The flatpak "app" system has always felt like amateurish techbro crap to me, but today I finally put my finger on why.

The website is loaded with how-tos for installing it & packaged applications ("apps"), but there's not even a hint of how to maintain, manage, remove, or update them.

It has a set of halfway decent manpages that *do* say how to do these things, but there's literally zero reference! You have to just know they exist, & you have to just know `man flatpak` is how you start.

Furries:
- understand that it can be challenging to recall names/faces.
- often get custom badges made with their name and cute art, to facilitate recognition.
- will sometimes wear those badges to things like large house parties.

More people should be like furries.

Arabic is one of the globe's most gorgeous languages. Its speakers wrote some of the finest prose. Yet it is also precise enough to be used by scientists and mathematicians. It is decorative enough to be bas relief in the world's most incredible buildings. Spoken, it is poetic, yet capable of an easy wit. As calligraphy, it's art. 1/3 of the stars in the sky have Arabic names.

But some clod can just breeze into CNN and call it ugly and not be challenged, and even invited back to do it again.

Casual racism against Arabs 

Some Israeli defender was on the news and dropped in that Arabic is a hateful sounding language and Jake Tapper was just like (nodding with interest)

We do this with China all the time too. Be as racist as you want to official enemies

I totally expect a Windows toy I haven't turned on in a year take four hours to install the complete suite of updates released in the interim.

I should know better by now, but I still never expect a Windows toy I haven't turned on in a year take four hours to install a single update. Not the suite. Just one.

Inspired by recent posts by @cstross I'm sure someone has made a corporate looking logo for the Torment Nexus before me but I couldn't find it, so here's my take.

Obviously there's inspiration from Weyland-Yutani with some tech company blue and friendly rounded corners.

The motto is widely attributed to Nicola Tesla. It's probably apocryphal but I think that's even more appropriate.
