    If they only hate it enough to bitch and moan but not enough to switch to something else, it’s worth fuck all.

      Can’t change my work computer. I’m on Zorin on personal devices. I still HATE windows 11 with a passion.

      And people have hated Linux for almost as long. I believe in actions not in people complaining online. Linux is an option for a lot of people but they don’t want change, they want to complain. And Microsoft profits of that inaction.

        I don’t think anyone who isn’t a dedicated Linux user hates Linux. You have to be familiar with something to hate it, and it has taken a very long time for Linux to even breach into non-computer-nerd consciousness. Linux is probably more hated today than it ever has been previously and, in a way, that’s a good thing.

          Well, yeah, because Linux is not the status quo. If you hate Windows you need to change and people hate change. If you hate Linux, you just go on living you (ignorant) life.

            There’s no symmetry there. Windows users don’t hate Linux. They hate Windows, and are mostly unaware of Linux. Linux users hate Windows, but also hate Linux, and are usually fully aware of the shortcomings of both.If

            If you hate Linux, it’s not a matter of ignorance. It’s because you also love Linux, and use it all the time.

    That guy’s so funny “If you think that’s insane hit subscribe!!” Wait what? These idiots reveal their agenda so quickly. Windows is fine. Honestly, I’m speaking to you from outside the bubble and we’re all ok. Everything’s running fine and updates are happening without any issue for most of us. This sweaty bearded salesman is just dog whistling Linux users and “mentally vulnerable” Windows users. If you think switching operating systems is going to go smoothly for you, boy do I have a bridge I want to sell you. “Everyone Hates Windows Right Now” yeah right 🤣

      You need some reading comprehension. The title is referring to a recent sentiment shift which has become very apparent with many people in the media and YouTube bringing it up. Obviously the the vast majority of Windows users don’t hate it, that’s not how the word “everyone” is being used here.

    Someone in the YT comments said that Microsoft Microslop stock just a few days ago, dropped hard. They weren’t kidding.

    It looks like it dropped $48 per share in over a day. Another $8 (I believe) the next day.

      That’s mostly because of the “AI” money circlejerk and losses they need to write off. All these companies involved are tanking hard.

      Does lemmy not pull the image or something? This is what I see on piefed:

      image

      And on Mastodon.social:

      image

      Is lemmy the only one that does not auto-pull the thumbnail?

        Yeah im trying out every other fedi platform. Seems like they either pull directly from youtube to get the thumbnail OR they just use the embed on youtube. Lemmy is the one (from what I can tell) that has an issue with this.

            I have no idea. It was instant for me. But on lemmy.world the thumbnail is not showing up.

            Actually it looks more and more like a bug on their system. All the videos dont have thumbnails but ONLY on lemmy.world. That I can see anyways.
