Thank you. It’s so infuriating to come into threads like this to find “If you don’t like it, do it yourself” and shit like that. All it does is remove blame from the person making an ignorant decision, and place it on those rightfully upset because “Maybe the dev wouldn’t have been forced to use the environment destroying plagiarism machine if you have been more generous with your time.”

Nobody’s only policing those in arm’s length. I’m sure nobody mad at the Lutris dev over this are defending Google or Microsoft lol

The dev “owes us” as people to not be a shitty person, or at the very least, we should expect them not to be one. It absolutely is a slap in the face to people who trusted that project and the person heading it to not be shit, because they are now being shit, and people are right to call them out. Because they’re being shit.

Also you’re right, more people should donate to FLOSS projects that they love and use frequently, as do I. As someone with no programming knowledge, it’s all I can do aside from recommending your software to others. Wanna know one way to ensure I’ll not only withhold donations but warn others not to use or trust your software? Defending and/or using AI slop machines.

Even if that were true, which it isn’t, there are plenty of other reasons to scrutinize any use of “generative” AI.

The shoes stay on during sex.

Yeah I never understood why people liked him in the first place. He was always so obviously fake. Its so off putting.

110%. I still haven’t even played Sonic Frontiers all the way through bc the only way to play it without that shit is to emulate a console. The only emulatable version of the game is the Switch version, and my machine isn’t up to the task because of all the overhead.

I assume you either mean financially or in terms of general support and word of mouth. Trust me, I wish I could be a dev so, so badly, but as interesting as code and computers are, I’m light years away from getting in there and being able to fuck with shit. I love learning about programming, but I’m not the best at actually learning it. lmao

I say, as I sit in a first level computer science class, typing this because I’m totally lost in the actual lecture.

Wayyy ahead of you!

And here I thought AMD was somehow a better option.

Could be soup for all we know :p

That is one strong ear

Followed by a sneering, rude as hell comment that’s actually praising them.

I use Posteo. They’re green and pretty solid from everything I’m aware of.

Right, I see what you mean. That’s just a weird perspective to have. I know right now Kdenlive is pretty much the only FLOSS video editor, but if there were other comparable ones, imagine if I tore you to pieces over your choice to use the other one? For no reason? Damn.

“Drama” One of the dev teams are literally huge bigots. I agree this community isn’t the place for it, that’s fine, but I can’t help but take issue people refer to real issues as “drama” and nothing more.

Ahhh okay. I totally get why people are debating this, even if I have no experience in these fields. I was mostly worried there was some crypto/AI bullshit behind the scenes of Rust or some shady funding… idk, something really bad other then an argument getting out of hand.

I might need to look into what the hell ChapoTrapHouse is now lol

Problem is, I’ve heard, that .ml and .world share funding and isn’t .dev tankie ridden too? Either that or it’s full of AI bros, I could be wrong.
