@crazyeddie @tante @hbons UCF is a tool for taking all your requirements docs and lining them up in a way that you can say that fulfilling §5.1.4 of A also fulfills requirements B:27-2 and C:15.5. It also is a fucking web app checklist that someone can go through and fill out and print reports on to yell at people for not having all their T’s crossed and i’s dotted.
UCF sounds similar to stuff I used.
Using them gave me the idea to use git for such tracibility. Acceptance criteria in Gherkin or something. UML/SysML models created in the git database that link that to the code that passes it. Signed commits (an extended version) to officially approve the states of things.
You could generate any number of reports from this to create packages for regulatory approval. No idea if it would actually get through that process tho.

@hbons Could of easily thrown a party hat on top of the Linux logo, using GIMP. With a solid or gradient background.

@hbons Linux Foundation is not Linux, even if the original maker of Linux is in their payroll.
But they use his work to whitewash their shady business.

@Fedihacker I know that.

poor flops.
@hbons
I *suppose* it could be one of those double-ended Apple Lisa disks, but I don't think Linux was ever ported to them? -
@Fedihacker I know that.
@hbons Just stating a fact that makes this slop more awful.

“We never stop learning!” I scream as I surrender the last of my cognitive facilities to the machine.

@hbons why are these floating?
@iain and what is casting the weirdo shadow next to the books?

@crazyeddie @tante @hbons Cucumber/Gherkin looks interesting as a way to translate human-readable statements into tests.
I need to learn about git-annotate at some point… -

Oh my slopping god that is so bad. -
@hbons given they (apparently) also won't answer inquiries about AI use in the kernel https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/e12330b9-c29e-45ca-9375-9e3d13426d85@horse64.org/T/ I can't say I'm particularly surprised. They're on Mastodon btw, @lfeurope

@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.

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

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

@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.
