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 :)

    • I'd say the first one failed to be as popular as Apple anticipated, but the easy adjustment here is to make fewer of them next time around. It would only be a "flop" if it isn't possible for Apple to recover the design and factory tooling costs given the number of units sold, which I doubt would be the case. It isn't like no one bought them; it just failed to become the new hot phone of the year.
    • You're right that it does not follow the plain meaning of the word, but in this context, it is a legal term defined in 49 U.S.C. Kind of how "wire fraud" laws apply even if a physical wire was not used. Given that it is codified in law, and it isn't just automotive journalists that don't understand evolving technology, I highly doubt congress would change a well understood term just because technology makes the term slightly less actuate.
    • This is exactly why I keep saying we are not ready for human free self-driving. These little "bugs" are may seem like random one-offs. There was also the Waymo that drove between police with drawn weapons and the suspect they were pointing them at. From a software perspective it is easy to understand how those extremely rare situations may not have been programed for, but that is the point. If AI needs to be told to watch out for every possible contingency, then it can never be successful. There will always be the possibility of a first encounter that the AI needs to understand to avoid.
