Dear Linux community,

In these unpredictable and often challenging times, I feel it’s more important than ever to pause and share heartfelt wishes. Merry Christmas to each and every one of you!

Let this holiday season be a moment of peace, where you can step back, breathe, and find some calm amidst the chaos. Take the opportunity to reconnect, reflect, and perhaps even find inspiration for the year ahead.

May your days be filled with joy, your systems stay secure, and your kernels remain stable. Here’s to a festive season full of positivity and open-source spirit!

Warm wishes,

Your fellow penguin at heart.

P.S.: I had very little time, so the whole thing, was AI accelerated! Please forgive me :-)

    eh, i don’t see it as any different than most of the cards in a store, it’s all incredibly low effort and cringy, yet no one seems to give a shit about that.

      That’s an interesting perspective actually

      Maybe it’s because of who’s giving them? If my little cousin gave me an AI Christmas card, I’d be happier than if a stranger gave me one on the street. (Though I’d feel bummed if they didn’t even marker in a single custom sentence)

      i.e. higher standards of creativity/effort from a stranger than from a family member.

      Also the stranger isn’t stuffing a tenner in the card lmao

        i just kinda feel eh about them as a concept, it’s just a piece of paper with an image on it where the sum total involvement from the giver is that they selected the card, and even that is almost never something that took more than 20 seconds.

        It’s a worse version of postcards, which usually have some actually interesting art on them (or a photo) and is relevant to a journey they made.
