This has to be my favorite @InspiroBot picture. Need to pin it in the profile.
In computers, there is nothing more permanent than a temporary name.
Effective marketing is when you manage to convince people that carbon dioxide counts as “crema”.
I sooooo love it when engineers try to mock designers. You know they believe they are the smart ones when doing so and don’t even realize idiotic they sound.

I just love it when popular podcasts give a platform to people who don't know what they're talking about.
I wrote a blohpost clearing out any confusion around libadwaita and the recoloring api and addressing all the fud spread from people that should have known better.

The idea of "alpha" and "beta" males is an outdated myth based on misinformation. There is not a single reported case of a wolf using the Greek alphabet throughout the entirety of recorded history. It does not reflect how wolves act in the wild.

The rpi specific packages I've looked so far, don't even bother with this since you can only find them on raspbian anyway, so they all have something like:
`Architecture: armhf`
I hope it’s abundantly clear by now that distributions care more about the screen hue matching their brand colors than their users and developers having a good experience.
In other news, TIL that you can “cancel” software features.
Oh how I love it when technbros keep using rightwing language and concepts, you know totally coincidentally..

Instagram started advertising #shitcoins to me. There's *so so many* of them. Everyone and their dog is launching a new ponzi scheme and calling it an "investment". One "coin" was just a Google Form — revolutionary tech!
There's also plenty of stolen art, but instead of usual mugs and t-shirts, they sell hashes of JSON blobs with Imgur URLs, and that is exactly like owning the Mona Lisa, apparently.
