The youngest siblings don’t even remember much of him. That’s one of the saddest parts. It happened 21 years ago.

I have nieces now that are almost as old as they were when it went down. He would’ve loved them, they’re the greatest. 🥲

7 down to 6 here. Sorry bro.

Everybody kinda already said the obvious answers, but I’ll pop in to reiterate that my main reason was killing the API (because fuuuuuuck their shitty trash app filled with ads- or any and every app that has ads at all). I got here (Lemmy and piefed and mastodon)as part of the mass exodus that switched when the ax dropped on that.

I had wanted to before that, but addictions are addictions. But killing the app I actually liked using (combined with the dev making a Lemmy version that was extremely similar), I just kinda rode the wave to the Fediverse.

So like others, I still poke in when a search result points there, but I avoid it in general. Getting rid of the app will definitely help because it gets rid of the 1-tap access to shit.

They gotta be too young to come out of the programming.

Does it look like one of those casts made of an anthill?

That’d be brutal.

Iron Maiden? Lol

Yeah, but it’s rarer and usually called a baby.

A disinformation campaign started by normies.

I choose to imagine this is Guinan’s nickname around the ship when she’s not giving Picard or another crew member advice.

Not sure what this is in reference to, honestly. I may have heard his name when the safe happened, but I never actually watched the clip of it’s something to do with that. I just heard mentions of it later.

Personally, that was the first I ever heard of him. Given my age and his complete irrelevance to anything I cared about (basically just computers and cartoons) at the time, I had no reason to.

Honestly I still don’t know much about him, mostly because I don’t care. But everyone loves an epic fail story.

But then we wouldn’t still be laughing at that twat.

If it is, then I’ve only seen the worst uses of it. That’s the first I’ve heard of it being like that intentionally.
