hehe windows

After ten years of using Debian, I wanted to check that >>windows<< thing (almost never used it before, and I don't want to be completely lost when presented with a windows desktop).

Day the zeroth:
- Let's fioc!
\documents\user> python
python not recognizable batch fuck you
\documents\user> perl
haha no
._.

Day the first:
- Hey guys, I'm new, and I'd like to download a bunch of things from links in a file, like with wget?
- You have to download the JDownloader or something.
- There is no wget for windows?
- Absolutely not.

Day the second:
- Hey, I'd like to substitute some text in a bunch of files, is there a sed for windows?
- I don't know what's sed, but you should try the TextRePlace, the ultimate tool for your text-editing needs for only $19.95!
- *clicks on Lite version*
- ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU DONT WANT TO PAY YOUR HARD-EARNED MONEY FOR A SHITTY SED FRONTEND
- *clicks his way through bullshit*
- HELLO LET ME RESTART THE COMPUTER TO DO SOME ARBITRARY CHANGES TO REGISTERS THAT MIGHT AS WELL BE SIMPLE EDITABLE TEXT FILES BUT AREN'T BECAUSE LETTING PEOPLE TO MESS WITH THE SYSTEM IS DANGEROUS
And of course, I get the fucking HELLO 30 DAYS TRIAL box pup up *sigh*. And of course, they don't believe in POSIX regexen, so I have to use some "simple" substitute.

Day the third:
Them: Hello, there is actually wget for windows, but it's text only, so I wouldn't use it, and as such nobody should use it. It's windows, not DOS anyway. You should stick to JDownload, this isn't Linux ;)

Day the fourth:
I'm back to Debian.

My name is RMS, and I hate every single one of you. All of you are skinny, beardless no-lifes who spend every second of their day using proprietary software. You are everything bad in the GNU/World. honestly, have any of you ever written a free as in freedom software library? I mean, I guess it's fun encumbering your software with patents, but you take turning computers against the user to a whole new level. This is even worse than proprietary drivers.

Don't be so closed source. Just hit me with your best GNU/Shot. I'm pretty much perfect. I created my own text editor and started the GNU project. What do you code all day, other than insidious methods to control the user and "C-x M-c DRM"? I also danced with a laptop, and rewrote the Unix userland (Just finished a shell script; Shit was SO bash). You are all oppressors of computer users who should release their works under the GNU GPL. Thanks for listening.

fuck off and die, microsoft-loving cocksucking freedom-hater

>>43
Back to /socialist activism/, ``please''!

>>44
Therefore I'm staying here.

>>42,44
Then I realized the anti-jew spammer is the only respectable poster.

>>46
>>42,44 isn't the antijew spammer

>>47
I know he isn't.

>>47
That's the point, dense one.
>>48
The one thing you realize is ``the anti-jew ``spammer'''' is actually a coalition of several discrete individuals operating completely individually even if there are spontaneous collusions at times. In fact, even giving in to considering them as a single person is to give in to the subversion of disinformation propegated by the agents here. Observe things a little more critically and discerningly and it will become apparent why it isn't a singleton.

Cygwin really is the only way to make using Windows bearable. MSYS seemed promising for about five minutes, after which I realized it can't run anything but autotools competently. The msysgit fork is especially obnoxious.

I know this is from 2009, but still pretty entertaining thread.

No, it's a simpleton.
