you may wanna consider the fact that subcultures contain more than one individual and they are not in fact a homogeneous biomass with a single opinion

yes, but as long as it makes a profit it doesn't really matter, why would they want to lose money on a chunk of population

ELI5: How does Frame Generation even work?
It does so at the cost of latency. It does not actually predict the next frame, it renders two full frames and then interpolates one frame between them. So it looks smoother but your input also takes that much longer to be displayed on the screen

The problem with forks like that is that the authors later realise the burden of having to maintain a complex piece of software and then they fizzle out.

We can't just call AI-generated code slop anymore
Cryptography is notoriously easy to get wrong. If you don't know enough about it - you should not offload it to the hallucination machine, because you will not be able to verify it properly, and those who can - will not bother to.
This is not what a real audit looks like and it should not be presented as such. This "audit" is, in fact, slop.
Auditor: Security Analysis (Automated + Manual Review)
Do you not see the problem in this line?
The implementation uses real cryptographic primitives
Or this?

of course they asked for a professional one... but those that ask, must know that they are all prohibitively expensive. especially for a solo vibecoding dev like myself
then... vibe-code something else?.. why do you think that you should be making something you are not an expert in, that can potentially put your users into danger and make you liable for it? if it's a learning project - great, go wild. but if it's intended to be used, then sorry - this is just an irresponsible approach that should not be entertained by anyone. I get that you have "positive intentions" but pick some other venue that you can get right. or contribute to an existing project (being mindful of contribution guidelines).

Private music?
Self-host Navidrome. Choose any of the clients that you like. Pirate stuff from big bands, buy stuff from smaller bands.
Cons: You'd have to deal with storage and hosting and access from outside your house e.g. with Tailscale. You'd also have to tag incorrectly tagged songs (surprisingly common issue, sometimes pirates tag stuff better than the bands themselves)

JavaScript - To Semicolon, Or Not To Semicolon;
Reply in thread
No, talking about semicolons and tabs and spaces for the umpteenth time is not how we build real skills, and you shouldn't waste your time "thinking" about it. You should run a linter that will format it for you and you should choose formatting rules that everyone working on the codebase in the future would be mostly OK with. Splitting hairs about when to insert a semicolon ain't it.

rsync is being vibe coded now. We are so cooked.
If you don't trust the guy who "literally invented rsync in 1996" to do right by his project which he has been doing quite all right with for the past 28 years, then I don't know how to help you. I'd like to put forward an insane idea that he might know what he's doing and is not vibecoding with a blindfold on and a beer in his hand.

I'm of a firm opinion that no game needs a remake. Fixing up old games so that they can be played on modern systems - yes please. Remaking the same game but """better""" - no thanks, I'd rather see something original and new come out
There are some exceptions like Pathologic 2 which is basically a remake but also a reimagining, but those are exceedingly rare.
