Tutto vero.

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.
And only one of them would not have a thousand new security vulnerabilities the same day that the source code could be seen by the bad guys.
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!
Omg a standing desk?
linus has it set up at a treadmill while he works.
Well, he must be standing on something. It’s either that, or the ceiling of that room is really low.
I remember the video this is from. I think it’s just a low wall that’s open above that with a staircase on the other side.
What is this, 2014?
And a single monitor? 2010?
It was once seen as the future!
Linus was a bit of a trendsetter what comes to standing desks. In an interview he also commented on the walls, saying the paint colour is also used in mental institutions because it has a very calming effect on the human mind. (Goodness knows Linus needs all the chill he can muster.)
That paint color also makes his pants technically camouflage!

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.
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.
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.
Also, the Linux man is using windows (default windows background plus windows explorer open).
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!
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 don’t you tell us about it?
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.
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 mysterious stranger approaches”
And the treadmill isn’t even in the picture!
Ok this is a good one
needs less pants.
WFH before WFH was cool. That’s how cool it is.
Thats Not the Microsoft HQ. Thats their Munich Office.
I can understand why they went with it though, it's pretty difficult to find an image of 'the microsoft HQ' given that the real HQ is the redmond campus, and it's kinda comically huge.

Guess which one runs 99% of the internet.
Also, guess which one ALL of them run on their servers.
As a longtime Mac user, I remember when my OS became basically bigger iOS.
And yet I know which I trust more…
Money milkers vs Linux, wonder who wins?
