minus-squaredon@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·16 hours agoFriend, that which makes a mockery is not the joke, because it creates the joke, which itself likely is not. That which is made a mockery is the joke because it was made such by that which makes the mockery. A thing or person can make of it/themself, but this doesn’t apply to your case. In your case, Windows was made a mockery by Linux, thus Windows is a joke. Also if you knew this was going to be misread, you could’ve edited your comment at any time to accurately reflect your meaning.
