I don’t know what you say, but as a debian omnivore most people don’t notice either.
You know, because the computer just works, looks a little different, kinda like a mac on top, but free, and powerful and stable under the hood.
See I value practicality and reliability, and also ease of use.
This applies to meals as well.
Sure I’ll go vegan if I can, get free range stuff when I can afford it, but I’m not made of money and infinite free time, as one would have to be to be a morally consistent vegan.
Behold: I’m the archvegan!
I want that on a t-shirt! And I’m definitely going to steal it for my slack tagline.
So Arch first?
Got it!
I’m currently using Gentoo. That means I should also grow my own food…
Tell them your an Archvegan. That sounds cool.
Is that higher or lower than Level 5 veganism?
Oh no… The Arch Vegan is here! Run!
I don’t volunteer either piece of information, but sooner or later someone is going to overhear me ordering vegan food or see me opening my lunch and the dreaded conversation will have to happen. I wish people would just let me make my own food choices in private without making a big thing about it.
But they feel attacked. They want to continue living in blissful ignorance of how animals are treated or how bad it is for the environment. Same as windows users who don’t want to be reminded what corporate cucks they are. Some even go so far as to become utter bootlickers (see also Elon Musk fanboys)
Yeah, the stereotype drives me nuts. Like, yes, food is a big part of day-to-day life and sometimes I need to explain when asked why I’m not eating if there’s nothing for me at, say, a company event. I try to avoid it as much as possible and just say I’m not hungry.
What’s the arch user equivalent of getting asked if a fish is an animal?
What’s the vegan equivalent of getting asked if you use PC or Mac?
Vegan Arch user btw
Also people who use pc as a synonyme for windows. fuck those guys and guydedts.
PS. Macs are also PCs as PC describes the hardware and the usecase unrelated to the producer and the installed os.
Language changes over time and words don’t mean the same thing forever. The entire purpose of language is to communicate. So if you have a Mac and say you are a PC user, you are failing to use language well. Apple themselves helped facilitate that change. It can be less consistent with Linux on a PC, I agree. But language is an evolving meme (as per the original definition of meme, not the cat photos). And to not acknowledge that is like being a young earth creationist with language.
Do you also argue that anyone who is happy is part of the LGBT community?
There’s a bit more subtlety to it than that. The PC architecture that dominates today is a direct descendant of the 1981 IBM Personal Computer, which was made to run DOS and later Wondows. The cultural association makes sense in that context.
I know it’s a completely normal typo that anyone could make, but “Wondows” has just made me a laugh for a good few seconds.
That’s what I get for not using autocorrect 😆
Nothing, someone will make this joke before they ever get a chance.
