Harvey Birdman: Mr. Boo Boo, would you consider yourself a revolutionary?

Boo Boo: Well, no. But I believe corporations rob us of our dignity and independence, and that these systems must be ripped down, or levelled by any force necessary... But that's just one little bear's opinion.

Harvey Birdman: A cute, fuzzy little bear. (smiles at jury) The defense rests

Wow, imagine where we'd be if Oil and Gas hadn't convinced almost everyone that solar was never going to work well.

As another poster said, we used words like pr0n, and one that I personally have never used either of that replaces the "er" ending of a word with "a."

Hell, half of the time we used l33tsp33k was to avoid using specific words.

This is not a new thing.

Absolutely 100% run (don't walk!) and get The Left Hand of Darkness. It is easily one of the best sci-fi/fantasy books I have ever read.

Unfortunately, they would rather that the image of Win11 is this really secure OS

(This is in no way an indictment of what you've said here, it is entirely directed at MS.) If that's their objective, they've done an absolutely horrific job of making that clear. I guess part of that is they claim everything they do is for security, so no-one believes them.

Not to mention, I'm pretty sure the vast, vast, vast majority of Windows users aren't concerned that if their PC gets stolen people can get into it. They're much more concerned with the lost PC itself.

Either way, they look, frankly, incompetent. The OS is maligned by users, and they've stuffed so many embarrassing things like ads in the search bar or whatever, that any illusion of its benefits are lost behind a wall of garbage.

I’d love to be eating my words here, but I think Microsoft would rather pull all the marketing tricks out the book to force everyone into Win11.

What confuses me is their weird TPM and whatever else requirements. I have a decent system, but it doesn't support Windows 11 (thank the gods), so what is their plan for people like me exactly? Like I'm going to replace my motherboard and CPU just to use windows 11? This feels like multiple parts of Microsoft fighting each other.

Another major issue I had was the community itself. When troubleshooting the issues I’ve had over the years, one big problem that kept popping back up was how toxic and condescending the Linux community can be. On more than a few occasions my requests for help on forums were met with passive aggressiveness and hostility because I “should have known better” or something along those lines. The most recent example I can think of was someone asking me to post a debug log to troubleshoot an issue I had and I had to ask him where to find the log. He told me the folder it would be in but not the folder path to get there. When I asked again where to find the log, he just told me that “maybe Linux isn’t for you”.

I had almost exactly this same issue years ago when I tried Mint. I was trying to get something to work (I think install games on Steam? Something like that) and it would just do nothing, no message, etc. When I asked for help, I was told "This is super obvious" and after trying their suggestions and having them all fail, was told "just go back to windows."

Ok, done?

(It also doesn't help that there is a huge difference between 'you can use the terminal' and 'you have to use the terminal.' I'm an 80's kid, I grew up with DOS, so I understand how to navigate terminals, I just don't want to constantly.)

Last I checked, yes here it is:

As an ideology, black nationalism encompasses a diverse range of beliefs which have variously included forms of economic, political and cultural nationalism, or pan-nationalism.[9][7] It often overlaps with, but is distinguished from, similar concepts and movements such as Pan-Africanism, Ethiopianism, the back-to-Africa movement, Afrocentrism, Black Zionism, and Garveyism.[5] Critics of black nationalism say it promotes racial and ethnic nationalism, separatism and black supremacy, and they compare it to white nationalism and white supremacy. However, the Southern Poverty Law Center says that black nationalist groups exist in a "categorically different" environment than white nationalists in the United States.

I'm white, my dad (also white) played blues guitar, and I've never run into anything remotely like what you're describing.

And if it turns out that the SPLC was totally wrong, and 'Black Nationalism' takes over and commits genocide on white people, that's definitely something we'll be worried about.

Yeah Nazis are a problem in pretty much all subcultures

I don't know if I agree with that; well, I agree they're always a problem, but if you're a Jazz or Blues fan for example, I imagine there aren't the same issues we have in Metal.
