There’s following the law, and then there’s giving away data to government agency just because they asked nicely, and could MAYBE get a warrant in the future. It is the equivalent of letting police into your house without a warrant, because maybe they’ll get one.

Of course we would exclude a product from one of the biggest industries at fault for literally every single common environmental issue we have. Animal AG is horrible for everyone involved and not involved.

Can you explain how it can be a biodegradable and somehow outlast everything after being pumped full of chemicals? The entire point of tanning is taking a biodegradable natural material, and make it not that.

Also, tanning and all the resources that go into the cow make leather actually much worse than the alternatives. And that’s ignoring all the natural alternatives, like pineapple leather, or cork.

It’s not a byproduct. As long as it makes money, it’s a product. It supports the industry that is arguably the worst and most wasteful industry we have, the animal ag industry.

Don’t worry, if they just add an empty soulless open world to every franchise (Metroid?) that’ll surely make their games great again.

It’s funny how we never count the thousands of games you can only play on PC as exclusives. If we throw in emulators and backwards compatibility, there’s just absolutely no contest.

Not to say that there aren’t great exclusives for the consoles, just that the PC ones seem to always get ignored.

You won’t believe how much time I can get out of a PC, if I wanted to. Backwards compatibility plus frequent sales, plus emulators and mods.

There’s a bunch of reasons why someone might prefer one over the other, but longevity absolutely goes to PC, no question.

This really depends on the project. For example, if you’re creating a CRUD web app for managing some kind of data, the main tough decisions involve system and data architecture. After that, most other work is straight forward menial work. It doesn’t take a genius to validate a gajillion text fields for a specific min and max length, map them to the correct field in the API, validate on the server again, and write them to the correct database field.

I agree that AI might screw companies over in the long run, when there’s no more juniors that can become seniors. That doesn’t apply to this case at all.

You do have to consider that this is an opensource developer creating something free in his free time. The app is also not life or death. Meaning, his quality standards are UNDERSTANDABLY not as high as if he was working for money on a banks money system.

In the end, all of the complainers are welcome to do the work themselves. That way, he won’t have to use AI at all.

No, vibe coding explicitly requires NEVER looking at the actual code. I can give claude a ticket, it creates a plan. I review that plan, maybe change some things. Then claude does the thing. I review the code, then tell claude to fix X. Then I test, then I tell claude to create a commit.

There we have claude creating a commit without any of it being vibe coded

From his perspective, he’s investing his free time and likely money into a project for people that are 99% of the time just leechers, as in they never contribute back and only complain.

Now he has a tool that he feels helps him deal with all that FREE labor is doing for everyone, and the very same people now want to tell him how to do his FREE labor he does for them.

I completely understand being pissed off by that.

So your feelings are more important than the oppression of all the minoritzed groups?

If they do, like they love to pretend to, then they are part of the people responsible for all the horrible things Trump is doing. If they’re not, then why should anyone care?

What’s your alternative that isn’t completely insane, “The Revolution will come” levels stupid? What a politician actually supports (instead of what they say) is the CLOSEST we will ever get objective proof of a candidates position.

Funny, that works just as well in reverse: If “the left” is big enough that all the posturing about not voting for the lesser evil, and the moral purity BS caused Trump to win, they are responsible for untold horrors simply because they want to grand stand. If they aren’t big enough, they’re irrelevant anyway, so why would anyone care?

Dated means a fuckton in the Desktop world. Browsers get updates regularly, so do games and graphics drivers. There’s nothing “stable” about a website not working correctly just because my browser version is ancient and coming from the official repo.

Thank god flatpak has made people see the light, at least a little bit.

I’ll agree on the update thing, but absolutely NOT on any of the other parts. Things like OneDrive are ENTIRELY about money.

With the update thing, even “pros” were incredibly lazy with updates in the past. Having automatic updates at least as the default is entirely correct.
