Don't talk to me.

portraying people who pretend to be better just because they use a specific distro

How exactly is your setup going to be better

it won't have all the bloat and will reflect who I really am

How the fuck is this satire? It's literally just shaming someone for having different priorities. Like the only attempts at "comedy" here is literally just going for low hanging fruit "I use arch BTW", the entire vegan t-shirt thing, the receding hairline.

If anything, this meme is OP pretending to be better than arch users by setting OOTB experience as a baseline metric for all demographics of Linux users; it's actually worse than the hypothetical 'demographic' it tries to mock.

I went on a trawl on email security and privacy.

It doesn't fucking exist.

Regular mails w/e sure

But I'm never talking to someone via email again.

Fair, although explaining a potential vector for a hypothetical XSS attack and its implications to someone who doesn't know what Javascript is sounds like information overload

witness.

You download a copy of a photo I took to your computer.

I have a website that lets people see the photo, it's a popular website

Except that photo on my website doesn't point to a copy of that photo on one of my computers, it points to the copy on yours.

Millions of people visit my website, and each time they do, they download your copy of my photo.

Uploading that photo to millions of computers across the world fucks up your internet service. You could also switch out my photo for another one, maybe even an offensive one,, but my website would still point visitors to it.

In the original post, this is what a multibillion dollar corporation, a bank, did to a not-for-profit service that keeps a historical record of the internet.

I hinted at the security implications of what happened, but explaining that would make the analogy too complex.

It is a selfish and short view of the world.

Empathy, cognitive, emotional, compassionate, comes more naturally to some individuals than to others.

What you see here is someone who may not understand the situation and its consequences, or has trouble forming a connection with the people impacted by the situation. But the compassion does show, they're reaching out, asking questions, trying to understand.

I don't think that's a sign of a selfish or short-sighted person.

I'm thinking of leaving lemmy, too.

Information is worthless without context, but that's all that content aggregators seem to like.

Community is worthless without connection, anonymous text isn't much to connect over.

All Reddit had going for it was a wealth of diverse experiences for people to draw from. For Lemmy, this is at best a side dish, a sprinkle of gold over a pile of shit.

If you don't get it, it's ok.

the way you follow up the psychopathic sense of humour by trying to gaslight people who think something fucked up is fucked up is almost artful
