The Linux Foundation had $300 million in revenue in 2025.

@ell1e @hbons @lfeurope I fear for the future of linux. , and we don't have viable alternatives...

@hbons @me_ I *love* the pictured *dual shutter protect* floppy disk that you can insert front or back, giving you faster access on critical files right after insertion, based on which sector is then closest to the read head!

@hbons Illustrator and designer are different roles, but your point is made.

The deeper question is how many people will notice the difference? Most people are semiotically unconscious. Images just fill a role in their environment. Details are not important to them.

@8r3n7 you don't need to explain to me my field...

[sethmarinello@mastodon.online]

@hbons sent them a grumpy mail on their contact form. I doubt they will care.

[8r3n7@mstdn.ca]

@hbons I wasn’t “explaining your field”. I was noting a questionable word usage. Moreover, adding context for other readers. Sorry to offend.

[hbons@mastodon.social]

@8r3n7 all good.

@hbons Double density

@hbons Not to be ableist, a penguin with mismatched number of toes is still a penguin, but I don't remember the mascot ever having been draw this way.

@hbons
this is one of the double sided floppies : D

@ptesarik @licho @hbons If we're being pedantic, the inch symbol isn't " (U+0022), it's ″ (U+2033).

@tante @hbons "open weight" is itself a propaganda term akin to "open binaries". You don't have the source, you don't know how it was processed, you just have a binary you can download and use. There's nothing open about it.

@hbons on the positive side it's free entertainment. It's like one of those "find all the mistakes" pictures

@hbons Thanks for adding alt text. Visual descriptions are intended to create equity between people, so avoiding the emotional gatekeeping when possible is appreciated. Uncensored descriptions help your point land in more places.

[lynx@ohai.social]

@hbons it's a dunce hat.

[isaackuo@spacey.space]

@dheadshot @hbons No, no Linux on Apple Lisa. No MMU, IIRC.

[spitfire@mastodon.de]

@linuxfoundation pathetic!

[kekunplazas@mamot.fr]

@hbons Don't copy that sloppy.

@licho @hbons <sarcasm> Technically that’s the original reversible connector. </sarcasm>
