Possiblylinux127 is the only Linux l don't like

Needless to say, people don't like you.

The painting is Friend or Foe by Robert Griffing. While he's not native american, I can't find anything to suggest his paintings were not made with a consideration for real history and an appreciation of the culture he's depicting. His paintings are featured in many native american-run museums.

The image is a European idealism of native Americans

Okay I can almost understand that

it is talking about all of Japan as if everyone there were the same.

My fucking god are we to just completely ignore the fact that we are from different places and that we think, act differently based on culture? That we look different and eat different and say different?

No, actually it's not. It's actually well know how Japanese culture actually affects programming. I, a software engineer who has worked with many other cultures, can confirm that culture affects quality. I'm not saying I'm perfect, but I am saying that culture affects work.

Indian culture is interesting because you never say no to your boss. Even if you don't understand something, or don't have all the information you need, you say yes. Do you understand? Yes. Are you sure, it's okay to ask me clarifying questions. "Yes, I'm sure". Then they give me something that doesn't work because they didn't understand the question.

Japanese is another culture that's slightly different, but if your boss asks you to do something not only do you say yes, you also don't ask for help to do it. You brute force it done, put in long hours, and you get it done. However, in software that's a horrible way to operate because we need to not just get the current problem done, but you need to build something that others will use later, that will be reused, that will be expanded and shared with and by other teams. So what you get is quite literally this - poorly optimized code from many people whose code doesn't really work well together.

So, none of these are stereotypes. In fact, as engineers it would be culturally insensitive if I wasn't aware of this and assumed people worked in the same way as Americans. Your virtue signalling is pretty transparent. Yes, it's humorous, but it's also 100% the truth. They're not bad coders, but their culture does not breed great software projects.

What's the European idealism of Native Americans in the image? I've seen it a lot, but I never learned about the piece or the artist

It's true I was there. I was the racism

Woosh
