Dunno about the jerk, but he’s become a weirdo and I second the notion that he should no longer be idolized. That’s gonna be embarrassing to walk back from in 2-3 years.

Honestly? Best Linus? That’s a stretch. Maybe Linus from 10-20 years ago. But these days he’s becoming a senile old tech bro - his ideals are rapidly deteriorating.
I am disappointed albeit not surprised he’s jumped on the slop train.


I wanted to eventually try gentoo anyways, I guess I will have to advance that experiment. Never heard of Hyperbola, I will check it out. Thank you!


So this is how I hear about the outcome of the Debian vote. :( Is there a widespread distro that has a clear anti-Slop stance?




So in other words you were being a moron lighting a grill in a drought with everything around you highly flammable. Got it.


I’ve been saying this for years. Perceived justice/punishment is not worth the lives of thousands of innocents.
I can’t hear bat noises but there are humans who can echolocate
I once got bored like 15 years ago and tried it for a few days after reading about a blind boy doing this to fi d the hoop in basketball.
I couldn’t dream of that kind of resolution, but I was able to detect a wall / doorframe and whether it was 1m away or 10cm.
But I used clicking noises.


That same thought just occurred to me: hype a McGuffin and get investors to lend you insane amounts of money which you then use to buy up a marker, causing artificial scarcity, then sell at massive profits.
Exactly. EU is a cleptocracy, sadly :/
She started out with the comic (regular on reddit), added kinky ideas to her protagonist (depicting herself), posted the occasional selfie, felt encouraged by results and decided to show some more on OF. At least that’s the timeline I observed. She’s a good gal, nothing wrong with bashing hypocrites and also being kinky and earning extra money :)
Found the person confirming OC.
Ok, I should have phrased that differently. I did get that bit. I just found “ahhh” inappropriate to mimic a bat (a is a deep vowel, not a screech), and “right there” or “that’s it” inappropriate for acknowledging that you got an echo. It feels really forced for the purpose of making a joke, and it didn’t click with me at all.


I think you got that wrong. If anyone should leave, it’s fascist sympathizers.
Premise could be funny but I don’t get how the last panel relates to the joke / bat noises.

I have had to debug code of “software devs with more than 10 years of experience” often enough to know experience does not equal skill. If you think slop generators are helping you, while you by violating the licenses of all developers whose code went into the training data, then you apparently did not invest those 10 years well.


Computers being math, and the human sense of touch being pretty dang sensitive, means that other peripherals than screens, can represent that nuance required to reverse engineer, or anything else relating to computer code.
I am genuinely interested in what’s available today on that level - the last I checked, it was still Braille displays, and those were not good for much beyond text.
There are blind programmers, I am very much aware, and I could definitely see myself still enjoying development would I not be able to see. But for myself, I always assumed I would need someone else with normal eyesight to debate the algorithms and help me implement.
The term for what you are doing and which isn’t something that requires malice, is ableism.
Aren’t you jumping to conclusions now? I never made any comments about her skill, I expressed - poorly worded, I now admit - my curiosity. But the answer I was expecting was “yes, she is visually impaired but she did all of this anyway”, which would be all the more impressive. You do agree it is harder to work on graphics drivers as a visually impaired person, don’t you?
[…] just from a critique based on perception of facial features from a picture
Let me quote my original comment verbatim:
She has this out-of-focus look that makes it seem like she’s visually impaired or blind - but I guess then she wouldn’t be working on graphics drivers, of all things?
Where / how do you read any form of critique into that?
Moan silently and rhythmically and make some rustling noises?
