EDIT: I’m picking up on some big time virgin energy from all the people in this thread who think girlsmell is a fetish. Girls smell. If you didn’t know that, it’s clear the only women you’ve ever been with were 2D.

PS: If you prefer boysmell that is also very valid, and if you don’t like stinky partners at all I want you to know I stand with the ace community and I’m only meaning to make fun of allos.

    This meme just threatened to undo the last 3 years of daily driving linux, by making me consider going back to windows

    As an engineer who’s worked exclusively with Linux for 25 years this meme makes me want to buy a windows license.

    I really like the fact that the Lemmy community includes a whole swathe of trans folk, I learned some new stuff the safe way and that’s really REALLY valuable to me.

    I also really like the freedom that using Lemmy for social media empowers us with. Freedom of OS, Porn, whatever.

    I can respect almost all kinks, ofc there’s bound to be a couple I don’t understand but that’s not a problem for me, if every participant consented.

    I dislike furry kink, it invokes a feeling of disgust in me. This post alienates me slightly from the Linux community. Not a problem, but it did make me realize I would want to be more careful linking my kinks to my favorite Tools/Software in the future in a global media setting.

    2025 Is my Linux year. Last year I tried as well, but I hardly boot to Linux today. Before the year is over, Windows will OS non grata here. Except on my Surface maybe 🤔

      It is not a kink. It’s a hobby. For the vast majority, at least.

      I wouldn’t worry too much about the furry stuff. People aren’t going to be pushy about it, but you will see Xenia here occasionally. Just consider her like a mascot and all is well :-)

      From what I’ve seen while Linux support is okay for the Surface line, it’s just not there yet to make sense as an “upgrade” power management and wireless still need some work if I recall correctly.

        Oh, very nice, thanks for the heads-up. I might try now! Do you know of any foss app that could replace whiteboard? I don’t like the MS ecosystem, but using the pen in whiteboard is pretty transformative use for me. I could ditch it but I would miss it.

          Definitely not an animal fetish… You’re confusing furries with zoophilia, completely different thing. Most furries I know would bust out the baseball bats if they heard someone in the community was a zoophile

            “definitely not an animal fetish”

            oh so it’s all zoophiles making all the furry porn on sites like furaffinity, not furries? how strange! it would seem that furry communities have, in fact, a disproportionately large amount of zoophiles making pornography that fetishizes animals in their community. Y’all should probably do something about that! After all, it’d be kind of weird to beat it to porn featuring animals instead of porn featuring human beings if you weren’t, yanno, attracted to animals.

            or, y’know, it is actually an animal fetish. But I’m sure you’re totally unbiased and thinking objectively, given your instance. lmfao

              The entire reason for furry porn is that the furries are more human than animal, it’s like werewolves. But you’re out here being a weird puritan shoving your views on sex down everyone else’s throat, so IDK what your goal here is other than yelling at people different from you.

              Find a hobby, my guy.

                really? then I have a wild concept for you, something even more human than furry porn: actual fucking human beings, you brainlet. If you were attracted to humans, you’d beat off to humans. by virtue of choosing to beat off to furry porn, you are clearly attracted to and therefor fetishizing animals. that isn’t “a weird puritanical view”, that’s simply an evident truth to anyone with two brain cells to rub together. But it’s okay, I forgive your stupidity.

                so IDK what your goal here is other than yelling at people different from you.

                I’m supposed to have a goal? that’s news to me. All I did was answer the question that some of us dislike being associated with animal fetishists, in response to someone else asking why a linux user wouldn’t want to be associated with them. At which point you promptly got offended on behalf of all animal fetishists and tried to spin it as being something other than what it is, and I don’t care to indulge your fantasy. If you want to delude yourself, that’s your problem, but nobody else is obligated to play along, least of all me – and if you don’t like it, then find another hobby, my guy, preferably one that isn’t disgusting. c:

                feel free to keep being a salty degen though, too, it is funny to watch.

              You are smb who calls people watching loli porn pedophiles. While I don’t like the content I can differentiate between fiction and reality.

                … yes, because the definition of pedophile is “someone who is sexually attracted to children”. It doesn’t matter if it’s fictional or not, the definition of the word makes no distinction, so why would I?

                also, hey, fun hypothetical while we’re at it! would you let someone who beats it to loli, babysit your children? Because I sure as fuck wouldn’t. Being fictional or not is irrelevant.

    I remember it so clearly man… The morning of October 15 2025, a Wednesday as I recall. People were warned but they didn’t listen. They don’t ever listen.

    I’ll never forget the screaming. Millions of Windows 10 computers just spontaneously exploding all over the place. Women, children and men with beards running down the streets of every city just trying to avoid the thousands of computers being thrown from the tops of buildings. The world was never the same after that. I found an abandoned bus in the chaos so I tried to save as many people as I could. We rode into the night towards the hills. Away from the cities and the looting and chaos.

    Or you know… it just means no updates and we’ll all probably be fine.

      Dude, I would be hesitant to use an OS more than a month after EOL. I hope you realize that your OS no longer receiving security updates is a really, really, really bad thing. People staying on Win10 instead of upgrading to Linux or macOS or downgrading to Win11 is going to be zero day heaven.

    Already dual booting. Haven’t used Linux since 2010 so it’s been a bit of a learning curve. But now I haven’t booted into windows for about 2 months now and it’s been great for gaming.
