I think it's a rather human thing to do, explaining oneself when refusing to lend a hand. I also think warning friends, family and those I care for about what I consider dangerous to be quite nice.

I suppose we just have to agree to disagree about how we interact and care for our fellow humans.

FAMAS, two to the torso one to the head. End up blowing off two toes and a kneecap.

Sure, many jobs require people to use unethical, but legal tools and methods. I used to work somewhere like that - and what ever OS they had installed was irrelevant because it was their equipment, their systems and I didn't use work stuff for personal things.

But really, are you describing someone dependent on a job or someone dependent on certain windows-exclusive applications? Are they forced to use their personal equipment for work stuff?

I'd ask them to consider their dependence on windows only apps. If they want help with installing linux I'm happy to help, but I'm not an enabler there to help perpetuate their negative dependence.

I refuse to help people with installing any versions of windows out of ethical reasons, just like some tattooist refuse to tattoo people in the face or give them similarly stupid tattoos.

Yes, I'm arrogant enough to think I know better than those who haven't considered the issue at all.

Debian is a better version of Ubuntu.

HML was last updated in 2009, I'd recommend Justin Bieber Linux instead.

Things are so bad (and the future is even worse) so I've just stopped caring. Feels better than before, so that's an improvement!
