  • 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.

    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?

    From what I’ve seen, Linus Thorvalds uses default work environments and doesn’t care much about hardware beyond functionality.


  • Vangers is a postapocalyptic and fundamentally strange top-down driving/exploration/mystery/action-RPG.

    It has a unique back story, hostile worlds and an intriguing and expansive vocabulary that helps tell the story. If you are the type of person that appreciates poetic neologisms because they get your brain going, guessing at the etymology and sucking up the layers of connotation, this is up your alley.

    Even if you manage to complete the game, you’ll be left wondering whether what happened was even meant to happen. It’s sort of post modern with deconstructed words, rituals and behaviors all jumbled up and muddled together as a result of a great and important event that once had meaning to creatures that may no longer even exist.
