My new Debian install is finally done. Are they eventually going to run out of toy story characters?

@valleyforge Probably not as there are 4 films and quite a few characters.

@zleap @valleyforge

"Debian 1.1 was the first release with a codename. It was named Buzz after the Toy Story character Buzz Lightyear. It was in 1996 and Bruce Perens had taken over leadership of the Project from Ian Murdock. … This is symbolic in the sense that Debian Unstable might break your system with untested packages."

"I'm surprised it isn't in the WP article but the names are taken from TS because early on some elements of Debian were hosted by Pixar and Bruce Perens was employed there ca. Debian v0.93 and it was while the first TS was being made/released."

@lucifargundam @zleap my napkin-math says there are roughly enough toystory characters to continue this rate until 2309. Assuming 4 movies, 40 characters per movie, and one release every other year, minus the 16 releases already

@lucifargundam @zleap 40 characters per movie might be high. I havent watched toystory in awhile

@valleyforge @zleap
According to toystoryfanatic.fandom.com/wik there are 63 formally introduced characters, and over 100 if you include background characters.

@lucifargundam @zleap So in 2114 they'll have to start using background characters

@valleyforge @zleap that's not including any future expansions to the toy story universe- like the Buzz Light-year movie that's coming out soon.

@lucifargundam @zleap This is the first time I've heard of the Buzz Lightyear movie but the trailer is really something.

@valleyforge @lucifargundam We should go watch the movie at the cinema but wear debian related gear, e.g tshirts, hats etc :D
