People who need painless compatibility --Demonizing gets us less than nowhere

I was just kidding. ๐Ÿ˜ But also there is surely a huge number of people who are simply unaware of any alternatives.

It's almost like those people aren't encouraged to seek out alternatives...like all their peers just called them idiots or something

[-] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

It was a joke.

But yes, exactly. The reason is most definitely that nobody tells them there are alternatives. People think Windows "is the computer". Much like they can't separate the monitor from "the computer". And these things are hard, even though they are obvious to us who know.

Hmm? That's not how what works? I was really just making a poor joke there.
