Apparently the first "Beastie" (never named as such by Kirk) was drawn by the artist for https://www.girlgeniusonline.com Phil Foglio

I learned this at the BSDCan 2025 talk Kirk gave!

Openbaar vervoer zou als doel moeten hebben

ZOVEEL MOGELIJK PASSAGIERS VERVOEREN
en niet
HOE HARKEN WE ZOVEEL MOGELIJK GELD BINNEN

Vraag eens hoeveel zo'n snelweg opbrengt en hoeveel uur vd dag (21) die niet maximaal benut wordt

Oh look, today's email features email sent via Google who despite forcing ridiculous and unnecessary change upon the entire email industry is totally unable to stop being the number one source of spam. I'll totally get right on the demands from ai.master.20250@gmail.com that link to dream-estimation.com.

GOOGLE: GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER AND STOP PUSHING EVERYBODY ELSE TO CLEAN UP YOUR INCOMPETENCE.

Are you tired of seeing homeless people doing drugs and having sex in public places? House them, so they can do those things at home like everybody else.

Voor iedere kilometer weg die we nog bouwen, moeten we er minstens twee afbreken. “Een noodzakelijke hersteloperatie”, stelt architect Tim Vekemans. Volgens fietsprofessor Marco te Brömmelstroet is het na jaren van automatisch asfalteren tijd voor ‘infrastructurele Jenga’: weghalen wat weg mag en de ruimte echt openbaar maken.

“Wegen wegnemen is minder radicaal dan een landschap betonneren”

Architect Tim Vekemans en fietsprofessor Marco te Brömmelstroet doorbreken de verhardingscultuur.

I rarely subtoot, but when I do just to say: if an open source project that your commercial project depends on breaks something in your software stack, causing you trouble, no matter how much, that's your problem and your problem alone.

"The software is provided as is" is a part of OSS licenses for a reason, and unless we have a contract that says otherwise, I'm not part of your bloody "supply chain".

@aesthr @filippo Agreed. Any mistake in code I wrote isn't my responsibility to fix, if you use it via a FOSS licence. Once you obtain any source code, it is your job to check it, port it, fix it, fork it and maintain it if you want to use it without error. This attitude of it's a "free for all buffet" of "zero consequences" for me because I forked or used your code is borderline derangement. Reading the licence agreement and taking ownership of what you use is how it's always worked
