  • It’s not impossible though. It’s like every country opened their eyes and said fuck it because Trump makes no exception in hating everyone.

    I only know the USA from movies and TV, and the USA always got a free pass because they ruled the world, they are number 1, they have the best quality of life, and a lot of other lies that we kept telling ourselves because they were the good big brother that was, until recently, relatively “smart.”

    But Trump pissed every country on earth at the same time, and it’s like we realized we were wrong since the 80s about everything that happened in and out of the USA.

    It’s good for me because we will be more self reliant without this erratic big brother. It’s very bad because Russia won’t be affected, Americans will be poorer, and China seems now to be the most “reliable” super power that can still make and sell everything. But countries getting back some of their Independence is always a nice thing. Millions will suffer though.














  • The average user is pretty unaffected

    The average user complains about Windows all the time around me and I have to fix their crap constantly. It is fucking over their daily life, either by preventing them from working or by swallowing their files into a black hole. Windows users at work don’t care about it, but around me when it’s their personal computer, it’s a disaster.

    switching would require not only learning one new thing, but a large number of new things

    Any Ubuntu from 10 years ago is identical to the latest Windows. It’s laziness, fear, or being hostage, but it’s certainly not learning something new. Also, Windows 11 is completely different from the previous versions and it didn’t seem to bother them.


  • People say Stockholm syndrome is fake, but when I see Windows users, I know it’s real. They have been suffering for years and never thought once about alternatives like Ubuntu.

    “Oh Linux is too complicated, I can’t do that.” Yeah, you can’t click on Firefox to open Firefox, or LibreOffice to write a document. That’s too hard.

    To rant a bit, the last time I helped my parents, I removed every icon from their desktop and installed Firefox with uBlock Origin. Only Firefox on the desktop, it was idiot proof. When I came back, Firefox had disappeared and on the desktop I saw: Edge, 2 copies of Chrome with the most scummy plugins ever, and one Chrome fork that came from an adware that they purposefully installed (WTF). I told them that they had a virus, and that from now on I wouldn’t help them anymore. They like to suffer, I let them.
