What if I’m both
FOSS and Privacy apologists , but fervent online gamers in proprietary Games.
I’ll die before I apologize for linux
There’s nothing to apologize for
Linux didn’t work on my random hardware!
Linux doesn’t have proprietary program X!
Linux didn’t work with my online game that forces you to install spyware on your computer!
Linux doesn’t let you know all the latest movies, products, and deals!
Linux didn’t make me agree to an EULA!
Something like that I guess.
Linux doesn’t let you know all the latest movies, products, and deals!
What does this mean? Genuinely Curious.
I guess ads
When you install Windows 11 it suggests OneDrive, Office 365, and Gamepass. After it is installed it will push news articles and advertisements in your start bar. If you use Edge it will also land on a default web page used to advertise products, services, and media.
I think there are some distros of Linux like Ubuntu that does some of these things, but nowhere near what Windows does now.
A lot of modern proprietary interfaces have started spamming people with ads about “the latest stuff” in the notification menu, the app launcher menu, and a few other places.
That sounds like quite a weird reason to prefer Windows, you can just follow an RSS feed with the “latest stuff” and not have it forced down your throat.
I don’t think people prefer it, I think they’re culture shocked when the algorithms stop telling them what to think. It’s an uncanny feeling at first and can be uncomfortable for some.
hell yeah!
I love that you called them apologists 😂
cope and seethe, redditor
*Apostels
I must be out of the loop. Are Linux apologists and tankies at cross purposes for some reason?
No but we (Linologists) would defeat them if we were
Okay fair enough, but if that’s the case, do you know what this meme is about?
Theres a joke some instances are filled with tankies and it can be annoying for non tankies, when in reality theres actually an even bigger amount of linux apologists who are even more obsessed about their passion/hobby than tankies and talk about it more than they do, which is likely to be more annoying for non linux users. At least thats my takeaway
Yeah. Linux is anarchist. Tankies don’t believe in Linux because it functions without state ownership. They think it’s a CIA psyop.

I’m not sure I agree with that interpretation, but that’s at least an explanation for why they might be at cross purposes. Can anyone else who’s upvoting the meme explain what this is about?
I use ubuntu by the way 🤓
Seems to be about memes and porn where I’m sitting.
The 100+ porn communities I’ve blocked agree with you
You can just turn nsfw off in your profile, no?
Theres a difference between nsfw memes and joke/shitpost content, and straight up porn though. Thats why i just have different accounts for different purposes, and on my main block porn as it comes up.
So this giant comes from a place where giant trees grow.

They all do, they just tell people they use arch cause it makes them look cool.
