  • While the comic combined with the text has a bit of an edgy vibe, I agree with the overall message. Advertising was just decided upon to be an acceptable way to force people to look at whatever. And no, it’s not always an option to “just don’t look at it if you don’t like it”. I fucking hate those advertising TVs that get set up all over my city, they grab your attention even more than regular billboards.





  • What hardcore Linux users don’t seem to really get is this: The vast majority of people who need to use computers simply do not care about anything you just said. They absolutely don’t. They simply want to press a button to boot the device, use the apps they need and maybe even play a game and that’s it. That is what Windows does for them.

    The average user is overwhelmed when the desktop icons have been moved.

    I love Linux and it is on a great way to being used by a wider audience and it’s great it provides the freedom it does. But it still has its quirks that makes it too hard to use for 95% of users.



  • No, you are not elaborating on your better alternatives. We KNOW that democracy is nort perfect. We are just looking for a solution that is doable in todays world. So now you come in and claim to somehow have a better way to do it. But when questioned, your answers are very vague, we have to pull all the info out of your nose. This tells me you probably don’t have any better solutions or just some vague idea of one and no real world application for it.

    Of course I would try to work it out. But you just assume this always happens, but what if it DOESN’T?
