I know it's just a meme, but god damn I hate this format. Some men cry while watching the titanic, some (many) women use *nix.
agree wholeheartedly
A small alteration would be to swap one of the female heads up top with a male, and go "Man, Chad guy never cries about anything. Is he even human?" You can even swap out Chad with chadette, depending on context.
Just a guess.
In the same vein, comments like "I'm a big bearded man but I cried...". As if they need to reaffirm their masculinity when they speak about their feelings in case we suddenly think they turned into a unicorn or something.
man I WISH I spontaneously turned into a unicorn every time I shed a tear
Also, crying is not the only way to be sad. Some people regardless of gender just don't cry easily when sad, doesn't mean they're not sad. Some people regardless of gender may not want to cry in front of other people for a movie. Or maybe they've already seen the movie alone and sobbed all day the first time but know what to expect the second time. It's frankly none of your business to judge how other people react to sad things and you certainly do not have enough evidence just looking at them to declare they "have no feelings," unless their ears are pointy and were the first to develop Warp Drive.
At home too?
They just move to a server farm upstate!
Is that the one my elderly colleague started working at? Still a bit pissed he never said goodbye.
Is the server named Boxer?
A State Farm if you will
Honestly by the time I decide to retire an old machine, itβs because Iβve developed so much animosity towards it that Iβm much more likely to have an attitude of βgood riddanceβ than βfarewell old friendβ.
I still have the very first computer that I ever built, all the way back in 2001. I never had anything but fond feelings about that machine.

The year Titanic came out, I finally decided to see what the fuss was about in it's 18th week playing (a new record!) in our local theater. I took my seat, and there were a couple of teenage girls a few seats over from mine. They started sobbing during the opening credits. I'm fairly certain they'd seen the movie already. Probably more than once.
You Linux people never fail to make me laugh. Bless Lemmy.
I don't know why, but the thought of some 38 year old American farmer who doesn't know computers going "you linux people" is very sweet sounding to me.
And the sysadmin said "well done, good and faithful servant."
The Irony of the Unix wars is that Unix lost.
Linux didnβt have any of the untouchable legal issues that Unix had. Linux was built from the ground up without access to Unix source code, that was entirely why it was written.
And now we have Linux, the most used kernel on the face of this earth. Used in almost every server. All android devices. Chrome books. The Steam deck. Itβs included on every copy of Windows.
Linux won the Unix wars. And itβs all the fault of the very creator of Unix. AT&T, in their greed, killed the creation they sought to profit from.
Double Ironic.
Depends. What's the uptime on that server? Are we talking years? Thatd be worth to "pour one out for da homies".
Holy shit, I watched that video a week ago. So sad :'(
I watched the video. It was truly beautiful.
I think I would have cried a little if I were in his place.
Poll time! If you HAD to switch from Linux to BSD, which one are you choosing?
FreeBSD unless I'm doing something that's need a fairly secure system, in which case OpenBSD disconnected from the Internet with my private mirror for security patches.
TL;DR Maybe FreeBSD?
Back in the day, I was very interested in (the now extinct) PC-BSD, but it really didn't like the unusual HDD setup I had (Third IDE channel maybe? The details are fuzzy now.)
Never got to the stage of trying gaming on it, but I think I might have been planning to dual boot?
Anyway, it must have been a while ago because that was my previous PC, which I donated to a relative the better part of a decade ago.
So, given that it was a FreeBSD, I guess that's what I'd be looking into, but I can't say I know enough right now.
i am going to get a laptop with windows 11 to avoid that question for as ong as i can
