minus-squarelow@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoHackers do use Linux, but only Kali Linux. And Tor browser. Windows 10 is more secure because they added security (to stop the hackers). And epic OneDrive login so all your files can sink.

minus-squareLuffy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3arrow-down1·1 month agoYou need to be clear with things like this. I am literally unable to understand sarcasm.

minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoHow did you know that it was supposed to be sarcastic, then? You said they forgot the /s. How were you able to identify sarcasm if you can’t understand it?
minus-squarezarkanian@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 month agoYou can infer sarcasm by context. Some of the best sarcasm has no change in tone; this is called “dry” sarcasm and is common in Britain, for example.
