Well, they took inspiration from Clement Clarke Moore’s (1922) “Twas the night before Christmas” and illustrations from Thomas Nast (1881) showing him in red with the sack over his shoulder. Certainly, Coca Cola has solidified the modern image with their ad campaign though starting in 1931. Src

Good on them. Can someone non-snarkily explain why this is good for them financially?

I know. That statement was weird. In just a few lines of code I can chew up all available ram on a machine.

My work never ends and always demands more. I’ve just learned to shut it off and ignore it nights and weekends unless I have an ever critical deadline. Yes my child is an early tween and pretty self sufficient…that and a tough opponent in Super SmashBros. I’m in a pretty happy place

I’m in my 50s and playing plenty of videogames… There’s a path forward

I honestly don’t find this sort of disinformation funny.

I’ve eaten too many corn.

Happy with your catered silos isn’t the same thing as no silos.

This is the only way. I’ve been doing it for years, in part because I absolutely hate catered content based on what I’ve viewed/read. Doing so only increases silos. At least with reddit (RIP)/Lemmy you pick from a potpourri of silos that are don’t change depending on what I’ve read.

Just an example, but I’ve worked in central Africa and was recently at a very rural hospital where there was no running water and no electricity (other than local solar), and while there they received an airborne blood delivery via drone from a facility about 100 miles and about 4 hour drive time away. This was extremely helpful and managed through Internet communication.

Democratization of communication resources substantially helps other facets. I hate this sort of knee jerk whataboutism. Aid can and should be multifaceted.

This is the year of the Linux Desktop

I’m sure they’ll hold strong to that prediction in 24 mo. It’s just 24 more months away

I have no concept of why any of the above matters

Yeah, but coal fires create pretty sunsets
