So, correcting your nonsense is “ad hominem” now, huh? Newsflash: If you’re wrong and someone corrects you, it’s not ad hominem. And what the hell is the nonsense about moving the goalpost? Do you read what you type or do you just tell an AI to write your comments for you?

You sound like a sane person. Here you go, a lie as you wished.

I generally don’t write code to get an award, it’s just a tool to implement a business requirement.

Sure, the committee can decide that absolutely no AI can be used, doesn’t mean I can’t call it out as stupid because I disagree with it. They’re right to do that and I can not like it. It’s not like I’m sending death threats or anything, I just stated my opinion.

I wouldn’t draw the line at all. If you just tell AI “give me a texture for this and that” it will look like shit most of the time. You either have to be lucky or edit it anyway. Let alone if you want consistency across multiple textures/models/whatever. So, if the end result is good, I don’t particularly care.

I never claimed my answer is the One True Answer™ and I obviously think my answer is correct as does everyone else who has an opinion. And I’m pretty sure the consensus can only be one of two things: either the AI companies crash because it’s financially unsustainable to provide the services or every game company uses it to generate various amounts of code/models/textures etc.

I don’t think having AI be disqualified is the most efficient answer at all, nor do I think it’s an efficiency issue at all. The companies don’t care about that. They pay analysts to tell them which of these decisions will bring them more money. For now the analysts decided to play it safe and disqualify it. One day one young analyst with something to prove will say “well, everyone’s disqualifying it, why don’t we try a different way” and slowly everyone’s gonna allow it. IMO, anyway.

I mean, one of us is “defending” use of a technology that helps people, the other is publicly bashing their sister, implying she’s stupid (which might or might not be true, not the point). I’ll leave the conclusion to other readers, I have no more to say to a person like you.

Conflating multiple things together, are we?

But hey, everyone who doesn’t share your exact world view on all issues is a Nazi!

Oh, someone did read a Wikipedia article! No, it was not “appeal to popularity,” it was meant to show that you’d be hard to find a product where at least small part wasn’t generated with AI, meaning singling this company out because they admitted it is bullshit.

I don’t think that’s a relevant comparison - marathon is a race meant specifically to test what the human body is capable of. Using a car there is obviously against the goal of the competition.

When I’m writing code, I’ll happily offload the boring parts to AI. There’s only so many times you can solve the same problem without it being boring. And I’ve been doing this long enough that actually new problems I haven’t solved yet are pretty rare.

I did and you’re right. That’s why I’m firmly in the “it’s just a fucking tool” gang.

Both people who treat it like a messiah and those who treat it like the worst thing ever seem pretty much insane to me.

I mean, it’s a tool. You can use a hammer to smash someone’s skull in or you can use it to put some nail on a wall.

If you see it used like that, it’s shitty developers, the AI is not to blame. Don’t get me wrong, I do have coworkers who use it like this and it sucks. One literally told to next time tell Copilot directly what to fix when I’m doing a review.

But overall it helps if you know how and most importantly when to use it.

Dude, go touch grass, please. This is embarrassing.

I didn’t mean it in the literal sense but if it makes you happy, we can pretend that whenever someone says “everyone” they mean it literally.

The anti AI crowd is getting crazy. Everyone uses it during development.

It’s a tool for fuck’s sake, what’s next? Banning designers from using Photoshop because using it is faster and thus taking jobs from multiple artists who would have to be employed otherwise?

Oh yeah, I feel sorry for all the Immich users who know it just won’t happen to them. Losing your movie collection sucks but you can download again, but personal photos deserve much better treatment. Though it sucks paying extra for cloud backup of your photos.

I mean, forever might be too strong of a word.

Well, that’s why you’ll have to try out. Or ask someone to at least try whether it opens, the apps mostly either fail on start because they require a Google certified Android, or they don’t fail at all.

Fucking disgusting. There’s no way to be a billionaire while not being a total shitstain that just sucks the society dry.

Though it looks like that could change eventually with a Linux phone.

SailfishOS is mostly daily drivable, depends on which Android apps you need (there’s a compatibility layer to run Android apps on it), with bank apps it’s often a problem.

That really depends on the implementation. In the case of gluetun, yes, no data can leak.

In Linux, by interface binding, no data can leak as well. No idea how Windows network stack is implemented.

1. Install Caddy on the host
2. Configure each service to forward to unique ports (say, 5001 for one service, 5002 for a different service)
3. Inside Caddyfile add a block like this for each service:

service1.example.com {
  reverse_proxy localhost:5001
}

It can be done in Apache as well, but Caddy is simply better and simpler.

As for images, take a look at Immich if that’s something you might want.

Monthly unless I learn about a vulnerability that would require it sooner.
