@nixCraft Strictly speaking, it's GNU/Linux, but it's not important. Other major OSes that use the Linux kernel such as Android and Chrome OS don't even have 'Linux' in their names, so the scope for confusion by omitting the GNU part in the name is small.

@nixCraft
I see this as depending on need specificity. Linux in casual conversation, but GNU/Linux when needing to differentiate with a non-GNU distro. I do think it is formally and properly GNU/Linux but then I don't usually speak formally and properly!

@nixCraft

@nixCraft That makes me think that the code was going to fall down anyway, and that small commit was the straw which broke the camel's back. So even if that small commit wasn't performed, the senior developers were going to do a small commit, and *that* would have broken the whole thing, too.

@nixCraft 🤣

^^^ This is the closest devs and IT folks get to spend their money, like how some folks spend on booze, hookers and gambling. The only difference is you probably have better teeth and no STDs. Lmao.

See, I'm not making up this shit. I registered these many moons ago, & now I'm paying renewal tax without making in $$$'s 😭😭😭 I even have a half-backed app written in web2py in 1.9. I'm pretty sure it won't work now because web2py is in version 2.21.1 these days. 😭😭😭

@nixCraft i would be scared of accidentally escaping, to my death, if i was on that mission

@nixCraft it's always a pleasant surprise, isn't it?

When it not only runs, but the compiler doesn't spit out any warnings, then I briefly feel almost invincible.

@nixCraft Especially point 5.

@nixCraft beautiful ❤️

@nixCraft heartwarming story

@nixCraft Thanks for sharing. Fascinating

@nixCraft

I complain about other operating systems, but I don’t like Linux either.

@nixCraft por qué no los dos?

@nixCraft Non-Linux users don’t believe me when I tell them that I genuinely enjoy using my computer. I think people are accustomed to their OS mostly being a barrier.

@nixCraft the right formats for the right job 🌐

@nixCraft just remember bmp

@nixCraft I think it should be a bikeshed

@nixCraft A standup of developers?

@nixCraft A group of musicians is called chaotic noise.

@nixCraft I'd argue that both use cases are gaming; compiling the Linux kernel is just a not-very-fun text adventure.

@nixCraft *builds high end workstation level hardware for running nixos-unstable-small*

@nixCraft Gus is using way too many modules

@nixCraft +1 😆

I love ghost stories.

cant get cuter than that.

@nixCraft that’s adorable

@nixCraft AHAHAHAHAHA!!!

@nixCraft @vbernat I don't believe this

@nixCraft what about ntfy.sh?

@nixCraft I just use ntfy. YMMV.

@nixCraft @dodavies I think I'll use this message for our system.
