• The “week of fights” as it was later called, where we went on soft lockdown four days in a row due to community violence. First time was because a guy with a crowbar was trying to break the front door windows of the school to get in. His brother or something was going to fight someone and I guess he wanted to be there to help. The other times were also due to fights involving members of two families if I recall correctly, it was really weird.
• One student threw a textbook of another student on the roof of the school, who just so happened to be affiliated with some gang. He and his brother beat him up outside my bus, where a well-placed punch sprayed blood on my window.
• Star basketball player decided it would be a good idea to commit armed robbery the day before graduation.
• A twitter account was created that would post the name of a senior girl and their “rank” in terms of “hotness” a few times a day. No one could figure out who was behind the account, although I think there was a shortlist of potentials.
• Another twitter account was created that looked like the school district’s official twitter page, which posted that school was canceled due to snow. Well about half the kids believed it and didn’t show up, so the school was a total ghost town that day, and none of the teachers did any real teaching since most of them had so few students

etcetera lol

Real ones remember vlemmy.net. One of the first instances post-Reddit migration to go away suddenly

Just say you don’t like Ubuntu lol

He switched to Debian

Eventually Linus himself will come and personally re-write your cfg file for you

You probably shouldn’t be accessing a linux distro’s website from mobile

I don’t think it’s good to hand-wave a website’s poor user experience and instead blame the user’s device. The fact of the matter is that Debian’s website is not as responsive as it could (imo, should) be and results in a bad user experience. With mobile traffic being responsible for over 55% of the internet’s traffic, it can be generally assumed a user’s first experience learning about a distro will be on a mobile device. If that first impression is bad, that can spell bad news for that distro’s adoption/onboarding.

Never heard of this, but it looks like a FOSS version of stellarium? Way cool, and the site gives nostalgic Web 1.0 vibes

And to be fair, that whole narwhal bacon thing was a weird fad of internet culture as a whole, not just on Reddit (think pre-2014 internet imo)

Kinda surprised there isn’t, ngl

This is exciting! Cant wait to try it out once that flatpak is released!

Just out of curiosity do you have any examples of quirks or annoyances that you found to be especially egregious? If you can’t share due to NDA no worries

If you can’t beat 'em join 'em

It is so interesting seeing the graphic design pendulum swing between skeuomorphic design and flat design every couple of years. I love the 3D feel of their library and am seeing it pop up a lot more in web design.

Getting evicted. I don’t do anything wrong or break my lease in my apartment, and have never had a complaint against me but for whatever reason I get super freaked out when someone knocks on my door. Even if it’s just a delivery driver.

I remember one time I actually called off sick at work because I saw my landlord on my ring doorbell tape something to my door and I was literally worried sick. Started thinking I had to start looking for another place.

Turns out it was just a notice saying that they were going to give residents a free fire extinguisher in the coming days. All that panic for nothing.

Linux users having strong opinions? I’m shocked I tell you, SHOCKED!

Well TIL, thanks for the graphic!
