Fuck AI

Come on, is there anything that's safe?!

This kind of thinking is what makes billionaires who back AI companies to keep increasing their investments in AI Capex, while leaving others with nothing but increasingly expensive parts and damaged environments.

It's really hard to argue against that final paragraph though for real. These are free time projects that people spend time on for the benefit of others. I dunno. Food for thought?

oh yes. i caught their comment on github about this already.

if i had the time i'd fork this and block AI contributions outright. slop certainly doesn't belong in something that allows us linux users to play something that's windows exclusive, cause lord knows what it'll break.

"We live in a capitalist hellscape so why bother to struggle against it" isn't a completely unreasonable take. Too bad, though.

My regret is I have but one upvote to give.

It’s just painful to use. Why are commonly used Wine/Proton features like DLL overrides so unnecessarily poorly done in the UI? I may as well write the command line switches myself.

For real, strycore's responses to github issues seem to mostly be laughing at the posters, calling them idiots, and at best eventually giving in and fixing an issue after another maintainer acknowledges a bug as valid. Glad I only use Lutris for Battle.net, and definitely looking for alternatives.

Hell, it’s not even everything I like is turning to shit. Things I already hate are getting worse as well. It’s fucking everything. Either AI or ads. Shareholders above all.

Try Heroic or Bottles. I am personally a fan of Bottles.

Supreme Court recently declined to take a major copyright case involving AI, which meant the previous court's ruling still stands - ai generated content can't be copyrighted. Tho I haven't looked at the details, so I'm not sure if that applies to code or not.

It will not surprize me if everyone currently depending on these systems is going to be in for a very rude awakening.

Listing claude as a co-author where it was used serves a practical purpose of drawing extra eyes for review of relevant commits.

This is the correct take and best course of action. What the dev did is not only shitty but also dumb.

No, it was a confusing intuitive mess with tons of broken toggles for legacy cruft long, long before AI code was a thing.

Someone can, I certainly don't have the time or the talent to do so. Thanks for your efforts people who do this stuff.

Am I allowed to have an unpopular narrative here?

There are levels of vibe coding, and it's possible to use AI without vibe coding at all.

If you're very targeted in what you're having the AI do and you carefully review the code, it can be a great tool.

For example, "make this html grid sortable and add a download button that creates a csv file." You know exactly what this does, it's self contained, and it's something you know can just be copied from stack overflow and applied to your code.

That works, and works well.

"Create an app that..." is vibe coded slop.
