2024 will finally be the year of Linux desktop

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 17 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Year of the steam deck for me!

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

I mean, it would have to be the year of the plant since Gatorade is what they crave

[–] Octopus1348@lemy.lol 3 points 9 months ago

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

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

I can feel it.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

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

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Bruncvik@lemmy.world 37 points 9 months ago

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

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.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago (4 children)

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

[–] Wermhatswormhat@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

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

[–] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 1 points 9 months ago

Patrolling the Mojave almost makes you wish for a nuclear winter

Porque no los dos?

[–] Kase@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Let's not pls :(

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

Nice! Happy for you!

[–] Happyhermit87@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago

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

[–] rab@lemmy.ca 8 points 9 months ago

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

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.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

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

I loved 2023. Best year so far!

[–] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 9 months ago

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

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 9 months ago

2026 is gonna be my year

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

This hurts more than it should

[–] lastjinn@lemmings.world 2 points 9 months ago

Hope for the best and prepare for the worst, everybody

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

It will be the best year of the rest of my life

[–] LinyosT@sopuli.xyz 2 points 9 months ago

2024 will definitely be a year

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Reverse psychology is my last hope
