  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 ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ 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.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨change_org⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

  I feel like that isn’t that far fetched, considering this machine probably has some sort of Internet connectivity so you can update the labels remotely and do other remote maintenance/monitoring tasks.

  Lol. Lmao even. Poor reading comprehension, strawmanning, and false equivalency all in one short comment, congratulations. You’d do well troll comment golf! You even snuck some childish huffing in there without adding too many extra characters!

  Wait! Don’t reply here, go make a post about it! I promise that will be more effective than continuing what you’re doing here.

  I think the people using the biggest whataboutism argument I’ve ever seen are the ones acting like middle schoolers, but that’s just me.

  Feel free to make a new post listing senators’ contact information, walking people through calling their senators about those issues, and giving them a rough script or an idea of what to say. That would be a hell of a lot more productive than all the whining and complaining y’all are doing in this post.

  Our core value isn’t Car, it’s “individual freedom, especially at the cost or inconvenience of others”. It just so happens that Car aligns pretty well with that

  Saw Bob Vylan in the mud and muck last year at Louder than Life, and that’s the performance that has stuck with me the most by far from that fest. Such a high energy performer, and there were only maybe a couple hundred people in the crowd (early set, on one of the smaller side stages, so kind of expected). The messages in the lyrics are spot on too, but it was kinda funny looking around at all the rural Kentuckians there looking all uncomfortable and rolling their eyes when they realized what they were listening to lmao
