@donray To be fair, they mightn't have seen the #AltText. Although I would think that visually, it's clearly not your average bike ramp on the side of an ordinary modern road. It is beautifully maintained. A large part of Aarhus Uni is listed and under preservation orders. The building services and maintenance staff deserve a Nobel Prize themselves, as it's a very busy place but they keep it perfect.

We screwed up and to make up for it we’d like to offer you some Chinese-made trash at a markup of only 800% versus our normal markup of 10^18%

Also, eff you for being our customer—you deserve what you get. Plus we need to pay our guys and they cost a lot. So again, eff you, pathetic little consumer, this is what you’re worth to us.

Okay?

☑️ Yes

The more I (try to) delve into the world of #Linux and Free and Open Source Software generally, the more I am reminded of this #XKCD cartoon (No. 2501). It's true that some people in this community have no interest in trying to reach non-experts, but I think most just genuinely lose sight of how obscure their jargon is to new users. (See "Transcript" on the linked page for a detailed description of the image's content. #AltText) #FOSS
