FuglyDuckThose things were so hideous… and I actually thought they were cool at the time… well. Except OS9 sucked balls.
The power mac versions with the pull-to-open side were cooler. Mostly because there was a space above the PSU had just enough space to accommodate a tub of cottage cheese.
Pop it in on a Friday…. You’d be having class…. Elsewhere on Monday…
This is great, where are the rest?
This is a photoshop, the original from Modern Humorist said something like “when you download MP3s, you’re downloading communism” and it was attributed to the RIAA instead of Microsoft.

Thanks!

Hey Microsoft, your GitHub is showing
If github is still showing, you must be logged in.

RoyaltyInTrainingAnyone know how I can program Anarchism?
Allow all code merges automatically
oce 🐆Anarchy is not absence of rules, it’s absence of hierarchy. So you could still collectively agree to certain rules for merges.
So we could use a blockchain… (/s)
uisBasicaly democracy on steroids
But then one person disagree with those rules and we’re back to no rules
You can have a majority vote system.
Which is not a collective agreement and not anarchism, if it imposes rules on those who voted against.
Is it not possible for the people to all agree to respect the result of the majority vote even if they voted against the motion?
Which requires a consensus.
An initial one.
Which can be broken at any moment, and no infant is bound by it until they accept it, and they have the choice of not accepting it.
Expecting some aliens to bring us the end of scarcity is similar to this in terms of probabilities.
dd if=/dev/random of=anarchism bs=1024 count=1024;chmod 755 anarchism;./anarchism
Holy hell, I need to try this in a vm sometime!
The output is not valid, it won’t do anything… maybe write to a file “anarchy” in the dir in which the terminal was opened.
I think that emulates anarchism pretty well.
Well, not exactly. Anarchism is pretty close to what Socialism is, in terms of distributing labour.
Open a git repo.
Open a GitHub repo with a hello world script and accept each and every commit
PotatoesFallwork on decentralized technology like lemmy
The same way, generally. Work on decentralized, open source software. It’s modern Mutual Aid.
Anarchists are just people who think Stalinism is communism and haven’t read Marx yet
I was just thinking about why many things on Linux are better. Like the install process on Linux is years ahead of windows.
Then it occurred to me that windows only improves things that can make them money. If you need to install windows, then you can deal with the crappy installer.
Linux devs improve the parts they think need to be better. The decisions are not guided by money and can be made without bias.
This realization somehow amazes and depresses me at the same time
Now you’ve got the idea apply it to everything in capitalist society. Especially if something is owned by shareholders.
Most people don’t install windows. It comes pre installed on something they bought. Microsoft probably puts more time into automating the process.
Also, last time I installed windows it was a breeze. I haven’t installed Linux in at least a decade, so I can’t speak for that.
kaboom36Try installing debian some time, the installer makes windows’ installer feel like its for a piece of software you got of a sketchy site that wants to install 16 other things not even related to it
I mean, sounds exactly like the Windows installer to me
We must be using different installers then, because between the amount of telemetry you have to turn off, the dark patterns, and the insistence on using a Microsoft account the whole experience reminds me of installing one of those “driver updaters” when I was a kid and before I learned that was a very bad idea
I trust Bonzi Buddy more than anything made by microsoft at this point.
The install process on windows is clicking a few buttons.
For the vast majority of users it’s a way better experience.
The install process on windows is clicking a few buttons.
That’s the default tracking experience, if you fall for all the dark patterns. Was a while ago, hunh?
Again the vast vast majority of users don’t care. And that’s their target audience.
There’s that one screen where you disable telemetry, which I’ve always consider a part of the install process, but is there anything malicious other than that? The process as a whole is quite straightforward in my experience.
From my experience(installing windows 10, 11, linux mint and nobara), installing linux is way easier than installing windows
Linux devs improve the parts they think need to be better. The decisions are not guided by money and can be made without bias.
Sounds pretty communist
Avid AmoebaSounds like the decisions about what to make, how to make it and for whom to make it are done by the people doing the work. 🤔🫢
Talk shit on FOSS, by comparing it to communism like it’s a bad thing, on Lemmy.
Now there’s a message this place will love, lol.
It’s clearly a red scare parody.
Of course, and it’s an old image too, but it still amused me thinking of the contrast between the message and the current audience.
There isn’t, the message itself is satire. The audience is precisely who the message is for, it’s making fun of Microsoft comparing FOSS to Communism, parodying red scare propaganda.
Unless I’m misunderstanding you, of course.
Trying to explain satire is communism
KreekyBonezit seems like a pro-communist programming message to me. the red dude looks super cool and supportive.
Yeah, he’s probably giving mad tips to the dev and he looks happy, so we know the red dude is not just a dickhead.
Holy shit, this is an old old meme. This image has got to be at least 25 years old
