• Two people arguing over the number 6 painted on the ground. One says, "Six!" and the other says, "Nine! Just because you are right doesn't mean I'm wrong. You just haven't seen it from my point of view!" The next panel zooms out to show the numbers 4, 5, 6, and 7 written and the first person responds, "Um, no. Just because your point of view doesn't see all the facts, it doesn't make you any less wrong." (remote)

Apple hired Larry David to do a sketch for WWDC 2014.

Apple execs had a panic attack when they saw the final sketch and buried it.

It leaked online in 2021. Apple removed it from every single leak and video website. Here it is again:

So a poll I've seen boosted around is showing that of about 5.5k fedi users polled a good 42% use Linux.

So that made me curious.

Distro families! Which do you primarily use?

Please boost for reach, am very curious.

• Office interaction comic strip depicting a nice-looking guy saying javascript keywords to a female workmate, who is elated, and a nerdy-looking guy saying C language keywords to the same female workmate who is then scared to death and proceeds to call HR to report him.

I was very delighted to discover there’s an active and thriving #BelieveInFilm community on Mastodon a while back. There’s a whole cluster of hashtags where you can find lovely analog pictures, like #FilmPhotography, #35mm, #MediumFormat and more.

Mastodon really got it right when they decided to call their RT-equivalent "boosts." A repost is not the same thing!!

There are a lot of artists who had "please do not repost" in their bios and they definitely were not talking about retweets

So conflicted regarding Citizen Lab's work. Their CVEs are outstanding, but the politically charged narratives and utter clickbait that they build around them continue to whitewash pure conjecture as investigative expertise.

Inside of you are two wolves.

One wolf wants to play bass in a bluegrass band.

The other wolf wants to play bass in a ska band.

Both wolves want their band to cover the Brinstar theme from the original NES Metroid.

Your wolves might just be a midlife crisis.

Also, tip for reply guy drivers. If you see somebody just involved in an accident, yelling out your window as you drive the other way, "You should get your cars over to the side of the road so you don't tie up traffic!" Really isn't as fucking helpful as you might think.

@isagalaev the ADHD part is when it happens for something that isn't particularly creative or demanding. It can happen for something routine; feels like my mental boots are glued to the floor and I just can't move forward.

I remember when you didn't log in to watch TV. You'd just turn on the TV, mess with the rabbit ears until the fuzziness and audio was tolerable, and if there was nothing on you wanted to watch, you'd eventually wander off and go do something else like read a book or magazine, or ride your terrible 3rd hand bike, or work on a craft....

Anyway, TV used to be so much worse, and yet it feels like it was better in some ways. I know, I know, old man yells at cloud... 😆

Today in my newfound life as a Frenchman: spent the morning running through the gardens of a French middle ages Château, carrying a baguette and an entire roasted duck.

Still managed a good running time somehow.

Each year, the ritual continued, just the same as the year before.

None of the developers knew exactly what day it would be, but they knew it would come. One morning, they would sit down with their Mac and suddenly find the fated hour had arrived: the machine had once again entirely forgotten what git was, and that it had ever been installed on this machine.

It was time for the cleansing. A trek into the forest of Xcode. Would it be mere moments? Hours? Or days this time?

The village prayed.
