Hello! I like Linux, cute things, and to weave text into peculiar forms.
My mind is of two harmonious halves ~ creative-artistic & logical-analytical.

If you are curious to know about me more, you can read the verbose introduction in my pinned post. (=

Disgusting. Pausing my volunteer tablet driver contributions and any future Linux-related work until The Linux Foundation grows a bit of ethics. If they don’t change, I’ll look elsewhere. nostr...

@nprofile1q... The Linux Foundation is not a monolithic thing. It consists of many corporations, which, in turn, consist of many more humans.

And it does many things besides Linux, some of which are real head scratches (at least for me).

This is quite possibly, a random Joe or a random boss doing a thing without much thought. Or with thought of investors, neglecting which turn out bad for Ford, IIRC.

And over... this, the whole foundation seem rotten; lead by worst example, all in the world is bad (it isn't bad, if we include a bit more than the worst).

That is not to say that Linux Foundation is good; it is corporate alliance, to do its things, some of which related to Linux.

Now, with this more detailed picture, ask yourself... is it worth to assign the mega-blame... to a project worth billions (Linux kernel), given for free to all?

And, what this does actually accomplish? Do you think that generative AI actually uses tablets on Linux? Or maybe actual artists are using tablets? And Linux gives more freedom from corporate control, to 'em?

Your time is yours. And your decisions, are too. And you do lots of amazing, evocative, libre arts (& more). Just... here's a bit of food for thought, okay?

My partner is A/B testing cream tea, how's your day going? https://media.infosec.exchange/infosec.exchange/media_attachments/files/116/748/279/404/709/955/original/8a5dfd5ab317e6e4.jpg

@nprofile1q... My day is a lesson in chaos management (metaphorically speaking).

The hot weather forces me to think of new ways to cool down (e.g. I used water as sweat analog; tho this causes water droplets and may be not ideal for skin long-term, idk).

The brain fog causes me unable to be very productive, hence lots of time today I spent on socializing, which is still quite important (and to the best of my knowledge, the best source of human happiness; tho online interactions do not cover many ways to perceive things, I do admit).

The calorie counting felt too tiresome, so the "cheat meal" focused on filling all the nutritional gaps I could think of (no sugary desserts, just delicious, clean, varied food).

What can I do within constraints? What tricks do I have? What causes all this? Questions, searches, actions. All of this is very useful to squeeze lemonade out of lemons life gives me ~ such is my day today.

So... how did your A/B testing go? =)

Hm... tho I do wonder if the alt text already tells the results; or if it is just to confuse since it does not specify which half is 'correctly assembled'.
