The funkiest part here is a lot of big tech keeps acting more and more like an abusive partner.
Gaslights you regarding your desires and choices, tries to get you to stop using any other service so you only use theirs, demands increasing amounts of ad views/dollars in exchange for decreasing quality of service, makes it intentionally difficult to leave etc.
So while comparing the choice to not install a new OS on your computer to an abusive relationship is weird, there’s also some parralels that are getting even weirder
That’s not a debatable matter, friend, you already did it. You compared bad software to domestic abuse, which minimizes domestic abuse to the intensity of someone using Windows
Did Lemmy just compare using a computer to domestic abuse… really…
That’s some out of touch bullshit. These are not comparable on any level. I get this is a meme section for Linux, but it’s some out of touch bullshit.

Isn’t Microsoft slowly pushing its fist into your ass?
I’d just like to point out that not only are you minimizing the harm of domestic abuse with this comparison, but you are now doubling down on it.
I am not.
If you are hurt you should get help.

No it doesn’t. If I say I’m melting on a hot day, I’m not trying to minimize the suffering of burn victims. It’s just comparison.
