I see your art all the time, and it's definitely not my cuppa tea. I don't get why it's appreciated, as it's disturbing to me. (Also I don't comprehend anything Linux)
Nevertheless, I wish you all the success.
Thank you for engaging with my content! Me neither!
I see it all the time and it's definitely my cuppa tea. Also Linux is cool.
Thank you for making it particularly engaging.
This is how I interpret it personally, with no effort put in to attempting to discover the artist's true intent.
I relate the the grungy, gritty, malformed and out of proportion art style with the overall narrative theme of Linux, freedom, anti-consumerism and post-collapse with the following logic:
With all of the hyper consumerism, anti-consumer behavior from corporations, ad-ridden web, and attempts to restrict digital freedom, we are exhausted. I have been so beaten down by the online hellscape, it has sapped my will and left me unstable. The uncomfortable character design embodies how I feel as a tech user. I am not healthy, I have no safe place to exist online unless I forge one for myself. I scrap together a system that works for me from small in-development projects. I don't get to engage with the clean, shiny nice things because they're all predatory.
My mental health, which is effected by all of this, is easy to relate to how the characters look like they feel like. It's uncomfortable and unnatural, just like the state of existing online for an early internet user in current year.
The fight for personal freedom in software, culture, and economics is not a glorious one. It is a dirty, personal fight. You will get no help from the system. It is not easy. It is not clean. You will get lost. You will give things up. It will leave you unrelatable to some or all of your friends and coworkers. But you'll have your scrappy little friends to help you, who are also in the same headspace.
This is why the comic looks the way it does, or at least this is how I choose to interpret it.
While the art style may be uncomfortable, it is highly relatable to me.
Just like how the possum memes came to be, for a more simple analogy. Possums are scraggly little folks that look annoyed, scared and dirty. The perfect animal to represent many neurodivergent individuals, which are who adopted the meme first. Identifying with imperfection or wounded mindset and using that identity to make light of or come to terms with that imperfection or wounded mindset is something becoming more common.
Thank you. You've put in words everything I've been feeling about this art.
I'm glad I could. I'm not usually one for words, but I realized I felt rather strongly about this art and had to write something down.
I love this interpretation, thanks for putting it into words
Thank you for including the bun, really ties it all together.
I did it for you and all bun-kind.
Does docker not conflict with the teachings of kierkegaard?
No, it is somewhere between level 0 and level 1 of the computing life!
Is your 3,5 gopher dead? I haven't seen him around for a while
yep, for now.
Docker is the leap of faith
I just want to say I love these so much, thanks for making them!
No idea what’s going on in the overall story though… gonna have to read the whole webcomic for that from the beginning. One of these days!
Happy to help entertain you!
There is no beginning
Red flag
This is exactly what happened. I swear.
I know...
GLADLY
Please do
whats not to love. it provides an excellent containerized, consistent environment to run server "apps".
you don't need to worry about issues with different setups, or how applications might interact with the system/eachother. its quick and easy to deploy without wasting time with boilerplate. it isolates applications from eachother in case a breach happens in one of them, and makes for slightly easier troubleshooting when one has an issue.
it makes server app management quick and brainless so you can focus on what you want from the server and, well, using it instead of managing it. like installing an app from the app store. or rather dockerhub.
Hell yeah, docked made running my services a lot easier.
does inferno have a mascot?
Dante Alighieri
gotta be the only thing whose mascot is just a real-ass guy
It doesn't run on my bun.
I think she likes you!
