You are both right.
- Comment on Open Source Developers Are Exhausted, Unpaid, and Ready to Walk Away 1 week ago:
Thats where the problem lies it is assumed that open source software has be free.
But the article is not talking about this scenario. They’re specifically talking about open source software that’s also free software:
Your favorite apps run on code maintained by exhausted volunteers.
So it’s perfectly fine for some users to expect the software to be free.
The real problem is that some project owners have a sense of duty to maintain their creations no matter what, leading to burnout, which is the point of the article. The article also details ways to fix it. Some of those involve the users being proactive (e.g. taking the initiative to donate consistently), but ultimately it’s up to the owner to take some action. Like I mentioned, if I publish some code for free, I don’t mind my users to expect that my software will always be free. But if they think I’m going to lose sleep trying to meet their demands without compensation, welp, they are dreaming.

Oh for sure!
- Comment on Open Source Developers Are Exhausted, Unpaid, and Ready to Walk Away 2 weeks ago:
I’m sorry, but I can’t agree with this. If the software is free, then it’s free. It’s up to the authors how they want to license it.
Personally, I write code and publish it in the hopes that it will help someone. If someone comes in and says “there’s this bug, fix it!” I will only do so if it will benefit me, or if I feel like it.

Can you imagine? Imagine the flares that would cause!
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 3 months ago:
I’m actually coming back to Lemmy. I left reddit, but then went back to it with limited participation. And now it’s truly a cesspool. Lemmy may not be a perfect replacement, but it feels better. I should have never left.

Got any links where we can see this happening? (I’m just curious - though maybe it’s easy to look up on Codeberg…)
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
I can agree with “things that try to imitate human intelligence” but not “human behavior”. An Elmo doll laughs when you tickle it. That doesn’t mean it exhibits artificial intelligence.
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
That’s a red herring, bro. It’s an analogy. You know that.
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
Thanks. I stand corrected.
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
I’ll be pedantic, but yeah. It’s all transistors all the way down, and transistors are pretty much chained if/then switches.

The dot does not care. It can’t even care. I doesn’t even know it exists. I can’t know shit.

Tell that to the crows that chimps that know how to solve novel problems.
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
I understand that languages evolve, but for now, writing “it’s” when you meant “its” is a grammatical error.
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
I’d agree with you if I saw “hi’s” and “her’s” in the wild, but nope.
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
That’s irrelevant. That’s like saying you shouldn’t complain about someone running a red light if you stopped in time before they t-boned you - because you understood the situation.

What language is this?
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
Compose key?
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
Huh? Since when an AI’s purpose is to “imitate human behavior”? AI is about solving problems.
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
Dafuq? Artificial always means man-made.
Nature also makes fake stuff. For example, fish that have an appendix that looks like a worm, to attract prey. It’s a fake worm. Is it “artificial”? Nope. Not man made.
- Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent 5 months ago:
I agreed with most of what you said, except the part where you say that real AI is impossible because it’s bodiless or “does not experience hunger” and other stuff. That part does not compute.

The subset exists. What you’re referring to is an agreement or convention.
