Where are the distro makers? We need a distro with Plasma 6.7, kernel 6.9, maybe an optional lite version with xfce 4.20 and some meme wallpapers

Why did you upload it as a webp? Nothing against ya, but webp can burn in hell in for it's sins (inconveniencing me when I forward memes to telegram and they come out as stickers) lol

Legit tho, how did you make it a webp? I never tried it, is it an export option on gimp?

sounds like we should get off telegram! (or at least the official client?)

WebP is a pretty awesome format with awesome compression, both lossless and lossy. It's only behind JXL which is not widely adopted.

Trust me, I want to get out of telegram, but the issue is that all of my friends do not want to leave. Stickers are a huge reason for them staying on telegram, but the real reason is that they're used to it so they don't want to try new stuff

Yes, it's an export option in Gimp, and I also use it everywhere. It's smaller than both PNG and JPG, does the job of both (lossy and lossless), and has better quality at the same size.

Nice!! I have been needing to upload some documents to websites with ridiculously small size limitations, so that's really useful! Thanks!

I am also quite annoyed by telegram, but it's their fault for assuming all webp images as stickers

6

It's such a stupid decision! They can't even benefit from the better compression on all of the other images shared around because of this dumb decision

What's that? Ungesktiptet came back as "not written" from Norwegian

Can military organisation just take addresses?

14

IP addresses are like oil for the internet, therefore a legitimate military target.

As a matter of fact KDE 6.9 will be released on 2027/4/20. Source: trust me, bro.

if it causes even one eight year old to take an interest, it's worth it.

Nobody who finds 6 7 funny is going to be using anything other than a tablet that runs YouTube

Nah, humans are great at pattern-matching, even just being aware that some find 67 funny is enough for you to start spotting it. I started finding some amusement in it just due to exposure from younger coworkers.

36

Late 40s, novice linux user, and I find it funny. I only know it coz of my kids, and the funny part is when they say it. You start spotting it everywhere yourself too, and in my head I shake my hands and shout 6 7....lol.

if you're brainrotted enough on your giant tablet screen you could scroll six or seven yt sharts programs at the same time

Thanks to the XFCE development proceeding at couch potato speeds, I've been on this funny number version for a year and a half lol.

35

Yeah I'm not complaining. I'm actually surprised they've successfully demonstrated wayland support after jumping from 4.18.

3

If you've been on that version for a year and a half, probably nothing major is broken. And with software these days, that's invaluable 😂

6

considered switching for a day just so i could claim 4.20 status

aussie.zone

it’s like how the linux kernel isn’t semver: the number after the decimal point has a maximum of .19 and then the first number increments

except that one time

kernel version 4.20 is the only .20 kernel version

They should skip to 6.9 for good measure

21

I wanted to run kernel 6.6.6 but they didn't make that version. I think they switched to 6.7 before it happened.

Your distro most likely just skipped that version. I distinctly remember getting excited about installing that specific version (on Arch). That said, I think that version was very shortlived due to a printer-bug or something like that.

13

I was on arch but yeah, may have missed it because it was so short lived.

Every generation has its words and phrases they use. Mostly to just annoy their parents-- Who had their own words and phrases.

So if you're Hep to the Scene and a Real Gone Cat, Be cool and chill, light up a J because it's 420 somewhere. And enjoy 67. And the not to distant future, we are all going to laugh at Gen Alpha about it. And they are going to be confused about the Gen Beta's annoying slang.

Personally I hope Plasma goes with 6.7 AND 6.9. The memes will just write themselves. And it will be glorious!

I understand the meaning of 666, but what's wrong with 67?

Its the funny number of gen alpha. Like 42 for millenials. But there is no meaning behind it. Its just six seven. That's it.

Wait since when was 42 a meme for millenials? I must have missed a lot of internet culture.

That's from hitchhiker's guide, probably more a gen X thing.

Millennials had 420.

22

As a millennial, 1337, 42 and 420 is deeply embedded in my brain as funny numbers

I am sure that ddpends on whether you were born in the 80's or 90's as a millenial. But thanks for the info.

Yeah 420 and 69 would be more of the meme numbers to me at least.

I had to pick a custom port number for a service at work, I usedport 42069. My boss never realized and it's still there.

I was born in the 90s and 42 was a meme number for me. But I was aware it was part of nerd culture. Definitely not something known by most.

6

Considering how insular internet culture was back in the 2000's, let alone the 90's when very few had access to the internet. It does not surprise me I missed this meme.

3

HHGTTG was released at the end of the 70s so definitely a GenX thing.

6

420 goes farther back than millennials. It was just more counter/sub culture and those who knew, knew. It just became common lexicon with the millennials.

Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Movie or TV series. 42 is the answer to "the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything"

Thank you for the info. I have never watched Hitchhikers guide so that would be why I do not have a reference for it.

Danquebecreply
sh.itjust.works

I hadn't read or watched it yet I knew the reference. It was bigger than the source material. It helped popularize it.

4

Maybe I was just on the wrong side of the internet at the time the meme was popular.

1

It's older than millenials, but widely known. And not really a "meme" like 420, 69 or 67. It was a chill meme.

3

It looks like funny number, but it's actually The Game. Funny numbers reference something, The Games are self referential.

I'm not Christian. So it's just a number. You have to be an idiot to make this a thing.

I guess we're all idiots then. I don't mind to be one,honestly. It's a lot more fun that way.
