it’s like how the linux kernel isn’t semver: the number after the decimal point has a maximum of .19 and then the first number increments
except that one time
kernel version 4.20 is the only .20 kernel version
They should skip to 6.9 for good measure
Every generation has its words and phrases they use. Mostly to just annoy their parents-- Who had their own words and phrases.
So if you’re Hep to the Scene and a Real Gone Cat, Be cool and chill, light up a J because it’s 420 somewhere. And enjoy 67. And the not to distant future, we are all going to laugh at Gen Alpha about it. And they are going to be confused about the Gen Beta’s annoying slang.
Personally I hope Plasma goes with 6.7 AND 6.9. The memes will just write themselves. And it will be glorious!
genuinely a real problem. stay strong comrades
Thanks to the XFCE development proceeding at couch potato speeds, I’ve been on this funny number version for a year and a half lol.
If you’ve been on that version for a year and a half, probably nothing major is broken. And with software these days, that’s invaluable 😂
At my speeds eh
I’ll make a jump straight to 6.9
Nobody who finds 6 7 funny is going to be using anything other than a tablet that runs YouTube
Late 40s, novice linux user, and I find it funny. I only know it coz of my kids, and the funny part is when they say it. You start spotting it everywhere yourself too, and in my head I shake my hands and shout 6 7…lol.
Erm, what the sigma are you t alking about.
SIX SEVEN
I’m in my late 30s and find it funny… please help.
Nah, humans are great at pattern-matching, even just being aware that some find 67 funny is enough for you to start spotting it. I started finding some amusement in it just due to exposure from younger coworkers.
i beg to differ
Six sevuuuun
if you’re brainrotted enough on your giant tablet screen you could scroll six or seven yt sharts programs at the same time
6.6.5.1
\m/
666 would have been great.The best imho
Amazing
I wanted to run kernel 6.6.6 but they didn’t make that version. I think they switched to 6.7 before it happened.
Your distro most likely just skipped that version. I distinctly remember getting excited about installing that specific version (on Arch). That said, I think that version was very shortlived due to a printer-bug or something like that.
I was on arch but yeah, may have missed it because it was so short lived.
I understand the meaning of 666, but what’s wrong with 67?
You don’t have kids in your life, do you?
67
Its the funny number of gen alpha. Like 42 for millenials. But there is no meaning behind it. Its just six seven. That’s it.
Wait since when was 42 a meme for millenials? I must have missed a lot of internet culture.
That’s from hitchhiker’s guide, probably more a gen X thing.
Millennials had 420.
420 goes farther back than millennials. It was just more counter/sub culture and those who knew, knew. It just became common lexicon with the millennials.
As a millennial, 1337, 42 and 420 is deeply embedded in my brain as funny numbers
I am sure that ddpends on whether you were born in the 80’s or 90’s as a millenial. But thanks for the info.
Yeah 420 and 69 would be more of the meme numbers to me at least.
I had to pick a custom port number for a service at work, I usedport 42069. My boss never realized and it’s still there.
I was born in the 90s and 42 was a meme number for me. But I was aware it was part of nerd culture. Definitely not something known by most.
Considering how insular internet culture was back in the 2000’s, let alone the 90’s when very few had access to the internet. It does not surprise me I missed this meme.
HHGTTG was released at the end of the 70s so definitely a GenX thing.
Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Movie or TV series. 42 is the answer to “the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything”
Thank you for the info. I have never watched Hitchhikers guide so that would be why I do not have a reference for it.
I hadn’t read or watched it yet it I knew the reference. It was bigger than the source material. It helped popularize it.
Maybe I was just on the wrong side of the internet at the time the meme was popular.
Six seeeveen!
There is no winning D:
8.6.7.5.3.0.9
0.1.1.8.9.9.9.8.8.1.9.9.9.1.1.9.7.2.5.3
Damn I sang the whole thing!
I’ve had a bit of a tumble
