2024 will finally be the year of Linux desktop

[–] [email protected] 17 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Year of the steam deck for me!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Ay you're that thing mercury is in sometimes. Is 2024 actually going to be the year it turns Gatorade?

Well, we hit 3% of market share in 2023, so this was definitely one of the years of the Linux desktop.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 8 months ago (7 children)

2023 was the best year for me in a long time. Got a neat promotion and a marry-worthy partner :)

[–] [email protected] 25 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Did your promotion exceed inflation by a nice margin?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

It really did! It's a decent boost to my savings for sure

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Today you will stub your toe. Twice.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Easy there, Satan

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

Same toe. Same spot.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 months ago

That's awesome!

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

In this awful time we live in, that’s all you can ask for! That’s awesome!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Congrats on both!

Those two make a big difference. Ten years ago I was broke, in an abusive marriage, and still trying to work out a bunch of personal issues.

Today, I have an awesome (different) wife, a job I don't hate where I make good money, kids that I love, and a place to call home.

There's still rough days. Those are part of life. But I am a very fortunate man and even when I have a bad day, I remember that it used to be and could be way, way worse.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

It's good you were able to get out of that abusive situation and into something better. Congratulations, my friend :)

This meme I made early last year is relevant.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 8 months ago (1 children)

2024, an election year, will definitely be a shitshow.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

Yeah, but does that mean it's a normal and expected shitshow?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Dunno, is a coup attempt normal and expected now?

I'd say it's going to be more of a shitshow than normal, but that will be expected.

2024 will be the year of esteemed Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie.

I can feel it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

I really hope so! The alternatives look really grim right now

[–] Ookami38 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I'd say I have faith, but that implies I don't have confidence in your abilities. You got it!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 37 points 8 months ago

I keep wishing everyone a very boring 2024. Makes me happy when they reply in kind.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

You haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because you’re thinking life will be depressing from here on out and nothing will improve.

I haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because it’s always “the year” for me regardless of what I say or don’t say.

We are not the same.

I feel like the last properly good year, at least for me, was 2012. Everything has just been a slow fumbling collapse since then.

The Mayans had it right

A big part of quality of life is trying to make it good.

The stoics taught that you should focus on what you can control, and that still holds true. I can’t fix the world, I can try, but I can focus on searching for joy in my life.

So for 2024 don’t let the doomers keep you down, you need to put your own oxygen mask on first and try to find the things that will make you happier. Go camping, try a hobby, ask for a promotion you’ve been after.

Dont go full “hakuna matata”, deal with the important stuff you need to, but don’t forget about yourself.

It'll be the best year yet for global warming, that's a guarantee. Every year will be setting new records for the forseeable future.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago (4 children)

There's always the possibility of nuclear winter...

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Yep, all we need is nuclear winter to balance out the global warming!

Last few months been great over here! I'm still a fuckin loser but now I go sailing and do jiu-jitsu with my brother 👍

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago

Nice! Happy for you!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

A friend of mine posted it as her Insta note and I just silently thought 'noooo.'

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Things get better for me every year. And I'm actually a doomer too lol

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Of course it depends what you do with your year. Move up the ladder, or move to a better place or changing your hobbies or whatever can all make it a better year. Politically - it's gonna be a crapfest of a shitshow. No two ways about that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

The New Year is always going to be the best .... but every time we get there, we just end up wishing for the next New Year.

Which means wishing for the New Year is a phenomenal that we can never achieve.

It's always a wish that can never be fulfilled.

I think little orphan Annie has a song about this.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

She was little ... she wasn't an orphan ... and her name wasn't Annie

2024 could be

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

I loved 2023. Best year so far!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

It's getting worse every year. I just hope 2024 won't be worse than 2023.
