    The Irony of the Unix wars is that Unix lost.

    Linux didn’t have any of the untouchable legal issues that Unix had. Linux was built from the ground up without access to Unix source code, that was entirely why it was written.

    And now we have Linux, the most used kernel on the face of this earth. Used in almost every server. All android devices. Chrome books. The Steam deck. It’s included on every copy of Windows.

    Linux won the Unix wars. And it’s all the fault of the very creator of Unix. AT&T, in their greed, killed the creation they sought to profit from.

    Double Ironic.

    I know it's just a meme, but god damn I hate this format. Some men cry while watching the titanic, some (many) women use *nix.

    [–] SingularEye@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

    agree wholeheartedly

    Fun story. When the titanic came out, the girl I was crushing on asked me if I wanted to go see it with her and her other friends.

    Yeah. So we’re in line to get in and I made a sarcastic comment, something about, “but we know how it ends… the ship sinks.”

    Apparently. She didn’t know that. Oops.
    In any case the gaggle of old women in the row behind us were more entertaining. It may have been like their fifth time watching it. Specifically so they could see DiCaprio’s naked ass. The rest of the time they spent heckling it MST3K- style.

    Even if it's a re-run, it's a dick move to give away the ending to any movie while in line to see it.

    Watching a movie about WWII "I wonder who won??"

    I wonder what hobbies this Julius Caesar guy gets into when he retires?

    [–] KSPAtlas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

    He gets really good at playing dead, even has fake knife wounds

    [–] EinfachUnersetzlich@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

    It's a very well known historical story though.

    You Linux people never fail to make me laugh. Bless Lemmy.

    I don't know why, but the thought of some 38 year old American farmer who doesn't know computers going "you linux people" is very sweet sounding to me.
