Does it really matter? You do not know how commercial software is being developed. In most cases you do not even know which language is used and AI usage is also not disclosed. You do not know this about your phone, you do not know about your appliances, you do not know how the software in your car is being made, you do not know how everything you’re using every day is being created. I’m not sure why you have other standards for open source software. And please do not tell me that you are only using open source software in your car or in the train you’re using as public transit.

And yes, there might be harm, but let’s be honest, every other company around there is doing harm to someone or the environment. And if an open source dev uses AI this is really not the fight you want to do. fight against oil companies or something like that. factory farming, the car industry, big tech and all the other industries doing real harm. Attacking the dev of Lutris is not the fight anyone should put some effort in.

I have been following the curl issue for quite a while. I think that it’s different from what I wanted to tell you here. Curl is getting too many PRs that are AI generated and the human maintainers can’t deal with them all.

What we are here seeing is people using coding agents and LLMs to help with their own work. So it’s a different kind of thing. You can also imagine a situation where projects are getting hammered by AI bot traffic, but are getting also helped by using LLMs with their project itself.

I mean does it really matter? people are using his software and it is totally irrelevant how he is developing it. It doesn’t matter if he is scribbling it on paper or using VS Code or something else or an AI tool. He can develop the software as he likes. You can walz into an open source project and demand that the project has to work according to your own standards. We are not in school - in school the cheating with AI is hindering your learning progress, but if you want to use a coding agent as adult, just do it. And you don’t have to disclose it because why should you? You also don’t disclose that you are using code auto-completion or some other technology.

Take a look at all the money they are talking about. They have scammed multiple billions and you can guess how many bribes they are able to throw around.

There’s no reason for thinking that LLMs will destroy open source. People complain about slopware, but might also give us a lot of new cool projects.

You might not like it, but the whole software development is starting to include AI. So you can expect that every project out there will have some kind of LLM written code in it. And maybe not now, but give it a few months or years and it will be in every major project. And even if you can’t see it, there will always be the PR going in from someone who used LLMs.

I really hate this new trend of FOSS developers being attacked and harassed for using AI. You might not like if they are using AI. Or you might not like AI at all, but there’s no reason to harass people who are providing you free software. Let them develop it like they want. If you don’t like that they used AI, use another software. Or fork the software before they started using AI. But attacking people like that is not okay on so many levels. It’s not okay to attack people for the software they are using. It’s not okay to attack developers providing a free service and it’s not okay to attack people at all.

The whole point of the article is that the new MacBooks are running on iPhone hardware. And that therefore there’s no reason for you not being able to install MacOS on your iPhone. Even your old droid was locked down and you were not able to install a real OS which would have given you the freedom to run what you want without restrictions

Certainly not. This one seems to be the source article. And you know the problem with those archive paywall busting side. They are doing a DDOS on other sites and are serving malware. So I won’t link them. The article in question doesn’t have a paywall for me, so maybe clean your cookies and cache or install some paywall busting plugins. Some paywalls are also time based, so they start after a certain amount of days, after a certain amount of visits, and are therefore hard to predict. So no there’s no way to link another article.

I really, really would like to see what tasks he is automating.

Kinda funny to see a post like this here on Lemmy.world which is the mastodon.social of Lemmy

Yes, they have to. Maybe not rape, but if you take a look at statistics of street violence, nearly in every country, you will see that men are victims, too. In many countries they are all so quite overrepresented here. In my country, men are over twice as often victims of violence on the streets as women.

So yes, you have to worry as a men when you’re out there at night. And it’s one of the most infuriating things about this debate that people are totally denying that half of the population can be victims of violence and accusing others of being misogynistic incels. Talk to the men in your life and they will tell you about sketchy and violent situations out there.

You might also think about what we are talking about here: A billion dollar company is not vetting their drivers correctly. They are talking the sketchiest people, are not doing any form of interview process and are therefore having a problem with their employees hurting, abusing, raping their customers. Their solution is not to increase the safety for everybody, but to accuse one gender of being generally abusive. And if people critic that, they are flamed as incels here? That’s stupid.

It makes sense in this region. You have cheap fossil fuels, you have a lot of sun for solar, and Qatar and Dubai and also Saudi Arabia are economic powerhouses with a lot of companies, tourists and so on, so you will of course need a data center.

Currently an old Corsa D. Which is a great car, honestly. It has already gone 210.000km. So it will not last forever and I would like to have an electric car afterwards.

You do know that you are not getting the best product and prices for something when the company is doing that much advertising

Yeah, that was my question: Most phones have built in, not removable batteries and the question was if that may be a problem

I’m not sure here. Plugging in a phone 24/7 also means that you’re always running on full charge? And that you are always charging a dead battery?

It would be interesting to see how this works in Chrome. I would guess that it could be the same - people tend to leave their browsers open with hundreds of tabs and will never reboot their laptops. If you play a random game for 2 hours, bit flips shouldn’t be a problem. But if you keep your browser open for weeks or months with hundreds of tabs, that may cause problems.

As a feddit.org user, I’m really interested how this discussion about instances obeying local laws will turn out when it’s about child porn.

I like the idea, but I have two questions about using a phone here:

1. We know that older phones don’t get updates and is it really wise to put a unpatchable server on the internet?
2. What about the battery? We know that constantly charging an old battery is not that great.
