Also, guess which one ALL of them run on their servers.

My memory is that it was an ARM based laptop. This story seems to confirm that: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/08/linus-torvalds-uses-an-arm-powered-m2-macbook-air-to-release-latest-linux-kernel/

I think it was the Asahi district.

I wonder what he uses now that macs aren't x86 anymore.

He's using an old Intel laptop right now.

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

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

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.

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.

Don't go into a bakery.

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 "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.

This picture, it frustrates me on many levels.

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.

Yep, the Linux Foundation's reports show that ~70% of kernel contributions come from devs paid by companies like Red Hat, Intel, and Google - but the distributed nature and open governance is whats really revolutionary comapred to traditional corporate software.

I think you mean the userland, but even then big corporations are not that involved. I am struggling to see where you are coming from.

Linux is one of the oldest examples for work-from-home's results...

Thanks !

They're all have the same size. The name of iOS, as you can see, originally written in lowercase lol. Why are you even notice this? Apple fanboy or some..?
