So France is now openly pro-~~ti~~fa. What's that short for again? Oh. Right. Fascist.

Holy shit. I'm glad I don't need anything in France.

I like this better.

The threaded conversations allow a useful interesting discussion to continue, even after some random person's comment details half the participants.

What's up with the Rust hate?

The Rust community keeps trying to rewrite key pieces of Linux that aren't broken.

They probably have the right idea, in the long run, but it's still fun to give them a hard time about it.

I find that con artists don't like to communicate slowly. It makes them uncomfortable.

Yes. Starfinder has planets, and some planets have caves.

I'm pleased to report that all those other promised utopia frameworks turned out perfect, and aren't in any way still a huge daily pain in the ass. I expect no less from this time around. Computers are finally smart. It's great.

It's the AI that is prone to delusions, or was that just me?

A little more time and a lot more money. But the savings will be huge. The savings will make the current era of extravagant burning piles of money look like a sound investment. You'll be glad you got in on the ground floor...

We do need a little more time, though. And money.

This one really shows Larson's willingness to put the work in to convey a silly joke with only the art details.

I have good news!?

...This isn't a particularly gendered problem.

It's an acronym: T.W.A.I.N. (edit: a backconym, as was pointed out - I've also heard that the weird upper case name came first, and the weirder acronym was added later.)

"Technology without an interesting name."

And... That's all I remember about it, at the moment.

Well, also that it broke often, and threw weird errors like the one pictured.

There's a couple of them, I think.

I found this one:

Altair Basic was released in 1978 for hardware that sold around 25,000 units..

I'm sure glad computing remained exactly equally complex since then, with exactly the same number of users, and same minimal diversity of use cases. (This is sarcasm.)

Everything should still take 10 days. Anyone who tells me it takes longer probably believes all that crap about the Internet being more than a passing fad. (Still sarcasm.)
