I edited the “humorous” thumbnail. I apologize if I offended anyone.

Release notes
The Wine development release 9.11 is now available.
What’s new in this release:
- C++ exception handling on ARM platforms.
- More DPI Awareness support improvements.
- Various bug fixes.
Going to be honest jokes about tragedies can work but this is just straight up insensitive.
This travesty of a joke didn’t land right for you?
It crashed and burned…
And even worse: it’s just not funny. “lol look! Number is same as terrorist attack one!!1!” Yep. Sure is. Hilarious…
It was funny, but now I realize it wasn’t for everyone.
I missed whatever the original was - I assume it was towers / terrorism related due to 9/11.
Ive noticed a trend of americans giving zero fucks about any tragedy but no one can ever touch 9/11
Honestly, good on you for taking accountability on it and editing it.
It’s the “time and place”, I feel— there’s loads of dank 9/11 memes online with (relatively) positive reception, but I think it just would’ve faired better in a community better suited for that kind of humor.
But regardless, as with any tragedy, the joke will still miss for many people. I mean, many of the families affected are still alive, and anyone older than 30 probably remembers when they heard the news.
Yup, and they’re super proud of this too, since they posted it pretty much anywhere it would be even remotely relevant.
Probably the most lazy joke one could even make.
“Lol number is 9.11, let’s show a pic of the exact moment hundreds of people instantly died cuz it’s the number!”
They could have made a joke about “Windows APIs can’t melt steel Wines” or something.
fr. it might have earned an eye roll or a chuckle if it had been a single post to linuxmemes, but the spamming just makes it obnoxious trolling
Yep, but this was about a wine release, not a meme. Look, I didn’t even post it on Linux Memes.
There was no spamming and it wasn’t trolling. I posted it literally to three communities: Wine, Linux, and Linux Gaming. It’s not my fault that the Fediverse is fragmented!!
btw I deleted the thumbnail.
Perhaps I’ll post it on Linux Memes, but I need to rethink it first.Hmm, perhaps because the Fediverse is so fragmented? These are appropriate places for news like this. I just wanted to make my thumbnail a little more humorous, and unfortunately, this didn’t go well ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͠°)
I want to assure you that I am a sensitive person who deeply feels for others’ suffering - human or animal alike. This was just a joke, intended as a lighthearted attempt at humor. You can’t dwell in mourning all the time; one must learn to move forward and maintain some distance from life’s tragedies. I acknowledge what happened on 9/11 as monstrous, and I’m not denying that. I deleted the thumbnail.
Thank you, but dude, it is the exact moment hundreds of innocent people’s lives were lost, not including the ones that would occur later when people were jumping out of the towers to their deaths to trade a fiery death for an instant one or when the towers actually fell.
“This was just a joke, intended as a lighthearted attempt at humor.”
Do you have any Holocaust zingers or dead Palestinian children memes ready for any future releases of Wine too?
