@alreadydeadxd There are many reasons, but to cut it short, the effects of the continued use of Generative AI go far beyond just code quality. It introduces licensing ambiguity, contributes to devaluing software development as a skill, and encourages increased energy use and expansion of data centers which has shown to negatively affect marginalized communities.

@alreadydeadxd you can't just be like "claude, build systemd or go to jail" or whateverYes, true! however... the thing that is actually devaluing this work is that those who pay us value us less, because why would they pay us a high salary if they can pay 20 bucks a month for claude? Same goes for artists, writers and lots of creative jobs. The fact that you still need to understand what you're doing doesn't matter to those we develop for. if you complain about how data centers are bad for the local communities and the environment, but then go to the supermarket and buy some beef, i don't even want to talk to you, hahaI think there's nuance here, every single person cannot be absolutely perfect, and especially not every single person has reflected on every little thing they do; We can only care about so many things before we collapse. That said, the reason people care about these data-centers is because they went digging for reasons not to use AI, not the other way around. If AI hadn't been, issues with large datacenters would've probably gone undiscussed for many more years. Which...I guess is a good thing?

@Mastodon @servo @rsm92 works alright! Not perfect but it's passable :)

@EF I was not surprised, I was disappointed.

@alreadydeadxd I agree with basically everything you said, but to be pragmatic, I must work from inside the system and tear it down from there I unfortunately cannot act as if all of these are non-issues due to the world we live in so this will have to do as the next-best thing

@danieruotakuboy @moshidon

moshidon's code was entirely rewritten, such that:

• it's easier to merge the official Mastodon's apps updates
• Less spaghetticode
• Runs better :)

this does involve writing all features again from scratch, but it's worth it.

The post is about how, for developers, the first version they'll see when looking at the source code is the newly rewritten version now.

@mkljczk @Mastodon @servo @rsm92 yeah only the CW field lmao 💔

@cwg1231 at this point I'm considering to license all my personal projects under the OQL because screw companies

@prinlu @moshidon it indeed is! github.com/LucasGGamerM/moshidon-nightly/releases of course, work-in-progress ahead, most features aren't there yet.

@noisytoot @cwg1231 what use is there in (L/A)GPL if your first paragraph is about ignoring law in a world like that, the GPL having been reviewed by a lawyer also doesn't make a difference

@arfy @jaybird110127 Halloy and Goguma are some of the most well-featured ones I know of, but there is many more at ircv3.net/software/clients for various platforms

@mkljczk @Mastodon @servo @rsm92 bruh lmfao yea maybe replace that
