Here’s the original article of which this link is a ripoff.

To be clear, I mean people who praise Hitler, get swastika tattoos, blame everything on a Jewish Conspiracy, etc.

You know, Nazis.

Not really. Nazis are scum and deserve to be kicked out.

Fascists lie.

As a reminder, Eich was turfed from Mozilla for joining an anti-LGBT hate campaign (and thus alienating a whole lot of developers, sponsors, and users); and his So Brave browser pushed NFTs and stole money via referral fraud.

Gotta admit, I originally wrote “old farts” and “young shits”, and decided that was too rude.

Federated platforms don’t die to corporate-type enshittification. They die to spam or elitism.

If operators fail to collaborate on keeping spam down, the platform becomes unusable or greatly-diminished due to spam. See Usenet for example — yes, it’s still around, but it’s greatly diminished from the 1990s. New projects and organizations don’t tell participants to subscribe to a Usenet newsgroup for discussion. (Curiously, email mailing-lists have outlived Usenet in this way, at least for technical projects. While email is federated, any given mailing-list is centralized.)

If the technology isn’t developed with an eye to new users’ needs and new use cases, because it’s “good enough” for the existing established users, the platform becomes dated and gets replaced by something trendy and corporate. This is IRC vs. Discord and Slack. IRC has a higher barrier to entry and infamously doesn’t work well on mobile — but it’s good enough for the old farts who care about it, while the young farts move to Discord instead.

If you’re looking for commercial games on Linux, Steam has pretty much solved this with the “Steam Play” compatibility feature, which uses a customized version of WINE to run Windows games. For example, Baldur’s Gate 3 runs perfectly. It should work anywhere Steam does.

Ubuntu on Desktop I can understand.

Not anymore. A whole extra, unneeded, proprietary, locked-in package system. Ads in the default install.

There’s Mint, Pop!, and plenty of other options that actually respect the user.

Remember SOAP? Remember XML-RPC? Remember CORBA?

Those were not very good.

1993 or so, before kernel 1.0. Slackware on floppies, then Debian, then Ubuntu, then Mint, now Pop!_OS.

I got a rather profitable career out of it: went into IT during/after college, then got hired into a big Silicon Valley company, stayed in that area for several years, then quit during COVID.

Nazi furries have been a thing for years. The regular furries don’t like them.

Hotmail and Gmail have “mail” in the name, too.

Then it’s probably just more. Again: your post did not contain enough information for anyone to provide an answer to your question.

Antivirus doesn’t do what it promises. The only general solution for a compromised system is a clean reinstall. (This is true in Windows too.)

A process can change its name. If I wanted to make sneaky malware for Linux, I’d have it call itself more or something innocuous too.

The correct answer is “this is not enough information”. Why should a real more process eat ¼ of a core for any substantial amount of time?

If you log out of websites & delete your cookies on Windows, random browsing may be more inconvenient there.

Fake headline.

That’s the main advantage of parted over fdisk + mkfs, really.
