Ok, just checked it out, I guess the guy couldn't afford therapy and created that instead. He's life seems really sad.

"Misery loves company"

When you see stuff like this, people just randomly hating on something that just seems so out there it's usually because they're insanely depressed and/or their life is in shambles. So the guy is in a miserable state and lashes out in hopes he can somehow make others lives equally as miserable so then he finally, in a way, won't feel "alone".

In this case, the company that the misery seems to love would be the Microsoft.

Lol yes that didn't make any sense. They should remove #3 to at least keep it coherent

I mean, it's no different than AI Sucks, FuckCars, and a ton of other communities here (and I say this as a 3-year exclusive Linux user).

Edit: lol at how many people are having to justify it to themselves that their pet communities centered entirely around hating something are totally different bro from the community centered entirely around hating something they happen to like.

If there's one thing that unites all of Lemmy, from the tankies to the libs to the anarchists, it's a complete absence of self-awareness.

Like the other comment implies, we don't get to choose to not live in a car-centric world, or one where AI companies aren't fucking everything up. For that matter, we also don't get to live in a world where Linux is prioritized over a corporate OS in the wider world. A FuckAI, FuckCars, or even FuckWindows community makes sense, in that we need to fight to change the status-quo to improve the world.

FuckLinux is fighting for the status quo. It is actively pushing the repressive option. That's how it's different. It is not trying to change things; it's trying to prevent things from changing.

(Also, Lemmy is FOSS. If you're advocating against FOSS then you should leave. How does someone like that even end up here?)

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 11 points 18 hours ago

Not really. People have reasons for hating AI and cars, and for going against the grain by doing so.

Linux is just... Linux... anyone who doesn't like it doesn't have to use it. It's just there, waiting to provide an alternative option to anyone who wants to break away from the proprietary mainstream...
