Why do you think they do? Logically think it through.

Market sharen and incumbent advantage. Ease of adoption (or appearance of). Ubiquity and lack of need to retain. Predatory behaviour by MS. Different priorities for users.

Unless you actually consider the real reasons why Windows is so widespread you’ll never make a dent in it.

What happened with Unity in the end? Did they back down?

Great points. Here is the original post:

I will delete this post and replace it with one about the dog whistle.

What the fuck! I thought it was just a cute post about small talk being mostly about boring patterns like the weather and recent sports results.

I didn’t miss anything

it’s borderline but I think this is allowed

Eating gizzard sounds offal to me

What? Explain yuself

To be fair, you are repeatedly quite inflammatory and borderline trolling, which is not the culture of this community at all, so I can understand why there is such a reaction. So, although like I said, this doesn’t technically break any rules, it’s clear that not many people like it.

On the Lemmy app I’m using that doesn’t display correctly.

And then also just in a browser, it’s not the same as an image link.

Thank you again for the suggestion, but this community will remain images only, and you can put a link in the description. That is the only way to ensure everyone gets a consistent experience regardless of how they access Lemmy.

This post has had a number of reports. It technically doesn’t break any rules, and it’s also on -74 votes, so I’m not going to remove it.

Thank you for the suggestion but I’m afraid it’s screenshots only. The content on this community needs to be visible without leaving it. I would encourage users to add a link to the toot in the description however - I’ll add this to the rules now.

Mastodon is the federated alternative to twitter.

Only nine! Those are rookie numbers.

Should have expected this

They’re doing what??

Going back to /r/all on reddit now just pure trash. It’s unbelievable how badly it’s declined, very recently.

He is very good at the following things:

• being born rich
• investing in a slam dunk future technology everyone on the planet knows we will need, eg money on the internet, electric cars, space ships
• taking risks in combining the above

That is about as far as his skillset runs. As we’ve seen from twitter, when he doesn’t have an entire layer of his organisation set up to run interference in him, he quickly runs companies into the ground. He has had zero original ideas.

He’s also a dangerous alt-right racist nutjob.

That is contrived even by twosentencehorror standards.
