        OP posted this same fake image a month ago on another instance and their goal was simply reply to comments with a “trans” soyjak hanging their selves.

          Correction: it’s a hanging troonjak with microsoft logo

        Didn’t even know avi is still used. Haven’t seen one in ages

        Gatekeeping video codecs, that’s some next-level neckbeardery right there.

          Gatekeeping

          How is it gatekeeping to call out a codec that (rightfully so) isn’t being used anymore?

    why is no one talking about it?

    Because it’s not fucking real.

    Source for picture? I thought pluton wasn’t widely rolled out yet and was still experimental.

    edit: apparently after looking around its fake so the guy can post unrelated soyjak pictures

        “bot” doesn’t necessarily mean a literal computer program, people can be bots too. Same idea behind using “NPC” as an insult

    If I recall, it was just an edit of the smartscreen message, which has an option to continue using the software.

    This definitely isn’t recent, because this same picture popped up on reddit months ago.

    So how do you get around it? If the only answer is keep running my windows 7 machine or install Linux, I’m going to be disappointed

      From the other comments I gather this is fake, but I’ve had similar dialogues presented to me for running untrusted .exe files. The “More info” link gives you the option to run anyways.

        TBF, that’s a different story there. Firefox does the same with unsecured connections. That warning is basically there for all the non IT people who have bonuses what a signature is and run any .candycrush.exe file they see

      If you think that linux is a disappointment compared to using windows, I think you’re too far gone.

        Comments like this are why people don’t try Linux.

          No, people don’t try because they’re intellectually lazy and change takes effort. But there is nothing good left with new versions of windows so there is no excuse anymore.

        If you think Linux competes on the average user desktop you’re too far gone. I say this as someone who runs Linux at home and works every day with Linux

          Competes in which way? User share, or actual functionality?

          For me, there are only two reasons why a flavor of Linux isn’t my daily driver OS (but have it as dual boot on most of my “PCs”) - Excel and AutoCAD/Revit. That and maybe some special kinds of system disk FDE that I’m not sure Veracrypt can do on Linux.

            My reasoning is I now have a non tech career and I’m fucking tired after work 6 days a week. I don’t really care about a few bucks, I just want it to be easy. But I’m also not cool with the state of windows now, and still have enough tech knowledge to be worried about the privacy issues that come with newer versions of windows. That being said, I do not have the motivation, energy or time required to learn to code enough to run Linux.

        Instead of trying to provide resources on learning how to use Linux, it’s far better to insult people who don’t already know how.

        Why does Linux have such a small desktop share again?
