How many reasons do they have to give you before you walk away from facebook?

[john89@lemmy.ca]

I don't use facebook, but I'm seeing Linux brought up way more among the consumer tech-crowd.

Looks like they all want to fit in with each other by resisting "windows surveillance."

Personally, I think it's pretty stupid where they decide to draw the line, almost like they're not even making the decision for themselves. But I'll still accept it if it causes more people to drop proprietary software.

I suspect they just know their model is shitter than the other corporate ones, and want to reap the benefits of the FOSS community hacking it

[john89@lemmy.ca]

You're definitely onto something. This isn't the first time corporations have targeted FOSS, but because Linux is gaining in popularity we're starting to see the old FUD and EEE tactics come back into play.

The powers that be know the threat free software is to their control.

Richard Stallman was right when he said "free software, free society."

Probably more like people complaining about Windows, and others recommending a switch to Ubuntu or something.

[probably2high@lemmy.world]

This is a hilarious thought, because you know Windows Chad couldn't get through two sentences before vomiting out something about AI "Linux can't even have Copilot baked into the fiber of every piece of the system like Windows does, Linux is just an old fashioned computer."

Might be the one thing that would actually bring the year of the Linux desktop.
