    I’ve had this in my .zshrc for a while: alias $(date +%Y)="echo 'YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP'"

    If you type the current year in your terminal, it will say “YEAR OF THE LINUX DESKTOP” lol

    Hot take (?): For anyone who has made the switch, it was the year or the Linux desktop. 🤷‍♂️

    I’m more surprised at PewDiePie, tbh. Jason runs a Mastodon instance, with the account [email protected] (I’m hoping that by leaving out the @ sign before the local username, that won’t send him an unwanted notification), so the fact that he’s also a Linux user is less surprising. I don’t watch PDP, but I gather he has a very large and impressionable audience, so him promoting Linux should be good!

      Personally, I think it’s okay to ping him. I would think it’d be neat to see where and what conversations are occurring.

        If you want to mention him, I won’t try to stop you (not that I could if I wanted to). For me though, I’m pretty sure he’s already aware of the existence of [email protected] so he has the resources to follow threadiverse discussions of himself if he wants, and I’d rather leave it in his hands to control that rather than have it thrust upon him.

          I think that’s fair, and I appreciate your considerateness 😊

          Ha, nah it’s okay. I think it’d be silly for me to ping him further down in the thread after the fact. I was mostly voicing my unsolicited opinion 😆

      Yggdrasil was the first company to create a live CD Linux distribution. […] [1]

      Neat! Though, from a brief search, it’s not clear to me if that means that they were the first “live CD Linux distribution” overall, or just the first company to release one.
