David Pope captures it beautifully.

Cartoon by David Pope titled "Tall Poppy Syndrome".
ABC reporter John Lyons stands holding a microphone amongst reporters bowing flat sycophantically before Donald Trump. Trump points at him and says "Tell the Australian Prime Minister to weed thus one out."

@deadsuperhero Hang in there

Gotta hand it to the authorities. At first, I was mad when they scrubbed the Banksy, but they have unintentionally made one of the most powerful artworks of all time.
Everything they do to hide or erase it makes it look more poignant than the original.

A photograph of a "reverse graffiti" street art piece, likely by the artist Banksy. The artwork is created by cleaning a grimy stone wall, so the image appears as a dark silhouette against the lighter, cleaned stone.

@georgetakei that is oppressor talk. Every minority in the world is suffering under violence. They should stand up against it.

@dymaxion @quinn @mikemccaffrey TIL Etsy witch curses. Another thing that I didn't know I needed until the internet enlightened me.

@Free_Press hectic.

@burnoutqueen @kittylyst @mhd Probably significantly cheaper and several factors more sustainable too

I seem to be an expert at accidentally forkbombing myself in new and interesting ways.

@rl_dane Then Debian will say "Hold my beer here's a 64 bit hurd kernel with a shim to load drivers from netbsd!"

Debian 13 is finally the release where I can use Wayland for my day to day work. Haven't had any freezes or glitches yet, all my software works. Perhaps there's still issues that I'll hit, but it's probably at the point where the amount of papercuts and small issues are about the same on GNOME on Xorg and on Wayland, so this is probably the point of no turning back, at least for me.

@bagder And Audi spent $$$ on buying an audi TLD!

An Open Source sustainability story in two slides. (for a coming talk of mine)

Slide 1: car brands using
Slide 2: car brands sponsoring or paying for support

38 known car brands a blank slide

@georgetakei So maybe they were. Pales in comparison with all the shit that she pulls off.

@debian Don't forget the cakes.

Cake has landed, now I just need to dig up some multiplugs and wait for the ISOs to build and crowd to show up to help test! Happy Trixie day everyone! #debian

@confluency @timixretroplays I was in France earlier this month and initially I was a bit surprised to see how runny their crêpes liquid were... and yet... the crêpes came out perfectly fine!

@jwildeboer Indeed, that part I 100% agree with!

@jwildeboer Sounds like a bit of a cop out to be honest. Most of the most vulnerable people in the world have literally no one to help them and need a voice.
