It's hard to imagine something as fundamental to computing as the sudo command becoming abandonware, yet here we are: its solitary maintainer is asking for help to keep the project alive.

It reminds me somehow on the famous xkcd webcomic: https://xkcd.com/2347

Edit for an addition: Maybe it's also a reminder that we should frequently donate when we use FOSS.

    Really? You want to post slop on Lemmy? That’s what went through your brain? That’s what you considered a good enough idea that you’d execute it?

    Not just AI slop but a right wing dog whistle as AI slop.

    The third frame here needs to be the same businessman in increasingly more fancy suits or gold or other gaudy-ass shit.

    Yeah, the transition from the third frame to the fourth frame just doesn't make sense as currently depicted; why would people playing video games suddenly start to revolt?

    However, if the third frame were to depict rich men getting richer as you suggest, then the revolt in the fourth frame would make more sense.

    You're putting way too much thought into analyzing AI slop
