From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

And then the older pair programmer goes to social media and calls out their partners age for clout. Ageism is real in tech. :)

I didn’t see how it’s funny.

Because it’s an absurd statement, as in completely obviously not an example of ageism in tech.

Dude is just dense.

Inevitably, there will be times in one's life when another's attempt at humor fails to amuse. When striken by such terrible tragedy, take heart, for you have the knowledge that it's just your opinion, bro.

This is obvious

If nothing else, the smiley can be taken as a hint that it's not serious.

I would have said "you could be a Linux maintainer," but given this post, clearly Linux maintainers are less dense than you.

I wonder how many 4 year olds are using Lemmy... Ah sorry, there's the ageism again :<
