"Tech companies are the most self-mythologizing industry on the planet, beating out even the pharma sector in boasting about their prowess and good corporate citizenship. They swear that they've made a functional digital lock…but they sure act like the only thing those locks do is let them sue people who reveal their workings." - @pluralistic

I remember when they took expert node out of Nautilus. That was the beginning of the end for me.

It wasn't until grk-sharp stalled and the tablet inspired version of Gnome came out that I switched wholesale to KDE (which still doesn't have a good C# story).



Novartis und Roche erzielen höchste Profitmargen. Aber das reicht ihnen nicht: Während sie in den USA den Präsidenten umgarnen, haben sie zu Hause in #Basel die Politik inklusive SP in der Tasche. Gewinnen sie am Sonntag an der Urne, kommen sie in den Genuss weiterer skandalöser Steuerprivilegien.

L'immagine mostra un trattore Fiat di colore arancione, posizionato in un garage con pareti in mattoni. Il trattore, con il logo "FIAT" ben visibile sulla griglia frontale, presenta segni di usura e polvere, suggerendo che non è stato utilizzato da un po'. La cabina del trattore è parzialmente coperta da pezzi di legno e cartone, indicando che potrebbe essere in fase di riparazione o conservazione. Il pavimento è sporco e ci sono segni di olio o liquidi scuri. Sullo sfondo, si vedono vari oggetti e attrezzi, tra cui una macchina da taglio a legno e un sacco di plastica, che contribuiscono a creare un'atmosfera di un garage o di un magazzino.
