this looks like it has copypasta potential

TIL all the wheelbarrows on construction sites are actually completely useless and they should just use donkeys instead

Doesn’t windows eventually shut down every hour when you don’t activate it? Or is that just their shitty development VM that does that so I have to reinstall it every 30 days?

keep them. maybe they start working again

Sure the dev doesn’t owe anything, but he is actively putting in the work to remove existing support. Instead of just doing nothing he is sticking it to the linux user by removing support

Edit: I don’t see how removing your own, working PKGBUILD will prevent people from installing broken 3rd party packages and complaining about it in your project.

Then explain to me how the bazillion other open source cross-platform Windows-first projects do it. Dropping support for Linux moving forward is fine, but actively going out of your way to remove the existing support is petty and just an asshole move. Especially when paired with a license that restricts 3rdparty packaging.

Also “this doesn’t work” is a bad reason not to invest the 3 minutes it takes to make an issue template, and it will already decrease the amount of packaging related issues by at least something

Seems like a skill issue on the part of the dev. GitHub lets you create issue templates and even forms. He could have made it so that every issue creator is warned that packaging issues will be ignored and closed without comment.

“We tried nothing so far and are going for the nuclear option first”

I notice that once I start reading I really enjoy it, but it’s always a chore to even bring myself to pick up a book. Even ones I’ve already started reading and enjoyed, I find difficult to pick back up. I’m not doing anything useful with my time either, my attention keeps getting hogged by YouTube et al :(

I’m not bitching about the existence of code agents in general, I’m bitching about the general attitude of “Code Agents will replace programmers” because no the fuck they are not.

They can produce one-off apps and scripts fairly well to the point where non-programmers can solve their problems (great!) but they lack the necessary sophistication and context to build long-lasting, maintainable and scalable applications, which is what you are hiring developers for in the first place

correct, but if you’re paying someone to make you a dish you wouldn’t want them to just slap a frozen fish in the microwave and serve it to you. That’s what using AI to build enterprise applications for customers is like.

yeah

Maybe dumb question, but I didn’t follow this too closely: Why don’t they just update their software and install a backup?

what does that have to do with anything in this thread

what an odd thing to have your mind wander to upon seeing a comic about bald people

That, and I think graphics is the easiest part of a game to min/max. You can take any pile of garbage and hire a couple animators, 3D artists etc etc to make it look gorgeous, but it’s difficult to find someone who can write a really good story every single year for a release

sorry sir, going forward we will only be reporting on people you know personally, sorry for the inconvenience
