Cultural Cargo Cults Ethics and Taoism – Xenofact.com

The cargo cult on the island of Tanna in the New Hebridies says their messiah John Frum will return on February 15th, but the year remains unknown https://toilet-guru.com/overview-faith.html?s=mb #CargoCult #Apocalypse #prophecy

This is why I basically call all modern #UIDesign a #CargoCult.

Tactile considerations were precisely what went into UI Design 40 years ago.

Now, it's all about surface-level aesthetics, and it has broken so many fundamental things, argh.

#CargoCult, man. #Apple is just a multi-trillion-dollar cargo cult at this point. :(

All of the people who understood why things were done a certain way have either (sadly) died or (gladly) retired, or just moved on.

The so-called #audiophile community is famous for the amount of #woo that passes for knowledge or expertise.

When you look at the DIY audio community - building things up from #electronic components or modules - you add in the cargo-cult processes used by people with no basic electronics knowledge building these things, and the false-but-confident beliefs of those with some knowledge but more assurance of their own intelligence 🙄 - and you get some real doozies in discussion threads [1] on audio/electronics fora.

I just came across one that will stick with me:

A: I saw some people are doing <X> to increase the bass from this little amp. Should I do it?

B (actually knowledgeable): Depends on the design. If it's lacking <Y>, it can help the subjective bass response of the amp.

C (overly confident): BS! OBJECTIVELY (!) you get more and better boom.
Boom-boom, you know? Your guts will tell you the objective truth.

... that is LITERALLY the definition of "subjective". 🤣

[1] A.K.A. arguments on the instalment plan.

Die #AfD steht für #cargocult - #Politik

Der dazu passende Gedankengang:

Was haben wir gemacht, als wir in Deutschland das letzte Mal Zukunftsglauben hatten? Richtig! #Braunkohle , #Kernkraft, absolutes Primat des #PKW , und die Ausländer hießen noch Gastarbeiter statt potenzielle Neubürger zu sein.

Sonnenklare Argumentation für vernünftige #normale Leute:
das machen wir wieder genauso, dann wird alles gut.

Ein Klassiker des agilen Theaters, perfekt beobachtet von @deinol

Man sitzt in einer vierstündigen Scrum-Schulung. Das erste große Thema ist die entscheidende Rolle des Product Owners. Und wer fehlt natürlich in der Schulung?

In a 4 hour SCRUM training session at work. The very first section is on the product owner and how important they are for the process. Too bad we don’t have any of the product owners in this training. 😅🤣😭 #CubicleLife #SCRUM #CorporateCulture #AgileWaterfall

Ha, Beweis erbracht! Nur weil man was in einer speichersicheren Sprache geschrieben hat, ist es noch lange nicht sicher!
Bis gestern konnte ich noch ein #sudo_rs-Passwort erlangen, wenn ich den Admin während der Eingabe desselbigen von der Tastatur weg gelockt habe. Voll gefährlich!
Da bleibt man doch lieber bei #C_ollectionOfAsmMacros, denn Milliarden von Entwicklerstunden können nicht irren! Nimm das, #CargoCult!
