Mythbusters: Wing Commander I Edition
You've probably heard of the famous 'thank you for playing Wing Commander' story. It claims that a programmer on the original Wing Commander was stuck getting an error message when the game unloaded its memory during a quit. Pressed for time, instead of fixing the issue he simply hex edited the memory manager's error reporting to print 'thank you for playing Wing Commander' instead. A funny and relatable story!

For us, the feeling of extending the use of something as long as possible, swapping things out, fixing things, all of that is incredibly fun.
@doskel run it :3
@marcan we need to get those KDE numbers up :p
@christiansilvermooon @starsider even though the community already *made* a debian repo
@starsider @christiansilvermooon and this is how companies work :/
@christiansilvermooon @starsider "It's your lucky day!" LET US HAVE SOCIAL INTERACTION DAMN IT AAAAAAAAA
@starsider @christiansilvermooon hell, we use vencord. I think a lot of people probably use a client mod and Discord just doesn't bother enforcing rules.
@christiansilvermooon @starsider this for sure. And the forced updates. Thank God the package maintainers for Arch got it updated fast
