Yeah because I'm angry at Windows for some of the dumbest shit it's done for a while now.

And I'm still angry whenever I'm on Linux because it's progress is taking too long for it to be embraced more comfortably when it comes to compatibility. I'd like for more things and development to work with even the most known Linux OSes. Just pick 5 of the best Linux OSes out there and develop for them. It worked for Ubuntu for awhile until that randomly got dropped by some manufacturers.

Until then I'm just angry to be on Linux because I know I can't 100% run everything I want to on it as I did Windows.

ok now listen 😂 the path to maximum joy is twofold:

  1. make sure you're very happy
  2. make sure to be informed about others unhappiness and ridicule it this is another offset that must be maximized

Am I the only one that doesn't mind? It's an OS and we all have free will. I have both and enjoy using both OS. Maybe because I'm 38?

[-] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 2 points 6 months ago

I'd debate the free will part.

[-] Elocomanzo@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

What's your angle? Let's argue.

[-] dogsoahC@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Well, first of all, determinism precludes any notion of free will. Second, even if we allow random chance, free will is still an incoherent idea. Behavior is either caused by certain factors, in which case it is deterministic, or it is at least in part random, in which case it is just that - random. There's just no conceptual mechanism - that I am aware of - that allows for free will to be anything more than an illusion.

I complained that Microsoft was doing that and this and made it difficult for me to change x.

Then in Linux I changed x and broke my system and complained about how I fucked up.

So well one has advantages over the other in some aspects and in others the other one is better.

I personally don't like windows because of the ads, weird settings, and the spying software. My whole experience is not that great on windows. And I love tinkering in Linux.

So what's the statement here? As long as it doesn't affect you, you shouldn't care about how it affects others? That's kind of a shitty way of thinking.

In a sense I wouldn't berate coworkers and family for smoking and drinking stating facts about the detriment to their health every chance I get. I'd lend a hand when they need me the most, when they've looked in the mirror long enough, when they are looking for change.

It's a fact I've come to realize some people don't want to change others have a limit they reach before they can change. If your always there to help when they need it, the outcome will almost always be better.

I don't like being told what's best for me or what I should be doing as much as the next guy so I don't really bring it up unless they ask.

I don't think that's the statement. I think it's that they were hoping that they could ignore it but weren't about to.
