Well I get the analogy, but also I think they didn’t use pencils because of the graphite and complications with filtering air or something.
91·1 month agoObsidian with self hosted live sync is what I switched to and found it’s actually better.
When I was a young warthog, I needed my first username. I thought to myself “what’s cool, that I can base my name on?” “Gansters are cool!” “How about Al Capone? He’s cool. He is even a good person. He invented milk expiration dates or something like that.” “But I can’t just have that name, I have to make it cooler. I’ll write it using l337 speak.”
Thus, my username “alkpwn” (plus some numbers because it was taken on Xbox live) was born.
Quickly, I realized people didn’t always understand it. They would have trouble pronouncing it when they saw it in halo 2. From “Al capn” to “Alk pawn”, I got all sorts of pronunciations.
My friends ended up just shortening it to Alk. And here we are.
It has its own page - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyper_Text_Coffee_Pot_Control_Protocol
Floorp and librewolf, among others.
Yeah that’s also true. But I switched to proton specifically to have LESS work managing automatic email aliases that are tied to instantly creatable passwords/accounts. I might look into bitwarden with their alias service integration. But I’m not looking forward to another transfer of all of my stuff. For this very specific set of features, really all I can see is bitwarden or proton, and I really hope bitwarden is as seamless and easy as proton because I do not have the mental energy to fiddle with it all the time.
Please no, no more shitty electron apps
Wow, that’s so many different services to splinter one Proton account into. I was thinking about it too, but that sounds exhausting.
I’m glad I could. I’m not usually one for words, but I realized I felt rather strongly about this art and had to write something down.
Thank you for making it particularly engaging.
This is how I interpret it personally, with no effort put in to attempting to discover the artist’s true intent.
I relate the the grungy, gritty, malformed and out of proportion art style with the overall narrative theme of Linux, freedom, anti-consumerism and post-collapse with the following logic:
With all of the hyper consumerism, anti-consumer behavior from corporations, ad-ridden web, and attempts to restrict digital freedom, we are exhausted. I have been so beaten down by the online hellscape, it has sapped my will and left me unstable. The uncomfortable character design embodies how I feel as a tech user. I am not healthy, I have no safe place to exist online unless I forge one for myself. I scrap together a system that works for me from small in-development projects. I don’t get to engage with the clean, shiny nice things because they’re all predatory.
My mental health, which is effected by all of this, is easy to relate to how the characters look like they feel like. It’s uncomfortable and unnatural, just like the state of existing online for an early internet user in current year.
The fight for personal freedom in software, culture, and economics is not a glorious one. It is a dirty, personal fight. You will get no help from the system. It is not easy. It is not clean. You will get lost. You will give things up. It will leave you unrelatable to some or all of your friends and coworkers. But you’ll have your scrappy little friends to help you, who are also in the same headspace.
This is why the comic looks the way it does, or at least this is how I choose to interpret it.
While the art style may be uncomfortable, it is highly relatable to me.
Just like how the possum memes came to be, for a more simple analogy. Possums are scraggly little folks that look annoyed, scared and dirty. The perfect animal to represent many neurodivergent individuals, which are who adopted the meme first. Identifying with imperfection or wounded mindset and using that identity to make light of or come to terms with that imperfection or wounded mindset is something becoming more common.
27·2 months agoThe bed is super weird. But it’s not weird in a lot of places for valentines gifts to extend to “anyone you love in any capacity” instead of strictly romantic love. My mom has given me chocolates and a valentines card every year since I can remember and it’s a normal thing around here.

Yeah, good idea, we can even make long lines of them in a well-organized convoy. Maybe the ones in front and back can control the ones in the middle.
Then to make sure they stay in formation, we can physically link them together, but with a bit of slack to turn and such.
In fact, we could even make special roads for these convoys so they get maximum fuel efficiency while also preventing them from accidentally drifting off of it. These roads would be exclusively used by these tesla convoys.
When these roads have to intersect with normal ones, we will give the convoys right of way, with some sort of movable barrier blocking the other cars from crossing.
Yeah, this idea is shaping up. Imagine all the people and cargo we could move with this hyper-efficient system.
