That leads us to John Gabrield’s Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory
I don’t have comments on the rest of your post, but I absolutely hate how that cartoon has been used by people to justify that they are otherwise “good” people who are simply assholes on the internet.
The rebuttal is this: This person, in real life, chose to go on the internet and be a “total fuckwad”. It’s not that adding anonymity changed something about them, they were the fuckwads to begin with, but with a much lower chance of having to be held accountable, they are free to express it.
In the US if you give a politician money in exchange for voting against a bill, it’s illegal (it’s called “quid-pro-quo” in lawyer terms)
But if you just donate money to the politician, his family, or his campaign, without requesting anything - and then he “coincidentally” happens to vote against the bill which you didn’t want, it is perfectly legal.
Basically, many politicians are regularly doing something clearly unethical and corrupt in a technically “legal” way.
I only discovered it recently, and have been reading it when I’m bored and remember it. Also just discovered the Bill Watterson “cameo” - it is pretty amazing.
This guy specifically? He’s a racist asshole, who has been surrounded by other racist assholes and gotten support from them, so he has never learned that his behavior is unacceptable in a society that values freedom.
I went to highschool for 1 year in the UK, where a uniform was mandatory for every student.
I can assure you, it does not promote discipline in any way. Kids fight, do stupid things, and skip classes regardless of how they’re dressed.
Oh - this isn’t a bad community, that isn’t what I meant by my last sentence - this is just a place for memes and jokes more than serious discussion, hence my expectation of a serious discussion was subverted. But programmer humor is still a great place.
A “grodge” sounds like some sort of distant cousin of the grue. Maybe they’re some sort of gremlins, and these people are gremlin breeders who are selling them?
Fun fact, Linus has said that he has named both of the major pieces of software he has authored after himself - Linux and Git.
Git is a somewhat old British slang insult for someone stupid/childish.
So GitHub is then … a hub of gits.
Is this copypasta yet?
I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE CODE!! WHY IS THERE CODE? JUST MAKE A FUCKING EXE FILE AND GIVE IT TO ME.
who needs code, when all we need is exe files.
Yes, I normally speak english good, but your corect to, i make a typo then.
A lot of people associated with Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) have major objections to GitHub. Here’s one summary: https://sfconservancy.org/GiveUpGitHub/
But the TLDR; version is roughly:
Alternative do exist, and some like codeberg.org are specifically open sourced, and pro-open source, so many people are pushing to move hosting away from GitHub and onto other options.
I send you an actual news article, and all you can do is reply with a strawman cartoon, claiming it’s democrats?
You want to cite actual democratic politicians calling for more war or do you just want to live in your fantasy world?
I thought this was going to be a FOSS discussion, comparing GitHub and it’s current owner - Microsoft - to the ethics of other hosting services like codeberg.org or something.
Then I saw where this was posted.
Your argument holds no weight against a group of people (the current republican supporters) who have repeatedly proven to be misogynistic assholes who gladly vote for a rapist.
Cruelty is the point of their actions, not the side-effect - pointing out to them that their actions are unjust has no effect when that was their goal from the start.
Yeah, the left is the problem here, cause republicans are totally anti genocide

oh wait…
You don’t do what Google seems to have done - inject diversity artificially into prompts.
You solve this by training the AI on actual, accurate, diverse data for the given prompt. For example, for “american woman” you definitely could find plenty of pictures of American women from all sorts of racial backgrounds, and use that to train the AI. For “german 1943 soldier” the accurate historical images are obviously far less likely to contain racially diverse people in them.
If Google has indeed already done that, and then still had to artificially force racial diversity, then their AI training model is bad and unable to handle that a single input can match to different images, instead of the most prominent or average of its training set.
The specific repo in question had (and still has) a USAGE
section.
And again, I have to point out that it is a python script, not an executable - it’s not standard, common or expected that python scripts be provided as a standalone executable. What makes you think even if there was a download link the guy would have gone down to find it?
Metaphors aside, the guy who originally posted this literally went on a source code-hosting website that primarily aims at making source sharing easier, yelling that he didn’t want to see said source-code, only an executable for a product that literally does not compile to an executable, did not bother reading the instructions, but instead posted on a public forum, in full arrogance, insulting developers by calling them “SMELLY NERDS”.
I’m astounded that there’s still people defending this guy like that’s a totally normal thing to do.
If you only want to download an executable, GitHub is NOT the best place to look for that. Yes, many developers do provide compiled versions of their code, and yes, it is often very convenient that they do so - but it is neither the intended purpose of GitHub, nor is it required that developers provide one.
Way too many people, especially Americans, have a gun-slinger complex. They’re looking for an excuse, any excuse, to use their guns, and feel like they’re “heroes”. These people are dangerous and the antithesis of what gun owners should be - responsible and careful. This ain’t the “well regulated militia” mentioned in the constitution, this is angsty, angry, insecure people with issues trying to act tough by shooting someone.
The point, which you missed, is that going to github, a source code hosting service, to look for downloading executables for your specific platform - is like going to a farmer’s market to try and get a ready made meal. You’re at the wrong place, and it’s not meant for you if that’s what you’re looking for.
Github is fairly user friendly, but it’s users are developers.
This is the result of capitalism - corporations (aka the rich selfish assholes running them) will always attempt to do horrible things to earn more money, so long as they can get away with it, and only perhaps pay relatively small fines. The people who did this face no jailtime, face no real consequences - this is what unregulated capitalism brings. Corporations should not have rights or protect the people who run them - the people who run them need to face prison and personal consequences. (edited for spelling and missing word)
