  • The Engineer Who Tried to Put Age Verification Into Linux

    Jump

  • To be fair, I am bit split on this. On one hand, name and shame is an effective strategy and should be used. On the other hand, "put age verification into Linux" is a hilarious stretch. And yes, it feels strange that I have yet to see any kind of response from other systemd maintainers and managers - after all, the man authored a pull-request, not merged into into upstream. I have not been looking for that kind of response myself though, which also serves your point: putting all the blame and anger on this one man (I purposefully omit name) is too much

  • I care. One thing is "you know, fields with this name have been around since before you were born", another thing is "some idiots passed the law half the globe away, now we are preparing your system to comply. Someone has to (c)". The field is not the danger, the thinking, attitude and act is

    Edit: some local law, for fuck's sake

  • So maybe next time when someone sees a pull-request like this, they think before merging it?

    *provided no one gets hurt. I sympathise with the uproar, but physically hurting the guy is definitely too much

  • Uhm, wat. Had to implement, worldwide? Da fuck are you talking about?

  • As companies destroy the world in pursuit of profits that will never come, I welcome our Butlerian Jihad

  • Well, they had to fight long and hard to break from enslavement first. That kind of memory lives for a long time

  • Yeah. Long-known and long-feared letters :)

  • Easier it is, sure. And optional field it is - for now. But the moment anything (that should not be interested in it) asks my age on install, I am dropping that software

  • Windows 11's free video editor Clipchamp now requires OneDrive

    Jump

  • Clipchamp? Sheesh. Waiting for "apps" called Yo, Bruh and so on

  • Does the matrix have you?

  • Damn, do I like it. Thank you!

  • Manjaro Linux Team Goes on Strike, Threatens to Fork the Project

  • Did I just find next distro to try? :) Kudos to them anyway (yay, that's the kind of news I want to hear)

  • Systemd preparing to comply with age verification laws

    Jump

  • Yes, of course! :)

  • If this shitstorm keeps up, I will just build my own OS at some point

  • Lutris maintainer: "I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not."

    Jump

  • On that we agree completely. Screaming "N is bad because llm was used to build it" is utter idiocy

  • Why is checking age at os-level that bad?

    Jump

  • Shut the tuck up already, warrior of the idiocy

  • Lutris maintainer: "I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not."

    Jump

  • Blame for different things:

    Running around and cursing anyone using llm - that's an idiotic thing to do, and he is not the one doing it, of course

    not the lack of PR skills of a volunteer developer

    That's not what bothers me

    But, in the end, he’s a guy making a tool that helps the entire community

    While sacrificing his own life (time, energy, emotions, all it takes to keep doing it). That's not worth it, damn it. Doing something just to say "good luck figuring this out on your own, if it bothers you that much, you stupid fucks" is a priority shift from "what is good for me/project/community" to "what to do with project to stop this toxic shit". My answer is "Do nothing with the project. Get them to fuck off or get yourself out of their reach". And my requirement of anyone in charge of anything is clarity

    Edit: word "sacrificing" is important. Not sharing out of abundance, not serving out of devotion, but cutting from what he has and needs for the benefit of others

  • Bullshit. But you are welcome to remain in your bubble, useful idiot that you are

  • You idiot or brain-damaged? Is OP the person proposing/lobbying the legislation? Read his fucking post yourself, dumbass. He said he'd easily choose the option and asks why it can be a bad thing to do

  • Lutris now being built with Claude AI, developer decides to hide it after backlash

    Jump

  • With "30 years in programming" he could just say "fuck off", but I am guessing not everyone is equipped for that. Using AI for good causes sits OK with me, but not recognising that something needs to be done at a higher level (set boundaries or just drop/find successor for the project that costs too much for him) - no. And I don't like these slaps in the face
