"but but but, I wanna consume stuff for free!! And my mommy won't buy me YouTube premium!"

I believe I know where the entitlement is coming from: Most people here are literal children who never worked or paid for anything in their life. The mental gymnastics going in here to justify consuming a commercial service for free is staggering.

I switched from reddit to lemmy to avoid the tiktok crowd that invaded reddit over the last few years, but it looks like this place has already gone to shit, too.

Sounds like the perfect device for my parents and many many other people I know.

My parents use Linux without knowing it. They pretty much only need the internet browser...

Easy: I don't chose my products based on political alignments of the manufacturer. Do you ask your baker for their political views before buying bread? Do you ask your barber? Why should I suddenly care when it comes to software?

I used https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite with huge success.

Sorry, but you can't know that. A bluescreen is often caused by hardware errors, like faulty RAM modules and so on. In theory this could absolutely be caused by an unstable energy supply that could be the fault of an electrician. I am not saying that this is likely, but we cannot know.

That sounds exhausting. Maybe I am showing my age, but after 15 years as a software developer (now DevOps engineer) I feel absolutely no desire to spend my free time competing against others. Maybe I would've felt different about this back in the days.

That being said, this meme still applies to regular software developers. I know plenty of people who match each of the shown stereotypes.

What is this meme about? "Competition", "Leaderboard", "Waiting for the timer to hit 0:00"? I am so confused.
