@SuperDicq@sun@mischievoustomato You're not going to fix flaws if you let the GNU maintain a package. GNU will always say that its own code is perfect or that your feature is unneeded. You have to actually maintain your own patch sets of GNU software to have a less broken experience, no way around that.
@SuperDicq@hj@sun It isn't. Nobody reads bios when replying and kids don't have their age slapped on their profile names forcibly, so you make a dirty joke and suddenly your are a nonce, since most of the time the next reply will be: "I'm a minor."
@idiot@RustyCrab@mangeurdenuage Most of the good developers are now gone, haunted away indefinitely, because the bases of their work slowly rotted away. In a weird twist, most of them went to the Apple walled garden.
And they got all replaced by "user friendliness" maniacs that hate anything power users need, because none of it is user friendly, simplistic and elegant. Look at gnome, it used to be good and now every dev an user is a perfect :ebussy: clone.
@idiot@RustyCrab The mindset is that I won't mind how rotten the base when I can't change it anyway on Windows or macOS. Just like I can mostly tolerate Windows when it is LTSC and a few convenience programs like Powertoys and Autohotkey.
@idiot@RustyCrab I'll see, I'm not anyway near needing a new laptop so that's probably years in the future. And I can handle BSDs fairly well, which are much more opposed to the reinvent the wheel culture every 5 years in Linux.
@idiot@RustyCrab What will probably happen sooner is me choosing between a pixel or an iphone. If Google really deploys developer verification and effectively kills f-droid, there's no reason for me to use Android anymore besides watching Youtube ad free.
@pettanko@sneeden@PurpCat@RustyCrab It's a search engine on steroids that understands continuous context. That's probably the quickest definition I can give.
And just like static analyzers, automatic refactoring and random SO answers, it can be incredibly wrong on many levels. It also used to gaslight you when you mentioned it was wrong, but that is mostly gone now. Literally just another tool in a programmers toolbox for easing a part of their workflow.
@RustyCrab@sneeden@PurpCat@pettanko You know what is funny with this "movement" against AI. Where were these people when static analyzers were shit and spew out false positives left right and center? Where were these people when automatic refactoring got added to IDEs that made mistakes? Nowhere to be found. But suddenly all of them are coming out of the woodwork over an iteration on the same thing.
- AI is exteremely bad at everything - This is completely AI written and works pretty good, look at this - Yeah, but how is it better than what already exists
