I know this is about copyright/copyleft and stuff. However, I’m tired of seeing previously good and working projects start degrading in performance.

We recently switched from one media player to two because the former contained LLM regurgitated code and the replacement didn’t. Guess which one worked better? If you guessed the two replacements you’d be correct.

I actually asked some projects to move when Microsoft showed their hand and lack of ethics and complicity with both LLM (copilot specifically) gobbling up data and genocide.

The maintainers seemed unbothered by that and more concerned with their ability to be found, which to me says a lot about what priorities they have.

I deleted my github account and won’t be back, and in the meantime hope that open source projects realise that moving to a non AI infested coding host/forge like codeberg or self-hosted forgejo will be better in the long run. I don’t hold much hope but we’ll see.

All in all this has been a mess, both for users of open source software and coders.

Users because the regurgitated code does create errors and degrades performance. The degradation of performance could be said to be true of the maintainers/coders too as the more they rely on LLMs/ML the less belief they will have in their own work, and they will lose those skills even if they don’t lose that belief as has been well documented now.

It’s a sad state of affairs and I hope the ‘AI’ bubble bursts and we can go back to having decently coded programs etc again, in the mean time I’ll keep seeking out those that have explicitly said no to regurgitated code and promoting them over those who sycophantically support or rely on the bullshit machines.

It’s Sporespondence.

Well, there is a solution to that. Start turning dreams into actual stories so they have plot and can be continued. It’s a great tradition!

You should be able to change it.

my (goodness), did you need (so many (parentheticals))?

Yup, sadly a lot of people think corporations are their friends.

So, not very then XD.

Yup, Valve famously do not care to moderate and even fired their moderators for some forums.

Since they aren’t publicly trading then this won’t change as they don’t need to care.

The only way to change things up is to start affecting their bottom line as people move away from the nazi bar that it has been for a long time.

Have Session added forward secrecy back in yet? If not then it’s not all that secure imo.

Haven did it well in my opinion, but that might be because it was a pre-existing relationship.

Also, it did get lore dumpy in some places, however, you could feel the chemistry between the characters in most of their interactions.

Yet people honestly believe the BBC isn’t transphobic… somehow.

Yeah, sadly Imgur decided to block the entirety of the UK.

Best LoZ game.

Women are more likely to harm themselves than others when depressed.

oh, okay.

rate of what?

Why do we need them all?
