Turns out GloriousEggroll who is best known for Nobara and GE-Proton is defending this shit as well.

Aubergines, cucumbers, kiwi, and citrusfruit are botanical berries as well. The correct answer is that berry should be seen as a culinary term just like fruit and vegetable.

No alternative codecs wont do, the application we are building has a hard dependency on these specific dlls due to another dependency requiring them. It was also just one example of many excuse my hyperbole. Here is another one, try to get winget to work with a local package cache. You have to go to some third party developer for that. Want another one? How about debugging windows binaries in an offline environment. Reasonable requirement? Microsoft says no.

Why is this arbitrarily “a whole different story” and who said anything about UWP, it’s the media codecs we depend on. Windows 10 N offered an offline installer for that “optional feature” and now Microslop makes my life more difficult for no reason at all.

Ok, where can I download the Media Feature Pack for Windows 11 N as an offline installer?

At my job we are working with a few air gapped Windows machines which is already really annoying because Microslop doesn’t offer offline installers for anything related to Windows 11 anymore. I expect this to get even more difficult over time.

Also:

It was horse shit when jakearchibald wrote it; its still horse shit now.

Very very simple.

Really? I find it quite feature packed for a notes taking app.

Here are a few more:

logseq

Its an outliner, a colleague of mine basically lives in that thing.

silverbullet

It’s almost perfect for me but the browser based editing made it unusable because there is no way to unmap Ctrl + W in a browser and I can’t live without my Vim bindings.

QOwnNotes

This is the solution for normal people who don’t spend n+1 hours tweaking their editor configuration.

Org-Roam

For people who do spend n+1 hours tweaking their emacs configuration.

This looks like it was inspired by Vermis.

That’s a shame. Did they take the wasted developer time dealing with slop into account in that discussion?

Codeberg is cool but I would prefer not having all FOSS project centralised on another platform. In my opinion projects of the size of Godot should consider using their own infrastructure.

I think moving off of GitHub to their own forge would be a good first step to reduce this spam.

This was discussed just a few days ago.

That’s a fun idea but AI companies would probably just screenshot the website and OCR the text if this became common. It’s also really inconvenient for the users as it breaks both copy pasting and Ctrl+F searching.

You can target the crawlers using tar pits and proof-of-work application firewalls but I am doubtful that poisoning does anything. The second a poisoning method becomes common enough to have an effect the AI companies will just start filtering for that. Unfortunately the only way I see that prevents your work from being stolen is to either not publish it at all, or to only publish to smaller invite based communities that closely monitor who is accepted.

Oh look another shithead trying to pin me down by arguing semantics using the old “What even is AI” trick. Fuck you! I don’t care about shitty machine learning models from the 90s. I care about unethical companies stealing artists work and reselling it while causing ungodly amounts of pollution. Maybe I should just start banning everyone of you oh so reasonable shitheads. This is FuckAI not lets have a discussion and really get into the details what AI even is.

Any usage of AI is being complicit with the larger AI project of these billion dollar companies as it further legitimizes their use. So yes fuck this business person in particular I hope the customer sues and he goes bankrupt. This is a literal leopardsatemyface moment, everything about this is completely self inflicted. Maybe this wouldn’t have happened if they used their brain and considered not using a lying machine as a replacement for their customer support.

If they didn’t want to be compared to a pig, why did they go into the pigsty and roll around in the mud? One legitimises the use of AI, the other invests in it - both are on the side of Sam Altman and his ilk.
