You would hope with all the fucking AI slop code being deployed that TESTING and QA would be having a Renaissance.
You would HOPE.

Big brains let AI do the TESTING and QA as well.

The penny pincher companies that think they can replace a 80k / year dev with AI are DEFINITELY not doing any testing, my friend…
underisk@lemmy.ml 1 hour ago
Penny pinchers spending 200k a year on tokens to replace an 80k a year dev. Then they double the workload of the remaining devs as they turn them into code janitors for an LLM.

Quite literally you could set up a workflow where AI automatically fixes bugs based on QA findings unless it’s determined that an engineer’s input is required, but it seems nobody wants to do that either.
Hang on, I did just get an idea for an AI SaaS to sell to enterprises lmao
ardrak@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Yep, we could have kept the velocity and used AI to make things much more robust, but no, let’s just throw even more shit at the wall.

For context: Humble Bundle was acquired by IGN in 2017 and the founders are no longer involved.

That’s when I stopped using Humble Bundle. They ruined the site / service.
Vogons@fedinsfw.app 5 hours ago
Exactly. At some point it was a wonderful DRM free store and then became a steam/epic games retailer.
DupaCycki@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
What the fuck is Humble doing?
You’d think that a service that prides itself on supporting charities, and calls itself ‘humble’, should naturally be more reasonable.
Nope. With every month it’s becoming clearer and clearer it was never about charities. Just money.
Looks like I’ll be deleting my account as soon as I get to my PC.

Humble was sold to IGN in 2017
PonyOfWar@pawb.social 12 hours ago
It’s downright unusable. Had to pass multiple Cloudflare captchas to log in, but no 2-factor. The library only shows 5 items at a time now, so it’s 500 pages long for me, which I can’t even sort to only show unredeemed items. Order history just shows order numbers and I have to click on each item to see what I actually ordered. UI elements are randomly strewn about, with no coherent design. WTF Humble.
Malix@sopuli.xyz 12 hours ago
the library has a subsection for bundles, and opening a bundle shows which keys are redeemed or not. But yea, not really as usable as it was before. I guess 5 rows at a time fits nicely on phone screen, but… is that really the use case here?
PonyOfWar@pawb.social 12 hours ago
The bundles page also doesn’t show Humble Choice bundles though, so those keys are buried somewhere in the neverending list. I have to click past 9 pages just to get past the latest bundle I bought (Mapmaking Bundle).
AmyAye@nord.pub 8 hours ago
Bulk download does not seem to work either. I bought the recent crochet bundle and went to bulk download the book and it just failed.
PonyOfWar@pawb.social 8 hours ago
True, just tried it and it’s the same for all the book bundles I bought. Insane of them to push something so broken and untested.
iamthetot@piefed.ca 9 hours ago
I don’t share many of the same criticisms of HumbleBundle as most, and have been a happy subscriber for a long time.
But wow this shit is unacceptable. Straight up removed 2FA without any notification, allow passwords changes without any security. Insane. I will be cancelling my subscription for the first time in over a decade, this is truly inexcusable security fuck up.
Tattorack@lemmy.world 7 hours ago
Yeah, same. What the hell!?
CrabAndBroom@lemmy.ml 7 hours ago
I just went and had a look and it’s even worse than I expected. No 2FA and the login process is: asks for username > have to click the thing to confirm you’re not a robot > do you want to use your password or some other bullshit? > click the thing to confirm you’re not a robot > enter password > click the thing to confirm you’re not a robot. So twice as annoying as having to use 2FA without any security benefit. Some menus and items in the menus just straight up don’t work. It doesn’t even look nicer at all. And they’re currently selling a book bundle about AI Cybersecurity lol.
linkinkampf19@lemmy.world 9 hours ago
Just cancelled my membership as well. As others have noted already, they’ve gone waaaay downhill since the IGN purchase last decade. I would normally just skip a month as sometimes they’d have one or two games I had fleeting interest in. I am beyond sick of vibe/slop coded crap and I wish I could snap my fingers to erase it all.
Malix@sopuli.xyz 12 hours ago
yep, my account didn’t ask for 2fa when logging in.
Bold move to remove security features without notifying users.
iknewitwhenisawit@fedinsfw.app 8 hours ago
They did add a way to download the entire contents of a bundle in a single zip file, instead of a gazillion separate downloads.
This will make getting all my content off easier for the inevitable closure of their site.
portifornia@piefed.social 6 hours ago
^ excepting the reports in this thread stating that it is broken, too.
iknewitwhenisawit@fedinsfw.app 5 hours ago
Yeah it’s shit. I can barely get it to work downloading eBook bundles.

Would be tempting, but I don’t want to lose access to my unredeemed keys and DRM-free items. Not that I can even find those anymore, with the redesign being as shit as it is…
GottaHaveFaith@fedia.io 12 hours ago
remove your payment options, especially if you have connected PayPal, I removed it directly from PayPal because at this point I cannot even trust them to delete them correctly...
steelplatedmech@piefed.ca 9 hours ago
You should redeem your keys qnd wace them when you get the chance. There’s been some games humble bundles stopped providing keys for when requested.
bad1080@piefed.social 10 hours ago
somebody forgot to prompt it with “no errors”… /s
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 9 hours ago
That implies the Ai made the mistake. But the human probably never prompted and thought or tested for security. If anything, they forgot to prompt “make it secure”.
EatMyPixelDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 hours ago

On the bright side, it only made me confirm cancelling Humble Choice once, instead of the usual 4 times or whatever.

Necrifyre@piefed.blahaj.zone 11 hours ago
A week ago I asked for my account to be deleted. I was getting tired of Humble Choice, I couldn’t find anything for good deals on their market and I was awfully tired of IGN shoving their shit down everyone’s throats since they own Humble Bundle.
Plus a lot of the content they pick, are caught between garbage nobody asked for, content people would want are in upper tiers on purpose or content that made no sense to have been bundled with anyways.
They have been handling Humble Choice awfully for a while now, because they pick a lot of games that were only rated ‘Mostly Positive’ or just ‘Positive’ that nobody ever heard of nor care about.
It’s always funny over in the HB subreddit how people shit on those not liking the bundles but are always “happy” to get the games or so. Yeah because you’re a digital game hoarder, of course you’d take it anyways.
shifty@leminal.space 10 hours ago
I had mine on auto-renew for five or so years but was mostly busy living with life and hobbies outside. Now there’s 800 games in my library and I’ll probably only play 100 of them.
PonyOfWar@pawb.social 10 hours ago
When it comes to good deals, I guess it depends on what you’re looking for. Several of the recent Choice deals had a few games I was interested in for a price that was below their historic low. They also had some really great e-book deals recently where you basically got all the books from several well-known sci-fi authors for about 20€. So Humble deciding to enshittify completely does sting for me.

The first Humble Bundle was so awesome
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 9 hours ago
A few bundles after it was awesome too. It gradually got worse, but that was to be expected. This couldn’t go forever. And that’s okay. But when IGN took over, it died completely.
thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 10 hours ago
People are overrating. In fact, having no security means they don’t have anything to hide and therefore no one will hack the site. Simple logic, just think about it. /s

(and yes, the s is needed for some snowflakes)
AHemlocksLie@lemmy.zip 7 hours ago
I guess I need to go through and claim the dozens of old codes for games that weren’t the reason I got the bundle. I used to use them to trade, but I haven’t really bothered with that since Valve took away the ability to buy gift games as inventory items. If Humble is about to choke, though, better get what I can.
AliOski@feddit.nl 11 hours ago
I understood that if a game was offered DRM-free and as a Steam key, you would receive both. Looking at the store page now, it looks like you need to choose which one you want to purchase in a drop-down menu? Can anybody confirm whether they changed the functionality? That wouldn’t be just a change of layout but a fundamental functionality difference. A negative one.
AbsolutelyNotAVelociraptor@piefed.social 10 hours ago
It’s pretty awesome! They removed 2fa, sure, but they added the “magic code” so if anyone compromised your email they won’t even need your account password!
They also won’t let you remove a payment method, you’ll need to add another one to overwrite the old one!
They really went overboard with the enshitification!
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 hours ago
Realistically, I think most sites could not hold up if your email address was compromised. Most sites claiming MFA will fall back to email so it’s your only factor. I don’t have a way to check now, but I imagine before the AI slop redesign, if i needed to reset my TOTP on Humble Bundle, they’d have me confirm my email and let me do it.
BruisedMoose@piefed.social 10 hours ago
It’s been owned by IGN and ZD for years. I’m surprised it has taken this long.
fox2263@lemmy.world 5 hours ago
Have they fixed it as I just logged in with 2fa
bamboo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 hours ago
It seems like they only implemented email MFA, but I don’t have the option to use my TOTP MFA code
turmacar@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Same, I’ve had TOTP setup for… a decade(?) with them?
Very very cool that they just change security settings without notifying. /s
fox2263@lemmy.world 4 hours ago
Ah I see. Yes mine has always been email method.
ShyFae@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 hours ago
I have literally been spending my free time this week tightnig up my online date. Calling up and emailing custermer supports telling them to deletw my data and accounts.
Am i hearing i have to get the codes for love ke 5 years of bundles and delete my humble account!?
motruck@lemmy.zip 6 hours ago
How well does this work?
ShyFae@piefed.blahaj.zone 4 hours ago
I’ll let you know if i hear about a data breach at one of the sites i deleted my account at. But personally, I will think i wont ever know if this is useful or not. But this is a good mindset going forward of being more conscious of where i put my data online and how reveal myself through the use of a email across different sites.
The least i can do is use throw away emails and give them as much false info as i can get away with.
But if you asking how well account deletion works, some will delete everything, but most will just “deactivate” whatever that means. And some still that had money go through them are usually legally required to hold onto something for a number of tax years.
I think doing thisis better than nothing
Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 39 minutes ago
I can’t even remove my payment option. In Firefox, i cant click the top right menu to get into my settings because the whole menu jumps to the left of the screen when i want to select a menu item (and moving the mouse away lets it jump back, like one of those old joke programs that create a window that dodges your attempts to close it). By random chance i actually hit that one frame i had to get into my settings, and i only see that my payment option is PayPal, with no according settings or a remove button, and only an option to add a new payment option.
WTF.
I really hope this has consequences for the asshats who pushed to release this bullshit.
