Happy Birthday, Debian. ๐ ๐ ๐
25 years old.
Ian Murdock announced #Debian on August 16th 1993. The first release, 0.01, was made the next month, on September 15th.
Congratulations & thanks to the Debian volunteers, past and present, for making it such a fantastic distro. Here's to the next 25 years.

@Gargron thank you!

@kepstin TIL! I knew there were some further releases but didn't know it was still actively developed. I am also imagining if Microsoft didn't use monopoly strength against Corel, and/or there was an open OLE object standard, where we might be.

@kepstin I loved the toolbar layout! I definitely prefer this style over MS Word. Would love to have seen where it could have evolved to.

Saw the remastered 1995 Ghost In The Shell in the cinema last night (25th anniversary, not 2.0). The visuals and soundtrack are gorgeous and deserve a big screen experience. Unfortunately the English subtitles are, in my opinion, much worse than the 1998 version. Spelling and grammar errors abound. Still, every time I watch #GITS I find something new. It is a truly remarkable film.

@gregminton Tootdon is my favorite at the moment, just feels like a great overall experience with some fun extras (e.g. profile photo animations). Looking forward to your reviews!

A couple of people from various instances have mentioned that #Mastodon is confusing at first. So I decided to write a comprehensive guide on how to get started with Mastodon.
Hopefully this helps new users to Mastodon. Please do Boost if you feel it could be useful to others.

I'm looking for help to bring good ocaml support to smartparens. It would make the #emacs experience even more awesome. https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens/pull/886

Facebook one-day losses: $119 Billion
Global cheese market (projected for 2019): $118 Billion
Yep. Facebook did indeed lose, in one day, more value than the entire concept of cheese
