I love when people share their interests and hobbies with me.

To be fair, I never experienced some linux user talking about it randomly. On the other hand, ai users are so annoying! Every time they're around, they're asking wether we saw the latest model, which one we like the most (assuming we use, as if it was a rule, and getting shocked os skeptical if we say we don't), and stuff like that

It was back then, before elitist Linux users were either forced out, as those also treated Linux not as an OS, but as a special clubhouse. Many of them went back to Windows of all things.

The hardest thing about hating AI isn't that they're sycophants, nor that they enable any old dim-wit to pretend to understand any old subject. It's organically bringing up how much they suck in every conversation. I should know, I hate 'em

I'm not sure I've never heard anyone bring up Linux or marathons like this, and I've only ever known one vegan who would. I'm speaking about IRL conversations. Even when I think back to social media posts, these things are somewhat rare still. But sure, be mad about people's passions I guess?

I don't know, I never mind if people bring up things they're trying or into.

I could run a marathon.

I would finish last and I might even take several years, like that one dude who ended up as a soldier in a war while technically still participating in a marathon. But I could say I ran a marathon.

So the only response to someone bragging about running a marathon is "did you win?"

[–] Zoomboingding@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I'm not sure people still consider it a marathon if you sleep for the night during the process

Do you recall anything else about that guy? I just tried to look it up, and all I got was articles about Hiroo Onoda

I conflagrated the war thing from something else, it seems. Guy I am talking about is Shizo Kanakuri. He was in the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, quit, went home without telling anyone, was declared missing and when the Olympic committee found out 54 years later what had happened, they invited him to finish the race he started, which also led to him receiving a Guiness World Record.

Though now I am wondering where the hell I got the soldier thing from... 🤔

[–] stephen01king@piefed.zip 2 points 5 hours ago

Maybe because between 1912 and 1966 he might've joined a war or two.
