Because Lemmy is full of insufferable entitled assholes.

COVID isn’t a flu, and treating it like it isn’t fair when you can be completely asymptomatic and spread it to someone who may have a really bad reaction to it.

The thing about the flu is that it has very obvious symptoms. You’re not getting the seasonal flu without knowing it. Meanwhile you may never know you have COVID, spread it to an immunocompromised person, and they die.

Go back to your broken Linux and PeerTube lmao

Having a discussion about paying for things isn’t garbage. You’re just poor and salty.

Love how Lemmy downvotes anyone who pays for anything. Such a great place for discussion! Definitely no echo chamber here.

Again, doesn’t matter if others have had the problem, because there is a way to fix it and plenty of distros ship with it fixed out of the box. Just because you picked a distro that has the problem, and you are too dumb to fix it doesn’t mean linux is broken. Having a choice in distros and packages is a fundamental principle of linux and that sets it apart from Windows where users have no choices.

Ubuntu, Fedora, and Manjaro have it broken out of the box. Please, tell me which Distro has it fixed out of the box? I would love to try and prove you wrong.

Also you’re literally proving my point. Linux doesn’t “just work” when you need to figure out how to fix it.

How about in Windows when I plug my gopro into it and double click on a video file that it takes 10 seconds before it will start playing? In linux it starts playing instantly. Have you ever tried to run docker services in Windows? It’s an absolute shitshow, but in linux it works flawlessly. See? I can give plenty examples of things working like shit in Windows that work perfectly in Linux. You actually are just an idiot, with no experience, and no idea how computer systems work.

GoPro files run instantly on my PC. Try not having such a potato PC? Not to mention it sounds like in both situations Windows DOES work, in my example, Steam does NOT reach full speed.

What about setting custom keyboard shortcuts? Can’t do it in Windows to the extent of Linux. What about fully customizing your desktop environment? Can’t do it in Windows.

Sounds like you need to learn what words mean. Keyboard shortcuts aren’t preventing Windows from working. Customization isn’t the same as “just working”. Windows does just work. I am not arguing with some asshole on Lemmy about Steam speeds on Windows. It just works.

So just keep trying to cope with the fact that you’re an idiot and you need to used a dumbed down OS that sends off telemetry data and forces ads on you. It’s okay. You’re a dumb dumb and are willing to put up with the shitshow of Windows. It’s okay if you cope by shitting on the superior OS, but it just makes you look like an idiot at the end of the day.

I would use Linux, but it doesn’t work, and the ‘easy fix’ doesn’t exist. Linux is the shit show. Has toxic people like you crying and coping and defending it. Sorry it sucks so bad it doesn’t even get networking, the most basic functionality in 2023, right.

I will tell you how to fix it when you admit that you’re an idiot that has been running their idiot mouth about things they don’t understand… and you apologize for doing it.

Typical response. You don’t know how to fix it. Keep yapping your fat mouth, nothing you say is true.

Enjoy acting like a know it all, when in reality you cannot fix a simple Steam speed issue on Linux lmao.

Okay, then tell me how to fix it. You say it’s easily fixable, tell me.

Or do what everyone else does, tell me how I’m stupid, the problem is me, and then refuse to help fix this “easily fixable” issue. It’s because you don’t know how to fix it, but you can’t admit Linux is broken.

You’re telling me that my experience means nothing because other people aren’t having the issue?

Here’s a new thread. See how the first reply is also talking about how this is a common issue, and links to a post from January 2015?

Steam on Linux has been broken for a decade and there’s no concrete fix. Sorry your OS is garbage.

The fact all of the Linux nerds who defend Linux and tell me how great it is can’t even tell me how to fix it. I thought Linux was so awesome, just worked, and you have full control over it? So then, smarty pants, tell me how to fix this issue that has been an issue for over a decade. I’ll wait.

Meanwhile I’ll keep downloading games on Windows at 1900Mbps.

So then what’s the issue?

Steam downloads at 1900Mbps on Windows.

Steam downloads at 120Mbps on Linux.

Sounds like a Linux problem. Cope harder, though.

How?

And the fact you think it’s okay to call someone a moron because in their experience Windows works better, is insane.

Can’t wait for Lemmy to fail. Oh wait, it already is. Stats go brrrr 📉📉📉

Ya because I got called a moron yesterday because Linux refuses to download steam games at max speed, and it’s somehow my fault. Lol

Reddit is doing better than Lemmy. Have you seen Lemmy statistics lately? 📉

Edit: Lemmy users mad about facts.

Do you have any idea how excited I was for the GTA trilogy remake? I’ve been waiting for so long. Only to be slapped in the face.

The worst part is that I know rockstar will never attempt to remake them again. I’ll never get that San Andreas remaster.

I agree that the pricing doesn’t make sense unless you can split it, which is what I do.

Premium is $25 in Canada. You can add 5 people to your plan. That makes it $5 per month for each of us.

Personally I don’t buy cable or satellite TV, so I get most of my enjoyment from YouTube. So to me $5 per month is nothing, especially if you have something like Spotify which you can cancel and use YouTube Music, which is included in that $5.

If you have no friends and you’re the only one footing the bill, I agree that the pricing is a lot. At that point you just have to deal with the annoying ads.

I hate ads as much as anyone, but my question still remains for anyone who demands on blocking all ads and refusing to pay for premium, how do you expect servers and creators to be paid?

I know Google can technically afford it, but that’s not how businesses are run. You can’t take profits from one department to make up for the losses in another department, and as we know bandwidth is extremely expensive, and Google hosts an unbelievable amount of data, and free, too.

Like I’ve mentioned in the past, I have a bunch of videos uploaded to YouTube to share with family, and they are all private. Therefore Google is paying to store my videos, while making $0 from them, as they are not public and making any ad revenue.

I also know that Google is bad. Corporations suck. All that jazz. I just don’t understand why most of Lemmy users think everything should be free, but when asked about how these things are supposed to get funded, they go silent.

Lemmy itself won’t be around long if users refuse to donate to their instance, and refuse to view ads. Even if someone is hosting an instance in their basement, the cost of internet, replacement drives, maintenance, and electricity all add up.

Bro, it’s so fucking frustrating that I need to be subbed to 5 different Android communities just to get my news.

I can’t sub to just one because I miss news if I do.

My only hope is that Boost brings multi-reddit support to Lemmy, so I can just click on “Android” and get the news from all 5 Android communities.

It’s also the toxic community.

I was called a racist and holocaust denier because I asked someone how they expect YouTube servers to be paid for if you refuse to pay for premium, and don’t want to watch ads.

My comments were downvoted like crazy, and the person who called me a racist holocaust denier was upvoted…

Again, all because I asked a question about how servers should be paid for. What the actual fuck? Reddit is insanely toxic, but Lemmy takes the cake.

But oPeN sOuRce iS sAfe.

Neckbeards fighting about Linux. No girls in sight.

Like Lemmy.
