I feel like 90% of these weird-ass tech start-ups are just cults for cis het dudes who think emotions are logic.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

these people truly are the worst
(e: I want to be very clear here: this isn't meant to be kinkshaming, but as a particular highlight of their specific focuses being of a really particular slant)
i checked and you're allowed to kinkshame rationalists

we’re looking for a sneerious name for a collaborative design/programming community for non-dickheads, like hacker news but not shit. thread your suggestions here!
I'm feeling uncreative but it's a shame giggle academy is taken
"painter news" could be a nice jab at PG's "Hackers & Painters"
"bikeshed painters club" comes to mind, but probably also too long
we don't want to mislead the actual painters
I would gladly take any number of actual painters over some of the programmers I've had to deal with contributing to open source projects
Oh are you looking for an open source contributor? I heard about this great helpful guy, Jia, he’s looking for a new project this week. Heard had some really novel ways of really seeing into your product…
oh I've heard of that dev - apparently they really like to focus on areas with wide impact! just the sort of dev you want in your team!
has very helpful friends too

The MIT alum in me wants to devise some variation on "Building 20" that conveys a "but without the worse aspects of MIT subculture" kind of message.
“MIT-style culture but not run by the worst people you know” is exactly the kind of thing I’d like to convey
e: also, implicitly, without the shit bigotry hiding under the surface that those worst people imbued the culture with
So, Harvey Mudd?
Now I hope all the dumb MIT subculture jokes actually exist on student forums, where they belong. Because I can't stop thinking of them now that you've got me started.
* Stata because none of our angles will be right angles.
* Course Six Sigma
* Infinite Sneeridor
Oh god I have to stop before I get to all the "Beaver" jokes.
Six Double Oh Eww
I originally wanted "freeasinbothpieces", which sums up the idea precisely, but five words is a bit much even with camel case
That could be the hostname for the forge instance(s)
Or the backups
The Margaret Hamilton Society
the more I think about it, the more I like this one too

("runk" and "GNU/Scrotum" are right out)
runk sounds it would be the name of a rust variant of troff
Nah it’s masturbation in Swedish.
More specifically, "en runk" is analogous to "a wank", but it's not idiomatic.
wanking = "att runka"
I wanked = "jag runkade"
I had a wank = "jag tog en runk", non-idiomatic. You'd say "jag runkade". If you want to use a noun, "jag drog en tralla".
so 100% in the tradition of the area of software that thought a good name for its photoshop clone would be "gimp"
fascinating, thanks for mentioning :)
GNU/Scrotum is a great name for a lemmy fork, but Richard’s copyright lawyers would probably sue me and the settlement terms would involve him eating his foot skin on my couch and leeching off of my wifi from his 2004 laptop for 12-24 months
You can deflect him with an inexpensive cleric spell (somatic components: broccoli and a copy of Microsoft Windows).
he’ll probably draw a significant amount of power from the fact that some of the walls in my house contain GNU utilities running on small Linux systems
I heard if you make minor modifications to those but then don't publish source (along with branding them and dropping license files) then he can take 20d6 psychic damage
Ah, but you just dealt a small amount of damage by saying "Linux".
Richard’s 2004 laptop runs FreeDOS but he find/replaced all instances of “FreeDOS” in the code to “GNU/Hurd”
spider plants are canonical

was pretty surprising when the sensible people took over at OSI and FSF got worse and worse
