the gradually changing typeface is a very nice touch

it’s possible

iirc the Linux kernel dropped support for pre-Pentium x86 in the last few years, so any distro with 486 support now would be using an unmaintained kernel.

I think if you want a maintained operating system for your 486 today, NetBSD is probably the thing to run.

some number of the dozens of people who upvoted this now incorrectly believe that hegseth has a tattoo with a funny misspelling. how does it being a meme make promulgating misinformation about about consequential people a good idea? 🤔

Not everything is AI buddy. Plus it’s funny no?

i meant “AI” in this sense. and sure, it is sort of funny, but it’s also, imo… shitty, actually, to cause people to believe ridiculous-and-untrue things (especially about someone like hegseth) because if/when they find out that they were misled it tends to sow doubt about the many ridiculous-but-true things they’ve also learned about him.

The TUI-based shop is a cute gimmick but they are insufficiently committed to the bit: when i went to checkout it told me that i need an ssh key and directed me to the FAQ… on their website 😢

i guess this isn’t a problem for ssh users who (a) have at least one ssh key in their environment and (b) don’t set IdentitiesOnly yes (and thus send a list of all of their ssh keys to every host they connect to) but it’s weird that they didn’t bother to include their FAQ in their ssh TUI.

i still don’t understand why it is so common for journalists to write a whole article about a single tweet and not link to it.

i’m not a physicist but iiuc orbiting the sun is actually pretty necessary 🤔

The colors match? It’s true the color next to the Côte d’Ivoire label does correspond with a blob which could overlap with the country’s actual location, but… none of the countries depicted here correspond with the shapes of any actual countries. The entire thing is generative slop.
