      Well, we hit 3% of market share in 2023, so this was definitely one of the years of the Linux desktop.

    2023 was the best year for me in a long time. Got a neat promotion and a marry-worthy partner :)

      Those two make a big difference. Ten years ago I was broke, in an abusive marriage, and still trying to work out a bunch of personal issues.

      Today, I have an awesome (different) wife, a job I don’t hate where I make good money, kids that I love, and a place to call home.

      There’s still rough days. Those are part of life. But I am a very fortunate man and even when I have a bad day, I remember that it used to be and could be way, way worse.

    I feel like the last properly good year, at least for me, was 2012. Everything has just been a slow fumbling collapse since then.

    It’ll be the best year yet for global warming, that’s a guarantee. Every year will be setting new records for the forseeable future.

    You haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because you’re thinking life will be depressing from here on out and nothing will improve.

    I haven’t said “2024 will be the year” because it’s always “the year” for me regardless of what I say or don’t say.

    We are not the same.

    A big part of quality of life is trying to make it good.

    The stoics taught that you should focus on what you can control, and that still holds true. I can’t fix the world, I can try, but I can focus on searching for joy in my life.

    So for 2024 don’t let the doomers keep you down, you need to put your own oxygen mask on first and try to find the things that will make you happier. Go camping, try a hobby, ask for a promotion you’ve been after.

    Dont go full “hakuna matata”, deal with the important stuff you need to, but don’t forget about yourself.
