Never understood why people use the punchline as the title
I'm a programmer. In 2010 I had a boss come up to me and tell me we should start using APIs. He had just read an article about how APIs were the next big thing. Fortunately he had a short attention span and soon wandered off and never mentioned APIs again, and I was able to get back to work on the awesome Blackberry app I was writing.
Don't leave the rest of us in suspense; should we be using APIs???
I think the best possible response to a question like this is just to say "yes", and refuse to elaborate further.
should we be using APIs?
Nah, it's a fad.
It's funny, but :
- Why are you posting a picture of the official app UI of Reddit?
- Why a post from more than a decade ago?
I didn't realize funny posts had expiration dates.
Gotta farm lemmy karma I guess
In fairness, I can see why he might think this was a music CD
oh the legendary December 2004 concert - I have a friend that was there
Live at the legendary venue, LTS. Pretty sure that's the backstage where Axl Rose came up with Sweet Child O Mine or something.
Was wondering why they were using a 12 year old live CD. Then I realized the post itself was 12 years old.
I like my Live CDs like I like my scotch.
Covered in bees?
when your understanding of a topic was installed as flatpak
Flatpak ? Yeah, I too like to go to Ikea
Ikea? Yea is she the person who drives a Hyundai or am I thinking of another one
Just don't sit on anything too hard
Ubuntu is a South African word. I think it means together. So I think it's actually highly likely that there is a band with that name.
Your boss should listen to DBAN! Their new stuff sucks but their classics were amazing. They opened for Erasure.
DBAN is Thee Band. Once you play their older CDs there's not much left.
He can also check out Bandwidth.
Open your eeeeeeyes, I see... Your eyes are open
Ubuntu, the Nickelback of distros.
Was on a vacay in Cuba about 13 years ago, wearing a Slackware 1337 tee....
dude by the pool, "Love the shirt, I think I've seen that brand before...!"
Gnome? Fuckin' A, man, D&D is awesome! I'd rather play 3.5 tho.
debian is a really cool death metal band from sweden
Ok but unironically there is almost certainly a garage death metal band in Sweden calling themselves debian
I know this is old as fuck but a Colombian band called Piso 21 had an 2018 album called Ubuntu if anyone is interested
It kinda slaps
