A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.

No, they won't. Maybe in small shops with only people who are advanced users and don't need/develop software for Windows. The rest is fantasy.

Hell the US military is using Ubuntu desktop, you can request it over windows, windows is the default though. Imagine the savings in electricity and licensing when getting rid or reducing windows usage.

You don’t think anyone would deploy Linux if 100% of employees wanted it over Windows? It only took about 10% (based on how many people I saw using it) at LinkedIn before they started offering it. Admittedly, that’s a tech company, but it’s also owned by Microsoft, and they still let us use Linux. And that was in ~2018, when Windows wasn’t that bad.

I know from experience. Moving to Mac is more likely, but that comes with higher costs. And most non-tech people are deep in the M$ Office/365 and even Windows tends to be too complicated for them. Many of them can't even follow two picture instructions, let alone move to another OS.
