Before Ubuntu or Fedora, there was SLS (Softlanding Linux System), released in 1992: the first Linux distribution to bundle the kernel with enough software to be usable out of the box. Both Debian and Slackware trace their roots back to it.

People can’t afford to eat or make rent.
On top of that, we pay more in taxes than we do in food, clothing, and housing COMBINED.
Welcome to the golden age people!! 🤑🤡
Should you chase hype or ignore it? The tech industry has been debating this for decades. So at @Sequoia, we dug into 20 years of hype data.
This summer, I worked with Sequoia intern @ochonaut to measure hype over the past 2 decades. The chart below ranks the most hyped topics on Hacker News for every year since 2007. Under each year sits the most valuable company founded that year.
Here are a few observations:
1/ The top company founded in a given year is rarely related to the hype of that period. Airbnb was founded in 2008, when the top topic was Google. Uber arrived in 2009, while the conversation revolved around low-level programming. Anthropic came in 2021, while the internet was consumed by crypto. Chasing hype rarely leads to enduring outcomes. The top companies of recent years have yet to be decided.
2/ New trends announce themselves five to six years early. LLMs first cracked the top 15 in 2016 and took until 2022 to hit #1. AI coding entered at #12 in 2021 and tops the list in 2026. Crypto entered in 2011 before 2017 and 2021 peaks. “New” trends don’t appear out of nowhere, and internet subcommunities are often the first to know where the puck is headed.
3/ Long-term “hype” is a durable signal. The “Musk-Verse” has been a top 15 topic for every one of the past 14 years. Sustained attention on the internet is rare and tends to mark something real.
Next up, we want to run the same analysis with sources like X and LinkedIn. If that's of interest, give us some encouragement and we'll share the results.

“[Fauci] never cited data. He must have done 1,000 interviews in the past 3 years, more than one a day in 2020 and 2021, and he never cited data. He makes these 'statements'. I don't even know what he was talking about.”
ALARMING: Journalists still defend Fauci after years of his dehumanizing lies.
Dana Bash claims she only shared “the best science.” Fauci’s diary proves otherwise: She texted him after Jordan’s grilling, calling him a “better man” and sharing Blitzer’s advice to tell the congressman to “go f--- yourself.”
They weren’t reporting. They were enforcing. They smeared critics, pushed catastrophic policies, and wrecked lives—then refused to own it.
A man carefully dissects why Andrew Tate has high levels of testosterone at the age of 39 despite lack of sleep, drinking large amounts of coffee, and eating one meal a day.
“That number shouldn’t make any sense.”
“By science, he should have low testosterone.” 👨🔬
Man explains why.
