The devil is in the details. Different contracts state different usages.

Often, I’m hired to make things for folk, and they own it entirely. I see these things out in the world, I sometimes see other artists hired to butcher it to fit a new purpose. But that’s OK, I account for that, and often I hand over the source files from the things I make… Layered documents etc.

However, there’s a really disturbing trend of large companies appropriating fan art and claiming that because they own the IP any derivatives belong to them too. This is far ickier.

The main thing though is credit. You’d think that giving a nod to the original artist would be nice. It costs nothing and can have a massive impact on their business.

Not viruses as such, at least according to the inventor of the term, rather they are already part of our inheritable structure, our DNA (so to speak) seeking new ways to be inherited.

We are our memes.

I’m sorry, “lenchings” is not a word in this puzzle, or the dictionary. Watch this ad to gain another credit and gave another guess.

Yeah, and fractions of that stone? Pounds.

So like 10 stone 5 pounds.

Or, conversely, just switch to Linux.

Take an hour or so to have a look around the place.

Go on the internet if you have any questions.

People are smarter than you assume and if you want Linux to grow in popularity we need to stop pretending any if this is difficult.

I think some folk want to pretend using Linux is hard so that they can feel more… Uh… Technical for using it.

You know we use pounds as a weight measurement too, right?

Some countries use imperial measurements, others metric, but the UK enjoys both.

features with a high degree of customizability - you can swap out the back cover, and also attach things like a lanyard.

Ooooh, a lanyard strap… That’s the sort of right to repair we’ve all been after.

Adore the darktable gang.

John Wayne Gacy feels snubbed.

Seconded. I keep trying others. I tried feedly for a while. I also tried readyou (which I still keep on my phone)… But nothing comes as close to inoreader for doing what I want.

Also, I’ve learnt how to aggregate other feeds into a single feed to pass them into it to get around the 150 limit. Not ideal, but I’m cheap.

I was so glad when we slipped out of the bulbous silver aesthetic.

Everything looking like a Tonka toy Geiger.

And now I look at it and it seems like home.

I feef you.

6 feef.

You’re awesome.

This is really good. Clear and well laid out.

The only thing that might confuse some beginners is your specific choice of package manager.

Windoes!

I just meant that Linux, even in these communities is posited as something you try after windows rather than go to first.

Look, I know there’s a certain romantic notion that Linux is “the rebel choice”, but the truth is that it is the normcore backbone of the internet and the go to OS of a ton of academic ecologies.

So yeah, kinda obvious, when you think about it.

Yeah, I don’t mind. Everyone has a survivor story.

Although it is interesting isn’t it… That Linux usage is still seen in opposition to the horrors of windows. I mean, few come here talking about adopting in spite of having a great time with windows, or even without mentioning it at all.

I hope that one day it isn’t seen as an alternative to but as a thing in its own right.
