- A t-shirt sold by Uniqlo and designed by Akamai contains an obfuscated Bash script on the back, which is a Base64-encoded Easter egg that prints an animated 'Peace for All' message.
- The script is decoded to reveal a welcoming message and an animation that uses a sine wave to display the text in a color gradient, with terminal handling for cursor visibility and dimensions.
- The design references early internet aesthetics, with a beige color reminiscent of old computer casings and a heart symbol, emphasizing Linux as the 'open-source language of the internet'.
