@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

@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.

@hbons it's a dunce hat.

@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>

>"built by a community that never stops learning"

So when are you gonna learn to hire human designers?

[me_@sueden.social]

@dheadshot @hbons No Linux, but Microsoft Xenix (!) and Unisoft System V… but the Twiggy drives in the Lisa 1 were 5.25“ ones, so this is perhaps the long lost 3.5“ Twiggy successor?
