Why the fuck would a cop do this??

Oh, Florida. That checks out.

I’m physically addicted to SwiftKey and it’s still very good, but, it is owned by Microsoft now in case that influences anyone’s decisions here.

Mariah just wants walkable cities and reliable public transportation. I can get behind that.

Like none of these people have ever seen a refrigerator before!

Does that mean you love me?

Do you think you could ever love me?

Santa Claus is my favorite pale male.

I dunno, Nestle owns basically the who’s-who of terrible processed food and snack brands. Avoiding them isn’t just good activism, it’s good for your health, too.

No, you really can’t.

I mean, in fairness, “vegetable” isn’t a scientific term at all, so whether potatoes are vegetables (or tubers, or roots, or something else) is totally up for debate.

But they’re a hell of a lot more of a vegetable than pizza is!

Gf: did you look for yourself?

Me: freezes

Reality’s an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold! Byeeee!

Jehova’s witnesses aren’t allowed to wear yellow come on. They can wear any other color though as long as it’s black or white.

I’m happy to see Inkscape continue to get big updates!

I recently got a pen plotter and Inkscape is the main way anyone feeds drawings into these things so it’s good to know it’s being looked after.

A timeless classic.

The infinite is attainable.

Nobody has mentioned one of the top purely technical reasons companies are reluctant to open source things: support.

I worked for a company that opened a UI design framework and people loved it, but the moment you have an outside audience, you can’t just make breaking changes or pivot the direction. You have to be sure your thing is completely stable before you open it up.

They felt they couldn’t move fast enough while supporting the open one, so they forked it and just maintained the public one so the private one could change faster.

There are costs to support. I’m not saying companies shouldn’t do it (Google does, all the time), bit smaller companies may not be able to afford it.
