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.

Hey, looks like you accidentally double posted ツ

Good old buggy networking

Didn't double post I'm just on a crap network, messages get sent twice sometimes

Strange it'd be due to the network, are you sure it's not the client you're using coupled with server instability?
(Anyway it doesn't really matter, it's not a tragedy)

Could be but it happens on discord and signal too on crappy networks

I think it's when it sends a packet, the network lags and delays it, it gets no response so it sends another one and then when the network catches up it sends both of them out

Using Jerboa as my client

Oh could it be then, I never had that happen on any other app so I didn't think it would be possible

I mean, if you're a distrohopper, you might be changing stickers every few days or weeks.
