calliope

I totally agree! I have actually made all the icons grey, so now full color looks insane

Me too! And I had a similar thought.

My confusion seeing stuff in ~/Projects that I didn’t put there would have been funny. Like “…have you been watching me??”

Anyone know what this one means?

Amazingly, looking at the Disqus and other threads (there’s a colorized one on Facebook from February), no one seems to know wtf it means.

Someone mentions that a “Flanagan” is traditionally a character that messes things up, so maybe that’s it?

Thank you! I was wondering about the context

This reminds me of Coyote Linux, a firewall distribution that I also used to run on a 386 from a floppy disk!

On the other hand I’ve never made any bones about the fact that I work to develop good products and if someone can make money on that good for them, but I fight for the best design for end users I can.

Your entire comment nailed it for me. Thank you for reading between the lines of my snarky annoyance and expressing it more eloquently.

I also love internal tooling and worked at shitty, bizarre places (General Dynamics, for one. Speaking of “places you’ve never heard of,” right?), and literally the entire reason to work there is to try make it better for the people who use the thing. Not doing that is preposterous to me!

Somehow the original author ignored the only thing I would care about. Or it’s there and I missed it.

If I were a better developer, would I have worked on more products people love? No

There you go, justify your shitty work.

If you were a better person, you would work on better products.

You choose where you work and what you work on. The fact that you went from Zendesk working on a shitty product to Microsoft working on a shitty product is definitely about you.

In fact, a reliable engineer ought to be comfortable working on products people hate, because engineers work for the company, not for users.

“It’s ok that I work at shitty companies! They pay me more”

El queso es viejo y mohosa.

Me: This is an ad, it’s crazy that people will engage in something that’s clearly an ad, they’re feeding right into it. It’s a cult mentality.

You: I hate you!! SCREEEE

You couldn’t have proved my point more. Someone even upvoted you because it was a shot at AI. The cult is so strong you can’t even tell you’re in it.

I’m glad you have an outlet for your impotent rage, but do you have to be so pathetic? Your mental age is showing.

I’ll take pretentious though, because I am better than you.

People will upvote anything if it takes a shot at AI. Even when the subtitle itself is literally an ad.

Codestrap founders say we need to dial down the hype and sort through the mess

The cult mentality is really interesting to watch.

Keep replying! Maybe this is a good honeypot for stupid people. “I hate you!!” Lmao

“I only see things in black and white because I haven’t grown up”

I actually blocked you on another account because you’re such a douchebag. I wish those could be exported more easily!

Oh I remember you now!! You’re the “we should rise up against fascism” coward who months ago said

I’m willing to go to prison or die anyway

I mean I can go first, I’ve been queueing for some time already.

And here you are, pathetically typing about AI. What happened, tough boy?

This is still you:

Just a completely random un thought through thought. Maybe peace is the best thing, and it will happen if we just do nothing. What do you think?

Who needs AI when real humans are this worthless?

The popular “it looks awful” kneejerk is so telling.

I dislike AI, but the utter delusion around it reminds me of how people complained about the internet in the 90s. There was a sensible fear, and then there were essentially Luddites.

Everything repeats.

I appreciate that the artist mentions what the capybara is doing.

after the battle they harvested the crème brûlée because nothing goes to waste in the jungle

Hahaha you’re the only person I’ve ever met who cares about “marking” edits.

“Dishonest.” lol!! Dry your tears, sweetie

You literally misunderstood the entire thread! Lmao

I wish I had your unearned confidence. Is that a feddit.org thing? I see a surprising number of assholes from feddit.org

Seriously, the anti-AI everything is embarrassing.

They didn’t understand the post, acted like a jerk, and still got tons of upvotes. The delusion is real.

Yeah, and it’s moronic. Thanks for understanding!

Oh are we calling disabled people “Clankers” now?

Haha it’s extraordinary that this drivel is the top comment. Keep up the screeching about shit you don’t understand! At least the other idiots support you.

Dunning-Kruger and bad reading comprehension in full effect.

What do I hear? A bullying douchebag complaining that I didn’t “mark” my edits on a federated service?
