  • The number one reason not to switch is “I don’t want to”. And I dislike that Windows users keep repeating decades old solved issues as excuses instead of being honest.

    ‘But muh games’ only very few don’t work OOB or at all.

    ‘I need this software’ most works flawlessly under Wine.

    ‘It crashes’ exactly as often as Windows with faulty hardware or bug in a driver.

    ‘Hardware isn’t plug&play’ more hardware works with Linux without installing drivers.

    Jusy say “I dont want to give it a shot” or “I’m in the minority that can’t switch”, but don’t bullshit people about Linux requiring cmd to work. And those people then suggest editing registry to remove ads… It’s dishonest and in bad faith.

    FOSS is the only way forward to stop complete enshittification of the digital space, like it or not.

    Also I hate Microsoft and Apple with all my soul.

    I get that most don’t care, but that doesn’t mean supporting those companies is good.






  • I remember Canary Island Lanzarote - the Timanfaya National Park has this black lava scenery, that goes for MILES. Just random black rocks, fortunately there is a sea.

    Once, we wanted to stargaze with SO, and I remembered that there is no possible better place to do that than a large plane without a single light source.

    Unfortunatelly, it was cloudy that night, so we had to drive for half an hour back.

    It was the most surreal part of the vacation. Dim lights from the car, scattered around vague black rock formations for miles on end. Everything was silent, I would not be suprised if we got teleported to another dimension. Just black rocks on each side, menacingly moving behind us, never ending, just silently cruising by us.

    I read Lovecraft, but never really understood his early stories, like Dagon, until I drive thought there. My mind was running wild making up stories in that scenario.
