A three-panel "Boardroom Suggestion" comic strip meme about a misunderstanding in an office.

Panel 1: A boss says to his employees, "It's very hot in this office, any ideas?".

Panel 2: Two employees suggest "Air conditioners" and "Fans". A third, bored-looking employee suggests, "Install windows".

Panel 3: The boss is shown with a furious expression. The visual punchline is a giant Apple Mac Pro computer tower standing outdoors, implying the boss interpreted the suggestion not as installing physical windows, but as installing the Microsoft Windows operating system on a Mac. 
 "the office is an Apple tower without any window and  one can see a vaguely human-shaped crack on the outside, where the employee hit the wall, instead of being thrown out a window.
the tower doesn't have any windows because it's Apple, Microsoft's main concurrent. The pun is on windows being the OS or the opening.

@Fragglemuppet I've used xchat with success

@cmconseils this never didn't happen to me

I'm on the server floor of a "highly secure data center with 24/7/365 surveillance, direct access control and robust perimeter security".

An actual duck just walked by. 🦆

The panic is absolutely glorious. I think this just became one of the highlights of my life.

@dm 🥲

@Pepijn that info has been reduckted

Just finished a novel about an immortal cat. It was impossible to put down.

@catsalad oh the humanities

@LovesTha jammed indeed

@publicvoit @stunder I read your post. Looks like the only remaining issue is the /boot not mounted... How is it declared in your config?

As a side note... Maybe you *do* have to regenerate your hardware config, as you did make a change with the fw update...

@publicvoit @stunder good luck! Those instructions look promising.

@danana_dread I would do an (arguably) easier to debug and fiddle POC in python of the algorithm in order to ease the translation of math concepts...

@lowqualityfacts so nice to see your very friendly relationship with your sister in law to be

Urgent help for OpenPrinting needed!

As many here know, I am co-founder and lead of OpenPrinting since 2001, known as the print guru for Linux and free software by many. I also got one of the 8 fellows of the Linux Foundation for this.

Up to now I was working at Canonical, hired back in 2006 just to run OpenPrinting and also to maintain printing-related Ubuntu packages.

... 🧵

Please boost.

@danana_dread another factor is how do you have your initial geometry represented, as that may ease or hinder the algorithm implementation (specially for the iteration described in section 4)

@danana_dread I would first tackle the Q matrix calculation from section 5. I would advise to use a linear algebra library to be able to translate math formulas and vector/matrix manipulation more or less directly to code.
With that in place, following the general outline from section 4 should be easy-ish...

@Darkasvim I did in late 2022 and never looked back

@dm have a good time!

@ariadne would it be legal to just replicate the header files and provide a new implementation based on another library?
