“performance”

Looks to me like the reader (the Linux user) is identifying with the subject of the image, which would appear to put them in a sympathetic light.

Can we avoid using the space tourists for memes?

Unless we’re ridiculing them, obvs.

Turns out you’re actually right, as there were similar experiments performed on rats, with similar results, so I redacted my comment.

Still feel like it’s not necessarily a good idea to apply the lessons to human society, but… yeah, depressing outcomes.

edit: see response to OP, below

FYI, it’s very important to note that these are mice, not rats, which have drastically different social dynamics. I don’t know if this experiment has been repeated with rats, (and I rather hope not) but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a very different outcome.

Likewise, humans are very different animals, and we should be very cautious about projecting these results onto society.

Only NOW?

tl;dr tl;dr: use a modern compiler.

Can we just not with the AI-generated illustrations?

The fact that someone else fixed the issue doesn’t really excuse the absolutely unacceptable original response to a very reasonable request.

I’m much more interested in seeing an apology, or any sort of indication that the dev understands how disrespectful they were.
