"I installed malware on my computer and now the malware does what the author of the malware wants."
Oh no. Anyway...
Ladies and gentlemen, a prime example of exactly why people don’t switch to Linux.
The loudest portion of the community are insufferable twats, and you know it’s bad because I’m an insufferable twat and I’m calling this one out on it.
People like OP install obviously shit software and then whine on the Internet about how shit the software is they chose.
People like you cry about that someone points out how it's obviously their own fault entirely.
I'm pretty sure I'm not the most insufferable twat in this thread. Not even close.
You may not even want to hear it because you're obviously so far up your own ass that you wouldn't be able to but:
Most computers ship with Windows installed, maybe they didn't "choose" anything
There are a lot of people who need to use Windows professionally, Linux is not always a viable alternative at all
People are allowed to prefer Windows for their own reasons and still complain about the shit MS pulls off without immediately being attacked for "installing malware"
They chose a computer with Windows preinstalled.
You misunderstand. I'm not saying don't use Windows. I'm saying don't use Windows and then whine about it later. If you have a job that requires you to use Windows and you have a problem with using Windows, go complain to your manager, not some strangers on the Internet, they can't help you.
People are allowed to prefer Windows no question, but somehow they're always surprised that an operating system, that is generally known for performing actions from which MS profits, performs actions from which MS profits. And then they go cry on the Internet about it like dealing with this wasn't the consequence of their own actions. And then they're surprised they get ridiculed for being ridiculous.
You keep talking about choice even though there isn't one for many people. And why wouldn't they be allowed to whine about it? To call out MS for their constant bullshit is absolutely the right thing to do imo.
Your initial comment was not only incredibly condescending and presumptuous but doesn't help anyone. And it's also absolutely the last thing people wanna hear who keep getting invaded like that by MS all the time. So you kinda deserve the backlash, sorry you don't see that.
The post quite literally says "WHY THEY ****ING IGNORE IT???". That's not calling out MS for their bullshit. That's asking why MS would do MS bullshit, to which the obvious answer is "because they're MS", hence my comment
May I point out the part where I said, that if you're forced to use Windows then maybe you should complain to the people who force you, not random people on the Internet, who are not responsible for your problems.
Then it was right on topic. 🤷♂️
