“oh my god no… Oh no. No.” 🙂😎

Arch, 150 million page visits, 0 installs.

Debian, 1 page visit, 1 install.

Arch more popular than Debian. 😎

Could you imagine?

I remember mucking about with all these custom PPAs when on Ubuntu. The AUR is a dream compared to that. I even made my own packages because it’s so simple and well-documented.

Arch at around #15 btw. I would have expected it to be a little bit more popular than some of the other ones on this list but I guess I don’t know what the metric is based on here. Downloads?

Sounds good enough for average people. 👌

Do more people use Mint than Ubuntu these days? I’ve been on Arch for a decade now so I don’t know the popularity of distros as well as I used to.

Maintaining a level head in a frightening situation is achieved either through training for it or a traumatic childhood where you end up desensitized to it.

I don’t know about this part, but yeah, it’s probably a common thing to get hysterical as the person who caused the incident.

I remember I was out fishing with my gramps. Went to make a throw out of the boat, and the hook got caught in my gramps’ neck. Pretty scary. He was calm though, so I was calm. But only on the outside. Inside, I was screaming and fearful.

Everything went fine at the emergency room though. I wasn’t there but he came home with a bandaid, basically. 😆

RIP grampa. ❤️ Many and only good memories with you.

Or as I’d like to call it, a virtu-OS-o. Hi, I’ve been dad. Thank you for listening.

Totally awesome result lol

Dude, yes, that’s the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the picture! 🫪

This, btw, is one of the best uses of generative AI I’ve seen to date. 😆 Well played.

Thank goodness they vaccinate against that as standard nowadays. 😌

So glad you listened to your instincts!

Mother grabbed him and ran away still in panic.

The f—? Wow.

Dude.

1. Son has down syndrome ❤️
2. Almost died ❤️
3. You saved him ❤️
4. You survived cancer ❤️

What a mic drop of a post.

Take care, friend!

Coming back to this after several years now because my inbox got inflated beyond my capacity.

Thank you for this explanation, I really appreciate it! 🙏

Yeah I have no sympathy.

I’d rather take a cleaning job or something than work for meta.

I once got an offer to work for one of those large mobile gambling app companies as a developer. Probably big money in there too.

I declined and continued to be out of a job for 9 more months, and I still feel like I did the right thing. I wouldn’t have had any self-respect working there.

Definitely! 😅

I just watched it again this year, after not having seen it for like 15 years so I didn’t remember a thing 😅

Interesting how it’s almost the exact opposite here for me.

I have run into some really bad eggs here, admittedly, mostly lately and with much newer accounts than mine, telling me they’re probably late Reddit emigrants, which is a red flag for me. Some really deranged people are always gonna be on every platform.

But mostly it’s been good vibes here. I hope you have a better experience so that you feel better about the ratio soon. 😅

Take care!

Really? That’s the opposite of my experience. But maybe we have had discussions on different communities about different topics. 😅 I can imagine certain political topics being trained by that, or?

Oh how I am in your boat, buddy. The more clickbaity, the less value I know I’m getting.

A good article shouldn’t need to have an “ending” that can be “spoiled”.

A good article should be interesting to read because of its content, and to find out more “behind” whatever conclusion there might be.

A headline like “How we now understand humans are actually blobs of soft fungus” might pique my interest. You have the conclusion right there, but why?
