HEY. Do you want a pride system icon with your flag of choice? (Finder, KDE Home or other icons)

The contractor dipshit fixing the cut fiber line at my workshop is ghosting my ISP so I'm *still* completely unable to do any retro computing stuff (and have been for over a week now ;-;)

In order to help me not go completely stir crazy (even Factorio isn't helping)

I'm still doing these fun little "Pride Flag edits" of various system icons (Finder, KDE Home etc)

IF YOU WOULD LIKE ONE

- Gibe me $5 via Ko-Fi

https://ko-fi.com/CursedSilicon

- Tell me what icon and flag you would like!

- Send me an SVG of the icon of your choice

In exchange I'll send you a super high res PNG and the PSD. You can then do whatever you want with it <3

I sometimes think about how if open source had never happened at scale, and all LLMs had to train on was proprietary code, how different things might look right now. Breaks my heart; sharing code openly has been a huge part of my life and belief system for so long, and I was so convinced that the good that it did outweighed the bad actors taking advantage. I never imagined that the bad actors would win by automating their behaviour

"Shaun that's not very class conscious of you, that guy is just trying to make ends meet!"

Nah fuck that. Contractors are a bees dick above scabs

The only reason they exist is because the ISP's are terrified of hiring new field techs because that's UNIONIZED work

Support fucking union workers

This "independent contractor" Ziply Fiber hired to do a fiber repair has now ghosted both me and the project manager lady two goddamn days in a row

At this point I've dropped all pretense with Ziply Fiber

Give me a *union* field technician. Don't fob me off to your worthless contractors at Pacific Cable

I feel like if I gave this dude a "strongly worded letter" from any kind of legal authority he'd fold like tissue paper
