2·7 days agoOhh ok so it’s like Overcooked but without the time stress + stronger emphasis on planning/coordination? Interesting, maybe I could do that

5·7 days agoNeither Voyager probe passed Pluto, you might be thinking of New Horizons? I think Voyager 1 had the decision to either do a flyby of Titan or Pluto, and they ended up picking Titan because Titan is awesome (the only moon with a thick atmosphere, methane oceans, lots of cool stuff there!)

1·7 days agoSo a bit like Overcooked or something? Maybe, but I would like to make something that’s a bit less intense (perhaps as an alternate game mode or something?)

60·10 days agoThe diagram really bothers me. Generative AI or not, it’s really poorly done. The trapeziums are not lined up, they are ever so slightly off centre from each other. Why??? The green arrow points at seemingly nothing of interest. The big blue quotes does not end, the divider splits the quote in two for no reason. Not to mention the descriptions of the three “stages” sound like a horoscope. (also, my pet peeve are those images that highlight random words in colour for no reason whatsoever, it’s everywhere, particularly on sourceless news posts that are usually by bots)
As for the Level 4 comment, yay humanity is redeemable!
I just think this meme has the vibe coder part tacked on, and the message is pretty much “xenophobic racists hate minorities and should be ridiculed”. It is very true that we live in a dangerous time, the far right and their hatred should not be normalised, more people should be aware, but part of the reason why I follow silly communities like programmer humour is to enjoy nerdy jokes and laughs.
There’s lots of other comms where this message could be better received I feel. Not only the politics ones, mind you, screw the whole “apolitical = accepting the far-right as equals” schtick, this should be in non-political communities should it be on-topic (Criticising Palantir being used as an apparatus for surveillance and fascism shouldn’t be blocked for being “political”, criticising companies that donate to far-right politicians shouldn’t be blocked for being “political”, etc.)
edit: I also believe that it’s not really that good of a joke, you know? It would have been better to not mention “buff Aryan Germans” at all (the joke would have made sense without it) and to not list as many attributes as one can to highlight this person is very different (and implicitly separating them from “normal” people, even if it was not the intention).
There are plenty of jokes about autistic, trans, furry, etc. people in the tech sphere, and it’s fine to joke about the hypocrisy of xenophobic AI bros, but having all the minorities lumped in and put as the opposite to a “buff Aryan German” as a joke leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
I just think it isn’t super on-topic, being a nerdy programmer jokes community, and if the programmer joke requires referencing bigotry to work, then maybe it isn’t that great of a joke.
Again, just my own thoughts on the matter. Feel free to disagree with me.
My point was that it doesn’t really fit programmer humour, you know? I’m here for nerdy jokes and the occasional jab at Github downtime. Aside from the mention of vibe coders, it’s not really on topic, and the joke isn’t all that good in my opinion. I also don’t like autistic, trans, etc. people are positioned as the “opposite” of “shredded Aryan Germans”, even as a joke, “haha these people are so silly/crazy” doesn’t feel right, as an autistic person myself. Just my thoughts though.
“The bigots hate minorities” might make sense as a meme in another community, but not programmer humour, where the current trend is about “4” being used as a private security key of a root CA. Jabs at vibe coders are totally fine too (see massive maintenance burden, ethical and legal problems of LLMs, etc., there are real reasons to not like those folk)
If you need to bring up eugenics and bigotry in a programmer meme, maybe it isn’t very funny? (And the standards are very low, “4” is literally the current trend)
It just doesn’t fit with everything else in the community, in my opinion. I’m here for nerdy jokes, harmless laughs, and occasionally poking fun at vibe coders too.
But again, I don’t like how autistic, trans, etc. people are positioned as the “opposite” of a “shredded Aryan German”, particularly as an autistic person myself. Maybe don’t have that in a programming humour community, you know? Just my thoughts though
I did not say it was an affirmation. I did not accuse anybody of being a Nazi, it is obvious that the idea of “shredded Aryan Germans” is ridiculous from the image. I said they mentioned eugenics, not advocate it. My point is that, in my opinion, it isn’t a good joke and pretty off-topic in a programming humour community bar the mention of vibe coders.
I also don’t like how people who are autistic, trans, etc. are positioned as the “opposite” to shredded “Aryan” Germans, it doesn’t sit right as somebody who is autistic.
Sorry? I’m not a Nazi, I am against all forms of discrimination and segregation. I do not support eugenics or the idea that some people are genetically “superior” to others.
Most of the other bits about “shredded Aryan Germans” and all that isn’t though, and is the main topic of the “joke”.
I don’t find this very funny. This is barely about programming, and it isn’t very humorous to position autistic, trans, etc. people as the opposite to shredded “Aryan” Germans.
You shouldn’t bring up racism and bigotry in goddamn programming humour, even if it is in jest
The association of “Aryan” Germans with being shredded and people who are trans, autistic, etc. being positioned as the opposite. Eugenics is the idea that some people are genetically “superior” to others, making “Aryan” babies was a big part of it, but that’s the main idea being referenced.
As somebody who is autistic myself, it doesn’t feel right as a “joke”. Yes, it paints people who believe in that sort of thing like idiots, because they are, but this is programmer humour, jokes should be about programming things! Off-topic and generally unfunny in my opinion.
