Honestly in terms of late 1800s engineering, pi = 3.2 is accurate within 2% it’s not that scandalous

So yes, you think this is normal human behaviour. Good luck with that shit, i hope the world treats you with the same energy.

Go back to 4chan, troll

I used to collect books and the cheapest option at the time was ebay. I would search things like “science fiction bulk” and select the lot with the best titles. Generally I could find some around 1€ per book, don’t know if that’s still plausible.

Is it appropriate to ask a stranger a question by first calling their work “slop” ? Is that how you communicate with people ? How is that working out irl ?

Y’all are so immersed in bully culture that this seems normal to you smh

The junior analogy comes to mind. If you hire a fresh face and they ship code that doesn’t work, it’s definitely on you, bro.

I don’t know what they are using cause all agents routinely do that. I suspect they are fibbing or tested things out in 2024 and never updated their opinion.

Just yesterday I had one of those moments of grace that are becoming commonplace.

Basically I have to migrate a service from a n8n workflow to an actual nodejs server for performance reasons. I spent 15 minutes carefully scoping the migration, telling it exactly what tools to use and code style to adopt. Gave it the original brief and access to the n8n workflows.

The whole thing was done in 4 minutes and 30 seconds. It even noticed a bug which has been in production unnoticed for the past year. Gave me some good documentation on how to setup the Google service account, the kind of memory usage to expect so I can dimension the instant accordingly. Another five minutes and I had a whole test suite with decent coverage. I had negotiated with the client that it would take around a week, well that was the under promise of the year…

People who go around telling it doesn’t work are incompetent, out of their minds or straight up lying.

Recently finished a side project and I was glad I could go with pure login/pass auth. No email no oauth, just a pass phrase for account recovery. It’s refreshing and so damn simple.

And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen. Gloves are off.

What a load of brainrot. You’re a psychopath if you believe it’s okay to campaign against a volunteer developer for the sin of having created free stuff in a way that doesn’t 100% aligns with your values. On reddit, lemmy, fucking Xitter of all places, on Discord, on Github. Yup. Totally normal way to treat a guy who’s been pivotal to gaming on linux for 2 decades while you sat on your collective asses.

I get that we live in an ultra-individualistic moment of history, where people like you feel empowered to shit on the efforts of others. I get that the current geo/politic/economic situation has you convinced that you can do anything to anyone without any repercussions ever. You’re just learning by example after all.

I also get that the social media climate would have you believe this is normal human behavior. But it is not. Fuck you and your ilk.

I like the implication

Then you’re reading it wrong. My comment says nothing of the sort.

The implication here is that it’s better not to publish open source code because somewhere down the road, you might make a decision that some crowd doesn’t like and they will start messing with your shit. If you do your own thing in private, hand code it if you like, vibe code it if you like, you don’t have any problem and you’re safe. If you write private code for your corporate overlord, no problem, you’re safe AND you’re getting paid. But if you share your stuff, and you’re unlucky enough that it becomes popular, then some internet mob might harass you at some point.

In that context you’d be pretty stupid to donate your time and energy to anything open. You’ll get maybe 10 contributors in a decade, willing to help you along the way. But one misstep and you’ll get hundreds of haters. The game just isn’t worth it.

The thing is, toxic people thrive in mob situations and are often found leading or even manufacturing them. I tend to be wary around this kind of setups as they are easy to get caught up in and hard to get out of.

Yeah i get it. It’s just that the whole situation pisses me off to no end. There are exponentially more people destructively contributing to this campaign, than people constructively contributing code to projects. Cause it’s easy and lazy and takes literally zero effort.

The only effect is to punish developers for having successful projects. They’d be fine if they were just dicking around on toy projects, but they chose to do something that matters, and to do it for free, and now they have haters. A lot more haters than helpers too !

We are collectively sending the message that it’s better not to stick your head out and publish open source code, and this will wreak havoc on the already overtaxed FOSS ecosystem. Corporate tech must be rubbing its hand in glee now that we’re doing what they never achieved in 30 years.

That doesn’t mitigate the environmental damage caused by others using it. I’m not opposed to the technology, nor strictly to its application, but to the irresponsible wau it’s being handled currently.

Well i guess that’s a great reason to harass individuals who never wished harm on anybody then 🤷

Opposing GenAI is free. Do it. It just consists of not using the software you don’t agree with. It’s great I do it all the time.

Coordinating attacks on social media to harass a developer is not great. It’s 4chan-like but at least the 4chan goblins know that they are the bad guys. This is just as slimy but with none of the self awareness.

Oh great the campaign of harassment is continuing. Keep going guys, hopefully you can get another dev to quit a project, and I know none of the people commenting here have what it takes to fork and maintain it.

You wouldn’t be doing anything different if you were getting paid by corporate interests to hurt the open source movement. Great job you can be proud of yourselves.

Yeah same. I’d like to think i’d answer “I’ll use AI, if you don’t like it you can fork the project and i wish you good luck. Go share your opinion on AI in an appropriate place.”. But realistically there’s a high chance it catches me on a bad day and i get stupid.

Yes, both threads are led by two accounts with probably less than 50 commits to their names during the last year, none of which are of any relevance to the subject they are discussing.

In a world where you could contribute your time to make some things better, there is a certain category of people who seek out nice things specifically to harm them. As open source enters mainstream culture, it also appears on the radar of this kind of people. It’s dangerous to catch their attention, as once they have you they’ll coordinate over reddit, lemmy, github, discord to ruin your reputation. The reputation of some guy who never ever did them any harm apart from bringing them something they needed, for free, but in a way that doesn’t 100% satisfy them. Pure vicious entitlement.

I’d sooner have a drink with a salesman from OpenAI than with one of them.

It’s typical of dev burnout, though. Communication starts becoming more impulsive and less constructive, especially in the face of conflicts of opinions.

I’ve seen it play a few times already. A toxic community will take a dev who’s already struggling, troll them, screenshot their problematic responses, and use that in a campaign across relevant places such as github, reddit, lemmy… Maybe add a little light harassment on the side, as a treat. It’s a fun activity ! The dev spirals, posts increasingly unhinged responses and often quits as a result.

The fact that the thread is titled “is lutris slop now” is a clear indication that the intention of the poster wasn’t to contribute anything constructive but to attack the dev and put them on their back foot.
