Doesn’t Matrix also have ties to AI/cryptobro bullshit too?

I know, though it is a bit worrying that it was there in the first place

I’d have to go back and find the comment where someone told ME but at that rate I should just search for it myself. I’ll bookmark this comment so I don’t forget to.

Be weary of Stoat. I hear they used AI “generated” code in their software and only quit it because they got caught.

Oh for sure, that’s one the benefits of open source stuff, you can do that in the first place. I just mean that seeing blame be misplaced gets under my skin, especially when it comes from such a disingenuous place.

Thank you. It’s so infuriating to come into threads like this to find “If you don’t like it, do it yourself” and shit like that. All it does is remove blame from the person making an ignorant decision, and place it on those rightfully upset because “Maybe the dev wouldn’t have been forced to use the environment destroying plagiarism machine if you have been more generous with your time.”

Nobody’s only policing those in arm’s length. I’m sure nobody mad at the Lutris dev over this are defending Google or Microsoft lol

The dev “owes us” as people to not be a shitty person, or at the very least, we should expect them not to be one. It absolutely is a slap in the face to people who trusted that project and the person heading it to not be shit, because they are now being shit, and people are right to call them out. Because they’re being shit.

Also you’re right, more people should donate to FLOSS projects that they love and use frequently, as do I. As someone with no programming knowledge, it’s all I can do aside from recommending your software to others. Wanna know one way to ensure I’ll not only withhold donations but warn others not to use or trust your software? Defending and/or using AI slop machines.

Even if that were true, which it isn’t, there are plenty of other reasons to scrutinize any use of “generative” AI.

110%. I still haven’t even played Sonic Frontiers all the way through bc the only way to play it without that shit is to emulate a console. The only emulatable version of the game is the Switch version, and my machine isn’t up to the task because of all the overhead.

I assume you either mean financially or in terms of general support and word of mouth. Trust me, I wish I could be a dev so, so badly, but as interesting as code and computers are, I’m light years away from getting in there and being able to fuck with shit. I love learning about programming, but I’m not the best at actually learning it. lmao

I say, as I sit in a first level computer science class, typing this because I’m totally lost in the actual lecture.

Wayyy ahead of you!

And here I thought AMD was somehow a better option.

That is one strong ear

I might need to look into what the hell ChapoTrapHouse is now lol

Problem is, I’ve heard, that .ml and .world share funding and isn’t .dev tankie ridden too? Either that or it’s full of AI bros, I could be wrong.

Jesus is that what’s happening? I’m not strictly a communist or anarchist (tho I consider them my allies) but maybe that’s because the ones I’ve encountered are upfront and honest about who they are and what they believe instead of trying to obfuscate it lol Aside from outright trolling, what is even the point of acting this way? I genuinely don’t get it from any perspective.

I mean it seems pretty alive to me on a community level, it’s just that the devs make it’s failure inevitable, which is why I jumped ship over here to PieFed within two months.

I would, and did in another community, but my post got taken down by a Blahaj mod because they didn’t want to further the harassment even potentially, which I understand to be fair.
