Bloke gets Ubuntu tatoo


Recommended Posts

Amongst a number of other uncharacteristic decisions I’ve recently made, I went off and got myself a tattoo yesterday.

Circle of Friends

Some (geeks) may recognise it right away. For those of you that don’t, other than it being a cool design (I think so, anyway), there’s a bunch of meaning to it.

The symbol is that of Ubuntu Linux. From their website:

Ubuntu is an African word meaning ‘Humanity to others’, or ‘I am what I am because of who we all are’. The Ubuntu distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

It’s about community, caring, sharing, acceptance, diversity, and the ideologies that the culture embraces.

In addition to that, I’ve gone up 10 points in a) geekiness b) coolness or c) both! Hehe.

The photo doesn’t quite show it off properly yet, since the light grey areas are still a little dark (and look black). Look here to understand it better.

A big thanks to Kay from Skin Deep Tattoos who left his mark on my virgin skin.

Ya know, normally, a Corporate logo tattoo looks stupid )e.g. Zune Guy, a local guy who has a radio station, and tv station logo ON HIS FACE), but that Tatt is decent looking, simple, and kinda classy, and it's not well known enough to be obnoxious advertising, and just the location makes it look all the better. It's just plain hot :-?

No because he gets a tattoo and becomes news?.. was this a publicity stunt to get his 15 minutes of fame?

with that said... "sudo get_Laid" = Fail.

I just thought it was cool he got an Ubuntu tattoo so I posted it. Maybe it is not news for you but it made me think about it. I think tattoos are cool and have long been thinking about getting one (LONG TIME). Just a bit afraid.

But why not something as cool as the Ubuntu logo? Why's it not as good as a lot of other tattoos out there?

I like the logo

But damn I hate linux - and dont understand why its heralded as it is.

Yeah - lets all jump on the bandwagon for some software that thinks its acceptable to do everything in a terminal, just like its 1983 -

its almost 2009 *nix users :rolleyes:

That's the dumbest reason I've ever heard to not like Linux. When was the last time you used *nix? 1983?

You haven't used Linux for a long time, have you?

Still he has a point.

The majority of software is still terminal/command line based.

BTW This can turn out not so bad

Chick: "Whats that tattoo on your arm?"

This guy: "Its a symbol that means I am what I am because of who we all are"

Chick: *###### wet from deep quote*

He doesn't have to explain that its the logo of a organization; Just what it means :)

Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
