I'm a programmer. In 2010 I had a boss come up to me and tell me we should start using APIs. He had just read an article about how APIs were the next big thing. Fortunately he had a short attention span and soon wandered off and never mentioned APIs again, and I was able to get back to work on the awesome Blackberry app I was writing.

Don't leave the rest of us in suspense; should we be using APIs???
I think the best possible response to a question like this is just to say "yes", and refuse to elaborate further.

Nah, it's a fad.

Ubuntu is a South African word. I think it means together. So I think it's actually highly likely that there is a band with that name.

Apparently there is one

Your boss should listen to DBAN! Their new stuff sucks but their classics were amazing. They opened for Erasure.
NarrativeBear@lemmy.world · 22 pts · 1y
DBAN is Thee Band. Once you play their older CDs there's not much left.

Was wondering why they were using a 12 year old live CD. Then I realized the post itself was 12 years old.
I like my Live CDs like I like my scotch.

In fairness, I can see why he might think this was a music CD

oh the legendary December 2004 concert - I have a friend that was there

Live at the legendary venue, LTS. Pretty sure that's the backstage where Axl Rose came up with Sweet Child O Mine or something.

Was on a vacay in Cuba about 13 years ago, wearing a Slackware 1337 tee....

debian is a really cool death metal band from sweden
pencil_nerd@mander.xyz · 10 pts · 1y
Ok but unironically there is almost certainly a garage death metal band in Sweden calling themselves debian

I know this is old as fuck but a Colombian band called Piso 21 had an 2018 album called Ubuntu if anyone is interested
