Tutto vero.

Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps? Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems? Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically? Why is this man not using dark mode, and how is the obvious and glaring light bleed at the bottom-left of his monitor just get accepted?
This picture, it frustrates me on many levels.
Pretty sure “That man” is Linus Torvalds and the light bleed is actually the desktop background (looks like a photo)
As for the rest… 🤷
Why is this man not using dark mode…
Not everyone likes dark mode. I can’t speak for Linus, but dark mode seriously bothers my eyes.

Why don’t you tell us about it?
And the weird-ass border probably due to the piss poor crop job (why not save the image instead of taking a screenshot?). I don’t know how people live like this.
Why is “ios” the only one not in all-caps?
iOS begins with a lower-case ‘i’, making this error more frequent.
Why does the apple hq list their mobile system while the other two list their desktop/workstation/server systems?
Apple’s most iconic product is the iPhone, but the meme compares software. So the ‘Apple’-item then becomes iOS.
Why does each get a different proportion of the screen/why aren’t they equally sized/why are they not stacked vertically?
The rule of three applies to jokes and typically dictates that the punchline is third and given extra emphasis. The layout reflects that tradition.

From what I’ve seen, Linus Thorvalds uses default work environments and doesn’t care much about hardware beyond functionality.
Also, the Linux man is using windows (default windows background plus windows explorer open).
Edit: yes, I was wrong. For every downvote this gets, I’ll install a distro without systemd in another computer.
Edit 2: y’all making me spend all my money on Void Linux licenses…
Looks like he’s using gnome, you can tell by the top bar. Also Linux man is Linus Torvalds and last I heard he used fedora. Which checks out since it uses gnome as default.
Huh, it seems you’re right. I guess I’ve been using plasma/hyprland for too long x_x
I didn’t recognize him, he looks so different when he’s not angrily flipping someone off.
You better say you use Arch before you get banned.
It is in my bio! Come on!
Well, the buildings, of course, are funded by anti-user-bullshit.
I’m pretty sure they only built the spaceship because Steve Jobs was dying and no one was willing to tell him no. They’re really proud of that shit
I mean, their entire design philosophy can be summed up as “form over function”, so a circular building with all of the problems that entails makes complete sense.
WFH before WFH was cool. That’s how cool it is.
IMO the apple campus looks like a urinal. Fittingly.
Don’t go into a bakery.
That’s the kind of nonsensically ominous warnings I’m looking for in a horoscope!
if that taurical building looks like a urinal to that guy, they should stay away from anything that has doughnuts and bagels.
So, what’s your horoscope for today?
“A stranger approaches”
Most things can be done with a lot less resources than you think
Not for getting billions in unnecessary funding from people with too much money and such poor decision-making that I wouldn’t trust them to house sit for me.
And the treadmill isn’t even in the picture!
Guess which one runs 99% of the internet.
Also, guess which one ALL of them run on their servers.
And yet I know which I trust more…
Ok this is a good one
Why are Linux, Windows uppercase? Where is macOS? Why is iOS lowercase?

WHAt
I had the same question. The author didn’t seem to employ the scientific rigor to call things by their correct names. It’s as if they’re treating it like spelling in a meme.
treating it like spelling in a meme
Is spelling things correctly in memes substantially harder than elsewhere?
Not really, but it is less rigurous and hardly ever enforced
iOS is lowercase for two reasons:
- Naming consistency. Since they are already name it iPhone, might as well name the OS the same way.
- The name was already in use. This may have not been as significant for choosing the name of Apple’s OS, but when the first iPhone released, Cisco IOS was already a family of operating systems for routers and network switches, and the Wii had already released a few months before, and they also called the console’s operating system(s) as IOS.
I’m talking about “ios” in the meme, not the properly stylized “iOS.”
Oops… I misunderstood the question then…
Pretty sure they’re talking about why the meme says, ‘WINDOWS’, ‘LINUX’, and ‘ios’.
Apple’s preferred spelling is that macOS and iOS not be capitalized, much like xkcd. But yeah, now that you mention it, that just says ‘ios’.
Darn lazy memers
It was always pretty humorous to me that Microsoft named its early-2000s mobile operating system “Windows Compact Edition” and abbreviated it (officially) as “WinCE”. The capitalization really mattered in this case.

So naive to think the bad guys did not steal the source code. The bad guys just don’t share the zero days and the good guys don’t get to see it.
Steal? Microsoft and Apple are the bad guys!
As a longtime Mac user, I remember when my OS became basically bigger iOS.

Money milkers vs Linux, wonder who wins?
kinda a tie tbh
needs less pants.
