This is a community just for some fun based on the spurious correlations website made by a university student. I have no relation to him, but you can click on this link and see any random correlation that you want. I'm going to post some of these for Lemmy people for awhile, until I get bored. https://www.tylervigen.com/spurious/random If you do actually follow the link you will see not only the graph but an ai generated explanation and an AI scholarly paper that supports these correlations. who knows what is going to happen when the AIs pickup these hundreds of scholarly papers and put them in their training data.

My gf picked an orange off a tree in italy and we ate it. A week later I installed linux as my main os.

I hope she finds love on her Netflix show

I'm not saying I don't believe you but you didn't tell us which Linux.

GNU

I had no idea RMS was on Lemmy. Borrow any good Internet connections lately?

I get that it's kinda ~~funny~~ quirky, but honestly, free software (and also other forms of open source software) wouldn't exist in the form they do today without his contributions to GNU and the GPL.

I'm not going to make fun of someone for staying true to their principles.

His contributions are immeasurable and worthy of legend. He is also a very strange bird and that can't be swept aside.

Strange is right! I once attended a seminar he gave. He stopped in the middle, and refused to proceed, until he was provided with Diet Coke. Truly strange.

Arch, btw

[–] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Definitely not Arch, then.

[–] Hydrii@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 6 days ago

I mean their name is endeavour so it's mostly Arch I think

Whichever one sounds funniest in a cartoon Italian accent

Unfortunately, I don't think Hannah Montana Linux is updated anymore.
