What does Gnome dislike about the idea so much?

Nothing more offensive to a capitalist than trying to get your money back

I think that’s largely true in the US, at least.

Pretty sure Clusterpuck '99 on Steam supports up to 8

More accurately, if you claim you used Claude, I will assume absolutely anything produced with it has a high chance of being rife with errors. If you provided citations for every last detail and then said Claude put it together, I wouldn’t trust it until I’ve personally verified the sources because not only will it hallucinate details, it’ll hallucinate sources. Anything produced with it is inherently untrustworthy.

Yeah, but the only source explicitly provided in this hypothetical is the hallucination machine.

Given it has to be done in defiance of the manufacturer by reverse engineering the drivers… Yeah, it’s impressive.

Because we don’t see all that research, we just see a comment where you said you asked the hallucination machine, so now, if I want to use anything you said, I have to go duplicate all that research before I can trust it.

Original comment was lamenting inability to record at 4k 60 FPS, but I thought they wanted to view 4k on the phone, like with a 4k display. If I remember right, the detail would be too fine to really matter on a phone screen, but if you’re recording instead, you can obviously just watch on something else and I sound like an idiot.

Nobody asked you? Why do we care what you think?

Nobody asked you in particular, either, but here we are like 3-4 replies deep anyway. Even if we had, you’ve refused to answer so you can act like a smug cunt instead, so you’d apparently be useless at it anyway.

Sounds to me like you’re insecure and looking for a free handout instead of being able to come up with a coherent reason for why you’re owed something you’ve not earned.

My guy, then just shut the fuck up. You don’t have to use it as an opportunity to grandstand and fellate yourself for being so smart to get it. You could just say nothing if you don’t want to actually contribute. Honestly, you’ve been worse than useless here.

I misread, my bad, thought they were talking about viewing, not recording.

Oh, I misread, my bad, I thought it was about viewing 4k, not recording.

There’s no way the human eye can resolve 4K in full detail at the scale of a phone.

I misread, my bad. I thought they were talking about viewing, not recording.

You’re spending more effort to be a smug prick than it would take to just rattle off an example or three. Sounds more to me like you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about and just want to publicly stroke your… Ego.

User counts are still pretty low from my understanding. Device support is spotty at best, and even devices with support might not have every piece of hardware working properly, so just how usable it is depends on your device and your technical skills. If manufacturers made it any easier at all to make drivers, that’d probably change quickly, but that hasn’t happened yet.

Things are coming along, though. More and more apps work well with the mobile form factor, though definitely not all. There are Android emulators so you can run Android apps when you need to. I think we’re currently at the point where if you have the right device, some technical skill, and some stubborn will to make it work, you could actually daily drive it. Most probably won’t want to yet, though.

I’d rather see non-proprietary mobile Linux like postmarketOS, Mobian, or Ubuntu Touch.

Unfortunately, the 4th is pretty well destroyed at the border. And within 100 miles of the border.

You don’t blame the knife when people get stabbed, so why blame AI for code it generated on the developer’s behalf?

Because creating a knife doesn’t require a tens of MW data center that runs on gas turbines, making the surrounding area unlivable with noise pollution. It doesn’t require stealing knowledge from the entire world and then selling us our own knowledge back. It doesn’t help billionaires lay off tens of thousands of us.

can’t take people seriously, because most people pick and choose when it’s convenient to be moral and ethical.

So you’re using other people’s moral flexibility to justify your own rather than taking any sort of stance of your own, cool.

Same people who don’t like AI pollution are using cars and plastics in their daily lives and would absolutely flip out if someone would ask them to give it up for the environment.

Using cars as an example is a bit disingenuous since in the US, at least, huge swathes of the nation are simply not built for pedestrians; buying and maintaining a car is the hidden tax you pay to the auto industry instead of the government. There are plenty of places in the US where it is not safe to bike or walk. Some of us are pissed about it, but what are we supposed to do until infrastructure is massively reworked at exorbitant cost?

AI is just the current “trend” to hate and be moral about because not many people are depending on it yet in ther day to day life.

This is nothing more than an attempt to downplay the issue so you can ignore it.

I understand that people have concerns, but those concerns are only relevant if they come from a maintainer or repo owner point of view.

This just isn’t true. Whether I’m a developer or not, I have to deal with the security issues that come with running the code. I have to deal with the bugs that come from it. I have to decide if I’m willing to support practices I may consider unethical used to produce the software, especially if I’m considering donating to the project. I don’t need to be a topic expert to understand that AI code is prone to bugs and security vulnerabilities, nor do I need to be one to consider the massive ecological damage and copyright violation required to train the plagiarism machine.

However, to use AI to brainstorm, get suggestions, discuss architecture, learn with examples, and assist basically like someone else is sitting next to you while you code yourself… that is something completely different, and results in a completely different outcome.

Generally, people take the most issue with using it to actually generate code in any capacity. There are purists who might insist you not even touch AI, but I think most draw the line at including code or graphics not written by a human.

In the end, it depends on can the person at the steering wheel take full ownership and accountability of the code they produced, with or without AI.

If we presume ethically neutral tools, sure, but the massive damage to ecosystems and towns that comes with training, using, and powering AI are seen by many as outweighing the utility they’re able to provide.

Some people have serious ethical and quality concerns about AI usage in code in a way that’s just irrelevant to the OS and IDE used to code it.
