The Revolution will be a teacup in a storm
Or a bottle in a message, or a door to a key!
The Revolution will always come with fries
Because the Revolution will be televised!

The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

@NanoRaptor@bitbang.social If the WorkBoy wasn't already a real thing, it would be a splendid accessory here.

@vga256@mastodon.tomodori.net Wow, and apparently the same developer had a different product *also* named after a Steve Jobs anecdote, so... maybe inspired? https://www.folklore.org/Calculator_Construction_Set.html

@cr1901@mastodon.social If you have to run apt install anyway, why not apt install node?

@cr1901@mastodon.social Can you make your CI runs build off Debian or Fedora rather than Ubuntu, so you don't need to depend on Canonical's infra?

@vga256 So the Observatory was originally reached by a winding path, rather than a weirdly mechanical secret passage? That does make more sense, now that I think about it. I wonder why they changed it.

@cr1901 It turns out you don't *necessarily* need to kill the rabbit, you just need to look at its ovaries. If you have a bunch of extremely skilled surgeons around, who are extremely bored and up for a challenge, there are alternatives.

@cr1901 That was in an episode of M*A*S*H, where Major Houlihan was worried she might be pregnant, and the only rabbit available was Radar's favourite pet.

In the late 1990s, Pangea Software was a leading developer of Mac-exclusive games. Apple commissioned them to write demonstration code for the first release of the Quickdraw 3D graphics API, and their subsequent games Nanosaur, Bugdom, and Cro-Mag Rally were bundled with various generations of Apple's iMac and iBook computers.

Nearly 30 years later, Pangea kindly released the source to these games under a Creative Commons license, and Iliyas Jorio has been porting them to modern platforms (Mac, Windows, Linux) to keep the games alive.
