I've been using both for a good while by now, Linux is good but damn I know that's a sacrilege but I still like Windows.

Granted, I heavily customized my Windows install, made all the adjustments I wanted and threw out most of the nagging garbage and my locked down work computer is definitely worse.

Windows just... works most of the time, and it's fluent and does what I want.

At the end of the day, most of the direct user interaction with an OS "directly" is task bar, start menu and file manager. And for all of these things, there's a lot that annoys me on Linux. In Windows, I'm very happy.

Just to give one example. I like the individual entries in the taskbar to fill the entire width dynamically. If there's one entry, it fills the entire taskbar, you get what I mean. On Windows, that's a registry tweak. On KDE, that's basically impossible. Like, I'm sure somewhere in the source code for the panel there's a way to rewrite that, but frankly, that's close enough to "basically impossible" for me.

I would at least touch on VOY, it needs a bit to get going, just like TNG I suppose, but it's solid. And the big, big payoff is watching DS9 after that. DS9 is fantastic, but it only gets better with the context from VOY and TNG.

We've seen this spiel a few times, companies want to move to the cloud and then don't because it's ridiculous and plenty of things are just fine on local machines.

I don't lend this any more credence than all the "we'll all be gaming in the cloud in 10 years" crap when stuff like GeForce Now was popping up.

Do you really think "woke" is synonymous with "gay" and "Jew"?

No. Are you a farmer with too much extra inventory or what? That seems like the best explanation for your army of shitty strawmen.

No, I don't think that and I didn't say that. I mention these as examples of other intolerant groups.

I don't think your... questionable beliefs should impact my experience on kbin.social. I find myself wondering what other... unusual beliefs you harbour.

Ah yes, not providing a platform for hategroups is a "questionable belief" to you. Terribly sorry about that.

If banning a group called "antiwoke" is "impacting your experience" then feel free to be salty about it. You don't have a place here then and I'm more than fine with that. Go be a shithead on the internet somewhere else, you're not welcome.

Yes, in the same way I "don't like" magazines called "antigay" and "antijews".

Again, terribly sorry that I'm not going to be naive about it.

People joke about leopards eating people's faces for a reason. We don't have to act like these leopards eating people's faces are worth letting in because this time they totally won't eat people's faces even if they have done that every single time they have been let in anywhere else.

Oh we're replacing a shitty strawman with another one now?

Yes, congrats. If I repeatedly say they shouldn't be given a platform that's pretty much the same as me saying we should ban them.

That's really not the point. The point is that you are trying to claim that I want to ban anyone who disagrees with me when what I am saying, also quite explicitly, that we should ban people who are intolerant. Those are certainly two circles in a Venn diagram with some overlap, but two seperate circles nevertheless, and I'm only advocating for one of them. (The intolerant one, just to be very clear.)

That’s literally what you wrote. It’s your entire premise:

No, what I actually wrote was

I'm sorry, but there is no need or benefit to be found in tolerance for the intolerant. Nobody has to give them a platform. Nobody should.

I already called you out for being dishonest in your argument, why continue? Address what I actually said instead of the shitty strawman you try and fail to create.

You don’t like the name of the magazine and you want it banned, even though it hasn’t broken any rules. You just don’t like what the name implies.

I'm not in the business in being naive about it, terribly sorry. Show me a community that labels itself as "antiwoke" that isn't a racist cesspool and I'll entertain the argument.

Believe it or not, ne neither!

But this is also not something I have said. This is a strawman argument you created, consciously or not.

What I actually said was that we shouldn't provide a platform to the intolerant. Because they will seek to undermine and destroy our tolerance. There's a bit more nuance in my argument than "ban people just because they disagree with me". You kinda missed that.

I mean, Reddit very much controls who enters. Not so explicitly as to have a survey or something, but they very much have mechanisms against bots and people who try to circumvent bans for example.

I'm sorry, but there is no need or benefit to be found in tolerance for the intolerant. Nobody has to give them a platform. Nobody should. And if you seriously believe a community called "antiwoke" has anything positive or useful to bring to the table, I have a very nice bridge looking to get rid of.
