  Does it really matter? You do not know how commercial software is being developed. In most cases you do not even know which language is used and AI usage is also not disclosed. You do not know this about your phone, you do not know about your appliances, you do not know how the software in your car is being made, you do not know how everything you’re using every day is being created. I’m not sure why you have other standards for open source software. And please do not tell me that you are only using open source software in your car or in the train you’re using as public transit.

  And yes, there might be harm, but let’s be honest, every other company around there is doing harm to someone or the environment. And if an open source dev uses AI this is really not the fight you want to do. fight against oil companies or something like that. factory farming, the car industry, big tech and all the other industries doing real harm. Attacking the dev of Lutris is not the fight anyone should put some effort in.

  I mean does it really matter? people are using his software and it is totally irrelevant how he is developing it. It doesn’t matter if he is scribbling it on paper or using VS Code or something else or an AI tool. He can develop the software as he likes. You can walz into an open source project and demand that the project has to work according to your own standards. We are not in school - in school the cheating with AI is hindering your learning progress, but if you want to use a coding agent as adult, just do it. And you don’t have to disclose it because why should you? You also don’t disclose that you are using code auto-completion or some other technology.

  I really hate this new trend of FOSS developers being attacked and harassed for using AI. You might not like if they are using AI. Or you might not like AI at all, but there’s no reason to harass people who are providing you free software. Let them develop it like they want. If you don’t like that they used AI, use another software. Or fork the software before they started using AI. But attacking people like that is not okay on so many levels. It’s not okay to attack people for the software they are using. It’s not okay to attack developers providing a free service and it’s not okay to attack people at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is spreading.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And that is correct. Headaches are different. Some people are helped by aspirin. Aspirin comes in different forms, as pill, powder, stick, in different doses. Other people maybe need Ibuprofen or Paracetamol or even harder pain medications. Those also come in different forms and doses. So every of those 20 answers is correct and you need to find out what works for you.

  The world is complex and you need to find out what works for you. The idea that one OS or one distro is perfect for everyone on this planet is wrong just as the idea that one medication in one specific dose can be perfect for a complex illness like headaches for every of those 8.5 billion people on this planet. You have to be willing to find what works for you - or just keep suffering from headaches.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Co-founder Says Microsoft is Quietly Sunsetting the Platform⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s insane how Microsoft is handling Xbox:

  • They have their own console and Windows
  • They bought everything they could and now own most of the biggest gaming franchises outside of Nintendo: Activision-Blizzard. Minecraft. Halo. Call of Duty. Warcraft. Starcraft. Diablo. Candy Crush. Elder Scrolls. Fallout. id software. Bethesda.

  They have everything in place and are still getting slapped around by Valve and Sony and are now talking about shutting down everything?

  Those blocks might be not perfect, but they were part of a program to build housing for all those people living in quite bad conditions after the war and after everything that went through in eastern europe in the 20th century. They needed millions of homes and quick. And they might be ugly to some people, but they are better than slums and you shouldn’t take their condition today after several decades for what they were when they were new.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's it going to take to truly stop the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah - people and countries are trying to get out of their dependency on the US, but they are trying to do so kind of stealthy to not get in confrontations with Trump (who is totally one to escalate stuff if he notices) and also in a way to minimize their losses.

  Those Steam Machines are just normal PCs. There should be no reason why you couldn’t dualboot windows to play those few games that do not work on Linux.
