LUG Board

It's about time we deprecated ACM.

  • Unlike ACM Cloud, we actually provide free web hosting and educate our members on self-hosting.
  • Unlike ACM AI, we actually provide GPUs to members, run our own free chatbot, and have members publishing in top conferences.
  • LUG finished first in the ACM Cyber CTF last spring, despite never going to a meeting. We had our own meeting on cybersecurity, anyway.
  • LUG is endorsed by the most GOATed CS professor (Eggert).
  • Unlike ACM ICPC, where they grind LeetCode Hards that are solvable by AI now, we regularly exercise our brains with IQ tests and Wordle.
  • Unlike ACM TeachLA, we actually educate our own students at our weekly meetings.
  • Unlike ACM Studio, we support video games that people will actually play by running a SuperTuxKart server, and educating users about Proton.
  • Unlike anyone in ACM, we are actually skilled with hardware, owing to our high representation of CEs, CSEs, and EEs.
  • We had at least one girl at every installfest this year, and we closed the rest of the gap by becoming femboys ACM W (more like ACM WOKE) utterly destroyed.
  • We never leave the terminal ACM Design utterly destroyed.
  • We generated our website from Markdown files using Hugo ACM Hack utterly destroyed.
  • Unlike ACM, we're not blacklisted from ordering from Enzo's Pizzeria, even after we ripped them off.
  • Unlike 90% of CS students, we actually daily drive Linux, not just SSH into it.
  • Unlike 90% of CS students, we actually give back to open source instead of leeching off of it.
  • We're laid back, we're not corporatized and we're owned by no one.
