2024 will finally be the year of Linux desktop

[–] Retrograde@lemmy.world 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Year of the steam deck for me!

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ay you're that thing mercury is in sometimes. Is 2024 actually going to be the year it turns Gatorade?

2023 was the best year for me in a long time. Got a neat promotion and a marry-worthy partner :)

[–] Kystael@lemmy.ca 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did your promotion exceed inflation by a nice margin?

[–] 520@kbin.social 21 points 2 years ago

It really did! It's a decent boost to my savings for sure

[–] GrammatonCleric@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Today you will stub your toe. Twice.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

Easy there, Satan

[–] PopShark@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Same toe. Same spot.

That's awesome!

[–] Wermhatswormhat@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago

In this awful time we live in, that’s all you can ask for! That’s awesome!

[–] krellor@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago

Congrats on both!

[–] jubilationtcornpone@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Those two make a big difference. Ten years ago I was broke, in an abusive marriage, and still trying to work out a bunch of personal issues.

Today, I have an awesome (different) wife, a job I don't hate where I make good money, kids that I love, and a place to call home.

There's still rough days. Those are part of life. But I am a very fortunate man and even when I have a bad day, I remember that it used to be and could be way, way worse.

[–] 520@kbin.social 4 points 2 years ago

It's good you were able to get out of that abusive situation and into something better. Congratulations, my friend :)

This meme I made early last year is relevant.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 38 points 2 years ago (1 children)

2024, an election year, will definitely be a shitshow.

[–] ChillDude69@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

Yeah, but does that mean it's a normal and expected shitshow?

[–] yurgenst@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Dunno, is a coup attempt normal and expected now?

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I'd say it's going to be more of a shitshow than normal, but that will be expected.

[–] MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 40 points 2 years ago (2 children)

2024 will be the year of esteemed Academy Award winning character actress Margot Robbie.

I can feel it.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I really hope so! The alternatives look really grim right now

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'd say I have faith, but that implies I don't have confidence in your abilities. You got it!

I keep wishing everyone a very boring 2024. Makes me happy when they reply in kind.

[–] Poggervania@kbin.social 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because you’re thinking life will be depressing from here on out and nothing will improve.

I haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because it’s always “the year” for me regardless of what I say or don’t say.

We are not the same.

I feel like the last properly good year, at least for me, was 2012. Everything has just been a slow fumbling collapse since then.

[–] superduperenigma@lemmy.world 13 points 2 years ago

The Mayans had it right

A big part of quality of life is trying to make it good.

The stoics taught that you should focus on what you can control, and that still holds true. I can’t fix the world, I can try, but I can focus on searching for joy in my life.

So for 2024 don’t let the doomers keep you down, you need to put your own oxygen mask on first and try to find the things that will make you happier. Go camping, try a hobby, ask for a promotion you’ve been after.

Dont go full “hakuna matata”, deal with the important stuff you need to, but don’t forget about yourself.

It'll be the best year yet for global warming, that's a guarantee. Every year will be setting new records for the forseeable future.

[–] Rolando@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (3 children)

There's always the possibility of nuclear winter...

[–] Wermhatswormhat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Yep, all we need is nuclear winter to balance out the global warming!

Last few months been great over here! I'm still a fuckin loser but now I go sailing and do jiu-jitsu with my brother 👍

[–] GeoGio7@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Nice! Happy for you!

[–] Happyhermit87@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

A friend of mine posted it as her Insta note and I just silently thought 'noooo.'

[–] rab@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 years ago

Things get better for me every year. And I'm actually a doomer too lol

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

The New Year is always going to be the best .... but every time we get there, we just end up wishing for the next New Year.

Which means wishing for the New Year is a phenomenal that we can never achieve.

It's always a wish that can never be fulfilled.

I think little orphan Annie has a song about this.

2024 could be

[–] lastjinn 3 points 2 years ago

Hope for the best and prepare for the worst, everybody

[–] Trollception@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I loved 2023. Best year so far!

[–] rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 years ago

It's getting worse every year. I just hope 2024 won't be worse than 2023.

[–] match@pawb.social 2 points 2 years ago

2026 is gonna be my year

[–] lugal@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

It will be the best year of the rest of my life
