Wasn’t this reported as being a result of the preview build?
-
It was released. Did you read the article?
-
Yeah, but don't get in the way of the Windows evil, Linux savior movement here on lemmy or you'll get downvoted to oblivion. Pointing out simple facts apparently means you're a shill.
At least that's what I've seen in all the Windows posts over the last couple months. Not sure what changed from before that, but something definitely did.

People got fed up with Microsoft putting undeletable 9-gigabyte cache files on their systems? And AI junk that screenshots everything you do? And surveillance? And making the OS more hostile and worse in general with every release?
Lemmy exists because people got fed up with the corporate analogue. You'll see a lot of the same sentiment in other matters too.
-
I'm just pointing out that it's a sudden and extreme change in commentary with no ramp up. The kind of thing that in other contexts, like politics, often comes from something like a coordinated attack or disinformation scheme.
Real world testing of a new propaganda campaign system on a topic most users don't give a shit about (Windows vs Linux), in a niche corner of the internet (Lemmy), isn't exactly an unlikely scenario.
-
Nah, this is just what it's been like from the moment Lemmy got momentum. The fediverse is pretty fundamentally aligned with the goals and interests of the same people who are part of the FOSS and Linux philosophy. From where I joined more than a year ago, it's been more or less the same.
-
If that's the case and I've somehow managed to just never see any of those threads until recently...
They might want to know that constantly saying "Windows bad, Linux good" in every thread doesn't convert people, it just gets annoying. That in turn makes people dislike the group and dismiss what they say without a second thought, even if they're right.
-
You seem to misunderstand. Here on the Fediverse, Linux users are NOT such a minority as on the rest of the Internet. Most people here do not need "converting". They already have. Again, you're not on Reddit or Twitter. You are literally surrounded by open source enthusiasts.
-
Oh I don't misunderstand at all. They're preaching to the choir and thinking they're doing something. Like idiots.
-
Yes, it's called a circlejerk. Happens on many forums where people agree on something. It's not that serious.
-
...and as Internet has turned in to a myriad of echo chambers, circlejerking and trolling is all there is anymore.

Using Windows on purpose because of a couple annoying nerds is quite the self-own
-
Posting as if your choice of OS is inherently superior to other choices is just pathetic.
-
-
Actually, I saw enough comments about people switching to Linux that I finally said "what the hell" and took the plunge! Very glad I did, as I read more and more crap Microsoft is doing.
And if you don't like comments that won't change anything and just annoy people...maybe you should reevaluate your bellyaching 😄

You're in a thread about MS fucking up and you're annoyed that people are... [Checks notes]... complaining about MS fucking up? What exactly did you come here expecting?
-
Hahahaha this is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Lemmy being extremely pro-Linux is not new. Hell, you admitted it, this is a niche corner of the internet that's based around an open source alternative to a popular platform
-
I remember the browser wars, that's when microsoft exposed themselves how shitty they were to the world IMO.
That's a long time ago. Years and years.
The ramp up started then, IMO.

Yeah, but
Actually no, but don't let either of you failing to read the article get in the way of making your smug little screed.

1 downvote so far

Pathetic, try again
