Why are all the hookers using linux??? What is happening!!!!

[–] Grenfur@lemmy.one 2 points 36 minutes ago

As long as both remain free and open source I'll allow it.

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 points 48 minutes ago

Because they are wise in the ways of the world.

[–] paraphrand@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago

Why do the hookers get to decide it’s a brothel?

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 1 points 18 minutes ago

Oh, I'm sorry about the Linux thing, Russia.

[–] Flatfire@lemmy.ca 67 points 2 hours ago (3 children)

Frankly, I don't have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it's preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don't have a desire to care.

I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.

[–] pinkystew@reddthat.com 2 points 9 minutes ago

Second.

That blue screen of death post which recently said that Windows users live in fear of losing everything was a perfect example. As is this bullshit shower thought.

Hear ye, Hear ye! The local Linux preacher approaches! Hide all those whom value thou sanity!!

It's true that were total sluts aren't we?

We're never faithful to one distribution. Always hopping from one to the next until it doesn't satisfy us no more.

I prefer to think of it as an open relationship. I have my home distro, my work distro, and if either of them aren't in the mood, there is an wide variety of other distros to get the job done.

And if I'm feeling really kinky, there's always Windows.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 minutes ago

I thought you were going to say Gentoo.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 44 minutes ago (2 children)

You make Windows sound like butt stuff and BDSM

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 1 points 8 minutes ago* (last edited 8 minutes ago)

Subs aren't in the sudoers file

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 1 points 27 minutes ago

Don't windows-shame me!

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

I only use Mint. But I have 4 of them now.

[–] IHeartBadCode@fedia.io 24 points 2 hours ago

Really I'm just disappointed in the lack of blackjack here.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 44 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

They're escorts. They're only hookers when they're dead.

Escorts 🍷

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

To be fair... There are too many in a brothel...

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

I run both. everyone hates me :')

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 29 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

You run Linux in a brothel?

[–] lath@lemmy.world 27 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

He runs a brothel on Linux.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 12 points 2 hours ago

That's just Linux with extra steps

[–] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

They have great "up time".

[–] snausagesinablanket@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

I run both. everyone hates me :')

Lindows

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

You see, little @JimmyBigSausage@lemm.ee, when a man loves a woman…. Birds…. Bees…. yada yada yada…. You get a baby brother or sister.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago

if only those people had seen reddit in the really early days

[–] parpol@programming.dev 2 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

When every other topic by windows users on lemmy is "windows sucks so much. Now they did X and Y, and everything is shit" linux users are going to reply with "use Linux".

It's like hearing incels complain about never losing their virginity. The brothel is right around the corner, just get it over with.

[–] almar_quigley@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

That is so not the experience of most of us who just don’t give a fuck about what OS other people use. I love my Mac but I have no desire to talk about my OS like it’s a hobby any more than I talk about the kind of car I drive.

I had to block linuxmemes because it was so spammy. I’m about to do the same to Linuxsucks as well.

But for the record Linux users are the CrossFit/vegans of the tech world. We all know you love your OS and none of us care.

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 10 minutes ago

I feel that. I like Linux, but I also like using the right tool for the job, and sometimes that's actually Windows. The rates of Linux talk here reminds me of Reddit like 15 years ago. It's nice, but also I forgot how weird it is to be in such a Linuxy echochamber

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 2 points 44 minutes ago

my Mac

I have no desire to talk about my OS

Cause. Effect.

😀

[–] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

So where do those of us who don't think Windows is the literal worst OS ever fit into your analogy?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Probably not in the metaphorical brothel.

[–] IHawkMike@lemmy.world 1 points 32 minutes ago

I should have mentioned that I still love Linux though...

[–] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Never seen anyone complaining about Linux on here or on Reddit

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 1 points 41 minutes ago

You must not browse All much then. There's a community here called LinuxSucks which I ended up blocking because it just wasn't very funny but holy hell they were on a posting spree the other day.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

More like kinky sex slaves .... they're all either cheap or work for free.

They'll complain and give you a hard time during the whole experience but they'll never leave you alone because it's their kink and it turns them on.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Oh yes daddy, do me harder!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

This is what Arch Linux would say

.... most just lie there bored out of their mind

[–] lurch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 hours ago

Wait, what did you just call me? 😄

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Twenty bucks is twenty bucks.
