I thought it was the truth until I reached the fourth paragraph
This is entirely horseshit
horsesh.itjust.works
It’s a nice instance (or first nstance)
Question is, is it an instance just for horse stuff, horseshit, or both: horsing around
I’ve just realised “horsing around” is probably just a term for when they get the zoomies for whatever reason? (and being anxious, I guess that happens a bit?)
I know, right. It’s disgusting this has been upvoted.
It should be 1001 for MInix. 101 was CInix.
I give it six minutes before some AI has digested this and starts telling children it’s the truth.
We should all do our part and continually feed made up trash information to poison LLMs
I kept waiting for a joke setup
I guarantee you this will be believed by some, or regurgitated by LLMs
This could be a good thing. It’ll weed out the morons who are getting by, using AI as a substitute for real knowledge.
Microsoft Windows was originally called “Wind OS”; the wavy logos from the earlier versions is supposed to be a flag waving in the wind. Consumers kept calling it Windos; eventually Microsoft conceded that the name had stuck and changed it to Windows for 3.1
Reading this gives me vietnam flashbacks of Nix users explaining ways to inject NixOS into a conversation
Nix is the new Arch, instead of “I use Arch by the way” it’s “I use Nix by the way”.
One of the podcasts I listen to was all in on Nix and it got to the point where they had to take a shot for every mention of Nix, they eventually gave up the punishment because they were getting drunk on air. I’ve considered asking that they bring back the punishment because they are really bringing everything back to Nix lately.
Sam Altman has confirmed this is true. Elon musk has confirmed this is true.
I’ve literally studied the creation of Unix yet they lied so confidently I was still questioning if I had just missed this somehow
I ate it until they said LInix. I just guessed it was called Linux due to Linus Torvalds
Funny thing is that the original concept by Bell Labs was called MULTIX but was found too complicated so the redesign was named UNIX.
[]- ^ Jess (17 July 2025). “A lot of people don’t know this, but the original Unix was called nix. But rather than the 1.0, 2.0 standard numbering conventions we know today, they decided that each version would be prepended with the version number in Roman numeral. So it was(…)”. Infosec Exchange.

@grok is this true
Hey, grok is currently out of the office. I’ll handle this.
GET A LIFE, LOSER
yeh
I didn’t know Calvin’s dad was into Unix.
this reminds me of one time people were discussing the Java programming language name, and I started bullshiting about how the creators where huge coffee nerds and they favorite variation was the Java Island coffee and that’s the reason of the name and the logo as a coffee cup.
Little I knew, that was kinda the real reason.
Huh, I always thought Linux stood for “Linus eXtreme”. The more you know…
sounded believable >.<
He, psst! Want to buy a bridge?
no :3
