See google for example. The push for behaviors that create cancel culture.
The thing is that they can't be affected by it because they're the one hiring such people. And since they have the marketing power of making all the negative aspects of it being invisible all other company does the same.
And besides marketing control if you don't comply you're Hitler2 if you don't.

In the GNU/linux communities we are affected by this because:
-Sponsorship by these same corporations.
-Employee of these same corporations are participating in the communities.
-Companies outside of the corporation took the woke pill.

See what happened with "James Damore" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google's_Ideological_Echo_Chamber

I have no idea. She has a degree in some serious shit, and she can go through it from mrmory into insane detail, but she seems to be no longer able to adapt to any new behavior without severe fear...

And her health is seriously getting worse, so I just want to spend some time with her...

sorry, this got dark.

This reminds me of a story.
My step-mom wanted to show me some pictures in Zoner. I turned the first one in Irfan view.

Her: How do I show next picture
Me: Press the right arrow.
Her: But how do I
Me: Press the right arrow!
Her: I don't know how to
Me: PRESS... THE.. RIGHT... ARROW...
Her: I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU
Me: Look carefully... *I extremely slowly pressed the right arrow
Her: BUT how do I
Me: Ok, give me your hand

She started crying... :pepeDread: I am at this point completelly sure she is retarded, but nothing I can do. It's not like diagnosing it would help anyway.

Obviously, but this thing is the first 10 responses a user gets whenever he asks...

Could you guys for ONCE not go into the "Installers are overrated" bullshit?

@Jack @mangeurdenuage
I always thought the biggest problem with Linux is Linux.

But I think I mus-judged it a bit. The single biggest problem with Linux is, that whenever anyone mentiones it, the "It's awqcctuawly GNU/LINUX" copypasta appears.

@LukeAlmighty @mangeurdenuage "Windows just needs to go back to XP UI" is the biggest grognar meme of them all. Every computer literate person knows that W10 is bloated with Spyware but no Linux desktop comes even close in terms of ease of use. To normies Linux will always be just the GNUcar meme.

@dushman@neckbeard.xyz @mangeurdenuage @Jack
Yeah... At this point, I heard this meme so many times, it makes me not only wander if these people believe it, but also if this meme (seriously pushed by linux warshipers) is one THE reason noone want's to give it a try.

Sometimes I forget just how autistic Linux evangelists are...

@Jack @mangeurdenuage
Terminal to install browser is a meme.

10 page manual to find disk D is a problem. Per program access rights are something normie won't get over no matter how huge the manual is.

@mangeurdenuage
Damn, you're black pilled.

Why do you think proprietary software would ruin open source os?

Why do you think people would buy microsoft products, when they offer nothing better?

What exactly do you think I meant by "improving it for average user"?

@Laconicif @mangeurdenuage
One of the beta builds of win 10 was amazing.

The OS is great... They just took it, and filled it with bloat to such a level, it's not usable anymore.

@s8n @mangeurdenuage
No, I have coinfidence in laws of economy.

Nvidia will write the fucking driver themselves.

@mangeurdenuage
However bad it might sound, I am truly delighted about microsoft fucking up. Although the linux worshipers have been saying that "linux is finally ready for gaming" for the last 15 years, we are slowly getting to the breaking point, where it could be true.

All, that is left for lynux to become a one true OS is 2 steps.

1) A titan company seriously investing into improving it for average user (Valve seems to be taking the iniciative here)

2) One major fuck up on the side of Microsoft. (like that is ever going to be a long wait :pepelol: )

Once Lynux will be on par with microsoft when it comes to gaming, people will not be so hesetant to start switching completelly.
