  Right, I’ve seen the footage too, and I don’t think I’d recognize it as a Borderlands game if the name wasn’t included in the ads. I’m struggling to understand why they chose to go that route, rather than sticking to the beloved, iconic, performant art style of the other games in the series.

  You shouldn’t need leaps in hardware to render a highly stylized cell shaded video game in the year 2025.

  Exactly, like what CDPR did with Cyberpunk - own up to the fact that it was shit on release, then take the time to fix it and update it. People flipped nearly overnight from having a negative opinion of the game to a positive one when they released the working version of the game (plus a really solid DLC, which probably helped too).

  No, your LLM writes your design documentation and tells you how your application is supposed to work, according to what you wrote.

  Also, you’re either writing dead-simple applications, or you’re being incredibly hyperbolic if those are the only questions left left after your design document is written.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Exactly Six Months Ago, the CEO of Anthropic Said That in Six Months AI Would Be Writing 90 Percent of Code⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  But I get to focus on the parts where that judgement is actually needed and not the more mundane and toilsome parts of coding.

  The parts you’re doing yourself are writing tests and fixing vibe-coded bugs. And you’re outsourcing all the creative, design-based aspects of programming. I think you and I have very different definitions of “mundane” and “toilsome”.

  Having to figure out hosting, no matter if it’s self, peer, or whatever else hosting, kinda makes this proposal DOA I think. It’s kinda using a jackhammer for a problem that’s already been solved by a screwdriver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A did is a virtual actor that reroutes to a real actor and collects content across real actors

  Where is that virtual actor hosted? If it’s centralized, I feel like it defeats the purpose of user-centric identity control. If it’s user-hosted, that sounds like GPG with extra, even more inconvenient steps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Implementing Portable User Identities with DIDs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I don’t think this is gonna get anywhere when the easiest alternative to controlling your account is to just host your own Lemmy instance, and you can do that literally right now with no changes to Lemmy or the protocol.

  It’d be nice for ActivityPub to support optional GPG signatures for those that want to have that level of control. That would get you all the identity verification that this new fangled did stuff gets you, with the added bonus of GPG being a reliable, existing, proven technology that people already know how to support.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally agree with you, but I also feel like the level of testing and enforcement necessary crosses the line of what most people will tolerate. You’ll get people screeching about the government making it too hard and too oppressive to drive (which honestly, good).

  Anyways, let’s rip out all the highways and replace them with rail lines already, yeah?

  I swear, no one reads the username they’re replying to lmao.

  I didn’t say any of that. I’m not the one that made the original comment that started this thread, I’m not arguing with any straw men. I’m just some guy several comments deep in the thread that decided to contribute.

  No one said AI can do absolutely everything soup to nuts.

  Yes they did, there’s an entire “vibe coding” industry based on non-developers using AI to write (shitty) software from start to finish. All kinds of software and tech companies are encouraging more and more AI use because they believe AI can write software from the ground up. This article is a direct response to those people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why LLMs can't really build software⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You circled all the way back to the original point lol. The whole thrust of this conversation is “AI can be used to automate parts of the work, but you still need knowledgeable people to finish it”. Just like “a concrete 3d printer can be used to automate parts of building a house, but you still need knowledgeable people to finish it.”

  The fuck are you talking about? My first interaction with you was a reply to your several-sentence-long, multi-paragraph comment, not a “three word observation”. Are you ok?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨change_org⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree that we have a responsibility to improve things, I’ve said that multiple times now. Are you even reading my replies? If you were, you wouldn’t be putting all those words in my mouth. You’re literally making shit up to create an adversary to argue against at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨change_org⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My dude you can’t just gloss over the “we only meant white people” bit in an effort to support your claim that the system was set up to accept everyone’s input from the beginning lmao.

  Feel how you wanna feel, but you won’t make me feel guilty for the outcomes of a system I had no hand in setting up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨change_org⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  our country was founded on the principle that we would get a say in what it does no matter what.

  Eh, there are some pretty good arguments against that being the case, but even if it were, that principle hasn’t really been in effect since before most of the people on Lemmy were even born.

  I think it’s fair to say we’re responsible for improving the system if we don’t like the way it currently works. But I don’t think it’s fair to say we’re responsible for the actions of the system, if the system was stood up before we had any way to influence it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Carrying a grudge? “This long and vocally”? Who? How?

  And I’ll say it again - it isn’t toxic entitlement for users to expect to receive support on the platform they’ve been told to use to receive support. I’m not sure how you can argue differently, unless you twist words to the point of meaninglessness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I meant it’s not “toxic entitlement” like the other commenter I replied to claimed. Edited my original comment to hopefully be clearer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It should end at the dev putting out some sort of communication stating they’re not responsible for packaging, and to reach out to the package maintainers with issues installing from a package and not from the officially documented/supported installation procedure. That isn’t out of the norm at all for the open source community, and is one of the main reasons for releasing source code - to enable other people to build it and try to get it to work in whatever environment they want to.

  That shouldn’t require a change to a much more restrictive license, and it certainly shouldn’t require implementing changes to your code that force it to fail on specific OSes (like what was recently added for Arch).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Except the Duckstation developer changed the license to where they don’t accept contributions from others, so we couldn’t help even if we wanted to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It isn’t entitlement to seek tech support on the platform the developer offers tech support on.
