Here is a postcard‑worthy image of a female northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis).

But yeah, condensed in a single toot because I always delay writing important stuff when it's time (i.e. my predictions BEFORE it happens).
FWIW, that's literally how they're justifying themselves.

@oblomov you went from zero to Godwin super-fast.

@fuzzy @stefano for a second there I wondered how the Transmission Control Protocol could have a smell :D

The more time passes, the more I regret never writing my series of articles on #FLOSS myths since at least 2016. (Yes, that's 10 years ago, and that's *at the minimum*.)
One of the articles of the series would have been about the “corporatization” of FLOSS (i.e. corporations taking over key elements of the FLOSS ecosystem, and how that would have affected the future of FLOSS).
The main reason why I regret not dedicating time to that write-up is that I actually love saying «I was right».

#FLOSS developers adding age verification controls nobody asked for:

Because that worked SO WELL in the past as an excuse.

Ze Frank's The Show was self-hosted QuickTime videos on a blog with comments and an RSS feed. A community forum, wiki, and series of interactive web pages tied it all together. Social media was a bunch of blogs linking to each other. Facebook opened to everyone in September of that year, Google bought YouTube in November, Steve Jobs announced the first iPhone in January 2007. Twitter blew up at SXSW in March and iPhone came out in June, the beginning of the end for the dominant open social web.

@stefano oh no!
I used to go overboard with TCP on the face. No-one on the bus ever said anything, but it must have been awful for fellow passengers.
"There is undoubtedly a magic ingredient in TCP that keeps the user immune from its ghastly pervading smell. Either the user is so immersed in the stuff they can't smell it or they become the odour-free eye of a TCP storm …"
