I admit defeat.

I can run any software designed for Linux or Windows. Period.

If a package doesn’t function, it’s because the developers arbitrarily decided to disable it for capitalist reasons. Not because it won’t work.

So the answer to “can Linux run X game made for Windows” is always yes. Always.

Yes.

I can run adobe software in Linux.

I cannot relate in any way. I would tell these people to figure it out themselves and that they’re ignorant and ungrateful. You’re also a very nice person for putting up with that.

How is continuing to use their product (thus being farmed for telemetry and other revenues) defiant in any way?

The reality is you and others are afraid of change. There is no windows-only program I can’t run. Your defiance is futile and you’re the only one suffering, not Microsoft.

Chauvinism is the term you’re seeking. And we all in the West suffer some degree of it.

I’m not “trying to be nice to minority languages”, I’m directly pushing back against the chauvinistic idea that the English Wikipedia is so important that those without it are somehow inferior. There is no “doom spiral”.

As for scientific papers, it’s called a translation. One can write academic literature in one’s native langaue and have it translated for more reach. That isnt the case with Wikipedia which is constantly being edited.

It’s profoundly chauvinistic to think that people who speak other languages don’t have the same depth of literary resource as English-speakers because Wikipedia has fewer users.

Books. They’re called books. Every nation speaking every language has them.

Nerd ass.

You are literally in the meme. You’re the racist liberal.

Please leave and don’t come back.

Most sane .world poster.

Blue maga shit.

I’m a white American man who has read Marxist theory.

And you’re so fucking owned.

Fascist stuff, calling people dogs.

Anyone reading this can tell you’re a chud.

You’re a few replies away from calling me a degenerate or something equally fascist.

Nobody on the left uses the language you do. Doesn’t that concern you? Are you really the good guy?

Calling people dogs and making references to slavery in levity? Yeah, you’re to the right side of political ideologies, you just don’t know it. But that ignorance won’t save you.

Liberals will use 20 words to say nothing.

No, I’m happy to keep inconveniencing you with perspectives that challenge your pitiful indoctrinations.

There’s a lot going on right now in the Westerner’s mind. They oscillate between hatred and fear whenever China is brought up. It’s an existential dread.
