My dream is that when I search something on the web I get results 100% arranged on relevance with no commercially motivated rearranging of results. I also dream about ad free OSs, but that one came true for me back in 2005 (thanks Linux!).

Well, Linux isn't totally ad free. Once you use it, you become the ad.

That is a lot closer to the truth than I’m comfortable with 🙃

I thought linux came out around 1992?

[–] GalacticSushi@piefed.blahaj.zone 27 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

that came true FOR ME

Not everyone adopted Linux the moment it was released

Lost_My_Mind is calling Linux gay

It's one of the steps of Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism, so that checks out.

Man, I can't wait for gay space communism, gotta be more fun than this shit we got going on.

Yeah, but I was still pissing in a hole next to the sandbox back then. :-D I got started in late high school/ early college years, went back to Windows for a year or so, then fully committed to Linux going forward.
