You work at Unit 731? I did, for a while, but the employee break lounge was always out of coffee. Not that I drink coffee, but I still thought that was disrespectful to the torture staff.

It's called dark humor, leave me alone.

I'd argue the end-users are animals. Primitive at that

"I am new to GitHub and I have lots to say

I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE FUCKING CODE! i just want to download this stupid fucking application and use it https://github.com/sherlock-project/sherlock#installation

WHY IS THERE CODE??? MAKE A FUCKING .EXE FILE AND GIVE IT TO ME. these dumbfucks think that everyone is a developer and understands code. well i am not and i don't understand it. I only know to download and install applications. SO WHY THE FUCK IS THERE CODE? make an EXE file and give it to me. STUPID FUCKING SMELLY NERDS"

as an end user I unironically agree with the general sentiment if not necessarily the method of communicating it.

Plenty of projects have exe files available on the release page though, it's just hard to find unless you're familiar with github.

I'm not a complete idiot. that's easy to find. what I'm talking about is ones that require self hosting or dockers pants or whatever it's called.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 14 hours ago

You are a complete idiot, it's objectively hard to find.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

I'm used to github, so i shouldn't speak on whether it's easy or not. But i just think the copypasta is funny lol

Hmmm ... Thought it was agreed to not to say the quiet part out loud eh?

No one likes being insulted ESPECIALLY when it's true.

This is why we praise them and spin every statement in a positive light.

"I admire your creativity, but no we do not currently allow emojis in usernames"

"I admire your creativity. Will talk with our team, get their feedback, and timeline. See when can add support for emojis in usernames"

Just got back from talking with our team. The senior coder in charge of emojis in usernames is currently upgrading the windmills in the uk, having been able to enhance efficiency by 0.001%. Wow! Thats 14 Mega tons of CO2 removed from the atmosphere every year!

Will take the weekend to get commercial Fusion energy rolled out and right after that will address your issue. Which i'm sure many other users will be thankful you brought to our attention. And luckily had the right man for the job on staff. He's amazing, capable, enthusiastic, and eager to help.

I too oppose animals testing computers. They have no clue what they're doing

i'm opposed to Grandma asking for IT support

Grandma gets a smartphone

They live along with us.

  • a bulldog gets onto a treadmill

  • a dog is trained to press buttons on the floor to express their desires

  • AI is used to decipher an animals language meaning and speech recognition

  • Koko the gorilla using celebrities to do marketing and guarantee TV time and our attention.

All these things are animals using tech.

But is the software written by developers with access to the outside and daylight? Even if they prefer to shun it and choose blackout curtains.

Get your code from free range developers. The ethical way.
