the years for norris facts and rickroll are correct, but all your base was a meme by 2000 and Leeroy Jenkins happened in 2005.

It’s because it’s got Roman in the name, isn’t it?

also Calibri is a humanist sans-serif font

In Starship Troopers "service guarantees citizenship" but in the US it does not.

Would be easier to know how old a kernel release is without looking it up.

I concur, but it would be much easier to make the major version the current year (as many projects do, and Linux should imo) rather than the whole project's age at the time of a release.

Linux is only 34 years old, btw.

yeah - but it's not hard to understand the motivation to do unpaid labor to develop (and promote) FOSS - it's the promotion of proprietary things (many if not most of which i infer OP doesn't even use themself) which baffles me.

if OP truly isn't getting paid by any of these companies for making posts like this then they're leaving money on the table, because many of the companies behind the proprietary products and services they're recommending do spend a substantial amount on marketing.

i don't understand what motivates you to do so much unpaid labor to market/advertise/recommend commercial products and services which you yourself would not even use.

i thought you had stopped recommending protonmail and spotify but i see now both are back (spotify not in this image, but (with caveats) on your website).

AI code will likely get to the point where it is just a higher level language

While noobs and managers are excited that the input language to this compiler is English, English is a poor language choice for many reasons.

what specifically do you wish democrats would be more willing to compromise about?
