From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
