Can someone explain the whole "puppy" thing to me? I keep seeing it. I have no idea what it is.

I also don't understand, but I'm happy for them though.

Some people want to imagine they're puppies when they're being railed or something

Or maybe walked around on a leash

I have tankfully never heard anyone complain about a piece of software being coded by a furry transgendered person.

In fact, it seems like a stamp of quality :P

Movies, however...? Man, I remember when the Wachowski Sisters transitioned..

Good for you, I know way too many right wingers, who have stupid objections to them.

The Wachowskis are frauds who accidentally made one good movie once.

Then at least attack the quality of the movie, not the gender of the directors.

At the risk of being mauled by groupthink here I'll just say that Revolutions had 10 hours of philosophy packed into a 2 hour box. The ending felt flat. I recently reached the whole series and I agree that the first movie aged well while the middle 2 were a letdown.

IMO if you want to make an arthouse movie don't try to taco it onto an action blockbuster.

Glad they are happy with their genders. Doesn't really belong in the criticism of their movies.

Speed Racer is one of those where you get out what you put in. It's not for everyone.

Yes? That's what I'm doing.

Ah, I think I see the confusion.

I had made a remark about how people were harsh with the Wachowskis because of their gender, and your next words were that they were frauds who make trash movies.

I took that as an explanation and justification for WHY people were being terrible, so my response was meant as a general response. Not saying you were criticising them for being trans.

Except Speed Racer was the greatest film ever made so they're just wrong on every level.

And what movie are you addressing? Because you only said the Wachowski's are frauds. That's not a movie critique and you're hardly Roger Ebert.

The Matrix is good. Everything else they made is terrible, and yes that includes Speed Racer.

Says some dude

I think most will agree with some dude tbh. Funnily enough I haven't seen Speed Racer so can't comment on that, but much of the rest of what they've directed after the original Matrix movie has been disappointing.

The only memorable bits of 2 and 3 are the action scenes (highway chase and Neo clones vs Smith clones) and for Resurrections, not even that. Recasting both Morpheus and Smith made it even worse. Cloud Atlas... Idk, I'm sure someone liked it, I was close to falling asleep.

I will have to give Sense8 a shot one of these days, premise sounds interesting so maybe it'll redeem them in my eyes. Cautiously optimistic on that one, reviews seem to be good.

Literal blasphemy.

Are you referring to The Matrix or Bound?

Not even a strawman. I did actually hear the take "I refuse to play this videogame because the studio has ~~DIY~~ DEI policies."

Edit: DIY

“I refuse to play this videogame because the studio has DIY policies.”

I have an image in my head of someone being forced to build a shed before playing a game, getting frustrated, and giving up

How much software can be coded by autistic furry transgender pups, though? I only know one (possibly two) and most people I know in the industry only hit two or three out of four. /s

I used a wineprefix for arknight endfield made by what I think is so.

The Dawn Winery is their group handle.

At least her projects, potentially others lol

Well if you're okay with software made by people who only check a subset of those boxes...

I don't want software made by autistic furry transgender puppygirls; I want software made by autistic furry transgender CATgirls!

image isn't loading for be but from the comments I get the idea that it's a ragebait meme, so I will proceed to disagree and get really mad

grr this meme is very bad and it sucks, OP I hope you accidentally step on your cats tail 😡😡

Reminds of a fascinating story of an prehistoric Aryan shaman leader excavated in Germany in 30s who turned out to be a witch female with a unique genetic twist that gave her an ability to go in trance at will, and she was so important, her grave received sacrifices 400 years after she died.

If you haven't heard it yet

What the actual fuck, how are we rebooting movies left and right but not making this? She's called the Bad Dürrenberg shaman for christsake. Get Robert Eggers on this shit stat!

Studios only greenlight safe remakes these days. Look what happened with the new Tom Cruise film, they can't risk that.

Best part is I've actually heard great things about Digger and I can't wait to see it.

And I mean make this a feminist Nazi-sploitation movie a la X + Inglorious basterds and it's nearly pandering.

Hollywood can't do well and do well, though.

thanks for today's Wikipedia dive!

Welcome to today's 10,000 ♥️

I don’t even care who wrote my porn

Do people think shredded German guys are writing the majority of code in the industry?

Nazis do

Some of them can be pretty dumb. But even they would acknowledge nerd culture is behind a lot of tech development. And by extension, various other non-mainstream culture. (Not that shredded German guys are mainstream either.)

they just prefer not to think about it

Hey, give it enough time and everyone will come together to just care if it's AI slop or not.

I haven't heard anything like that except here lmao, good one...

A lot of pro-AI right wingers have issues with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent people in open source communities.

So they have an issue with the majority of their devs? Weird

Brian Lunduke alone made people assume any criticism of Rust is made in bad faith, all by focusing too much on the Rust community having trans people.

I'm trans and I like programming in Rust

Who in 2026 is still listening to that hack?

Way too many people. Just because you know he's a hack doesn't mean others also know he's a hack.

Democratization of coding == taking it back from the neurospicies

That's like taking control of your heart back from your autonomic nervous system. I'm sure you'd be very proud of yourself for about three seconds.

I don't think they care about neurodivergent people as long as they are also fash.

Until they'll deemed no longer useful.

i will only care who coded it if the Piece of software Sucks so i can know what are the best slurs to call them /j

There aren't enough swear-words in the English language, so now I'll have to call you perkeleen vittupää just to express my disgust and frustration with this crap.

- Linus Torvalds

See, in English you can be a dickhead. In Finnish and Estonian we're more equitable, you can also be a vagina head!

You know, having seen enough of Claude’s output, I am starting to sympathise with Linus.

Imagine spending your days sifting through an endless stream of questionable patches. We are all Linus now.

I agree with linus

Thank you I appreciate it

Remember this energy when a fucking AI does it.

Edit: this isn’t pro AI, it’s pro who gives a fuck about the author, just to be clear.

AI don't think or have feelings (it's debatable whether they're even AI or that's just marketing BS). False equivalency.

"AI" is kind of like the "No True Scotsman" fallacy. We've been through how many cycles of "If a computer can do <this>, it must be AI." *Make a computer that does <this>.* "That isn't how I meant. Now, if it can do <this>..." Of course, people have a hard time describing sentience and sapience, so why would it be a surprise that we have a hard time deciding if what we built sufficiently mimics them?

They really don't care as much as the anti-ai crowd. That's the sad fact of life, it's often just the mad men in the lift meme.
