    EDIT: I'm picking up on some big time virgin energy from all the people in this thread who think girlsmell is a fetish. Girls smell. If you didn't know that, it's clear the only women you've ever been with were 2D.

    PS: If you prefer boysmell that is also very valid, and if you don't like stinky partners at all I want you to know I stand with the ace community and I'm only meaning to make fun of allos.

    I remember it so clearly man... The morning of October 15 2025, a Wednesday as I recall. People were warned but they didn't listen. They don't ever listen.

    I'll never forget the screaming. Millions of Windows 10 computers just spontaneously exploding all over the place. Women, children and men with beards running down the streets of every city just trying to avoid the thousands of computers being thrown from the tops of buildings. The world was never the same after that. I found an abandoned bus in the chaos so I tried to save as many people as I could. We rode into the night towards the hills. Away from the cities and the looting and chaos.

    Or you know... it just means no updates and we'll all probably be fine.

    Or you know... it just means no updates and we'll all probably be fine.

    Dude, I would be hesitant to use an OS more than a month after EOL. I hope you realize that your OS no longer receiving security updates is a really, really, really bad thing. People staying on Win10 instead of upgrading to Linux or macOS or downgrading to Win11 is going to be zero day heaven.

    [–] Novamdomum@fedia.io 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    I remember even TheTechnician27 tried to warn us "it's going to be zero day heaven!" they said but everyone just shrugged and now here I am with my fellow refugees in the woods trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

    [–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

    You need a squirrel army to start the uprising to eat the rich, obviously

    [–] lattrommi@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

    I'm sure they mean an elegant dinner party to honor them and not eating your extended family as a light snack before bedtime.

    This meme just threatened to undo the last 3 years of daily driving linux, by making me consider going back to windows

    [–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

    Why? So you can experience win10 for a few months?

    [–] bishbosh@lemm.ee 0 points 3 weeks ago

    Sounds like weakness to me comrade.

    [–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    I think I'm hopping to TempleOS. It's going to take more than Windows to save me from this.

    [–] highball@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

    I might be there with you. Going to try avoiding the distros that attract the mental-illness crowd first. Maybe I have to go back to Slackware.

    [–] highball@lemmy.world -1 points 3 weeks ago

    lol, 25+ years for me. Fortunately it looks like I just have to avoid certain distros. Hopefully mental-illness will go out of vogue soon, so we can move past all this garbage and get back to computing.

    As an engineer who's worked exclusively with Linux for 25 years this meme makes me want to buy a windows license.

    [–] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

    I'm buying a Windows 11 license.

    I really like the fact that the Lemmy community includes a whole swathe of trans folk, I learned some new stuff the safe way and that's really REALLY valuable to me.

    I also really like the freedom that using Lemmy for social media empowers us with. Freedom of OS, Porn, whatever.

    I can respect almost all kinks, ofc there's bound to be a couple I don't understand but that's not a problem for me, if every participant consented.

    I dislike furry kink, it invokes a feeling of disgust in me. This post alienates me slightly from the Linux community. Not a problem, but it did make me realize I would want to be more careful linking my kinks to my favorite Tools/Software in the future in a global media setting.

    2025 Is my Linux year. Last year I tried as well, but I hardly boot to Linux today. Before the year is over, Windows will OS non grata here. Except on my Surface maybe πŸ€”

    [–] spicehoarder@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

    From what I've seen while Linux support is okay for the Surface line, it's just not there yet to make sense as an "upgrade" power management and wireless still need some work if I recall correctly.

    Oh the times a-coming, but as I only really use my PC for gaming now, I’m holding out for a SteamOS distro.

    [–] SaltSong@startrek.website 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Same here. The minute I can be confident than my steam collection will run on Linux, I'm switching over.

    [–] drkt_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Have you tried? Because Proton is the miracle people make it up to be.

    [–] SaltSong@startrek.website 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    I'm not in a position to experiment, but I'm following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.

    I'll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.

    [–] zippythezigzag@lemm.ee 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Just started using mint. Tell me a game that you're curious about and if I own it I'll try it out.

    [–] SaltSong@startrek.website 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    My current big ones are Windsail, Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies, Stardew, and Traveler's Rest.

    Also Star Trek Online, but that's not Steam.

    Appreciate any testing you are able to do.

    [–] crater2150@feddit.org 1 points 3 weeks ago

    Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies and Stardew Valley have native Linux Support. For Stardew, even the third modding API works flawlessly for me.

    For the other ones, they are reported to run well on protondb.com, which is a good place to check Linux support (not only for Steam games). The reports there usually also list, which proton version works well.

    some of us dislike being associated with animal fetishists, you see

    [–] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    that sounds like a "you" problem

    [–] archonet@lemy.lol -1 points 3 weeks ago

    it isn't, but I forgive your stupidity

    [–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

    Definitely not an animal fetish... You're confusing furries with zoophilia, completely different thing. Most furries I know would bust out the baseball bats if they heard someone in the community was a zoophile

    [–] archonet@lemy.lol -1 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

    "definitely not an animal fetish"

    oh so it's all zoophiles making all the furry porn on sites like furaffinity, not furries? how strange! it would seem that furry communities have, in fact, a disproportionately large amount of zoophiles making pornography that fetishizes animals in their community. Y'all should probably do something about that! After all, it'd be kind of weird to beat it to porn featuring animals instead of porn featuring human beings if you weren't, yanno, attracted to animals.

    or, y'know, it is actually an animal fetish. But I'm sure you're totally unbiased and thinking objectively, given your instance. lmfao

    [–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    The entire reason for furry porn is that the furries are more human than animal, it's like werewolves. But you're out here being a weird puritan shoving your views on sex down everyone else's throat, so IDK what your goal here is other than yelling at people different from you.

    Find a hobby, my guy.

    [–] archonet@lemy.lol 0 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

    The entire reason for furry porn is that the furries are more human than animal

    really? then I have a wild concept for you, something even more human than furry porn: actual fucking human beings, you brainlet. If you were attracted to humans, you'd beat off to humans. by virtue of choosing to beat off to furry porn, you are clearly attracted to and therefor fetishizing animals. that isn't "a weird puritanical view", that's simply an evident truth to anyone with two brain cells to rub together. But it's okay, I forgive your stupidity.

    so IDK what your goal here is other than yelling at people different from you.

    I'm supposed to have a goal? that's news to me. All I did was answer the question that some of us dislike being associated with animal fetishists, in response to someone else asking why a linux user wouldn't want to be associated with them. At which point you promptly got offended on behalf of all animal fetishists and tried to spin it as being something other than what it is, and I don't care to indulge your fantasy. If you want to delude yourself, that's your problem, but nobody else is obligated to play along, least of all me -- and if you don't like it, then find another hobby, my guy, preferably one that isn't disgusting. c:

    feel free to keep being a salty degen though, too, it is funny to watch.

    I accept your concession. bye then! better luck next time!

    [–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

    It's not a concession, I just don't want to talk to a homophobic moron, lmao

    [–] archonet@lemy.lol 0 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

    sure looked like a concession to me, sport. also, "homophobic"? Lmfao. We were talking about animal fetishists, not gay people -- further, I'm gay. Wanting to fuck your own gender is a recognized (and in some places protected) sexual orientation, wanting to fuck animals is not. It's okay, I still forgive your stupidity. Better luck next time, champ.
