The use of all caps for Xbox is a return to original form, though. Microsoft’s first Xbox logo for its console was all caps, and the company has favored using similar capped versions for the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X / S console logos.

Especially since, if you actually wanted to keep it under wraps, you would not be talking about it.
There were leaks of Mythos on the day it was announced, because once the name was known, it was trivial to find the download URL at one of the distributors.
It’s a reference to another Microsoft classic: https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/microsoft-caught-plagiarizing-graphics-with-ai-slop-microsoft-continvoucly-morged-my-diagram-there-for-sure
Yeah, could’ve maybe thrown in some female celebrity names and made it the challenge that they know Serena Williams famously plays tennis…
Apparently, that’s American English. And for whatever reason, it’s the British that are less hoity toity about it:
- “brackets” or round brackets ( )
- square brackets [ ]
- curly brackets { }
Yeah, differentiating between multiplications vs. divisions and additions vs. subtractions doesn’t make sense, because they’re the same thing respectively, just written differently.
When you divide by 3, you can also multiply by ⅓.
When you subtract 7, you can also add -7.There is one quirk to be aware of, though. When people notate a division with a long horizontal line, that implies parentheses around both of the expressions, top and bottom.
Hmm, what distro? I don’t use Krita regularly, but never seen it have lots of desktop files.
I do be on KDE, though, so might also be some KDE-specific fix, I guess…
The problem with these kind of arguments is always that animals also eat plants. If the animals are grazing 100% of the time, then maybe you don’t get pesticides with that (you certainly still get cow shit). But the meat industry does now regularly feed soy and corn to the animals, to bulk them up as quickly as possible, so in the end you get antibiotics, feces, digested feces and pesticides altogether.
This kind of thing: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urinal_target
Also worth saying that for animals, when someone nibbles off your arm, that’s a serious injury which can strongly affect your survival chances. For plants, that’s just a regular workday.
Kind of been my hardest lesson in keeping houseplants, too. Seemingly most plants need to be nibbled on (or ya know, get cut back), otherwise they will try to grow towards the sky and hurt themselves in the process.
I’ve killed two basil plants, because you look away for one second and they just grow half a meter tall. To support the weight, they become woody at the base. And eventually, they can’t sustain the leaves at the top anymore, but when you cut them down to the woody part, they can’t grow leaves on that anymore, so RIP… 🫠
It certainly does!
…but, uh, well, it’s a widely-spaced monospace font in this case. That’s the one situation where kerning actually cannot matter.
Which seems intentional. I believe, the cartoonist is being more clever here and referencing a common ligature, specifically the first of these two:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ligature_(writing)
Presumably the two letters got written together so often in this futuristic universe, that “fi” has actually become its own letter. Like how in German the “ß” came to be from a ligature of a long S (ſ) and a Z (which was written as ʒ), so together “ſʒ”.
Maybe someone who’s deep into Simpsons lore can confirm that theory. 😅
Having a third arm, so you can continue typing and also facepalm at the same time does seem quite good.
Could be that he has low vision on his left eye.
You often see that with kids when they get their first set of (very thick) glasses. Before, their eyes just drift off into all kinds of directions, because they don’t see anything sharp anyways.
And then you pop on the glasses, and they immediately move their eyeball into the correct direction.
It’s a mockup I found on image search (from searching “neobrutalism GUI” or the like): https://www.magnific.com/premium-vector/hand-drawn-neo-brutalism-ui-elements-collection_186004756.htm
And yeah, that theme you linked is already pretty cool. Not terribly enamored with the retro aesthetic personally (especially with bad contrast like here), but if that can be done with KDE/Kvantum, then an actual neobrutalist theme, or just one with the papercuts fixed, is likely just as possible…
Huh, for me it’s more of a “Womedimes I yet sad”…
I genuinely had trouble recognizing the word because of that. Thought they meant “viola” at first. 🥴
Well, this kind of design language is actually referred to as “neobrutalism”, so you might find a theme under this name. But from what I’ve seen so far, it’s mostly a thing in web design at this point…
The funny part is that upon reading your question, I figured surely the Wikipedia page would have that information. Then I saw that it said in the first few words:
…which links back to the same article. Which is how I found out that the article answers your question. 🙃
