Look, I got enough for two hours with one whore, or enough for 10 minutes with a dozen different whores.

I actually don't know where I was going with that, but something a long the lines of so many different distros and only so much time in a day.

I don't care that Linux is talked about here. It's just insufferable having people commenting with this superior attitude about it making it seem like the second coming. It's just as bad as aggressive vegans and cryptobros.

Do you have a moment to talk about our lord Tux?

Why are all the hookers using linux??? What is happening!!!!

[–] TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 2 points 37 minutes ago

Let's be honest, that sounds like heaven.

[–] Grenfur@lemmy.one 5 points 1 hour ago

As long as both remain free and open source I'll allow it.

Because they are wise in the ways of the world.

Frankly, I don't have a problem with anyone who uses linux, I do too. I just get tired of the same stupid circlejerks that paint it as some kind of perfect alternative to existing mainstays. I like it, you like it, Lemmy is a deeply nerdy subsect of diehard FOSS ideologies and the power of the personal computer. But dear god is it kind of insufferable at times when it's preaching to converts, and I imagine even less pleasant for those who just don't have a desire to care.

Second.

That blue screen of death post which recently said that Windows users live in fear of losing everything was a perfect example. As is this bullshit shower thought.

[–] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 48 minutes ago

On the other hand, my only remaining Windows machine routinely bluescreens with 0xDEADDEAD, which is never supposed to happen (it's a test code, for a deliberately initiated crash).

I think the last time I got a kernel panic on a Linux machine was 2011, and it was an mp3 player that was definitely not designed to run Linux.

I will say there were times I wanted to ask certain questions, and was sure I would just be met with multiple “switch to linux” responses. I just used google to try and find answers on Reddit.

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 45 minutes ago

Microsoft makes stupid decision for Windows = There's always someone writing up paragraphs of how they switched to Linux via Mint, like they're about to convert swathes of people to do the same. Insert meme where Obama is giving himself a medal.

Hear ye, Hear ye! The local Linux preacher approaches! Hide all those whom value thou sanity!!

Why do the hookers get to decide it’s a brothel?

[–] TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee 2 points 1 hour ago

Oh, I'm sorry about the Linux thing, Russia.

[–] Slovene@feddit.nl 49 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

They're escorts. They're only hookers when they're dead.

[–] linearchaos@lemmy.world 1 points 38 minutes ago

It gives a whole new meaning to my buddy's Ford escort.

Really I'm just disappointed in the lack of blackjack here.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

It's true that were total sluts aren't we?

We're never faithful to one distribution. Always hopping from one to the next until it doesn't satisfy us no more.

I prefer to think of it as an open relationship. I have my home distro, my work distro, and if either of them aren't in the mood, there is an wide variety of other distros to get the job done.

And if I'm feeling really kinky, there's always Windows.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

You make Windows sound like butt stuff and BDSM

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Subs aren't in the sudoers file

[–] CameronDev@programming.dev 1 points 1 hour ago

Don't windows-shame me!

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

I thought you were going to say Gentoo.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

I only use Mint. But I have 4 of them now.

[–] ohellidk@sh.itjust.works 18 points 4 hours ago (5 children)

I run both. everyone hates me :')

[–] Im_old@lemmy.world 30 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

You run Linux in a brothel?

[–] lath@lemmy.world 28 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

He runs a brothel on Linux.

[–] foggy@lemmy.world 13 points 3 hours ago

That's just Linux with extra steps

[–] KazuyaDarklight@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

They have great "up time".
