I was going to ask when has it ever made sense to run Windows, but then I noticed how old those logos are. Carry on!:-)
What are the current logos then? Did Linux’s change?
Windows: Just four blue squares
Apple: Same shape, no colour whatsoever
Linux: 🏳️⚧️
I always think it’s so funny that the old stereotypical gray haired man or neckbeard linux user got replaced by the new stereotypical transfem linux user. Now that there’s less need to compile our own software there’s more time to compile our own genders
My (entirely anecdotal, based on like three human beings who I’m acquainted with) impression is that the Trans-Chick linux user is the neckbeard linux user. She just started HRT in her 30s and lost a lot of weight.
talk about an unexpected overlap
Oh, there are still enough neckbeards in Linux. Especially in the YouTuber sphere.
The transfem is an additional route, officially merged when Linus Torvalds confirmed he was woke on Mastodon.
That one no.
aw man, why no credit
…wait, from adobe stock?!? hell yeahThat is odd that your comment has 0 upvotes. The normal default is 1, and it’s only been one minute since you said it, so hardly time for someone other than me to have seen it and reacted within that timeframe!? You might have a bot following you around the Fediverse instantly downvoting everything that you do?
i remove my upvote :)
Oh, mystery solved then!?
Karma’s
ayour bitch:-Psome lemmy karma counter thinks some guy downvoted every one of my comments [hypothetical]
tux now has competition with a fox
I do miss Windows 95 sometimes…
I mean, compared to Win 3.1, and before that, DOS…
I disagree. I use Linux but have depression. I’m upset that y’all left me out of this photo
New distro coming to shelves near you: Depression Linux
With microsoft edge preinstalled
and an all-snap packaging system
locates webserver hosting it, lights it on fire
The default background is black. The colors are all muted. The cursor is slow. The computer shuts down for 12 hours a day. The sounds sound compressed and muffled. When you try to open a program/app, it prompts, “For what? What’s the point?”
We call that Arch.
Oh shit, a multi boot diagnosis.
You made this image with a green pepper? That’s impressive, great work.
LONG LIVE THE GIMP BELLPEPPER
Green Is My Pepper
Ohhh… I’m a Krita enjoyer so I didn’t know this about gimp. TIL, haha
Akshually it’s called Autism Spectrum Disorder
I can’t speak for all of us, but I prefer “Autism” as a blanket term (that we hopefully all understand covers a wide spectrum anyway) over “Disorder”. Yes, I get that we deviate from the neurodevelopmental norm, but “Disorder” feels condescending to what I perceive as simply a different way of working.
I also understand that some with higher support needs may differ from that perception. My opinion is not universal.
On the other hand, I’m perfectly fine with calling my ADHD a Disorder. Shit’s chaotic as fuck.
I appreciate that. I have a partner who is on the spectrum and has ADHD as well.
I was only joking in the pedantic style often associated (rightly or wrongly) with autistic traits. ASD is the official DSM-5 term. Of course being a diagnostic manual, that focuses only on behavioral deficits. As I understand, the DSM gets plenty of criticism because like you mention, it omits all the interesting ways folks cope or even creatively use abilities like hyperfocus for positive outcomes. But on the other hand, I’m not sure successful behavior requires any psychological treatment, so that may be unnecessary to include in the first place.
Anyway, I think this is one of many situations where simple terminology doesn’t capture the full nuance of reality. So apologies if that came across as crude.
I didn’t take your comment as rude, personally. To me, opening with Akshually indicated that joking intent to parody pedantry and I took no offense. I just felt like expressing my opinion on the term with no particular judgement of your joke because I think that the words we use are worth talking about.
I know I have a habit of replying seriously to jokes, which often comes across as me taking issue with them. I keep forgetting to clarify the tone of my message. If only there was a medical term for that communication deficit 😉
this is why neurodivergence simply works in some cases. I do think ADHD is a bit of a disorder but ASD often grinds against it creating something more interesting.
As an autist can confirm
BeOS, Haiku OS, Temple OS, NeXTSTEP, OS/2, DOS, AmigaOS(ok, that’s just a single furry right now).
There’s a furry using AmigaOS?
… What for?
https://www.sabrina-online.com/
It’s a pretty safe for work comic. I haven’t found a citation, but supposedly it started in a Amiga magazine before moving online. It also stopped in 2016, so no one is using Amiga now I guess.
I keep wanting to buy a 500 or something a bit newer for nostalgia, but that’s hard (a) from Japan where they never really got off the ground and (b) as time goes on they get fewer and more expensive. Not a furry, however.
Only one of those is still in active development.
But there are still users.
Oh, I misunderstood. It’s concerning people are still using NeXSTEP and Amiga OS.
a1200 is not a want it is a need
wait we can’t play tuxcart anymore??? Why even use linux then???
Myself using Linux and home and having to use Windows at work… Seems accurate to me…
Me using Linux on one computer, Mac OS on another, and Linux on another.
I’m also depressed though.
20 year Linux user here. Definitely more depressed than autistic (but not claiming to be 100% NT).
Also I just got given a macbook for a new job. Feels weird.
20 day Linux user here and my Windows depression has been replaced with Linux confusion & wikis.
Yeah, it’s the bloody-mindedness that keeps you going
Yep. My stubbornness has gotten everything set up save for a good remote desktop alternative similar to parsec. I’m stuck between tripling the annual price of my current product (splashtop) to get access to their business solution that supports Linux; shelling out for a good ipkvm solution; or changing from Wayland to X11 so I can implement rustdesk.
Is anyone ever 100% NT/ND?
Crap… I use all three
Well, can’t argue with that, my doctor agrees.
