    Black text on a white background reads “Coming back to your linux partition after gaming on Windows.”

    Below the text is a photo of a house, taken from across the street. Over part of the front of the house is a white sheet hung like a banner with text spray-painted on it in black and red. The black text reads “WELCOME HOME” followed by one word in red reading “CHEATER”.

    Tumblr post by user anotherchariotpulledbycats reading

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. The silence is deafening.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. Half of them require you to create an account on the company website. You have a trail of ghost accounts that will be used once and never again. You never receive a response.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. One employer offers an interview, but it’s so rare for you to receive any response that you forget to check the website and you miss the time.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. One employer offers an interview, but you don’t know the magic words that signal to the esoteric mind of an interviewer that you’re fit for the job.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. One employer e-mails you saying that ‘unfortunately, you do not have the qualifications we are looking for’. You check the job again and see you applied to be a menial labourer.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. Half of them require a car a car. No one stops to ask how you’re supposed to afford one with no job.

    "You apply for 20 jobs on Indeed. One employer offers a job. The commute makes you want to die in your sleep.

    "You call the HR manager for the workplace in hopes of arranging an interview more directly. They don’t even have an answering machine.

    “Employers complain that no one wants to work anymore.”

    A four-panel comic. The first panel shows bearded man wearing brown robs with a reddish chasuble, his hands clasped in prayer as he looks up at the sky. The sky is saying “Job, you’ve dedicated your life to me and I’m so proud of you.” To which Job is replying “Thank you, God.”

    The second panel shows a closer depiction of the man saying “And you’ll protect me and my family, right?”

    The third panel shows a blue sky with a cloud saying “God works in mysterious ways.”

    The final panel shows Job looking slightly concerned as he says “…Didn’t really answer my question.”

    A one-panel XKCD-style comic with the title “The Self-Hoster” One character is seated at a computer, talking to a second character standing behind their chair. Character one says: “It took all weekend, but now that I have a Mastodon instance running in Docker behind a reverse proxy with cloud-provided media storage, I can enjoy interacting with a federated network of other users without compromising on privacy or content moderation.” Character two replies: “Cool, what kinds of topics does your network discuss?” Character one replies: “Our experiences self-hosting Mastodon instances, mostly.”
