I like the ideas here but I fail to see where you guys get the spears from. We only get a knife and food, which presumably doesn’t come with a long stick.

That’s about LG, the tweets are about Samsung. Have you even read the post?

it claims to also be designed for developers. It also claims to be for code.

Yes, it claims to be for developers of games and other “projects with large binary assets”. Of which Lore isn’t an example of, so it would be the wrong tool for the job. So I’m still puzzled why you’d expect them to use it.

This just leads me to believe it sucks

I’m sure it sucks, for all the reasons your listed. Them using git is not one of them.

As you said, Lore is an alternative to git (a VCS), not an alternative to GitHub (a hosting platform for git repos). They don’t have their own alternative to GitHub to use here.

Unless you meant why aren’t they using Lore to develop Lore, but it wouldn’t make sense to use a VCS intended for games and large binary files to develop software which isn’t a game. Lore is a competitor to Perforce, not to git.

Of course it’s not legal, even Tesla said so, why would this be something to question?

Epic have a git hosting platform / alternative to GitHub?

Isn’t that an idiotic dependency to have?

You are correct, but also there are many of these big corpo SaaS’s so it’s not like if one goes away they would be stuck. Locally run AI models are also increasingly capable and I firmly believe that in 5 years open source local models will be the primary source of AI coding assistance either way.

You could say the same about any of the IDE’s, commercial or not. Yes an IDE is a dependency that could away, but also there is plenty of alternatives.

Do people like Linus not realise how silly it is to offload your work to some middleman service that just steals work from people who do not consent to sharing their labour?

I don’t see how it’s “silly”. It’s unethical, nothing silly about it. I think that someone like Linus, who freely shares code he writes with all and thinks everyone should do so, has little care for the woes of proprietary codebases being slurpled up by the coding models. After all he dedicated his life to fighting commercial codebases.

Anything you do to willingly boost or massage these corporate services is enabling actually vile companies to continue puffing air into their stupid pointless bubble until it bursts and the next generation has to eat tuna helper sans tuna just to be able to afford to live.

Agree.

Exactly, if you say that AI is ethically bad and doesn’t work, to someone who uses it and clearly sees it works well for them, it just invalidates your argument.

If you just stick to the ethics your argument can’t be dismissed in that way.

Wayland isn’t a piece of software, it’s a protocol. So I don’t know where the feature request should go (depends on the desktop environment), but not to Wayland.

That’s called hiring a team of developers.

Yeah, and this is called “prompting some vibe coded software”, but we are looking a single word title that applies to such a person. “Producer” makes sense I guess, but did he really “produce” it or did he just tell someone or something to produce it?

Hmm, I see what you are going for but is “instructor” the proper term? To cut AI out of the picture, let’s say the guy instead of paying for tokens paid a team of developers who did the work for him. What would you call the guy then? He does exactly the same amount and type of work in both cases, but obviously noone would call him “instructor”.

Google was legitimately a force for good at one point. It’s hard to believe 2 decades later.

He said in another comment nothing actually went wrong. He’s complaining it got updated and so it could have corrupted it. But it didn’t. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I hate Windows as much as anyone here but this is outrage over nothing. Most Linux installs also automatically update your bios.

Yes, as I said the lack of it was the issue. There was no lack of version control, but there was a lack of a remote backup.

It does delete the repo - from your computer. The problem is not having a backup, which is easiest to achieve in this instance by having a remote repo.

Article says he did use version control. But it also deleted the .git folder.

The issue is he didn’t have backups, not a lack of version control.

Just think of European as the place where the Union has originated. Nothing weird with having hamburgers outside of Hamburg either.

They do, but that’s not even the primary reason for x86 Android apps. Android developers on e.g. Windows will test their apps during development, so the app will normally get compiled for x86 to use on an emulator on their PC. The ARM version is only required for the final published release, or testing on a real ARM device. But since x86 is the “default” in the development process, there is little reason not to send both to Google Play, since you are making x86 builds anyway for your own use during development.

Nowadays this process is mostly transparent for developers, they just write an app and Google Play handles splitting it by architecture, so most apps have an x86 version even if the developer didn’t do anything.

Of course there are, mostly for Chromebooks.

Sounds sensible to be honest. If you can rearrange icons on the desktop, and then you open the desktop folder, surely they should be arranged the same way unless chosen otherwise.
