Yet another example of how transphobia just completely rots the brain. Party members and affiliates clearly said no to transphobic policy, but the leadership goes ahead with it anyway because the only thing left in their head is how much they hate trans people and literally nothing else

The Calvin's dad explaining records meme. He is explaining that the two kinds of meme are Calvin's dad and Loss. Despite being a meme about Calvin's dad, this one is Loss.

F-ing depraved. The IDF edited a photo of the journalist they assassinated and made it look like he was wearing a Hezbollah uniform. They explicitly state that it is legal in Israel to murder journalists. The entire Israeli state is a criminal enterprise.

Just fucking credit your localizers no matter how long or deeply they're involved, regardless of whether they made it to the end. You already have (bullshit) anticompete clauses in our contracts and forbid clients from directly poaching us. The slightest dignity for us won't ruin your bottom line.

The whole point of these measures is to eliminate anonymity from the internet in order to crack down on disfavored political speech and further oppress marginalized people

Honestly I was unsure so I glanced at a search and went with what I saw first, but looking into it again I think not capitalizing it would have been the right choice actually

AGTP is the Aeon Genesis fan translation and the one that features Huzzah as Balrog's catchphrase, yes.

For example:

AGTP
Balrog: You can't hide, no no! I've got the nose of a bloodhound!
Misery: Indeed you do. The nose, and I dare say the brain as well.

NICALIS
Balrog: It's no use hiding from me. I've got the nose of a clever Harrier!
Misery: Indeed. Yes, he has the nose AND the brain of a dog.

Reminder that if you're going to play Cave Story+ you should mod it to use the Aeon Genesis fan translation, it reads much better than the Nicalis translation and thus should considerably increase your enjoyment of the game

Pretty sad when you go to an Italian restaurant and you get a Carbonara that's worse than what you can whip up at home with little effort... But that's exactly what happened yesterday and today I made my own Carbonara(-like) just to confirm that indeed, it is better than what the restaurant served

And as it turns out, even if it wasn't Bluesky's vibe coding at the root of this particular service issue, vibe coding was apparently still at the root of this service issue so lol, lmao even bsky.app/profile/thes...

The sloppers are already making the internet worse for people who build stuff. "Oh well, nothing we can do about it" is just choosing the guaranteed poison of the status quo, which I would consider to be much worse than the potential poison of social shaming side effects.

it always bugged me that this meme basically dominated any discussion over this game's disturbing attitudes towards covering women's bodies as much as possible. They covered up bare shoulders a lot too (not in this shot), which brought back some uncomfortable experiences I had IRL as a woman.

At the same time, having sometimes nonsensical go-tos to blame for issues of any kind is nothing new under the sun, including with software issues, so at least this one would blame AI rather than Indians or something

Eh, personally I'm perfectly fine with filing LLM-fueled devops work under the umbrella of "vibe coding". Like I don't see that as meaningfully different from vibe coding by using ChatGPT or such in the browser. You don't need to have Claude Code generating files directly to be a "real" vibe coder

Yes, that can be annoying, but at the same time, I do think it's ultimately a fairly small price to pay for driving off proud slop peddlers for good. Because proud slop peddlers should very much be widely ridiculed to the point that they start feeling genuinely ashamed for their behavior.

I would also like to emphasize the "first" in first reaction, ie. "in the absence of other information". If a plausible other explanation has already been provided by the devs, you should account for it.

Though pro-sloppers do have an incentive to downplay slop issues, so grain of salt etc

To clarify: This primarily applies to service providers / developers who have openly said they push AI code to production. At that point "vibe coded?" is an entirely fair and, very importantly, well-targeted first reaction when facing issues. Because it's the proud AI sloppers you want to shame.

It is entirely fair to blame vibe coding for service outages and other issues in the absence of other information when the service provider has admitted to pushing AI code to production in the past. Because making things flaky to the point out of causing outages is a very real vibe coding outcome.

Vibe code in production is a very plausible culprit for service outages and other flakiness, though! So if the service provider has said out loud that they are pushing AI code to production, it is quite logical to blame that for outages in the absence of other information
