I guess I'm not surprised that programmers don't know how to follow meme standards.

The three panels following the first one are supposed to be helping the first one.

143
- I am altering the meme. Pray I do not alter it any further.

  Senior developer here, it looks like they are helping to me.

- Yeah but it's funny in a different way; they are giving ignorant and condescending advice because while big cats have impressive hunting abilities, they don't normally hunt mice.

  The person you're responding to is giving advice in an ignorant and condescending way as a joke
  
  25
- Part of language (which memes are a part of) is changing it to express new ideas and new forms of humor.
  
  30
- Is anyone going to tell them about stack overflow, or...
  
  29
- how dare people alter the meaning of a meme? there are meme standards for a reason!! /s

  We live in a society. We have laws. And order.

- Polymorphic meme
  
  5
- This is a pretty old meme now. It's a bit late for that.

“Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”

“Read the wiki”

“Nobody here is interested in holding your hand.”

- “Insufficient detail. Please ask a specific question.”
  
  This is a very real problem from the answering side. So many people would rather have you guess what they're trying to ask and then get mad at you when you guess wrong.

  I know whenever I try to help someone with a Linux issue it's always an uphill battle to get them to stop guessing what they think the problem might be and show me the logs.
  
  People really don't want to give you the information you need to help them.
  
  21
  
  Yep. I do triage on potentially bad questions and this is probably the most common response I give.

- Stop, stop. It hurts, it's too real.

- man mouse

“Relying on humans” is open to interpretation.

77
- For food. You know... nom nom (the humans as food I am hinting at!:-P).

I once submitted an issue to a devs GitHub. The apps login page would not load without large bg pictures loading first. I asked if he could add an option to disable it in the settings, as my self hosted site was slow.

I essentially got back, "why would I do that? It's not an issue for me! Besides the login page should load before the background picture" issue closed

😑😑😑😑

It's like you're SO CLOSE to seeing the issue.

- Similar thing here. I once went to a Minecraft mod dev's discord to ask if there was a way to center the health bars that come with his mod. He basically said "you're the only person who has ever asked for this, everyone else just puts it in a corner of their screen". I feel centering is a basic feature of any adjustable UI element!

  I kinda get it, mod authors (and FOSS devs) often get a lot of requests for something they're doing in their free time without pay. If they already have a backlog, they have to be picky about what tasks they take on, and they can get a bit snippy when overwhelmed with requests (or questions that might turn into one). That being said, there's no reason to be rude.

This image macro is supposed to be supportive

42
- So was stackoverflow when it began

I'd rather rather run my nuts through a wringer than deal with that shit.

31
- Hey u/wringer4u
  
  7
- Heyy...

Can confirm, the support forum crowd are dicks

It's an X Y problem. Please retell the history, starting from your birth, that led to this moment before I contemplate answering your question

Signed, somebody who would rather waste your time than answer the bloody question.

Anti Commercial-AI license

27
- My for-profit large language model will not be stopped by your "anti commercial ai license" because it hasn't learned to read yet.

  Ive seen people link that one multiple times and i am at a loss what its about.
  
  The cc 4.0 license it points to does not mention AI at all.
  
  CC even has a page where they state that it probably is legal to train on cc protected content but it depends on context.
  
  https://creativecommons.org/2023/08/18/understanding-cc-licenses-and-generative-ai/
  
  I think someone used ai to mean attribution/alike, international. Which are part of the full name (Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International) but still make little sense as an acronym next to CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 being the official acronym.

- Reporter: [REDACTED]
  Reason: Spam/misinformation: Not an anti-AI licence.
  
  This person may be confused, but still your tagline is a waste of mods’ time. And just speaking as a user I find it to be annoying visual pollution, especially since I think it’s ineffectual, unless your only goal is to “raise awareness.” Beyond that I think any effectiveness is about as plausible as that of sovereign citizenship.

"Catching mice is a stupid question."

23
Well this makes me feel better about my stupid questions on stack overflow.

13
- Look at this fancy person with enough reputation to ask a question
  
  10
  
  I know you're trying to make a joke about SO's restrictive rep system, but asking and answering questions doesn't require reputation, at all. If anything, that's where you start building rep.

- It was a fun project to set up a FreeBSD laptop until I stumbled upon the WiFi issue, but I didn't notice any advantage over just using Debian.
