Happy New Year to all of you as well. 15 years and counting here, can't believe it's been that long already. 2023 has been a pretty wild ride, a lot of our possible futures are riding on some key decisions that will be made in 2024, I hope they will all fall in the way that will lead to a more stable and peaceful world.
The one constant? This site. I never post, but I hope to more. Love the productive discussions that I always see on this site. It's a breath of fresh air after spending any time on X, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.
I used to have friends in uni with whom i could share very nerdy/technical conversations. near graduation we no longer get together sadly. this has taken a toll on me. HN is a place that feels like home, even if I'm usually just lurking around and overhearing conversations. Thanks everyone for sharing!
I think sometimes you have to realize that it's OKAY if you're always the one to keep in touch, and no one else seems to make any effort. As long as they're happy to talk when you call, or they show up at the group event when you badger them enough: that's fine. Some people are just not initiators, and it's either you make the effort, or you lose touch with them. You can't insist on reciprocity.
So will this be the year of the Linux desktop?
Thanks everyone for sharing from this lurker and happy new year!
