yep, that’s basically my thought.

“if you can’t say something nice, don’t say anything at all” is what my momma taught me.

if it’s malicious that’s one thing, if it’s free and open source who gives a rats ass how it was made.

oh no your free thing you didn’t pay for gets abandoned? why don’t you take up the reins?

just feels like asking a lot of people and giving them nothing in return

Fair points, I concede.

As someone who has built a lot of software it’s hard to see people treat LLMs as useless when they are shooting themselves in the foot by doing so.

anecdotally, I’ve built a lot of projects and abandoned them because I ran out of time. With an LLM to reduce the input effort I actually think I would’ve maintained them longer.

do you have a source which backs up what you’re claiming?

it shouldn’t matter.

these tools are here to stay.

yes you are right and everyone else is a little uneducated for thinking this could actually be a fire risk

you are absolutely right. there is value to these in software engineering and the people who don’t realize that and learn how and when to apply them will be left behind

The irony here is if you host your open source project somewhere where it isn’t being scraped by LLMs your legal case might be weaker.

What an interesting idea

I think it might be hard to argue that it is a clean room implementation if the project is in the training data for the model, which it probably will have been

exact same story as I. have also been eyeballing NixOS lol. big time investment for me though

Yeah, fair. Where fiber can be run fiber should be run.

Just scarred from all the times where we spend x billion to expand fiber, it doesn’t happen, somehow nobody gets held accountable.

I mean damn, at least Starlink is providing a service

I’ve been using Projectivy. It’s really simple and great!

Not like these ones. I’m almost tired of having this discussion y’all are blinded by hatred.

First full flow staged combustion engine, dramatically lower launch prices than competitors (cheaper for the government and has enabled more interesting things to go to space), dramatically more access (SpaceX flies multiple times a week!), booster recovery & rocket reuse.

And again I know everyone really is blinded by their seething rage but starship is going to change the whole landscape again.

You can hate the man as much as you want, I’m not saying I don’t. But you discredit yourself by not knowing what SpaceX is actually doing.

I mean, we still wouldn’t have US access to space without SpaceX (Boeing fiasco…).

SpaceX has developed laundry list of new technology to enable Starlink and other endeavors. It’s silly to discount that as worthless.

even less for Starlink

it’s such a game changer when you’re actually using it. night and day, completely different experience.

also, GEO is in many regards more at risk for Kessler syndrome because stuff up there doesn’t deorbit

I don’t think you’ve ever used Starlink if you think clouds make it fail.

…you do realize it started in Seattle, right?

you can change the home screen. I did that on my android tv. android tv kinda rocks actually

probably not a realistic take, even if I agree with it.

Whatsapp is so popular that if you’re outside of the US the expectation is not weird

I love Gnome. People love to hate it, but it’s workflow is SO good.

I think people just get annoyed that they can’t force it to be whatever they want it to be. Which is fine, that’s why other options exist!

But if you really go to the content-focused, workspace + keyboard shortcut flow Gnome is incredibly efficient, consistent, and stable.

Unpopular opinion #2: I love libadwaita and GTK4. Basically, I enjoy when devs are opinionated about things and build what they want to see in the world.

The adaptive part of libadwaita is really exciting for different form factors!

MDM on MacOS still kinda sucks compared to Linux or Windows. I mean, it’s fine. But they genuinely have work to do there
