A bit unrelated to the joke, but I am sad at how acceptable it has become taking pictures of people in public ~~to make fun of them.~~

Street photography isnβt so bad, as long as itβs not a hidden cam.
I donβt generally like my picture taken, but Iβd have no problem if it just some person with a real camera taking casual pictures of crowds for fun.
What makes it creepy (to me) if itβs someone trying to hide it with a smartphone, or Meta glasses.
edit: Itβs also nothing new. Street photographers have been around forever, long before digital cameras. It was pretty acceptable when I was a kid with a flip phone.
I made a pull request today! It didn't get merged but I think I can use the fork on my own. How do I switch Firefox a local PDF.js without recompiling the whole browser?
Firefox loads PDF.js using a resource URL (resource://) and those are sourced from a JAR file (omni.ja) so you would have to find that file in your local installation and patch the archive with your customized version.
In what world are two women having a conversation on their own interested in a random dude on a train anyway?
Was going to say. This seems like the most polite kind of person you're going to meet on the subway. Dude's not manspreading, not gawking, not trying to get their attention, literally bumped up against a woman and not trying to cop a feel.
This is the Ideal Male Commuter. You may not like him, but this is what peak performance looks like.
yes
Theyβre all weird. Everyone knows youβre supposed to stare into the abyss until itβs time to get off at your stop.
You mean the abyssal screen of one's smartphone?
Sure, or the thousand yard stare, if youβre old school.
"Oh wow! This is the most interesting power pole i think i have ever seen. WAIT!... This other power pole is much more interesting!"
Wow a man not sexually assaulting women in the train. What a creep
Yep all is cool until he does exactly that and the script turns upside down.
OH! When a man does it he's "based" but when I'm too busy contributing to FOSS I'm "frigid". Rude!
I imagine their conversation's about writer modes for emacs.
I knew it! He's must be using vim. Mystery solved.
Maybe he already has a partner or is doing something important...
Yes, he's doing something important by contributing to open source.
Why would he bother risking harassment allegations from strangers?
Literally me
Clearly he should be inviting then to murder his wife in exchange for him murdering their husbands. That's what strangers on a train do, right?
πΆπΈ Saaaailing, takes me to where I'm always.....

Wish I was intelligent enough to contribute meaningfully. Instead I just consume and occasionally donate.
Thank you all for your kind replies. Wasn't fishing for encouragement but I do appreciate it.
If you ever want to grow capability of technical contributions, you are welcome but not necessary.
I would much prefer someone that accepts their level of contribution than one who thinks "Claude can make me a valuable contributor even if I have no idea how to".
From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs.
Donating is a meaningful contribution
That's enough, if there's something you like then contributing to documentation is something that's more available to the general populace.
Hey now...
I really don't mean this as an insult, but you don't need to be 'smart' to contribute.
Take a picture of a bunny, post it to bun alert.
Take a picture of your balls, post it to gone wild.
(well ok maybe don't jump straight to that)
Ask a stupid question on no stupid questions.
Have a political opinion, on the internet.
Find a niche comm for a video game and ask something about it.
Find a neat chart and post it to data is beautiful.
Probably the worst thing that can happen is ... some random assholes give you the wrong color arrow thingy. Who cares! Fuck em! Its just numbers on a screen!
Ask a stupid question on no stupid questions.
Hey, it's no stupid questions. Only smart questions allowed.

imagine not knowing basic public transport etiquette.
two friends sitting next to you is not an invite for sex.
Public transport etiquette is not standing in front of the door while people get out. Not hitting on every girl that sits next to you is like... basic human decency.
You clearly don't watch the same films I do!
Agreed. The woman in the middle should tell the other to please stop interrupting and continue pair programming

Sitting next to a (supposedly) random dude and visibly being comfortable and not nervous is a green flag for the programmer.
It means heβs showered in the last week.
Hey! We need to save water for starving LLMs!

"You're near a woman and aren't sexually assaulting them? What are you gay?"
Guys is it gay to respect women?
Too many think it is gay to respect anything.
But they start crying when they don't get the respect they should be giving to others.
Well considering pleasuring your girlfriend or wife is considered gay, probably yes.
