Feels awfully defensive. And I'm tired of people saying things like "why the negativity?" Just because you don't like what someone says doesn't mean it's negative, but besides that it should be okay to say negative things.
- usrusr 11y agoRight, Ubuntu running autonomous stuff feels kind of like the opposite of "a user". And if watching Netflix on their smart TV makes people Ubuntu users, then having a bank account makes them users of any number of exotic IBM letters-slash-digits operating systems. (though ironically, Netflix is just about the only thing I run on my old Ubuntu laptop, and superior compatibility with that Ubuntu laptop was the primary reason why I switched from the silverlight-only Netflix clone I used before to Netflix, so for me personally, they are very much related)
