services in the first place.
If Linux suddenly ceased to exist the internet and most devices we use and even rely on including android phones would become totally useless.
I don't think you can say that something so key to our technological infrastructure is incompatible with reality.
There is simply those of us who for whatever reason (commonly privacy and a level of control no other operating system outside maybe the BSDs offers) choose to use it for our personal desktop computing needs as well.

shit doesn't work on linux Because the developers couldn't bother to make a linux version. Because "not enough people use it". And people don't use linux mainly because shit doesn't work on it.
