I get the feeling that snyk.io hasn’t been used internally on a mobile device. Getting the sidebar to close is a mare… (iOS 18.2)
Floating sidebar off the bottom of the page. Next to impossible to close

Super exciting to see the VLDL backers mural be released!

My name should be on there somewhere 🤔
Viva La Dirt League kickstarter mural featuring cartoon caricatures of the characters they play in their skits. The mural is surrounded by handwritten names of the backers.

Man, I was so proud to get this shirt by contributing to Open Source Software. Super sad that #hacktoberfest stopped them :(

Would even be happy paying for it!

The cartoon stylised DBZ fight with eminem was so neat!

Hows your day going? 😇 *panik*

Oakley is three this year!!
We’re thinking he might like a friend after we ‘adopted’ a lost lab last weekend for a few hours and he had the greatest of times

omg, how did I forget this banger!! 🥹
Wolfenstein 3D. A german Shepard is to your left jumping up to bite you, with a couple of Nazis shooting your way, awaiting to join the fate of their colleague, dead on the floor.

Introduce yourself with four video games
Perfect Dark Nintendo 64. Joanna Dark hides behind a column with a silencer ready to take out a nearby enemy. Red Alert 2. Isometric city builder game based in an alternate world war 2 era, lightning is striking a russian base. Pokemon Blue, in Professor Oak’s lab where the player (Ash obviously) is having to choose starter pokemon from one of three pokeballs on the table containing either Charmander, Bulbasaur or Squirtle. Half Life 2, City 17. A city district with heavy Bulgarian influences overrun with power line and a dominant holographic screen projecting the leaders propaganda. Upfront a surveillance drone is looking at you about to take your picture

Linkin Park: From Zero vinyl just turned up 😍
Side 2 of the vinyl showing flipping guitars on top of a purple to pink gradient heading into the center of the stylised “LP” Linkin Park logo. A picture of the vinyl insert which reads “As we made this album we often thought about our bands origin, even before it was called Linkin Park. Through many twists and turns, the times have changed, our lives have changed, and the faces have changed. But what has stayed consistent is the desire to create music which moves us and the hope that, upon sharing it, it moves others as well. Thank you for being a part of the journey with us, starting From Zero. Linkin Park”

Big Spheal Energy :3
Spheal is much faster rolling than walking to get around. When groups of this Pokémon eat, they all clap at once to show their pleasure. Because of this, their mealtimes are noisy.
