Yes, the "Lenna Story" website: http://www.lenna.org/

I appreciate what Codeberg is doing for decentralizing code hosting and providing software (Forgejo) with useful features that can compete with Github, but I must say their Terms of Use especially the "Allowed Content" section is one of the worst I've seen. Imagine a CoC but governing an entire website and all its users...

    > Bluetooth audio? Who knows!

    > Attaching an external display? You’ll love reading xrandr’s manoage EVERY TIME.

It's funny you mention this, I've had both of these problems since 2020 and in fact haven't found a way to resolve them to this day. I have to boot into Windows just to connect to an HDMI display or use Bluetooth headphones.

    > Did you update the kernel? Have fun recompiling the nvidia driver.

My kernel updated from 5.15 to 5.18 and almost all my programs that use Nvidia hardware acceleration stopped working. I had to learn how to downgrade my kernel just to be able to hardware encode videos again.

    > A package outside the official repository?

Software distribution on Linux is still a massive dumpster fire, you'd think Flatpaks/AppImages would solve that but they introduce their own problems. I often just bite the bullet and compile everything from source since there's literally no other option.

Creative! Will there be a Linux version available?

Simple and clean, well done. The tilt options are a nice touch.

A few suggestions:

- Add example(s) on the home page. This is the first thing I look for, it took me a few seconds before I noticed "Try a demo image".

- In the case of a mobile screenshot, if the image is horizontal then the camera location on the "fake" phone should be moved to the side. Currently the camera remains on top, making the phone look more like a laptop screen.

- Add a button to reset the value for each individual property (size, space, tilt...etc).

- For some reason when switching from "Browser" to "Mobile" mockups the canvas shrinks to a small size. I'm using Chrome.

> Is there some 4chan-esque programming language that actually discourages queer people from using their language?

There isn't. I find that any organizations priding itself in employing (X) group of people is being disingenious at best, and preferential at worst.

Personal traits are irrelevant in a professional setting, let alone an online one where they are hidden away behind written communication. So to actively seek them out, or worse, place them on a pedestal, only signals that you reward personal traits over actual work ethic and ability. You're essentially taking pride in what your employees are rather than what your employees can do... Such organizations tend to go down a purity spiral of policing human interaction and speech, as well as preferential treatment of employees, to the detriment of product quality. Often implementing measures that are low in merit but high in potential for abuse, such as forcing contributors to sign vague agreements[1], or banning "offensive" numbers[2] from being used.

I wouldn't trust such an organization with my machine or data. The comments in the article do nothing but instill doubt in Rust's quality as a product and its future.
