Found a cool little #Linux app on GitHub. Clone the repo and build it. Used it daily. Found a bug. Reported it. No response. Turns out, the developer's been dead for 5 years. Yet, the updates never stopped. Spooky, yet efficient! 👻🤖 Perfect!!!

An old GIF of the Linux logo with glowing fire around the word 'Linux'. 🔥

You wanted to try Vim. 😜 Other devs spoke highly of how lightweight and versatile it was. ✨ You tried it, but found it a bit unintuitive. 🤔 You realized you didn't know how to exit the program. 😰 The instructions the others gave you made no sense. 🤯 (":q!" they said... WTF?!) You realized you didn't remember how you entered Vim. You didn't remember when you entered Vim. It had just always been open. It always would be. 😱

May the odds be ever in your favor. 🙏 The end.

Good #linux and #unix #sysadmin comes from experience , and a lot of that comes from typing bad commands 😭

@Rin3d yes, now you get to vote twice :P

Me: Joins computer science hoping to build cool games. 🎮

CS: Hold on there! First, you must conquer the mountain of mathematics! ⛰️

Me: Wait, it's all math? 🤯

CS: Always has been, from day 0 😈

@alison @mangelucci You need multiple images to build responsive images with <img tag. It has a srcset and sizes option that is specially for that. Some CMS, like WP, do this by default, while others need manual solutions. See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Multimedia_and_embedding/Responsive_images for more info.

OpenAI projects its revenue to increase to $11.6 billion next financial year. OpenAI and other tech bros are against the EU AI Act, which requires transparency as per EU copyright law. They are against this law. They don't want to pay for any copyrighted text/images/videos or any copyright restrictions for AI training, as per Sam Altman, who is an entitled billionaire brat who thinks he is a special person, and the EU zone must allow him to do as he wishes. He is responsible for massive job loss

If you're building shity AI products, support artists. Don't steal their work. Respect their livelihoods and well-being/health care. Pay them fairly.

More Than 11,500 Artists Unite in Fight Against AI Companies' 'Unjust' Use of Creative Works': The unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI is a major, unjust threat to the livelihoods of the people behind those works, and must not be permitted

Please boost for all your artist friends and family. Let us end this copyright theft by OpenAI, Microsoft, Perplexity, and tech bros.
