    On other sites, I’ve been corrected. And I’ve been corrected a bunch of times here, too.

    The difference being here I learned something and it’s cool…

    and say over at reddit being corrected on something that you’re not only correct about, but called an asshole for it as well.

    It’s been a really nice change of pace. Thank you, inhabitants of Lemmy.

    Unless it’s windows… never admit you’re a windows user… ever… /s

      I have tremendous fun posting “Have you tried Windows?” on the Linux communities whenever someone posts a problem

      It’s exactly what they do a dozen times over on any queries about Windows problems, but strangely they don’t find my answer helpful

        I did try Linux. I even took a college course and learned enough to pass. But I have a super shitty memory and it was redhat back in the late 90s so ALL THOSE COMMANDS. Jumping Jesus Christ on a pogo stick. I mean Linux had a gui but it was useless. So, instead I’m bashing away at my head with the little animal books, and for what? You couldn’t play games on it. Basically Linux was soooo painfully unenjoyable last time I used it I haven’t touched it since.

      Also don’t admit you use anything else made/owned by Microsoft. Or Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, or—God forbid—Reddit.

      Yep, that actual chance at learning something instead of being blindly insulted anyway is such a refreshing change.

      And especially never admit you’re totally not running Windows on a Protogen because you couldn’t be bothered to modify it.
