I won’t speak for others, but as the maintainer of Jellyfin for Roku, I love contributions from everyone!

Nope. Don’t like that 🤢

“Is this some kind of joke?”

Yes, that’s exactly what this is.

If there were, I’d soooo develop for it.

Wild. 💰

I may be considering AI usage from a different angle. I’m less interested in the technical side than I am from the moral side.

AI companies trained their agents using open source software, did not contribute back to the code, did not credit the authors, and now want to sell it back to the same people they ripped off.

As an open source project maintainer, I’m disgusted by this.

I’m also a musician. AI companies trained agents on other people’s music without giving anything back to them. This also is disgusting.

AI trained on people’s work now lets you circumvent paying the original creators.

Add to this resource usage and environmental impact.

This is why I see AI usage as immoral. It hurts real people.

I work on Jellyfin, but don’t like beets. Do I need to fork again?

“Software will be built by machines, directed by people.”

Oh my lord. Is this a delayed April Fools post?

Our lives are in the hands of product managers driving programming decisions.

Oh, sorry. I just realized I repeated what you said.

I love reading feel good news stories. 🤗

There is a Jellyfin app that works well though.

🤘 Sweet

🤔 Technically, #1 could mean buy a new, other type of, device.

Nice!

🤘 Glad it was useful.

2. Do I need a #2?

Helping test!!! We on the Jellyfin for Roku team have been begging peeps to help test code changes and releases before they are published for years. We get oh so little response, so it mostly ends up the two of us test each others changes on our 2 or 3 devices and if it works, it goes out.

We’re begging for testers. I’m sure other projects are as well.

😞 He doesn’t like our Roku client.

“works OK”

🤘 I’ll take it!
