    As much as I’m skeptical about the unchecked power of corporations, I feel like Lemmy tech enthusiasts are completely hostile to the more mainstream kind of enthusiasm that actually like a well designed product.

    Like, you can whine about the theoretical problems of a centralized service all you want, but if you’re not syncing with OneDrive (or an alternative, though those are kinda worse) on your Windows computer you’re literally sabotaging yourself. I could go on about other examples, but I’ll limit myself.

    I don’t care if you think Linux is better. For the average person, Linux is incomprehensible. Now don’t get me wrong, I like Linux too! I use Linux for my servers, and it’s a great option to have. But the ideologues who push it to everyone are infuriatingly dumb, and serve only to push people out of the tech community.

    As a whole, this site has too many ideologues, and not enough nuance. It’s like the whole “Reddit atheist” phenomenon but worse: people here are unquestionably critical to an absurd degree, and refuse to accept that there may be alternative viewpoints on what they’re saying.

    And I’m not fond of capitalism either. I just think that the constant negativity is draining.

      I think that Linux is fun and easy to use (depending on distro) and that helps to bring people in to the tech community.

      Unfortunately, I listened to the people telling me it was difficult for a long time.

        This is the major issue. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

        However I agree with the original comment, general people won’t use something that isn’t simple (whether that reputation is fair or not).

      How in the absolute fuck am I sabotaging myself by not using an optional feature? It’s cloud storage bruh, not a big deal.I don’t use one drive at all and my life has been perfectly fine.

        Alright, you do you. But I’m not going to turn it off for my family members who would be pissed if their computer broke and lost their files.

          You can always move the files off one drive to a different location and then turn it off. It’s not a hard problem to solve.

            You missed the point. OneDrive is the solution for my family. Why would they want to turn it off?
