They don’t have a chance with people like you sowing division with no impunity. You’re free to label large swathes of people for being a fascist despite there being no proof of them being one, but that puts you on the same level as the MAGAs that only how know to blame everyone else and label them the enemy. I’m sure you’re fine with that, because you have your precious moral superiority to cling to while you make the situation worse for everyone around you. Fucking disgusting.

That’s because you can only think in black and white terms that you can’t tell that it’s not just ‘leftist’ that would be motivated to vote if the DNC had catered to more progressive policies, but a lot of people on the centre that had also been disillusioned by the political system. We’ve seen many times that progressive stances gets a lot of support from people of all political spectrum, yet the only thing the DNC can think to do is try to appeal to the right side of the spectrum that would still only vote for a Republican? So ridiculous.

In the meantime, you can continue putting your head in the sand and enjoy watching Harris get less support than Hillary because the ‘leftist’ are not worth listening to. I’m sure you think if she had slid even more to the right, she would’ve gotten more support, right?

I am not excusing these people, but I recognize that attitudes like yours that equates them with fascists will not get you the change needed to fight actual fascists. I am calling you out for damaging the chances of the US to fight a complete fall to fascism with your destructive attitude and defeatist mindset.

Your attitude’s part of the reason the DNC can’t get people to vote, so it’s lucky you weren’t American, because you would have pushed even more people against going to vote. I guess you are already doing enough harm on the Internet, so congrats. We’ll see what damage you can do to your own country’s voting demographic, next.

You deserve what is coming, as well, from everything I see you write.

Enjoy the unfettered fascism, then, since you refuse to even find allies to fight against it.

Not yet, it’s not completely fascist yet, but with the way you’re acting, there’s not going to be any significant resistance towards the US becoming a completely fascist country since you’re more interested in blaming each other instead of learning from your mistakes and work together to be better. What a defeatist mindset you have.

The DNC saw who their rival is and decided to move in that direction instead of catering to the millions that are not voting because of their lacklustre policies. Good job the DNC as well, then.

What about the ones who are voting but doesn’t use their voice to pressure the DNC to adopt more progressive policies, but instead prefer to alienate the left even more by attacking them the whole way up to the election. I’m sure they’re happy with their decision, as well.

Then, you’ll deal with this over and over until America becomes a completely fascist nation. That’ll teach those third party and non-voters. At least you’ll have your moral high ground, right?

What about pong?

Because our brains are amazing and can just fill out the missing word while reading. It sometimes makes us miss obvious errors like that.

I think those places need more support systems to reduce the number of people that becomes desperate enough to do that.

Who’s coping here when you’re the one completely dismissing my own experience with using Linux. That’s not a good look for someone supposedly giving ‘good’ advice.

That experience I had was from earlier this year, btw, so don’t tell me that whatever I want will work out of the box. This is why I hate whenever people say “just switch to Linux” without taking any responsibility. You don’t know what hardware people have and going to install Linux on.

You also claimed Linux is good for people with no money to buy new hardware, yet barely care to even make sure the people you tell this to doesn’t have hardware that might not be supported. What are they gonna do after your advice made the only hardware they have no longer connect to wifi or ethernet? I doubt you’d go out of your way to help them, then.

As for simplicity, I don’t see how W11 is any more complicated that Ubuntu. More resource heavy, yes, but that doesn’t affect the user experience much. Give me concrete examples on how they’re easier to use.

That’s hilarious. Just because you have experience with Linux doesn’t make it easier to use, either. And 90% of people in the workplace has experience with Windows and Windows only, so that means the majority of people already can use Windows easier even if both OSes are equally easy to use.

Considering all my experience with using Linux has been painful, I don’t believe you when you say Linux is easier. I can Google any issue to do with Windows and find the solution without delving too deeply. You know what happened the last time I tried to find the driver for the wifi card in my laptop for Linux? I had to find an obscure website that lists third party drivers for Linux only to find that it doesn’t exist for my specific card. The card that works flawlessly in Windows.

Imagine not having that knowledge before jumping all in on installing Linux. Most of the people in my office would’ve already sworn off Linux forever the moment they encounter such setback, especially if they were being lied to about the level of difficulty they would face.

Which distros to choose, what are their pros and cons, which distros works best with whatever hardware they have? What about which of their existing hardware doesn’t work on Linux? Which of the software they use everyday and probably have spent money on the licenses doesn’t work on Linux at all and which can kinda work using WINE?

These are all questions that are not easily answered by people that lack the prior knowledge of Linux. Just saying “use Linux” is not simply useless advice if you don’t know their use case or the hardware they use, it’s practically harming the first time experience of non-tech savvy people with Linux.

What are you referring to here?

No, it’s useless advice for people who don’t already have knowledge about Linux.

Trust me, if you’re used to the AutoCAD workflow and UI, BricsCAD is just different enough that it can be a bit jarring and a huge drop to your productivity.

So in your two hypothetical situation, what benefit does punishing you provide to any of the victims?

The only way I could think of is the ease of setting up a collaborative spreadsheet.
