Sheeples

Can’t remember the last time we visited Locutus. He’s one of a dying breed of subtle purveyors of Linux insanity. His by-line — “I get paid to support Windows, I use Linux to get work done” — says it all.

Are you an “average person”? Are you a “sheeple”? Are you an “end (L)user”? Are you “dumb”? Are you “patroniz[ed]”? Well, Locutus has the answer for you, and it’s obvious:

“I think that, as with everything, it starts with education.”

Stalin would have called it being a loyal Soviet citizen … and so on (neatly skipping Godwin). Orwell would have called it “indoctrination.”

According to this under-educated sysadmin cretin, the one thing that Linux lacks is an audience.

Which is probably true. But it’s not because the alternatives are faulty operating systems. It’s because Locutus and his like treat potential customers like worthless and radioactive scum, and don’t recognise the blatantly obvious inadequacies in their supposed alternative.
