What's a "FOCK"?

No its fsck
Chicken talk! Fock-fock-fock-fock-AAHF
No, not FOCK, I said FACK.
Its F-word. Just censored "U" letter.
- Did you know that you’re allowed to write all the letters in the word F-U-C-K on the internet?
- Bro it's fucked up that's you think we can't say fuck on here which we abso-fucking-loutely can

I have been a Linux user since 1995. Anyone that thinks that Linux is invulnerable is just silly.

And has bad memory, regreSSHion wasn’t even half a year ago
- That's the one that avoided any enterprise SSHd, right?
nothing is invulrenable. but good luck finding a vulrenability on openSUSE for example. Almost impossible. But just almost
It's security through small market share. There's just not enough major organizations using Linux as a default to warrant large numbers of all manor of gray or black hats to dig deep into finding the exploits.
- There is an entire Linux server segment - exploiting Linux can be insanely profitable
- You do know that almost the entire Internet runs on linux? Even Microsoft isn't running very many windows servers. In my humble opinion, if you are running a server on Windows, you are batshit crazy.
- There's more money flowing through linux systems than you can even imagine. It's an incredibly lucrative target that runs approx 85-90% of all internet service servers.
- Much of the security that comes with most linux distros is due to how software is installed. On windows, you typically install random .exe files online and have to put your trust in whoever provided you with the installer. On linux, it's much more common to use a package manager to install packages, which means you are putting your trust in the package repositories instead, which can be policed by the maintainers who can decline to add suspicious packages.

Why do people bother censoring them to begin with? I was regularly saying fuck by the sixth grade. I would have been saying it sooner if I wasn't scared of my parents.
- Probably due to cross-posting to censoring shit-platforms like TikTok.
- Good story, but I don't give a fuck

This post shows, how much you "don't care".

All Linux people on Lemmy seem to talk about is Windows. It's exhausting.
- Probably because most of us suffered for ten years or more with windows and we're traumatized by it
- see also: teenage athiests
On the desktop, Windows is the majority. This means that many people around us who we care about (friends, family) are going to be using Windows and receiving the problems associated with it. That's why we (linux users) care when Windows goes to shit.

i know it says fuck in there. its pretty obvious.

This is a linux meme. Clearly it says fsck.
- Confirmed
I've been told if you see a censored meme it's probably because someone took it from facebook.

I dunno what's going on with the moderation over there as I deleted my account nearly a decade ago, back when getting full gore popping up in your feed wasn't uncommon...
FOCK!
- That's the sound a tennis ball makes.

For anyone who really can't leave Windows, you may find the less-bloated LTSC and activation here: https://massgrave.dev/

Can you actually pirate Windows LTSC?

Is there any good guide?
- It seems you can download the ISO directly from Microsoft, or from that site, and use their script to activate it.
  I haven't had the opportunity to test it yet, but seems "legit" to me.
- The guide is on the site they linked. It works, I did it a few times. They have to mirror the LTSC installation files unfortunately, but there's a guide on how to verify they're genuine if you don't trust them.
- i'm the pirate of the biggest seas but even i wouldn't pirate my os. if im gonna dual-boot, i will buy win10 2019 ltsc. it is survivable, key resellérs have ok deals
Yeah I could use ltsc if I rlly needed windows for something, but it doesn't have Microsoft store and stuff but it's fine tho.
- doesn’t have Microsoft store
  
  That is not a drawback.
- You can re-enable microsoft store etc with a single line of powershell if you really need.

btw if windows 10 dies, windows 11 will be forced on windows users, which is like 10000x times worse (personal experience). This is why i want to switch to linux when i get a decent computer (no, that linux distro i choose can't be further from the "linux will run on everything" quote)

win11 is a major improvement tbh.
process scheduling doesnt suck as much as it used to and bluetooth has AAC support (win10 only has sbc which sounds bad)
defender is much harder to get rid of though (but you can still get rid of almost all online features and telemetry including ms accounts using group policies as long as you have Enterprise or a LTS version)
- privacy is even more nonexistent, everything is cluttered and the gui is very inconsistent. And for me, bluetooth usually doesn't work at all after updating for win11
- For me it is way less pain to set up and work using linux than…, …that…
I've used windows 11 once on a mini PC just because that is what was preinstalled and I needed to make sure everything worked. My first impressions of the core UI was actually kinda good except it's windows, so you know literally none of the apps are going to follow the same design, so it really does not matter. I promptly put OPNsense on the miniPC as soon as I saw the 2 NICs show up in device manager.
- the ui is very inconsistent on windows. You can have a time travel when browsing through the settings
Use bazzite when you do. It's awesome
- better than Garuda? Bazzite is based on Fedora. I used fedora, and hated it. Basically no selection between packages, it only has a very few amount

The linux kernel contains more profanity than this meme…

This is true on one hand, but on the other hand, the businesses still using Ubuntu 10.04 with its original kernel would like a word.

You care so little that you made a meme about it, and have now reposted a slightly edited version of it roughly a day later.

fsck

fixed release distros also have a lot of vulrenabilities

I run NT, btw.
- Lucky bastard. Try running Windows CE 2.11 and you'll truly know how it feels to be caged.

Ooh, I do care! I'll get one more ext4 drive in my system!

Billions got damaged, huh? That sounds serious.

Fuck

I got caught in the cupspocalypse 3 weeks ago, because there is an unannounced dns vulnerability, do I get to bad mouth the penguin?

Is it because the linux users are clueless plebs just throwing out fancy words they dont understand?

Like ombudsman? That can't be a real position!
