Some time ago (approx three months), I decided to go ahead and delete my facebook profile fora number of reasons, none of which are personal.

I was using Facebook before most people in the UK, while everyone was still relying on MSN Messenger / MySpace – so in a way I helped contribute (in a miniscule way) towards Facebook’s success. Unfortunately it entered pop-culture and went down rapidly, most notably in the form of the Facebook Apps Platform.

I knew Facebook had now turned into something that I knew I would regret staying a part of. Judging by this article it turns out I was right…

They give names to their releases, for fucks sake, why? Debian “Sarge”, “lenny”, “sid” – why? It’s not sensible and its not “cool” – it’s just fucking retarded – talk about taking a leaf out of Microshit’s book. Ok, yes, other distros name their releases too, but they don’t fucking refer to them by their name only, they actually refer to their version number primarily.
Ubuntu (I fucking hate Ubuntu btw – it’s the poor man’s linux, the newbie n00bs distro – the may-as-well-stay-with-Windows distro) is the worst offender – Canonical (the company behind Ubuntu) decided to give their linux distro an even more retarded names like “Feisty Fawn”, “Dapper Drake” and “Gutsy Gibbon” almost as bad as goddamn “Longhorn”.
More sensible linux distros use versioning in a proper manner – e.g. Fedora 7, RHEL 5, SUSE 10.*, Sabayon 4, Gentoo 2007.0 etc etc.
