On other sites, I've been corrected. And I've been corrected a bunch of times here, too.

The difference being here I learned something and it's cool.....

and say over at reddit being corrected on something that you're not only correct about, but called an asshole for it as well.

It's been a really nice change of pace. Thank you, inhabitants of Lemmy.

Unless it's windows...... never admit you're a windows user.... ever... /s

I have tremendous fun posting "Have you tried Windows?" on the Linux communities whenever someone posts a problem

It's exactly what they do a dozen times over on any queries about Windows problems, but strangely they don't find my answer helpful

Also don't admit you use anything else made/owned by Microsoft. Or Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, or—God forbid—Reddit.

Yep, that actual chance at learning something instead of being blindly insulted anyway is such a refreshing change.

~~And especially never admit you're totally not running Windows on a Protogen because you couldn't be bothered to modify it.~~
