    Lemmy is so weird. Some of the memes make me think that average audience here is 15 yrs old, but then there is the occasional post like this which only 70 year old ancient wizards will understand.

      I resent that. I’m 38 and I distinctly remember this. RedHat 4.2 (Manhattan) circa 1997 I think. That was when I started messing with Linux.

      How do you have to be 70 years old to understand this?

    Someone should totally recreate this language pack for a modern Linux Distro, or maybe even an interface language for lemmy?

    The modern appropriate version of this is Pirate or l33tspeak, it’s a common technique for debugging localization issues without having to be able to read another language

      I miss everything having pirate speak. I don’t know why it stopped being a trend.

    Ah, old Red Hat. What memories. When I tell people my first distro was RedHat 5.2 I need to explain that I don’t mean RHEL.
