If you see "A user you blocked has contributed to this repository" for Claude, please double-check that it was actually used for multiple commits. There are quite a few projects that are not vibecoded and currently have anti-LLM policies where they experimented with vibecoding and then decided they didn't like it, or where one or two LLM-generated PRs slipped through the cracks that should not be lumped in with projects making more serious use of vibecoding

I saw a post, since deleted, where one of the many wonderful people on here was trying to argue that since their trauma wasn't from physical or sexual abuse, it "wasn't that bad" and "shouldn't have fucked them up that much" (as a general attitude). And like as someone who's had those forms of abuse that are typically seen as more extreme, like, yeah, the extreme stuff fucked me up, but there was also a lot of stuff generally viewed as more minor, but repeated a lot, that fucked me up. Personally, I found that some of the bullying I experienced as a kid was worse than the CSA, despite the bullying not seeming *that* extreme. All of which is to say, don't expect society's views on "how bad" certain things are to exactly match with how much they hurt you, and please try and not compare yourself to others as a way to invalidate your own feelings. Also note that repeated mildly bad events can be worse than single really bad events. Your pain is a reasonable response to what you went through, and if it hurt you it's bad, even if it doesn't seem "bad enough" by some arbitrary standard.

A: Huh, I mean I am kinda ace, but also I feel weird posting about that much considering that hypnokink is probably my favorite hobby

A: I tried https://kinkbeyondlimits.com/quiz.html and I'm realizing we really don't seem that into these dark kink fantasies, or at least the ones that fit into what it describes. Like, for me, I do want to have a lot of power over someone, but I want to have that power because they've learned that trusting me and submitting to me always goes well for them, and, like, I do actually know best and stuff. And I think while the rest of the system does have some fairly intense fantasies, they also just don't fit into it very well. Maybe these various kink quizzes not being very good is a sign we should restart the one we were working on

@whitequark From my own perspective/experience doing some amount of open-source dev work, the annoying issues I are rare, and fall into one of the following categories:

1. I had bug (no reproduction steps or logs included, doesn't respond when we ask for them)
2. Please implement feature that would take massive amounts of work and break a bunch of other stufff
3. Asking for one-on-one help getting it set up in GitHub issues when there is a Discord link we put everywhere

On my way to Germany. Or well, at the gate at least. I feel kinda bad for cutting in line a bunch though. And I was in the way a bunch

It's been both frustrating and vindicating to see that people are finally coming around to the "maybe FOSS isn't perfect" opinions that I've had for years. Like, FOSS is resistant to, but not immune from, enshittification, there's a problem with a lot of FOSS things being very much by developers for developers, making something FOSS doesn't have nearly as many benefits as the FSF claims, the FSF sucks, there's a significant problem with a lot of FOSS projects becoming abandonware if the main dev gets bored because so much of FOSS is solo-dev, and that's not even geting into the stuff where I am actually relying on recent events to realize this, namely: The GPL doesn't stop evil megacorps from using your code, it stops everyone except evil megacorps from using your code

Why do "this link goes to an external site" warnings need to exist? Why can't they please just all be disabled?
