playground-style arguments

Perfect description of your angry ranting ITT

Your derisive laughing in response to this valid question validates anyone’s negative opinion of your trolling here

This is a weird hobby I gotta say. Wanna say a few words about how evil Firefox is but zero about chrome/Google while you’re at it? Maybe write a paragraph or two about the perfect blameless business practices of Microsoft? I think your Halloween costume would be great, you can just continue to follow the model of a Ben-Shapiro-style weirdo who says how much they despise the idea of Linux while pretending to be unbiased, in every conversation. You’re like the anti-evangelist. In every conversation you are not looking for ways to sell people on Linux, you’re looking for ways to bring up how “awful” it is.

Again, pretty fucking weird hobby.

See, that version of me is something. Bet he makes more money, too. Probably gets paid by Microsoft.

For the record, I’m typing this on Firefox, which is my main browser on all OSs, Android included. It’s actually perfectly fine. I’d like more competition outside of Chromium, and I keep a Chrome install mostly to keep the Google Workspace stuff I do for work separate from my personal browsing, but… yeah, no, use Firefox, there are no downsides. Well, except the lack of tab grouping. They should steal that one already.

And man, I’ve been whining about Microsoft since the Windows 95 launch. I’m on the record with Microsoft support telling them that OneDrive is the single biggest liability for my business and the piece of software that has cost me the most money in my career. The moment I find a forum built entirely about praising Microsoft’s software as a fanboying collective you will see me point those out on the daily because come on.

But there isn’t one of those popping up on my feed. There is a Linux one, though, where people seem to be on different degrees of denial about the reality of the situation, so I sometimes point that out. Because man, do I wish the Linux community made different decisions so we could have a more viable desktop OS alternative for general use.

But yes, I am the anti-evangelist. On every angle. No evangelism here, in any meaning of the word. If you’re an evangelist of any persuasion for anything and you’re not getting paid, you should stop. I’d much rather look at things honestly. Even the things I like. It’s both better for you and a lot more fun.
