I'll have to spend some time trying to find it if it's on there, but I had one at one point called "Pimeer" where the text was rendered in such a way to look like a Pioneer stereo. Fooled me at the time.

OT, but the image in TFA is not of a yak, but Highland cattle [0].

Yaks [1] have a shoulder hump you can't miss.

> Trump has pardoned a number of people who have donated large sums to his political campaigns.

It will be interesting to see how he'll be able to spin his well-documented donations to Democratic causes and sell that to the current administration:

"He personally gave at least $40 million to politicians and political action committees ahead of the 2022 midterm elections, mostly to Democrats and liberal-leaning groups, making him the second overall top donor to Democrats, only behind George Soros, according to the Center for Responsive Politics" [0].

I read it as an argument from the end user’s perspective. Kind of like this:

  - trying to do X, getting software error: bug
  - wishing the software did Y, even though it’s not implemented: bug
Indeed there are people who think like that, but usually they are people like my grandparents, whose level of software understanding boils down to “the Desktop is where I play Solitaire” and “Internet Explorer is the literal internet”.
