Honestly if you do know what you’re doing that’s still true. They’re really good at looking like good code which makes it not always obvious when it’s not, even to an experienced developer.

Or maybe more bluntly, they’re really good at volume, not necessarily quality.

Welcome!

Plex logins go through their login server so you’ll also have login throttling and probably other bot protections.

I’m generally anti CLA in open-source as the license etc are self explanatory but it’s things like this that make me question that stance.

Definitely.

But I think more than copium it’s them understanding their users. It’s advice for people that will figure out how to run Jellyfin but won’t stay on top of updates, setup a waf, use a firewall/reverseproxy to limit access, etc. There are surely a lot of those that just one clicked an installer etc and for them it’s good advice.

I’m sure undermining your officers like this is great for morale and discipline of the troops under them. Great job Dumb McNamara.

I’m not going to defend this garbage but is this really slop? Just seems like your average ad injection.

You might still look. In the banner on the site it says Copilot interactions. I suspect the way data collectors work, that will pretty quickly mean even if you don’t explicitly interact with copilot they’ll be sucking up your site interactions and personal data for training because “its all copilot”

Every time Woz says something I’m reminded of what a cool guy he is. Probably be good friends in the right circumstances

Like father, like son.

Doubt

Am I reading the authors response correctly?

Does he just out and say “look, I ran this one tool and obfuscated my implementation until it said they shared no code. So that means it’s ok I used the original implementation as a reference.”

Sidenote, why are people so obsessed with giving up their rights and relicensing to MIT?

Are we going to acknowledge the irony of ranting against forking to protect freedoms on a platform formed as an alternative to protect freedoms?

Seems fishy… Can it do the reverse for proprietary code? If not, seems like it’s relying on being trained on the original code and not “clean room”.

That said, you fork it, you own it. Not technically a fork I guess but conceptually. And all code has bugs so welcome to your full time job maintaining 50 different previously freely maintained libraries.

A lot of times I feel like its more than lazy, its rude.

Either its something I’m supposed to know and you think I’m dumber than chatgpt or to dumb to look it up myself.

Or it’s something you’re supposed to know and don’t think I’m worth the time to give me your opinion.

Either way, feels like a fuck you.

Like… Fredesktop clipboards or is there some Wayland feature causing trouble. B/c my understanding was wms define clipboard functionality generally using freedesktop spec as the base so curious how Wayland is causing trouble.

I appreciate the response but in this case it was several games and apps that where very active. One of the being WoW.

Also, lutris itself would often break its own wine install and i’d have to go to the cli and fix it. Hense just using wine directly.

I could never get lutris to even install its flagship games with explicit "support“ and had better luck following online documentation or wine directly.

So I guess I’m saying, that makes sense. No big loss other than it would be nice I’d there was the tool lutris purported to be to help new Linux converts that had the ideals and quality the Linux community strives for.

I’ll find a different application

Pass.

Its my computer, I own it, gtfo and let me use it how ever I want.
