Cat looking at a Rocky Linux logo on an old PC. Original image is probably from an IBM ad but I can't actually find the source.

Not AI. Just cropped and skewed a scanline-filtered Rocky Linux logo onto the screen in GIMP. Only artisanal handmade shitposts here.

Nah, we have a flag.
A flag hung on a wall: It features the 6-stripe Gilbert Baker rainbow flag, with a "Cool Crab" over it. The crab is wearing sunglasses and holding a can of cola.

Also on the subject of #HeatedRivalry, specifically the elevator scene, most elevators are "selective collective." Up hall calls are answered on the way up and down hall calls are answered on the way down. Yuna either placed an up hall call or both an up and down hall call. Made for great TV.

Debian Linux was officially founded by Ian Murdock on August 16, 1993. That's 32 years of stable, free, and opensource computing. From a single kernel, it has grown to parent some of the most popular OSes in the world. Happy 32nd birthday to the beloved mother of all distros! 🥰 🍰

since it's the last day of pride month I figured I'd at least make one thing for it... i now unveil to you my greatest invention: color bars pride flag
An LGBTQ+ pride flag formatted in the layout of the SMPTE "color bars" test pattern used for broadcast television. The first set of columns use the colors of the gay pride flag, with the addition of the original SMPTE color on the final column. The second set of columns contains two pride flags - the pansexual flag horizontally, and the asexual flag flipped and horizontal. The final set of columns contains the three colors of the transgender flag and the two POC-inclusive colors, followed by the original bar gradient from the SMPTE ECR-1-1978 pattern.

Found an old video tape with hours of Pokémon Indigo League episodes taped off WPGH-TV. Oh how I wish I could go back to the 1990s even for just an hour. Watching this tape takes me right back to a different era.

Every time there's a new major Linux distro release I consider jumping back over from Windows. But then I run into some annoyance with the Linux desktop experience that sends me right back. Rinse and repeat for the past 15 years or so.

(2/2) The movie was good, the set true to the original, and of course many divergences from reality. One most surprising thing was that they didn't use the five original light patterns on their replica of the game board. An odd decision considering it's the entire reason he won so much money.

On occasion this tweet pops into my head and I think about how I am one of probably a few people on this planet who can relate. No, listening to it 264 times is not doing it. There is no overdoing it. I still want KDKA-TV Prime on all streaming platforms. It's just that good.
A tweet from @jcburns on X/Twitter: "In an effort to celebrate individuality in tv news music, I listened to 'KDKA Prime' theme 264 times today.  Might have been overdoing it."
