    MS doesn’t blame the user when they get confused by a GUI or become intimidated by a command line interface.

    Umm, yes they do. Look at copilot (as one recent example). The full range of opinion I’ve ever encountered goes from apathy to hatred. (Never heard of anyone having anything positive to say about it, the ‘nicest’ thing being to the effect of ‘I just ignore it, so I don’t care’). And yet, Microsoft’s attitude is that ‘the user is wrong, deal with it’, and this has always been the case in both Windows and Mac OS, while the various OSS DEs attempt to fix real user frustrations.

    Many of the points they make are true for GNOME specifically, but thankfully, there are plenty of other options, and Linux != GNOME.


  • Genuine question: How do we decide when a show is being ‘review bombed’ Vs being actually just disliked? The article doesn’t really give any evidence of this claim. (To be clear, I’m not saying it’s not being, just need a little bit more than ‘I personally enjoy it, therefore the negative reviews must be bad faith’, which seems to be most of what I see).
