Linux Musk sounds like the evil counterpart to Mint. A fork of Red Star OS, etc.
Well there was a game on the C64 called Quake Minus One...
Reminds me of a TV ad, older than this comic, for a frosted cereal (probably not the first one that comes to mind) and the adult about to consume them has the inner dialogue "What about fat?!" "Wimp!"
(I always heard it as "Wamp!", so to this day I'm not completely sure if it was an early example of a spoken sad trombone, but "Wimp!" is more likely.)
They don't make ads like that any more.
Some Linux packages have WebKit as a dependency and that often has something called MiniBrowser installed as, well, precisely what it says it is. Not sure if it's available on Windows, but it's OK in a pinch.
There are a few other lesser known browsers, not in the main families, that are currently in development too.
GNOME and its applications have been headed in that direction for a while now, but I'm not sure Canonical are behind those changes. If they were, I'm sure they would have done something about GNOME apps looking alien on Xubuntu, for example.
As that link suggests, the Mint team are looking to produce apps that run on any desktop environment, forking GNOME apps that don't comply with that. Hopefully that keeps the momentum going for that sort of thing.
Me? I'd be the muggliest of muggles except for certain knowledge a witch implanted in my brain. And it's since transpired that she was the one who should not be named all along.
Important: The article mentions that they are being replaced not that the SAC is being done away with completely.
On the other hand:
Twitch declined to comment on whether the [new council members] would be paid.
The text I replaced there is "ambassadors", that is, Twitch ambassadors, people given a title that means nothing outside of Twitch, but is the only payment these people will be getting, outside, perhaps, a sense of pride and accomplishment.
I never said that the way they've gone about it is the best way to have gone about it.
Frankly, I'm not even sure what that would be, only that this ain't it.
This has bell curve meme vibes. I'm just not sure what the middle guy would be saying.
It's not about whether it works, it's about proving that they're keeping pace with the trends in technology that they're not directly driving.
They're afraid that if they don't give that impression, their stockholders will pull their money and give it to someone who does, and since that's what their stockholders also fear about all the other stockholders, that's what will happen.
AI funding is so far up it's own backside I'm not sure they'll hear the cry of the small child pointing out that this Emperor has no clothes.

fedia.io had disabled sign-ups when I last looked. Ended up on kbin.run instead. Despite the name, it's also an Mbin instance.
