I write software and music from time to time
It is somewhat surprising that there still isn't any guidance for users effected by the AUR issues over the last couple days. I would have expected cleanup instructions to start showing up by now.
This sewing pattern thought I needed several pages of background on Rosie the Riveter, but then the instructions are just "sew the seams together." Who thought this was a reasonable thing to sell?

Slowly being driven crazy by the brand new AC unit running next door with a 100% duty cycle for the last few days.
Just like physical labor trades your body’s health for money, I feel like more and more tech jobs are trading our mental health for money.

I posit that app icons serve 2 purposes.

1. Ideally, to convey some aspect of what the app does.

2. To provide a consistent visual for the user to make it easy to find the app on a crowded field of icons.

So, having said that, WHY THE FUCK do companies keep changing the icons of their core apps?? (Looking your way Google)

Are you purposefully trying to hide your products from me and make me hunt for them? 😡

I've suggested guillotine as a solution to various problems in the past, and facetiously replied to many an argument with a link to the Wikipedia page for the guillotine.

But this article. This stopped me. Made me think. Hex is right. If you can use a guillotine, you've already won, and are just enacting violence.

This article is worth a read.
