        Sure, but damaging the sentiment of the position that he is arguing for makes him stupider than simply being wrong.

          “stupider than simply wrong”

          What are you? 5?

          My sentiment is that it’s a crazy situation where people are defending a multi billion dollar company that we all coninously pay, who spies and serves ads despite said payments, that time after time willfully neglects security, anything in the name of profits, over a free system that works better, more reliably, is open, and dependable.

          Your response: you’re stupid

            Yeah, if the only thing you can do to support your sentiment is to make it look unappealing to the majority of normal users, you would be pretty stupid. Or maybe you’re actually 5 and that was just a projection on your part, I wouldn’t know.

              Yes, it’s really unappealing to say that windows is the shit that it is, makes Linux look so bad

                It does when you say it, which is why it’s stupid. Saying something so simple, yet you can’t even do it without giving Linux a bad look. Talk about incompetent.

      They wouldn’t if they were consistent and had also left degenerate social media (which Lemmy is part of, despite being much better than corporate alternatives). But then they also wouldn’t because we wouldn’t read it here.

          Production of computer hardware being centralized, the accepted amount of complexity and obscurity in that and customer software.

          A desktop system should involve a lot of standardized coprocessors at least. Like in Amiga architecture.

          It’s a bit sad that with RISC-V the seemingly accepted direction of development for desktops is replacing Intel\AMD with the same paradigm.

          EDIT: I mean, a person asking this and apparently thinking that the word can only be used in fascist context, can be called degenerate in their education too =)

            Woah buddy slow down there you’re gonna cut yourself on that edit. I fully agree, I’m just not ignorant of how the connotations of words evolves over time, otherwise I’d say your language development seems removed to me :)
