They recently put together a list of software that was built using AI and a bunch of AI people didn't take too kindly to it. The list has since been taken down and Kat has decided to take a break from open source software.
Most of the people on the list seemed pretty reasonable and were engaging in conversation about it. But emotions did begin to flare a bit and things got a bit out of hand. There are some conversations on Bluesky you might be able to find, but I think Kat also removed their account so the conversations might appear very one-sided.
It's a very unfortunate outcome I feel. There are people on both sides of the debate whom I respect, Kat included.
Very much so. I bet most of those people have never run an open source project or business, but they all have an opinion.
Pretty sad to hear this though since I really like Tailwind. I wonder how many other projects this vibe coding bullshit will harm. So sad to see more wealth being concentrated instead of being distributed.
With all the damage Cons are doing, I wonder when people will wake up to the fact that this "socialism" the Cons keep attacking is actually the good guys.
Since Cons generally seem to support Russian aggression in Ukraine and Israeli aggression in Palestine, they'd have to support the Canadian army retaking Alberta, right? Especially if Canada captures Alberta for oil! Ain't nothing more conservative than that!
I do kind of agree in a way though. Rust forces you to think a bit about memory and the language does tend to guide towards good design. But it's not magic and it's easy to write inefficient Rust too. Especially if you just clone everything. But I personally find Rust to be a good mix of low level control that feels sufficiently high level.
Garbage collected languages can be memory efficient too though. Having easily shared references is great!
Not sure what you mean exactly. JavaScript, for better or worse, is sort of essential to the modern web. You could write things in Clojurescript, but that still compiles down to js.
There is Nyxt which is written and extensible with Common Lisp.
Loooolll! I love them raising a stink about forking I'm another language. Go for it! Nobody cares and I'm sure it'll reach feature parity by the time paru is updated. 🙄 And then mentioning Lunduke saying something negative about Rust. Isn't he some wacko conspiracy/Linux YouTuber? That all made for a good laugh.
Anyway, I really like Paru, but I've switched back to yay until they get a fix. Really not a big deal.
EndeavourOS is great! It's pure Arch with a few of their utilities included (which are easy to remove). I like that it provides a good set of defaults for a fully configured desktop system, so there's no fiddling with installing every thing else you need after the initial OS installation.
This is clearly a global conspiracy orchestrated by GabeN to make the Steam Machine look better!
