No time for distrowars

...says the guy that makes a meme shitting on users of every other distro.

I guarantee you've had "problems" but you're so used to Windows now that you have the muscle memory to deal with it without thinking much about it.

Using all three in my household kinda highlighted for me how much I was just ignoring or working around the ugliness of Windows every single day.

Okay, this quote from the Wikipedia page made me laugh.

TempleOS received mostly "sympathetic" reviews. Tech journalist David Cassel opined that "programming websites tried to find the necessary patience and understanding to accommodate Davis".

Enough with the fan wars. Let's be perfectly honest for once. Windows, Linux, MacOS - they all suck. Sometimes in similar ways, sometimes in different ways. But they all suck.

Windows users - I get you, you use it because it sorta works 40%, of the time and sucks in the way you understand.

Linux users - I get you, you know all of the arcane incantations you need to quickly install, update, and troubleshoot your os in a terminal window. It works - once you apply your custom bash script that applies every change you need to get everything exactly how you like it. But again, it sucks in the way you understand.

MacOS users - well I don't really get you. You know what you've done.

We deserve better than this, guys. We deserve an os that just works, is easy to use, easy to configure, doesn't require an IT degree to use, and that we can recommend to our grandma without a second thought.

Doesn't stop certain big tech companies from building giant campuses with cafeterias and housing so that employees can literally live, eat, and sleep at work.

My wife and I would say hi when you moved in. We'd exchange small talk and eventually the conversation would hit a lull and you'd excuse yourself to go - you know, move in. I'd bring over cookies to greet you to the neighborhood. You'd offer an awkward smile, eat one, and throw the rest away later.

We'd exchange head nods or waves whenever one of us drives by. Occasionally, exchanging a "hey, nice weather huh?" when one if us passes by on a walk with the dog or just around the neighborhood.

The most interaction we'd have is when a tree branch falls on the fence during a winter storm. I'd pick up a few repair quotes, and come over with an offer to share the cost. Depending on your personality and personal financial situation, you'd either agree to pay part or start arguing that i should pay it all because the tree was on my property - and eventually I'd give up and pay for a bad neighbor fence.

If the former, we'd continue to have a friendly - if distant neighborly relationship. If the latter, we'd probably never interact again.

Someone's insecure about his Shakira collection.

Seriously though, I'm guessing this guy either doesn't like music at all (I've known a few and they act like this) or got made fun of a lot for his music tastes in high school. It's a shame this guy is probably a walking insecurity.

Which is a great reason to unmatch him and move on.
