I cannot remember the last time I had a blue screen
I cannot remember the last time I personally experienced racism so it must not be a real problem.
only on lemmy will you see someone compare windows to racism
I encourage you to pay close attention when they start teaching the concept of comparison in 2nd grade.
The point was to shine a light on the fallacy that one person's experience represents the whole. What else were you trying to bring to the conversation except to say, "I think Windows is fine."
Comparing Windows to racism would sound more like, "Windows and racism are similar because.."
I also find it an inaccurate, lazy, played-out "joke" to say, "only people from x would y." That's an unthoughtful way to try and reduce people to your own bias and prejudice. I prefer something like, "only an idiot tries to shit on someone else and group together large swaths of humanity because they don't understand what's being said but they still want to to feel relevant."
tldr
"You have poor reading comprehension."
"I ain't gonna read that."
you're so smart and cool
Didn't Microsoft fire employees who held a vigil for Palestinians?
don't know. but that's neither here nor there. we're talking about computers here.
Yeah a corporation punishing its employees for expressing opinions on ethnic cleansings has no bearing on whether their product can be equated to racism, because software.
Also, remember when the Kinect didn't work on black people?
ok
