What about the obsessive hatred of cars and Windows?
THAT I actually enjoy
Its not neccesarily obsessive, its just those happened to be communiies commoted tonleaving the other site, ao it visually appears to be the mainstream thought.
Linux is one of the larger communties who made the jump (in general tech people are more prone to caring about privacy and control, as tech communities in general are some of the largest here on lemmy)
Heck one of the largest communities is piracy discussion.
My e-bike runs doom perfectly on arch. I don't see the problem.
That's because you don't change the driver.
Not entirely correct.
It's obsessive hatred of car dependency. It's not that surprisingly many of us hate cars, it's that surprisingly many of us hate that you necessarily need a car to do anything outside of the house.

linux users are of course the first to move to something like this, and the /r/fuckcars community is as well now a bit. also let's be honest, fuck cars. and fuck windows.
Hating Windows is not political, it's more of a philosophical issue. One can simply choose to live happier with a system that is configured by him, for him, and doesn't throw ads everywhere.
I'm very tech savvy for an old un, and I'm perfectly happy using Windows; it's easy to configure to do exactly as you want, and maybe it's an EU thing but I'm not seeing any ads
What pisses us off is whenever there's a question about Windows, multiple Linux kids will flood the thread with "tHiS doESn't hAPpEn iN LiNuX"
If someone asked why their headlights weren't working on their 2014 VW Golf, and someone answered, "Well I have a 2009 Ford Focus and this doesn't happen", you'd think they were a fuckin idiot, wouldn't you?

Lemmy June 2023: China good, Ukraine bad, US dog poop
Just avoid Lemmygrad and hexbear. Those are Cancer
But then you miss the Olympic level mental gymnastics
Olympics where everyone participating loses
You know they're doping though. Kinda ruins the fun.

I'm sitting here wondering why I haven't seen any politics in 3 months. Maybe you guys should look into blocking every single thing that bothers you. Why look at it every day?
Over the past few years I've become a blocking fiend. Transphobia? Blocked. Misogyny? Blocked. Vaccine conspiracy? Believe or not, blocked. It's great, I don't have to deal with terrible people and they don't have to deal with me.
I also have the orange guy and the X guy's names filtered out because I'm done seeing them everywhere.
If you want American politics off of your dashboard you would probably get a lot of mileage just from filtering out "Biden", "Trump", and "Desantis". Florida/Texas/California could be good too but you'll block non-political stories.

I'm fine with USA politics, because they got their hands up in everyone's asses so it affects everyone.
What bothers me more is American football. Nobody except them even plays this game but it's all over the news every time there's a major event. Same for baseball.
You're seeing NFL on lemmy? I don't see it at all and wish I did. Where can I find it

Not true! I am currently having an argument over light bulbs!
Are you sure that will be... enlightening?
I can't wait for Lemmy to get big enough that I can unsub from all the big Lemmies. On Reddit I had a bunch of niche communities that were pretty nice and not political. Now all those spammers I avoided have come here too and the Lemmies aren't big enough to avoid them yet.
