We should be like /int/ and /pol/. Let's add OS flags to every post, down to the distro if using linux
>>
>>55275374
I support this idea
>>
Can't we just have a label for your posts that say "faggot"?

This is a great idea, who do we pass this suggestion onto?

>>55275374
Most flags should be spoofed anyways because

>>55275374
this is a very good idea, actually. Someone should make a thread in /qa/ with a poll.

You're just afraid no one will listen to you when they see the little W10 icon

lets do this

Could be fun. Not like serious discussion ever happens anyways.

Someone contact Hiroshima Nagasaki.

Fugg ye do it. Who cares if insecure plebs fake their browser

It would be bad news for discussions. Everyone who's losing an argument would just post OS memes

I wish I can upvote this more than once fàm. XD

>>55275522
Only winkids would get upset because of flags and it'll be pretty easy to tell if they're spoofing their flag.
>>
>>55275522
pretty much this
flags are cancer on the boards they're enabled on
OS flags would be pretty similar (and would end up being routinely spoofed, especially since it's even easier to spoof than your location)

Please, I would love to have something like this
>>
>>55275374
it will be funny for a while (I can already picture all the gay macfags making gay posts) but it will bring the board's quality down to /pol/ and /int/ levels


maybe implement it once every year for about a month or so
>>
>you'll never have a temple os flag
Damn it terry just add networking already
>>
The best thing is, no one will be able to tell you to "Install gentoo" if you have a gentoo flag!
>>
>>55275374
Very good idea. We could use the User Agent string to power the flags.

It also makes blocking autists easier.
>>
>>55275588
It's in public domain, implement it yourself.
>>
>>55275374
Then it would just show how no-one actually uses linux on here

Someone with half a brain make a >>>/qa/ thread already

This. If you know assembly, do this yourself.

Go make the goddamn thread yourself you autist.

Any recognized OS would get their flag.

this

And this board would get even worse.

If you're having "arguments" on a technology board you're already cancer and belittling you can only improve the quality of the board

Nope, this encourages maladjusted /g/ users to further identify themselves by their software, like a gay person whose personality is being gay.

Windows users will spoof a Linux flag to avoid getting mocked and won't be able to talk about windows or games without their cover getting blown. Why weren't OS flags implemented a long time ago?

If it happened I would spoof W10. And /g/ would degenerate into retards hiding Windows posts that are making up half the content of the board.

Certainly enough information in the user agent for OS flags.
Linux should have both Tux and the distro logo though.

Good idea
