The following artists are banned from the community.
It should be noted that when you make reports, it is your responsibility to provide rational reasoning why something should be removed. Saying it simply breaks community rules is not always good enough.
Note: This is not a rule, but a helpful suggestion.
When posting images, you should strive to add alt-text for screen readers to use to describe the image you're posting:
Another helpful thing to do is to provide a transcription of the text in your images, as well as brief descriptions of what's going on. (example)

A single panel comic with a malformed, slightly damaged, yet freshly built home in the background. In the foreground, a man in a hard hat and a reflective vest is speaking to another man, presumably the buyer, saying, βItβs called vibe construction. Iβm not even a contractor! Pretty soon all buildings will be made this way.β
Congrats weβve looped around to why construction regulations exist
And why AI companies push back hard on regulations and accountability.
You need to install your own plumbing though because all pipes for the next two years are earmarked for data centers.
Lorax house
.......at what point am I allowed to just start burning everything to the ground? THIS is the reality I've gotta live through??? Fuck that!!! Fuck AI!!! Fuck "vibes"!!! I just want to be able to eat lettuce without feeling like I'm prepping for a colonoscopy!!!!
Burn it. Burn down society. Burn it all. I will not sit by as our country is presided by a pedophile rapist. Why is ANYONE ok with this???
Burn it down.
Gives too much credit.
It would in all likelihood have two exterior doors but neither of them would be at ground level
Well from the outside it looks something like a house. Itβs only when you go inside you realize itβs all cardboard toothpicks and super glue holding it up. Thereβs no bathrooms or closets. Just a living room. A single room.
Ooooh.
Now I finally understand where those hotels with glass doors and walls for the toilet are coming from recently!
It has no doors, and that brown thing is just a painting of a door in an otherwise solid wall. The windows, too.
This is why real engineers (as opposed to software "engineers") are licensed.
both are real engineers (but no, a simple programmer is not a software engineer), so you can skip the quotes. but yes, CIVIL engineers are licensed, opposed to most other (mechanical, electrical....) engineers
I am someone who has worked professionally as both a civil engineer and a software "engineer." When I put scare quotes around the latter, I mean them.
The difference in rigor, sense of responsibility for the public good, and especially power to push back against harmful ideas by management, is shocking.
DRM, enshittification, dark patterns, Cambridge Analytica, sneaky "telemetry:" none of that shit would be allowed to exist because it would violate professional ethical standards, if software "engineering" were a real profession that had any!
