Meme Monday

Meme Monday!

Today's cover image comes from last week's thread.

DEV is an inclusive space! Humor in poor taste will be downvoted by mods.

Reminder: Every day is Meme Monday on DUMB DEV

Today's comiCSS cartoon:

comic with 4 panels in a 2x2 grid showing 2 characters talking. A person says 'Check this out! I created a library for comiCSS that...' and a econd character interrupts him 'Let me stop you right there! A comic? Really? That's a dead medium! Seriously... A comic... and about CSS... No one will read that! You should focus on something more interesting like movies or series... something with Pedro Pascal. Pedro Pascal is everywhere, and it's all good. But CSS? In a comic? Nope!' and adding as he leaves 'I would stop with the CSS nonsense and include something with Pedro Pascal, you'll get views and traction... But it's your call. Bye bye!'. In the last panel, it is revealed that the first person was Pedro Pascal wearing a mask (a caricature of him). Pedro says 'I can't connect with the character. What's his deal? Is he happy? Sad? ...and what is CSS? And the dialog? Terrible! Of course I'm everywhere. I'm Pedro ******* Pascal!'

It's meta and not fully about web development (beyond being developed in HTML+CSS and talking about CSS)... but Pedro Pascal is everywhere nowadays.

Do you think everyone would listen, if Curly, from City Slickers, told them there was only One Thing they needed to remember to stay safe online?

Solution: Do what I did and drill my server into a wall. (It is a raspberry pi, but STILL. Everyone leaves it alone.)

Or stuff it behind the living room tv where no one will notice (no joke, that's what my freind man-o-valor does), I should know, It took me ~3 minutes to find it.
