    I think the real thing we need to do to attract windows users is have tuxkart installed by default.

    [–] 30p87@feddit.org 58 points 6 days ago

    Tuxkart about to be a dependency for base

    Christ a bit of paranoia would do modern internet users good, I still remember when it wasn't normal to have every single piece of identifying information online and readily available for anyone.

    I can, I just prefer windows

    The only Unix system I ever willingly install is android, even though it's harder to install than Linux

    [–] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 4 points 5 days ago

    Android is Linux, simply not the traditional userspace :)

    Linux Distros have a huge variety. What have you tried?

    Mac owners have money? more like had money

    [–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 14 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

    The key is to have that infinite money glitch, aka be born rich and have parents that stay rich

    Shoutout to the 3DS custom theme shop for having a Tuxkart theme

    In all fairness paranoia is important in things like finding someone trying to slip a backdoor into xz. Going by the most recent Windows 11 update, Microsoft seems to be "we'll fix it in production".

    [–] lemmyng@lemmy.ca 17 points 6 days ago (2 children)

    Well it wasn't so much paranoia as obsession. The person who found it wasn't paranoid, they just went "Why is my connection taking a quarter of a second longer than it used to? This is unacceptable!!!"

    [–] fartsparkles@sh.itjust.works 11 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Technically they thought they might have introduced a bug that caused the delay / a regression and set about investigating it. Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

    [–] Evkob@lemmy.ca 8 points 6 days ago

    Pretty sure it was a Microsoft developer too.

    Indeed it was, a PostgreSQL dev by the name of Andres Freund.

    [–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    from the linux sucks community?

    [–] somebodysomewhere@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    nah it was here just deep in the negative https://lemmy.world/post/20843892

    [–] waz@feddit.uk 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    From the main protagonist from Linux sucks, because I downvoted it and everything in that community and that idiot’s post history. Lol

    [–] somebodysomewhere@lemmy.world 5 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Just had a look. Weird choice of hill to die on

    [–] waz@feddit.uk 6 points 6 days ago

    Everyone needs a hobby, but definitely not a hill.

    [–] kbal@fedia.io 10 points 6 days ago

    Windows users have regrets

    Mac users have stockholm syndrome

    Linux users have a computer

    Haven't tried Kart (and MarioKart too). How fun is that for a couple?

    [–] madthumbs@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago (4 children)

    There are much better kart games out there like Sonic All-Stars Racing Transformed, or Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. Tuxkart does have a lot of user created tracks and you can make your own, so there is somewhat a draw for that.

    [–] grubbyweasel@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago (1 children)

    Don’t forget ~~bloodborne~~ nightmare kart

    Tuxkart is really great! One of the really good FOSS games, it has multiplayer and it even supports the wiimote :)
