Slashdot's 10 most-visited stories of 2023 seemed to touch on all the themes of the year, with a story about AI, two about electric cars, two stories about Linux, and two about the Rust programming language.
And at the top of this list, the #1 story of the year drew over 100,000 views...

Interestingly, a story that ran on New Year's Eve of 2022 attracted so much traffic, it would've been the second-most visited story for all of 2023 — if it had run just a few hours later. That story?
Systemd's Growth Over 2022.
Hadn't seen that "Wyoming" story (Score:3)
Only surprise to me is that DeSantis didn't copy it for Florida and make the phase-out mandatory.

As a transgender person with my very own specific personal gender and a very scientifically awaken they, I couldn't agree more with you :)
I'm all for pronouns, but on New Year's morning that sentence is not so easy to parse.

Elon is buddies with DeSantis now. Remember when DeSantis tried to launch his campaign announcement live on twitter and it didn't work? https://www.theguardian.com/us... [theguardian.com]
Maybe those servers Elon unplugged actually did something? https://twitter.com/elonmusk/s... [twitter.com]

As a non American, can you explain that to me? I thought DeSantis was hard right GOP, and therefore doesn't believe in climate change or stopping people buying gas guzzlers.
Maybe I missed the sarcasm?

You have the story backwards. Wyoming's government passed a symbolic voluntary phase-out of EVs - not gas vehicles. So I was expressing my surprise that DeSantis hadn't doubled down on that idea, passing a mandatory phase-out of EVs in Florida.

Dang, thwarted by a weird time zone!
Re: (Score:2)
Yeah, I was thinking you were silly because obviously everybody in each time zone will have its own view of the "first post of 2024". The number of "first posts of 2024" should be at a maximum 24 plus the few time zones where they are off by half an hour, if someone from each timezone posted.

Correction: no need for somebody from each timezone to have posted, I am sorry.
Just change your locale (timezone) on your computer and you will be able to see "the first post of 2024" for each time zone.

It's using a time zone something like 8 hours ahead of my local time time zone.

Bizarre, for me Slashdot simply use the time zone I set my computer to for comments date/time.
No charges (Score:3)
Can't find any news that the guy that shot up the car thief was charged with anything. Likely ruled self defense.
Nice note to end the year on.
Notice something? (Score:2)
A curious absence of any Dunning-Krugerrand related stories, despite having to hear about shitcoins at least twice a day.

Oh. Now, instead of just having reposted threads, you're going to aggregate them?

Wow, a website that actually waits until the year has finished before releasing its review of the year.
