Absolute loony…
I mean, I steal shit off Soulseek and I got a speeding ticket once.
Lets not give this dork any playtime, eh? He gets off on the attention.
MT is going to continue anyway. Might as well show newbies what a crazy loser they are, so at least the posts all get downvoted into oblivion as they post them
Don’t feed the trolls
Good point. But also: sometimes show people what trolls look like, so they know what not to feed.
That’s the attention he gets off on. It’s not like he’s coming off as sane and tricking people into agreeing with him. He’s coming off like someone preaching on a street corner who isn’t even facing the right direction.
Just ignore him. If you can’t do that, condescend to him. But yeah he’s getting off on the attention, so don’t feed the troll
The difference is, the street corner people DO get attention, and later get noticed on places like facebook and such, and people can hear them (they just need to play victim)… if a tree falls in a forest and nobody sees it, does it matter?
If their posts stay negative, they’ll probably just leave, because even people subscribed won’t see them
They’re a troll - and fundemental to being a troll is taking positive reinforcement from negative reactions. Thats more or less their whole thing. This guy keeps doing it because posts like these keep demonstrating that he is getting attention paid to him - as do things like his posts getting copious downvotes. Ignoring trolls really is the best way to handle them.
I love the shirt. :'D
Would a criminal not simply pirate a paid operating system?
One of the big sticking points stopping me from to switching to Linux is that I don’t get to do the incredibly cool crime of stealing from Bill Gates. I considered switching to RHEL, but stealing from IBM isn’t quite as cool.
Pfft, look at this guy, who wants to buy only genuine IBM PCs and not PC-clones! I bet he pays for his usenet subscription, and sends his extra AOL free trial CDs back so they can be distributed to users who need it.
:P
You steal the data BG could’ve gathered if you used his OS
And marketshare
And (eventually) attention from developersBruh IBM is the primordial evil. They were evil long before the lesser demons came to rule
Presumably the reason criminals would want to use Linux is that privacy focused distros exist that would make them harder to identify, as well as Linux just generally not broadcasting telemetry to corps that can give it to authorities at the drop of a hat.
I can pirate other things! Don’t tell me what to steal
Maybe a dumb one.
I crimethink all the time
I crimethink, therefore I amthink.
Those who do not crimethink are not
Crime do or do not crime do, there is no think.
I crimethink, therefore I crimeam
I crimethink, therecrime I crimeam
Dude tried to argue with me that ECC memory is why windows is better.
Yes, he’s that stupid.
He kept trying to argue that anything open source is “commie garbarge.”
You can see me completely destroy all of his arguments and he runs away like the MAGA bitch he is. Pathetic.
Pretty sure I responded to the same post.
He started saying Linux needed ecc for a while, windows didn’t, which is absolutely ridiculous given that a lot of Mac’s needed ecc, and windows server explicitly recommends ecc.
My Linux Android phone doesn’t use ecc either, or people’s Samsung tv
He said that on Lemmy, an open source platform, hosted mostly (I assume) on Linux servers? Brilliant
Yup, and I asked him at least 5 times if he believes that why is he not only on Lemmy, but moderates his own community on what he calls “commie garbage.”
He ran away every single time.
He didn’t ban you?
He should grow a pair, fork his own Lemmy server, closed the source, and run it on a windows server.
I’ve interacted with MadThumbz before, I was still on Reddit when they got banned for admin abuse. I’m pretty sure they’re a troll, but I’ve blocked them regardless
My Linux user is not a criminal, they maybe conspiracy theorist, liar, commie, cheater, criminal but they are not a pornstar.
Edit: forgot conspiracy theorist
Oh… But they CAN be.
I recall at one of the conferences (or during), maybe 20 years, someone was apparently selling a porn video training people how to use nmap.
This is why you only learn like one or two command options, then you turned off the video.
Maybe I’m being oblivious, but just FYI, this was a Simpsons reference.
Kriminal
Klitoris
Doing the gayest of crimes on Linux
Unisox united!
Not gay-crimes! Those are the worst ones!
OOP after shooting L1T Wendell: “What? It was obvious! He’s the red commie. Watch, he’ll turn red any second now! …Aaaaaaany second now. See, red! No-wait, that’s blood.”
If Linux users were commonly cheaters, you’d think games’ anti-cheats would work on Linux.
Nah we’re just two timing on our partners
Partners?
I might be a commie, a criminal, and a pornstar, but I am NOT a cheater.
Can confirm on the porn.
I feel like this is probably a disinformation bot. Why would a human being have such strong feelings about an OS that allows people to circumvent corporate control/surveillance on their PC?
Yeah, it’s either that or someone who has decided their special interest is hating linux. If it’s the user that I think it is, when I looked at their history earlier, pretty much every post of theirs is over the top anti-linux.
Though I am glad to see that most of the accounts I suspect of astroturfing are generally downvoted to the negatives here. Though I do wonder if this place will end up being a training ground for propaganda that works on the segments of the population that are highly represented here that don’t seem as susceptible to the shit that would get eaten up on FB or gain some traction on reddit. Actually, windows love probably does well on reddit since it’s made up of people who haven’t gotten tired enough of the enshitification to leave and are probably doing the same with windows.
That… might even be why they enshitified it so much for no apparent benefit at the cost of many users that contributed positively. Those contributions might not have been seen as so positive if they responded to marketing bullshit negatively.
Nice conspiracy theory! The propaganda bot must be telling the truth!!

LOL This person is a bit unhinged, and cannot recognize that Linux distros are viable for just about everyone who wants to manage their computer. And not have a big corporation interfere with what they can and cannot do with their computer. Cheaters, criminals, and all sorts use a variety of OS.
I just happen to be a geek that enjoys Linux, specifically, Garuda Linux. A great distro.
Does Garuda Linux play “Sandstorm” every time you boot it?
Edit: no wait, crap, it’s Darude isn’t it.
It doesn’t matter who it was. I know the song you meant, and now it is stuck in my head all day.
Thankfully it’s a fairly enjoyable riff to spontaneously interrupt me any time I leave my brain free for a few seconds :)
And I corrected it to Gerudo and started playing Gerudo Valley in my head.
Though if I just repeat the first phrase n times before continuing with the rest, I can make it more like a Gerudo Valley Sandstorm.
On my side, I believe people can use whatever they want (even TempleOS). I use Fedora, but Windows in a VM for work. I used to sell Apple gear (and, Apple hardware is the ONLY hardware I’ve ever come across with really weird hardware design issues, like wireless mice that can’t be plugged in and use).
The irony is though, almost everyone uses Linux every day somehow (whether its embedded in some of their devices, like their router, or they use Android).
Also, this Lemmy instance probably runs on Linux…
Yeah, I do think that people can and should use whatever. As long as they are fine with the shortcomings of said OS, and it still works well with their workflow. I am starting to just give a shit about what I am using and only protesting the worst garbage big corpos are pulling (I pay attention to what is happening on other OS). Yeah, Linux is everywhere, as it can be made to be small and useful. So while one might use a MacOS or Windows device, they rely on Linux to connect to the web. I like Android because of the Linux Kernel underneath it all, but, I really would like to get a phone that is open source…Heh. One day, perhaps. As I use a Samsung at the moment.
I have a light pilot licence… The crap I’ve flown, probably only has an OS for the GPS/radio stack (Garmin).
Technically, not even sure they even have proper ECU’s…
