@tk I would absolutely buy that image as an NFT for that money, provided it was actually released by David Thorne. It’s like a world-unique autograph, and I love that picture and that story.

Smartphones and tablets are here to stay. GUIs are a part of life.

The solution isn't to push users back to the command line. The solution must be to bring composability to the graphical environment.

@ie95mg0a whenever I remember GNOME exists in its current state, macOS suddenly starts looking a lot more attractive by comparison.

I had a cursed dream where if you wanted to get a woman pregnant you had to keep fucking her and the baby just slowly built like a progress bar, and if she got fucked by other men the baby would look different in stripes.

No I will not explain further.

@Linux_in_a_Bit Mint was doing it in the past but the copyright bullshit combined with maintenance costs made them stop.

Someone recently reminded me of a Polish saying/joke from the bad old days of communist rule: There is a kind of communism that works, layered communism.

Uber: your driver is 1.5 miles away

What part of that locale suggests I want to use medieval units? Does Uber assume that every English-speaking person is from the two third-world shitholes stuck still using them just because one of them is the United States? Does it do the same for Brits?

Pl: chrabąszcz majowy, częsty widok w większości Polski. Dopiero ostatnio dowiedziałem się jakie to jest ciekawe i egzotycznie wyglądające stworzenie, zawsze widziałem je jako buczące wpadające na wszystko bombowce albo (pół)martwe brzydkie robale leżące na plecach.

En: the maybeetle, a common sight in most of Poland. I have only recently learned how interesting and exotic-looking of an animal it is, previously seeing them mostly as the humming, running into everything bombers or the (semi-)dead ugly bugs laying on their backs.

"We need to make sure people can't extract data from our Unity game. Let's obfuscate some things so standard Unity tools can't handle the files"

"Splendid! The only way that will fall is if some turbo autist with experience in working with raw container formats is backed into a corner!"

*Some time later*

Hi! I'm a turbo autist with experience in working with raw container formats, and it looks an awful lot like you've backed me into a corner!
