It’s funny how we never count the thousands of games you can only play on PC as exclusives. If we throw in emulators and backwards compatibility, there’s just absolutely no contest.
Not to say that there aren’t great exclusives for the consoles, just that the PC ones seem to always get ignored.
You won’t believe how much time I can get out of a PC, if I wanted to. Backwards compatibility plus frequent sales, plus emulators and mods.
There’s a bunch of reasons why someone might prefer one over the other, but longevity absolutely goes to PC, no question.
This really depends on the project. For example, if you’re creating a CRUD web app for managing some kind of data, the main tough decisions involve system and data architecture. After that, most other work is straight forward menial work. It doesn’t take a genius to validate a gajillion text fields for a specific min and max length, map them to the correct field in the API, validate on the server again, and write them to the correct database field.
I agree that AI might screw companies over in the long run, when there’s no more juniors that can become seniors. That doesn’t apply to this case at all.
You do have to consider that this is an opensource developer creating something free in his free time. The app is also not life or death. Meaning, his quality standards are UNDERSTANDABLY not as high as if he was working for money on a banks money system.
In the end, all of the complainers are welcome to do the work themselves. That way, he won’t have to use AI at all.
No, vibe coding explicitly requires NEVER looking at the actual code. I can give claude a ticket, it creates a plan. I review that plan, maybe change some things. Then claude does the thing. I review the code, then tell claude to fix X. Then I test, then I tell claude to create a commit.
There we have claude creating a commit without any of it being vibe coded
From his perspective, he’s investing his free time and likely money into a project for people that are 99% of the time just leechers, as in they never contribute back and only complain.
Now he has a tool that he feels helps him deal with all that FREE labor is doing for everyone, and the very same people now want to tell him how to do his FREE labor he does for them.
I completely understand being pissed off by that.
Can you point to the justifying? If your argument is “AI bad because water usage”, then you have to actually demonstrate it’s a problem, and that you’ve always cared about water usage.
In the post they very EXPLICITLY state that there are many real issues with AI, just that water is the worst of them.
Do you know how psy-op for a movement works? Simple, you start focussing the movement on obviously false or irrelevant topics. That way, nothing useful gets accomplished, and the movement looks like a joke to anyone with a brain.
Are you a secret pro AI agent?
Cool, and the people that wanted to thing they produced at the price they produced it at? They’ll just chill and completely change their ways? Your people riot and kill people, what makes you think the “other” group wouldn’t too?
Any policy change has to be accepted and lived by the people, at the end of the day.
To be clear, we can do both eating the rich AND educating about and changing our negative consumptive habits.
Yes, if we just shoot the CEOs, the customers will magically stop wanting fast fashion, fast food, waste amounts of cheap meat, cheap and new electronics every year…
I don’t disagree that it would have a positive effect, but I hate the overly reductive takes on systems being completely disconnected from the people. We need to realize that our (western) life style is simply not sustainable, capitalism or not. That requires serious changes for everyone, not just the “rich”.
So your feelings are more important than the oppression of all the minoritzed groups?
If they do, like they love to pretend to, then they are part of the people responsible for all the horrible things Trump is doing. If they’re not, then why should anyone care?
What’s your alternative that isn’t completely insane, “The Revolution will come” levels stupid? What a politician actually supports (instead of what they say) is the CLOSEST we will ever get objective proof of a candidates position.
Funny, that works just as well in reverse: If “the left” is big enough that all the posturing about not voting for the lesser evil, and the moral purity BS caused Trump to win, they are responsible for untold horrors simply because they want to grand stand. If they aren’t big enough, they’re irrelevant anyway, so why would anyone care?
Dated means a fuckton in the Desktop world. Browsers get updates regularly, so do games and graphics drivers. There’s nothing “stable” about a website not working correctly just because my browser version is ancient and coming from the official repo.
Thank god flatpak has made people see the light, at least a little bit.
I’ll agree on the update thing, but absolutely NOT on any of the other parts. Things like OneDrive are ENTIRELY about money.
With the update thing, even “pros” were incredibly lazy with updates in the past. Having automatic updates at least as the default is entirely correct.
It’s absolutely fine to do this, but it’s just as reasonable to not call that veganism. Reducitarian or Flexitarier are right there.
Maybe I’m reaching, but this stuff feels like stolen valor. They want the label, without doing all the work.
No, because they actually agree with them*. Everyone doing activism for a cause I believe in could never be wrong! Any call for optics is just tone policing! Oh, the vegans? Obviously they are too aggressive, what about the optics? I’m very smart!
Do you genuinely believe this? If I hear “X is bad”, I don’t need someone to tell me “oh, but less X is still good step”. I can understand that with even my two braincells.
Where’s the proof that people don’t understand that? Do we need to start preaching harm reduction and “perfect is the enemy of good” in other areas of activism? Feminism, anti-racism?
Veganism is by it’s very definition harm reduction. There’s a large difference between “cannot eat less meat” and “don’t want to eat less meat”. The first is technically even vegan, the second will never be.
Don’t worry, if they just add an empty soulless open world to every franchise (Metroid?) that’ll surely make their games great again.
