The beast and rider vaguely make up the “A” shape of the Arch Linux logo.

Maybe unintenional self-slaughter?

I suspect this is unpopular in the tech community, but if this were truly an unpopular opinion, then phones without a headphone jack wouldn’t sell, and they would be replaced in the next generation. Instead, it seems like I get fewer and fewer options each time I look for a phone at the intersection of qualities that matter to me (unlocked bootloader, sd card, headphone jack).

I’m not sure I would call it “petty”… :)

I remember watching this farmer make a case otherwise, that ordinary bramble (?) is specialized to ensnare and trap fluffy sheep, providing chemical nutrients to the bush.

x86 tablets are a thing

To me that seems like it would only increase the collection’s value… one would want to train LLMs on good stuff, instead of garbage.

Apart from clearing the benches, I’m not sure (what I know as) baseball would qualify as combat.

Maybe we need an anti-memes sublemmy…

An emotional-support gun?

How much red could a red-hat hat…

I actually had a use-case for a smart switch (I wanted it to automatically turn off after a certain amount of time). In the end, I went back to a dumb-switch after a frustrating diagnosis, maybe I’m biased/lucky to never have had a light-switch fail, but I didn’t even consider it as the potential fault until I electrically proved it…

Like CO2 lasers, I wonder if it can be damaging to the human eye, even if invisible.

How fortunate, I was just looking for such a thing!

Wondering about those “making citizens” instructions on the wall.

lol… if they had a job that was ONLY writing unit tests, I would take it!

Kind of the reverse… more lamenting the loss of QA and SRE roles in favor of mechanical (AI) code reviewers and non-technical persons rubber-stamping an increasingly deep pipeline that change requests must traverse.

I know, right? Thermostats have worked since (and were invented some time in) the 1600’s, but now… no, no no… we’ve got to loop in “the whole internet” as a dependency (not to mention one’s smartphone, and probably a payment system for an ongoing monthly subscription). Even with the incentive of being continuously paid, they can’t keep it working, because it has gotten too complex and greed has gummed up the gears.
