There's something seedy about the term webring I just can't identify.
thomond··on Twitter’s mass layoffs have begun
I wonder does this number include moderators or are they contractors who are not included in the headcount. I could see half that number being made of moderators if so.
thomond··on People pretending to be laid-off Twitter employees carrying boxes outside of HQ
Well Musk also said he'll layoff 75% of staff so it wouldn't be too surprising that he'd layoff staff. He's backtracked on that but he's still laying off staff.

There are too many technology products called Proton.
thomond··on Using a Linux phone as a secondary monitor
> Virtual display handling: creating a fake video output. On Xorg, some GPU-specific hacks exist (probably Intel-only)

Nvidia users are out of luck in my experience.

thomond··on You're Not Losing Fat Because You're Eating Too Damn Much (2016)
