Why don't we have flags like on Jow Forums but then with what kind of OS and/or browser you're using by checking your useragent. What do you think?

I would love the ability to block phone posters. Please do this.
This + windowkidz
This. We need a templeos flag too
R A R E
Reply so hiro will change it
what about this
because then you get retarded meme personalities, it's basically just a name. if you want a name put one in the name field. except you won't because people would call you a faggot, and rightfully so. and if everyone used meme flags, everyone would be a faggot
people who are just in it for the memes would use it. meanwhile us genuine temple hobbyists would be drowned out in the noise of 12 year olds who think terry is le so epic
explain further
whats the difference between linux and gentoo?
Jow Forums EXPLAIN'D.
>no Unices
>no BeOS/Haiku
>legacy Winshit but no legacy Mac OS versions, at least to distinguish PPC from Intel
POO IN LOO
That would be pretty cool. Although it shouldnt be based on distro type to save space. For example all Linux distros would be Linux, all BSD distros would be BSD, and so on and so forth.
>it shouldnt be based on distro type to save space
you're retarded

There are like 3,000 different distros my man. I don't think Jow Forums mods would give enough of a shit to make flags for them all.
let's see what Jow Forums use
1. gentoo
2. arch
3. debian
4. ubuntu
5. mint
6. nixos
7. slackware
you're right, it's around 3,000,000,000 distros
fedora manjaro kubuntu lubuntu ubuntu mate theres alot more dude
>kubuntu, lubuntu, ubuntu mate
all fo these are Ubuntu distro user...
>fedora
fair enough, that makes 8
you've missed a few with active threads on Jow Forums right now
Please don't do this btw, we have enough namefaggotry already, we don't need to become even more phpBB.
10 major ones then, hipster-tier minority OS's can just be branded as a single one.
There should be
>ubuntu (would also apply to forks)
>debian
>gantoo
>fedora
>redhat/centos
>arg leenog
>windows 10 for the good goys
>windows 8.1 for the hipsters
>windows 7 for the morons
>windows xp for the retards/pajeets
>windows 95-98 for the madmen
>macshit
>android
>iphone
>clover
>a linux(other) for the distro hipsters
>an OS-(other)for the OS hipsters
I think that should cover it
pls make it happen
>lumps mint in with ubuntu as it's a fork
>doesnt lump ubuntu in with debian
may as well divide by package manager.
ubongo is vastly different than debian in a ton of fucking ways, mint is just ubuntu with cinnamon and some differently maintained packages.
but add mint if it gets you so riled up, it is pretty much the most popular distro still
opensuse isn't a hipster-tier OS
OWO what's this? No bsd flag
one is not a meme
Linux:
>Debian
>Ubuntu + flavors
>elementary OS
>Linux Mint
>Fedora
>CentOS
>OpenSuse
>Arch
>Antergos
>Manjaro
>Gentoo
>Clover OS
>Slackware
>Void
Windows:
>10
>8.1
>8
>7
>Vista
>XP
macOS:
>version number from 10.6 to 10.13
Phones:
>Android
>Clover
>iOS
Other:
>Temple OS
>unlisted Linux distros have a gnu or penguin icon
>older macOS versions have an apple logo
>older Windows versions have microsoft logo
>other Android clients have an android logo
this but merge Antergos and Arch just to piss off Archfags who get smug at Antergosfags
This. Restrict namefagging to op only. Implement a block for Windows and Mac useragent and a daily technologie related question to solve bevor Posting. This would be the only way to keep tech illiterates and Pollack's out but Hiro will never do this because he is a greedy data harvesting cunt. Anime posting and elitism/hostility isn't enough anymore to keep the plebs out.
Do it, Hiro!
Also make apple rainbow colored.
>his useragent isn't a bunch of random shit
FreeBSD
OpenBSD
DragonFlyBSD
Windows server flavors
Also, I genuinely hope 90% of Jow Forums spoofs their agent
>apple rainbow colored
Should be fun, it would still offer anonymity but also more lulz and bullying. Please do this Hiro, even if it is just an experiment.
Manjaro is arch.
How the hell would you figure out what distro someone uses? User agent only says "Linux", not what specific distro you're on. You'd need some severe botnet to figure that out.
Flags is a bad idea for Jow Forums.
But per-thread IDs is actually a pretty good idea for Jow Forums.
Gentoo can be BSD
Why? User agents can be easily spoofed anyway, it's just a fun little gimmick. Are you afraid because your OS isn't Jow Forums approved?
>User agent only says "Linux", not what specific distro
Nope, not true.
See here what your useragent is:
whatismybrowser.com
useragent is really easily spoofable, i could make even targeted shitposts cuz its easier than finding a proxy. I think maybe having to post a screenshot or something as a proof could be fun though
what if i'm posting from mac os 8
>But per-thread IDs is actually a pretty good idea for Jow Forums.
This.
I'm sick of the relentless samefagging on this board.
Void Linux.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
>no gentoo/arch/debian
S on russian 2 ch uses UA to check for OS.
Retarded shit.
Also, most Linux distribution don't differentiate themselves in the UA. I know only about Ubuntu and arch.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
no Manjaro :-(, I think Ubuntu does have its own useragent, not sure though. Ubuntu kids, check it out.
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 7.0; Moto G (4) Build/NPJS25.93-14-15) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/66.0.3359.126 Mobile Safari/537.36
wut? O_o, even the phone brand is in there.
>Retarded shit.
Is it fun retarded shit though?
Yes, is fun.
never have masked a user agent in your life, have you
I have
It already exists on 2ch
lmao Gentoo and just "Linux" and then different versions of Windowd, trash
>Windows and Mac have zero replies
I want this
that idea is shit and you should feel like shit
What's yours then? Because obviously nobody else in the world has their distro listed in the user agent.
It doesn't.
Let's use OS-tans instead of normal flags.
It would make Jow Forums look even more autistic than usual.
I wouldn't mind this.
>no cute 7-tan
put it in le garbage
Only if we ban people being used by Windows and phoneposters. Redirect them to /v/ and /b/ respectively.
>It doesn't.
It does
>why don't we make EVERY thread an operating system war thread
good idea retard
OP's idea is shit but at the same time this might make it good
networking is haram
Maybe on Ubuntu GNOME, but neither Ubuntu with Xfce/KDE/MATE nor Ubuntu forks have any special user agent.
But how would a TempleOS user post?
Just add parabola, trisquel, void, manjaro and fedora, As well as a generic Linux tag.
>There are like 3,000 different distros
Then take the 10/20 most popular and give them flags and set a default flag for the rest, that covers probably 95% of Linux people here.
Networking is possible on Temple OS just not by default
>implying phone posters know how to mask user agents
You can solve the captcha on temple OS so what's the point?
Post it in /q/ and irc if you are serious
Just do what *fetch do
I like this idea, but just make it simple like Linux/BSD, Mac, Windows, Phone. I would love to filter every phoneposter and macfag in one click.
this + parabola + hyperbola + guixSD for full meme
Nice idea if you can also hide posts from windtards and macfaggots
So basically Reddit's Flair feature?
Just spoof your UA, or get a Jow Forums pass :^)
exactly, if this is a feature you want then just go to reddit like the basedboy you are
You're forgetting a generic BSD.
Other than that seems good. Don't know why you'd distinguish between clover and Android though
Maybe I should.
>not filtering Windows users
pleb
no
it depends on what's visible in the useragent
so can debian and arch
Temple doesn't have network support, retard.
I like it.
Also, I'm under the assumption this would be user selectable only.
>not filtering Windows users
>pleb
I have no reason to hate Windows users by default (just the ones who jump into linux threads to talk shit), most are just normal guys that don't care as much about privacy and don't want to jump through the hoops that Wine makes you. Mac users are 100% fags though, and Phoneposters are 100% retards.
I'm gonna filter all annoying linux users and freetards, the board is gonna be finally how I want it to be.
>linux
I'D LIKE TO INJECT FOR A SECOND
I like it. What about ReactOS? Also doesn't ChromeOS have it's own user agent? you'd need a flag for it too.
Updated
this would be good
wangblows faggots could finally be filtered out :^)
Where's the point in having a gentoo/arch/mint flag when all Linux distros only have the "Linux x86" string?
Great idea OP, however...
It would take a lot of work, and useragent mutability would kinda spoil it.
if dubs, everyone is forced to use gentoo flag
>OS X
>10.6-10.13
Most of my OS X installs are none of the above
meh, newfags and lazy tards aren't gonna spoof their ua
this
Aren't OS-tan for Windows only?
Any OS-tan for Linux, MacOS, etc?
