#194"Uniqlo x Akamai sells another design of shirt in the same range which is plainly incomplete" Imagine having to return a t-shirt because that malfunction! — I don't understand why are you returning this, was the size wrong or you didn't like it? — No, there is a syntax error at line 37 that makes it impossible to run, and I'm concerned people on the street may think I promote unsafe bash scripting.
ATTN, Uniqlo customer service employees: If someone tries to return a shirt claiming an error in the printed computer code, decline the request and reply, "A real script kiddie would've spotted that error before buying."

#196I love this shirt! Here's a nice video from the actual designer about the process of making this shirt (including intentionally making it hard to OCR): https://youtu.be/jocGLiecpjU?t=526
It would probably be quicker to type it in than figure out how to OCR it. It would be like typing in a game from a COMPUTE! magazine 45 years go. https://archive.org/details/1983-01-compute-magazine/page/96...
At least that stuff was written in cleartext. You'd immediately know you just typed the wrong character if you saw PRONT on your screen.

A real hacker, maybe. A script kiddie is by definition someone who wouldn't notice.

#198I thought it was funny that the author used a variety of OCR tools with mixed success before spending a lot of time manually fixing up the output from the best one, rather than just typing it in
"just typing it" would be more error prone for the average human
Not really. Transcribing long sequences of nonsense is annoying but quite easy to do without error as long you're patient enough to follow a simple process of reading, typing, and double-checking character-by-character.

#199I don't know... I prefer unobfuscated text that you can immediately grok. The other day I saw this on a T-shirt: > May the m×s/t² be with you
Wouldn't be interesting enough to nerd-snipe people.

FWIW, his screens looked a lot like OSX to me (which tracks with graphic design users in my experience). Anyway, he seems like a very nice fellow and I wish him and almost all T-shirt designers well. That bash script just gave me a lot of pause. (And even that seems possibly downstream of him being nice and doing it himself to spare his team from what he called a "FrankenProject".)
"Linux, the open-source language of the internet" comes from the linked akamai.com press release, not the blog post author. Their putting that as a section title to the quote may be their poking light fun at it.
