  • Meanwhile at Tuxedo OS:

    Manager: “So, we need a set of Wallpapers for that Linux we have.”

    Worker: “Alright, so i suggest that we add some vistas from germany in there and some nature photography.”

    Manager: “Classic and beautiful, but i feel like we need a little twist to that.”

    Worker: “Alright, so was if we were to run an algorithm that turns random parts of the wallpaper into polygonal art?”

    Manager: “How random exactly?”

    Worker: “Totally! The only rule is that half of the wallpaper has to have that look but there’s no rhyme or reason to which parts will be turned into polygons.”

    Manager: “I love it. Can we also super impose our logo on the wallpaper so that people can always rest assured that the Linux they booted is still the Linux they installed and that it’s our Linux?”

    Worker: “Absolutely sir!”


  • As far as i know the fear of vaccines started growing because of Andrew Wakefield.

    Andrew Wakefield developed a vaccine against measles, however the MMR vaccine was already on the market doing its job just fine. So how could he make sure that his vaccine was taken instead of the MMR?

    He had to start lying. So he started to spread the notion that the MMR vaccine would cause autism. My memory hets fuzzy from here on but basically it was MMR vaccine causing autism because it would mess with gut bacteria and to prove that he was messing with data and his colleagues and until they realized what was happening the damage was already done. And over time the lie from Wakefield turned into the commonly known “vaccines cause autism”.

    Hbomberguy has a very comprehensive video about it: https://youtu.be/8BIcAZxFfrc
