When they first started, they had a list of promises. One of them was to always fit on a 800meg CD.

Is it kind of weird to respond to every thread with this same claim? A CD iso with full gnome desktop and openoffice wasnt minimal at the time.

No, probably just a really passionate human determined to tell people where that alleged “lightweight” claim comes from. Don’t underestimate how persistent nerds can be when they think they’re right.

Yeah, possibly. One might ask what the difference between such person and a bot is…
Replying to @YouTalkinToMe@lemmy.world
The same as the difference between my rambles and AI slop: One is natural, the other artificial. One is organic, the other mechanic. One is passionate, the other soulless.

True, true. The one-dimensional layer of text forums covers up the means to differentiate.
