This would be a lot more accurate if Windows users weren’t constantly complaining about Windows.

Reminds me of some encounters I had when I used to play RuneScape.
“Tall, dark, bad boy with power” = Darth Vader
“I don’t think I’ve ever knowingly lied”
And this is how you immediately tell everybody you’re a liar.
I’m surprised that Facebook consistently ranks higher than Snapchat on these charts. I thought younger generations considered Facebook to be for “old people” for just about 7 years now.
The rule of any article asking asking a question in its title is that the answer is always no.
EDIT: I read the OP and now realize what you mean. I’ll keep this here anyway.
It’s a meme, hence why it’s ridiculous.

I love this graphic because it’s a reminder to self-proclaimed “gamers” that mobile gaming has been doing laps around “real” gaming for over half a decade now, with no indication of the trend changing. Yes, mobile games are typically lower quality and more predatory, but it’s undeniable that the average person who plays video games now is just a regular person with a phone.
Again, if you’re already that far down the rabbit hole, anything that tells you, “No, you’re wrong” is going to upset you. That includes a shadow ban, explicit ban, or somebody just telling you that you’re wrong.
If you think I’m wrong and you think shadow bans especially push people towards being alt-right and believing conspiracy theories, then I’d love to see a study that says so because that’s what would likely convince me.
So, you’re suggesting that shadow banning has caused the rise of the alt-right and their conspiracy theories, which implies that they wouldn’t exist without shadow bans.
Or they already exist and are in such a fragile state that even an explicit ban makes them upset (which it does.)
I’m pretty sure anybody who develops anything in the jailbreaking scene can tell you that Apple’s source code is not open to the public.
I think a lot of people buy Macs because they think the only other choice is a computer running Windows.
I know this is a slightly different category, but Snapchat’s UI is absolutely the worst- far worse than all of these. It’s my go-to UI to pick on.
Oh, this reminds me of the company I’m working for right now.
“You want this promotion? Great! You’re qualified and we’ll have you do this project first to see if you like this work.”
“Really? I have almost no experience with this programming language, but okay!”
Does project
“Actually, you’re not qualified enough. Sorry!”
A week later one of the devs on that team apologized for the situation (not that it was their fault at all.) But still, what BS that all was.
Because they don’t care who owns what platform. They care that they’re different and only some of their friends are on one of them and not the other.
Because many more people are concerned with where their friends are and what’s cool.
I appreciate your well-thought response. I’ll give you my 2¢ and I want to preface what I’m about to say with the idea that this not a hill I’m willing to die on, it’s just my personal experience.
On the contrary, I have accidentally ran into a number of people online saying “I’m so happy with the performance of my Linux box” but less so for Windows, but that’s likely due to the communities I’m a part of. I also made my original comment with specific, stubborn people I know in real life, who hate Windows and refuse to do anything about it.
The time you’ve seemingly spent configuring Windows sounds like the same amount of time an average Linux user would spend to setup theirs. I also use Windows, macOS, and Linux daily and have all kinds of weird issues on all 3 of them, but for Windows, since everything is closed source, there’s often nothing I can do about those issues other than wait for an update and hope those issues are fixed. The same goes for macOS but the number of issues I have with it are very minimal in comparison. But at the end of the day, if this setup makes you happy, then I’m happy to hear it.
