OK, which one of you is it
(sh.itjust.works)
But not a GNU user smh.
where in jersey was this taken? i want to find this car

That's clever, I like it
I think, I think, this person uses Linux.
They probably use macos
This is the coolest kid in New Jersey.
"Linux femboy? Wha- oh nevermind."
-Me after seeing way too many c/unixsocks posts.
It is a Subaru tho
Same, I think about cute boys too much :3
Oh no the tool isn't working
you cannot see too many c/unixsocks@lemmy.blahaj.zone posts, unless in interferes with ricing distros.
me if I was a top
Just tapping that linuxsy
this is how I feel like I look when I tell people I use fedora
Hey wait a minute... that car has windows on it!
Windows on Linux though. Guy probably has Wine in his cup holder.
Police pulled him over for drunk driving but he insisted that what he had was not wine, but in fact an assembly of protons.
I wonder if they have been a user since 1991. If so that's pretty impressive. Given that would be the same year Linus send his infamous newsgroup email announcing his work to port Minix.
Infamous?
Haha, I guess it should be just famous, huh?
Are you even a Linux user if you don't randomly wonder what operating system the person in front of you in traffic prefers? It's a good thing that this person says "wonder no more."
I actually don't care to be honest.
This is the only way Bill Gates can go to the grocery store unaccosted.
I hope he's gone and cut the telemetry from this car... if not, I'd say poser.
Bold of you to assume a lemmy user would drive
I'll have to get linux stickers for my bike instead. Maybe I should install a hub dynamo and boot a pi zero with my pedal power every time I ride. Linux on my Linux bike.
Most cars already run on Linux
Until recently, I had a Ford Flex.
The only thing I didn't like about it was the proud "powered by Microsoft" emblem (and its implications).
SYNC 4 is QNX, the next gen units like the one in the new Lincoln Nautilis is QNX + Android with some Linux on other ECUs. MS is firmly gone from Ford vehicles.
This is useful information and the depth of your knowledge is impressive. Not that I expect operating system expertise from a car salesperson who has no reason to have any, but my salesperson told me it was still Microsoft. Thank you.
Suddenly I miss the Flex just a tiny, tiny bit less.
There's zero MS in the stack on anything with SYNC4 and newer. Your salesperson is wrong. Even development is largely done on Ubuntu. SYNC 4 has two front ends, one's Qt which has some Panasonic outsourcing baggage, the newer one is web based. The latter is what's in the Mach-e. Since about 2017 all of this has moved in house. Ford hired the whole BlackBerry mobile R&D org in late 2016 - people, offices and everything. It's had an honest-to-god software org since then.
Your Flex probably had the older SYNC iteration that was MS developed. BTW I'm not sure if it was Windows based or whether it was QNX with MS devs creating the software stack on top of it.
Who are you, who are so wise in the ways of ~~science~~ infotainment development?

Ironically, my cars don't run Linux for the same reason my computers do: I'm militant about protecting my property rights and privacy, so I refuse to have any car new enough to have "infotainment" because it's all closed-source and Tivoized. It's effectively hostile, despite the Linux kernel at the bottom of it.
I'll buy a car made after the mid-2000s when I can re-flash the whole thing with non-DRM'd community-supported software, and not a minute before.

Hopefully they use OpenPilot, so Linux drives the car.
Well you can tell they don’t use arch because there’s no humblebrag sticker
