I want you all to know that the relentlessly anti-AI stance is the popular opinion. If you state your opposition as well, you'll be in good and plentiful company.

Edit: Are you a GNOME contributor who is demotivated by AI? Please reach out.

People think the minions router being baller as a joke. But I have extensively tested it and it is one of the best possible Wifi 6E routers money can buy. Like someone at Illumination Studios was like "idk $80" and the router manufacturer was like gotchu fam.

Vimto gets its name from "vim tonic" — it was an early kind of energy drink before it was a cordial, so what you get now is kind of a non-energy-drink version of an energy drink.

They've now released a Vimto energy drink, so you can get the energy drink version of the non-energy drink version of the energy drink.
