the original Linux mascot says nice things too.

    I had to google a bit to find out if Edge is available for Linux.

    It is.

    Truly we are living in the weirdest timeline.

        You‘re not wrong. I left firefox since you can’t say anything critical about firefox without being downvoted to hell even if it is just trying to improve it.

        Wonderful how the people spoiling irl groups also spoil online groups.

          Yeah I see things like that a lot on Lemmy.

          I especially see it a lot around things I have deep interests in that a lot of people have light knowledge on, so it’s probably the Dunning Krueger effect rearing its ugly head :(

          I guess the main way to combat this is to join nicher communities, but that’s not really possible on Lemmy right now because of its small size :/

          That’s one the reasons I left as well.

            I have no idea if it is censorship but the amount of jerks throwing shit at you for saying {insert critical question} is insane. I‘m not talking about „did you know mozilla sells kid slaves?“ idiocy but things like „I don’t like that google is the main financial contributor“ stuff.

              A few days back someone posted this article on the firefox subreddit. It is a well written article with good points, but the hivemind ignored the content of the article and resorted to ad hominems and name calling because the author is a supposed right winger. It would not be surprising if the post was removed by now.

                  You’re just proving my point. I haven’t seen anyone point out anything wrong or misleading from that article. Only name calling and ad hominems. I do not care about the author. Why can’t you just focus on the contents of the article?

                I have posted this exact article there some months ago I believe. Or at least one just like it.

                I totally get your point. Instead of just saying „this is false for x reason“ they go after the people who post this.

                I really hate that.

        Xenia would work at Google developing chromeOS and would be happy Linux finally became mainstream and widely used!!

          Xenia would never develop anything for Google, that would fundamentally go against her as a symbol of privacy & human rights.

    So… Basically just tangentially linux-related. Also, Xenia wasn’t the original mascot. Tux came first, and Xenia was proposed as an alternative, but never took off.

    Much as I’d have enjoyed seeing it, it would have greatly hindered adoption when the general public started finding out about furries in the early 2000s and would have made Linux look like a toy not for serious use.
