Thank you all, thank you HN, for being so welcoming and a genuinely fun and safe place to spend time.

Seventhed - I've written to HN's email address and received a personal response from Daniel the same day. You could have the greatest, most expensive commercial support contract and it wouldn't get you a Daniel!
Universally true AFAIK. He has never failed to respond to me within minutes. Baffling.
So will this be the year of the Linux desktop?
I'm fairly confident that yes, this will be the year of the Linux desktop: 2024 = 20 | 24 20 x 3 + 16 = 76, which is the ASCII value of 'L'. 24 x 3 + 12 = 84, which is the ASCII value of 'T'. = LT = Linux Torvalds
Likewise. This has been a hell of a year, for better and worse (mostly worse). HN is a reliable place where I can have reasonable conversations about stuff I love doing. It's a shining example of what I wish the internet was.

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.
Is it OK? I'm genuinely not sure. I have been considering a new year's resolution not to keep propping up relationship that aren't reciprocated. Are they "not initiators" in all relationships, or just with you? Why do you conclude that it's ok (genuinely interested)?

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!
HNY, all HN!
