Their infrastructure could really be better. It's a fine distro though.

Brave of you to assume someone got a machine dryer. My dryer got a bunch of long metal rods, is foldable and preferably uses solar power. ☀️

Printers for businesses and complex materials still are. Look at the Prusa Pro SLX or Pro AFS (which, to be fair, is a scalable automated print farm).

Reminds me of people getting really pissy if babies aren't correctly coloured. A baby with lots of yellow, orange, green things? No car or doll either? How are we supposed to know what's between its legs?!

Anyway, cultural expectations are annoying and creepy.

It's kinda sad. I felt the maintainers feeling of being overwhelmed and underappreciated, but that whole discussion in the issue and the later statement to just hide AI use was such a phenomenal PR debacle he'll probably never get rid of.

Lutris was pretty good…

The funniest thing about this is that it needs a single Bash script and a cronjob to solve (unless they got a REALLY bad hoster).

That bash script probably exists a bazillion times already… so even an LLM could spit it out for them.

Their organisational structure must be abhorrent for nobody to feel even remotely responsible for this.

Another commenter just made me aware that the maintainer moved back on his hiding of Claude (because it "apparently is a big deal"… yeah, what tipped you off Sherlock?), which is good. But it's still being used, so… still bad.

Thanks for the update, so at least he doesn't hide it anymore. I wouldn't call that "reversing his stance on AI" though, he didn't say he'd stop using the slop cannon. Just that he doesn't hide it anymore, which quite frankly is the absolute bare minimum.

The concept suffers a little bit with graphical applications. They don't exactly have equivalents to stdin, stdout and stderr which you could pipe or read/write willy-nilly.

RetroArch isn't far off from the philosophy I think, those emulation cores are pretty much independent projects plugged into a frontend. Unfortunately that default frontend is pretty clunky and doesn't come with sane defaults for known ROMs. Or even sane menu navigation tbh, main menu and game menu looked way too similar last time I used it…

"weird" is not the first word that comes to mind for me about this.

I still know it as Layer 8 issue.

Some even iron them for some reason.

Excellent question. On the other hand, as a trans woman, I can absolutely confirm strangers to apparently constantly thinking about other people's genitals. They seem very interested in all the details of someone elses sex life, yet never want to fuck. Disappointing.

Usually electricity.

As long as you make sure he can breath unobstructed. People who buy these breeds willingly and then don't even have a vet check their breathing (I know from dogs they more often than not can't breath through their nose without surgery) should honestly be treated like animal abusers. Same with Sphynx cats (though those unfortunately can't be treated to have fur again…), I do not understand what's wrong with people sometimes, is their empathy switch turned off or sth…

She literally only looks sideways.

Philips screws are intentionally made to strip though. Even the best material can't fully offset bad design.

Sounds like quitter talk to me. It's not like AI is an evolutionary process that just happens somewhere, it's a localized tool - and even if it spreads itself, that would be by far the most humonguous virus ever. I think those authors just write down their own fears.

The ending is rather unsatisfactory.

Real developers know LLMs are basically just a tool for finding examples and helping with syntax.

Your words on gods ears. I also found it to be reasonably useful when you're stuck in the documentation of a library clearly written by and for people who already know it.

Unfortunately people who do not understand code are blissfully ignorant at what garbage they have the machine spit out. Of course until the LLM nukes their whole project folder or even disk because the probability engine unfortunately picked "clean slate" as the most probable next thing. Not as if that ever happened at companies, lol.
