2024 will finally be the year of Linux desktop

[–] Retrograde 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Year of the steam deck for me!

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

Did your promotion exceed inflation by a nice margin?

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

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

Today you will stub your toe. Twice.

[–] Decoy321 11 points 1 year ago

Easy there, Satan

[–] PopShark 6 points 1 year ago

Same toe. Same spot.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

That's awesome!

[–] Wermhatswormhat 10 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Congrats on both!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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 1 year 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.

[–] samus12345 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

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

[–] yurgenst 10 points 1 year 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.

[–] MargotRobbie 41 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

I can feel it.

[–] Noodle07 6 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

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

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

[–] superduperenigma 13 points 1 year ago

The Mayans had it right

[–] MotoAsh 22 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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.

[–] Rolando 6 points 1 year ago (4 children)

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

[–] Wermhatswormhat 5 points 1 year 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 👍

[–] GeoGio7 4 points 1 year ago

Nice! Happy for you!

[–] Happyhermit87 9 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year 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 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year 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.

2024 could be

[–] Trollception 3 points 1 year ago

I loved 2023. Best year so far!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] CIA_chatbot 2 points 1 year ago

This hurts more than it should

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

2024 will definitely be a year

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago
