Picture reminded me of this painting
Yes! That's exactly the inspiration.
Very fun. We should make a debian package to install the manpage via apt.
First, you should read Anti-Oedipus for background: https://files.libcom.org/files/Anti-Oedipus.pdf
Lol, you know the lore
Thanks!
I was actually wondering if this could be packaged. At least AUR should be doable.
An AUR package feels especially fitting here—the act of installing it and opening it with man would make the distribution format part of the reading experience, not just another download option.
What's the blue icon at the very bottom of the thumbnail, below Svelte? I'm familiar with the others, but not that one.
That's "Backbone" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backbone.js)
It was the hot front-end framework before Angular (and React).
Wait, there's even two similar ones below Svelte?
Are they both just variants of the Backbone logo because genAI?
Great question! Yes, Backbone appears twice.
First, it's artistic license. I think the Backbone.js school is the "backbone" of our current front-end era, for better or worse. So, it fits that the backbone of the hyper-cubical cross is represented by Backbone.js (twice). Spoiler alert: The cover art's meaning becomes clear around the halfway point on the book, if you're curious.
Second: Yeah, that was a "happy accident" by genAI. To be fair the first $50 that gets donated for this book on my Kofi link go directly to commission a real artist for a cover remake.
Ah, thank you! 🙏
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
