You can tell how old an image is by counting the jpg artifact rings. This one is from 2005 by my estimates.
For one, it's got Steve Jobs in it, and he's been dead since 2011.
If I were to make the same meme today, I would still use him, so I'm not sure this dating method holds any water.
I think that's the right choice. If i need to imagine "apple boss" the face of jobs appear in my mind. The current one is Tim Cook, right? I'm sure I'd recognize him if I saw his picture, but at the miment I'm not able to picture him.
And it is stil, accurate (except S. Jobs death). Fuck we do not evolve. :(
I feel the Linux - Linux fanboy is very wrong these days. It does not have a monitor at 22 degrees
If you show me a windows fanboy I'll show you a bridge for sale.
Yea I don't really know anyome who is a fanboy of Windows most ppl just stick with it cause its the default for many things
I disagree. They might not go out of their way to recommend windows but when any other alternative is mentioned they 100% start arguing.
I've seen people on r/programming complain that they hated linux and open source cause it gave them a way to use a feature in vlc that wasn't there natively. The other day I saw someone complaining that linux had window rules.
That small niche that you are mentioning, I agree with you. But the people who for example turn down Linux because it is difficult, most of the times they would be right.
I know I will get downvoted but bear with me. To the average Andy who has grown up using Windows XP and then 7 and then 10/11, never having to open up a terminal, not dealing with software repositories and just downloading an exe from the web, and just having the most compatible operating system in pretty much any scenario, is more important to them, than the privacy and security snd freedom that you get with Linux, which as they say, with great power, comes great responsibility (and headaches). Yes, I know there's Linux Mint, but for example something like my new laptops microphone not working with ANY distro because the kernel does not support it yet, that is a Linux issue that is a huge pain in the ass even for an experienced Linux user, let alone a fresh user who has no idea what is going on.
I still think we should push Linux as much as we can because as the market share increases support for Linux will also grow making it a more n more viable option to switch to, but generally Windows users turning down Linux DO have very valid arguments for not wanting to use Linux.
As a long time Linux user, I had a humbling experience when I started using OpenBSD and had to look up all the details like "what is /dev/rsd1c?" or "how do I connect to wifi automatically?" It's not hard, and it's right there in the manpages, but it was a little overwhelming figuring out everything. And then I was already used to the unix-like terminology, I can only imagine coming from windows.
Your can conjure them up quite easily.
It was a default for so long that people just got used to the feel of it and its "ecosystem" if you can call it that.
I use Win at home and at work as my main desktop, because of familiarity, the apps I got used to and because I just don't feel comfortable with any Linux UI. I get annoyed when the Win UI gets even slightly changed between OS versions, so imagine how it would be for me just switching to Linux. I have a dual boot, but the Linux partitions always gather dust no matter the distro.
But I wouldn't touch a Windows server. I'm apt with the Linux on work servers, my home server, RaspberryPi and routers. It feeels like having swiss army knives and I feel at home in a command line.
This doesn't make me a fanboy, but I do get raised eyebrows from co-workers.
I'll bite. Where's my bridge? It better be cheap and run windows xp embedded
There’s a lot out there if you know where to look.
Plenty in the windows support forums. Look for the guy who’s not an MS employee still there helping people. Don’t make too much fun, they’re the only ones who’re any good and sorting out issues…
Wait... can a Mac run multiple monitors? It must be able to, but the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor. Clean desks and a minimalist aesthetic, but never multiple monitors.
the only pictures I see Mac people posting of their desktops only ever have a single monitor
That's because their monitors cost $2k
They are computers. So yes.
The M1 macbooks only support 1 external monitor natively lmao
There are issues with Macs and multiple monitors, but one thing they do great is that they can easily support multiple monitors with different dpi settings and refresh rates (including variable refresh rates), which turns into a big pain in the ass to get right in Linux.
Macs are used in a lot of "creative" industries and professionals tend to benefit from multiple monitors. Every editor I've known cuts on a Mac with at least two monitors.
Well, at last Microsoft is micro and soft. Still behaving inappropriately.
I'm a Windows user and have bwen for many many years. I recently started learning Linux so I can hopefully one day be competent enough to justify never having to buy Microsoft ^TM branded lube again.
My partner, and much of my friend group, are a Mac users.
I am a programmer so I know many many Linux people.
It is Shocking how accurate this meme is LOL
I too stare at htop for hours
At the risk of being unpopular, I have a home with a decently-powered Mac desktop (I used to work as a video editor), a Linux notebook for my personal use, a Windows notebook as required for my daughter's online school and even a Chromebook for my wife's use because it was all she felt she needed.
This meme is accurate in some ways, but the biggest way in which it's accurate is that people judge others for the OS they choose as if it is some sort of character flaw if they choose the 'wrong' one.
Running all of these OSes in one home, I've been able to see the advantages and disadvantages of each and I can't really say any of them would be the right one for everyone, so I'm actually glad there's a range of options. Even if those options can be overpriced or bloated or difficult.
How'd they get a picture of my terminal
I'm a Linux user and I usually see Linux the way that it is depicted for the Windows user. The terminal is beautiful and my favorite interface for interacting with computers.
I have yet to meet one person that actively likes Windows, it's always that they use it because it's the only thing they know
You guys have Stockholm syndrome
I'm a linux fanboy and I bought a macbook... So where do I sit on this chart?
Middle right
Other Linux users will see you as the "Mac as seen by Linux fanboys" panel haha
Do you run MacOS on it? Do modern Macs even allow other OSes any more?
Kind of? There is one singular Linux distribution designed to work on macs, and it’s still missing a lot of features the last time I checked
Staring at a mouse, wondering how you do things with one button.
Funny enough, all of these are true in some way
I don’t see Linux as surreal, just as the default computing experience
This is accurate
Hint: :q!
