  • Every moment of our lives is filled with stimulation.

    Every moment we aren’t forced to focus we disassociate to recover from the constant never ending focus.

    We are Great Apes, huge fucking mammals, how do other huge apes spend their time? Literally napping and eating for most of the day. If you forced a fucking gorilla to work a 9-5 they would get zoochosis and all their hair would fall out and they would get depressed and die.

    Our bodies and minds aren’t evolved enough to handle this rapidly complicating society, it’s stressing us out to the point where we lash out at each other and burn out.

    Our society is to blame for all of the malbehavors.


  • Tech nerds have a really hard time understanding technophobia.

    Yes everyone can use Linux if they just jump through the right hoops.

    The average person does not ever want to jump through a single hoop EVER when it comes to learning a new tech.

    Either it works or it isn’t worth the time/hassle to learn an entire world of information that is required to use different computers to the extent that linux nerds do.









  • Forcing people to type in a command line unironically alienates your userbase, the average user logs in and then opens Netflix/youtube/social media. If it can’t be done with mouse and keyboard then it can’t be done by most users.

    It’s crazy that elitism is still holding this community back decades later. Nobody thinks you’re cool for typing in terminal, this isn’t the matrix it’s been 30 years.

    This kind of shit is the reason Windows is still way more popular



  • And for me when I use windows it has not had an issue with anything I’ve wanted to do. (Shrug)

    I’ve tried Arch and Mint, and both took constant tinkering just to use the internet and getting basic apps like Steam and Acrobat installed.

    I had to fucking download and install a set of libraries through the command line and follow a 20 step tutorial to make it so I can open a fucking .exe file.

    Shrugging and saying “it just works” instead of wanting the system to be accessable to non autists is what will forever keep Linux in the fringe.


  • Sadly I’m still not sure if it is ready. I installed Mint to a couple systems this year and am really disappointed at how much tinkering and troubleshooting I have had to do. Like I had to order a specific wifi card because almost nobody makes linux compatible wifi usb adapters. My brand new computer couldn’t connect to the internet despite me already having an expensive wifi dongle.

    The linux community will do anything besides improve the usability of their technology in their quest to get people to use their inferior technology.

    Post less memes, make an OS that is stable, has a navicable UI, and runs the things people want to run.
