it's time for my favourite game, Windows or Capitalism, where we try to guess whether a statement applies to windows or capitalism
- it's obnoxiously expensive for no reason
- corporate monopolies allow the big companies to stamp out alternatives and present themselves as the only option, driving up prices to ridiculous levels
- you are constantly pressured to spend money. in fact, if you don't have money, you can't participate at all
- advertisements are a fundamental element of the system
- most people who have souls despise it, but remain complacent because "what are the alternatives? this is the way things are"
- the mere mention of the names of alternatives disgusts many people
- the people in charge don't give a shit about you
trick question!! all of these statements apply to windows AND capitalism!!!!!
originally i was just gonna write something like "windows is the capitalism of operating systems" but i decided to expand upon my Genious Thesis and look at me now, nobody dares challenge my intelelct

@lynnesbian My body is ready for another hellthread.
@lynnesbian why are people so eager to judge whether one has aSoul or not?
@Primo i was using soul as a shorthand for "experiences human emotions", i'm not actually religious 
@lynnesbian This is not making it better. Actually, this is making it worse.
@lynnesbian
If they don't experience human emotions what emotions do they experience?
@lynnesbian @arteteco Whoa, now they're alien!
@lynnesbian
Never understood what that means. Like, cat emotions?
@lynnesbian Could this be the year of Socialism on the desktop?
@lynnesbian at first I thought you were talking about windows. Like glass covered wall holes. And I was really confused 🤷🏼♂️
Both are vastly improved when you commit theft/piracy
@lynnesbian this sounds an awful lot like All Software And Infrastructure
AMA about the time my teasm wasn't allowed a cloud-based Active Directory replica and we had to introduce Atlassian Crowd
@level2wizard none of it applies to linux or *BSD or mastodon or many other floss softwares
