    Memes are not necessarily meant to be funny. They’re meant to represent a common experience within a group. The horrid failure rate of PulseAudio just a couple years ago fits that definition perfectly, and in fact it’s why I gave up on Ubuntu 14.04 in 2015.

      Part of some people’s chagrin with internet memes culture is presenting outdated and harmful ideas as popular or current. Further spreading misinformation and hurtful beliefs.

        I wish my one bad experience in 2015 had been the absolute last time Pulse failed for anyone ever. Alas, time doesn’t work that way, and Pulse remained failure-prone for years after my encounter with it.
