rawr, bet you had some good oathgasms

Oathmeal, Oathmilk, Oath müsli… Yep

Maybe the people asking for your projects and the ones slamming them for you using AI in any capacity are different people.

I for one think AI is a tool and if you’re competent or it’s for one-off tasks, you can use it. It’s the agentic vibecoding by complete non-IT people (or techbros, or absolute beginners) that grinds my gears.

Do we have to have the corporate bootlicking prevention speech again?

OK, but it works and it’s cheap.

And you can use it with FOSS.

Thank you for the recommendation!

You can order 3D prints online, check a local supplier for less environmental impact.

Or you can buy a Bambu Labs A1 mini, cheapest and easiest printer IMO.

Well, my issue isn’t with what contributors might do, but that you personally hid all AI contributions and I can’t even assess your coding quality that way.

As it seems, you slopped out multiple thousands of lines of code and haven’t shown me any proof you’ll be able to maintain this pile of autogenerated nonsense.

I know it feels like work hitting Enter ten thousand times, but it really isn’t helping. I’m very glad you put in an AI disclaimer! It’s the right thing to do and this means I can judge the project so that I don’t want to try it. I’d just have preferred a bit more transparency in terms of AI contribution, because I’d have tried it if I thought you’d be able to maintain it.

I’ll just put a reminder in my calender to check back in a year if you abandoned it or if the project is alive and kicking still.

You purposefully want to hide AI contributions? Oh dear. I don’t know if I’m on board with this.

You wrote 60.000 lines of code in three months? Even worse.

This is AI slop.

Leave my mother out of this, then I’ll let yours leave my cellar! 😋

Why put powerful in the title, instead of a description? 😄

Sure, they’re quite repairable. If it’s used I’d certainly test it extensively as the previous owner could’ve overclocked it or could’ve done other things to “mod” it in a negative way.

There’s also other handhelds which have similar features. The Asus ROG Ally comes to mind.

I like to play cheap games (compared to other consoles) and it works well. I have more than 750 games on Steam. Nearly all of them are proprietary software anyway. It’s okay, as they’ll work for years to come. More than what I could expect from Windows.

Which bloat and spyware are you talking about?

The “former Microsoft employees” have worked at Microsoft when they were still known for decent software, albeit bad business practices. which is why they left.

Steam Deck is repairable, uses FOSS components, contributes back to Linux due to some Valve devs submitting patches upstream…

It’s just a company selling their proprietary blend of Linux on their hardware. Bootloader is unlocked. Why should I have an issue with that? The hardware is mine, when they decide to make SteamOS shit I can just install Bazzite.

Please realise Open Source doesn’t mean it needs to come from people. Linux is made by lots and lots of corporations, and that is a good thing. Valve won’t take over KDE or Wayland or whatever components they sell, because there is no need to.

Hold My Lard?

😱😬🤣😐🙃🙈💩

And what does it mean for those people?

Which country is this?

Everyone has a price. If your price is the love of your life and an eternity to live with her, where everything you want is procured – would you work at Lockheed Martin if they could provide that?

I would. I’d just make sure to sabotage them as much as I could without them taking this away from me.

“Demonstrating my point of view: I am confused”

Yeah but it used to mean “piss over vulvas”. Pornhub changed the meaning to “point of view” and everyone just went with it.

What I wanted to say is: I’m pretty sure we can trust the community and moderators to recognise the difference between slop and AI assistance.
