Aaaand that’s another slopper blocked!

A GNOME developer chimes in:

That’s a really good start! As a GNOME developer, we outright ban AI contributions altogether due to environmental reasons. I know these are guidelines, but could there be some considerations on mentioning environmental concerns? It should align with KDE Eco.

In which one KDE dev replies:

-1 on my side for mentioning environmental concerns; I don’t think it’s the LLM contribution policy’s job to cover that at all.

Yeah sure! If I ignore every bad thing about something I can absolutely gush about how good that thing is!

People can be morons, but at least they’re not authority cocksuckers!

Hell, Jacob Coxon, the guy who they cannot stop talking about, is a huge rationalist.

Its cults all the way down.

Pretty much.

And not before they called David’s post pointing out that THEY are hosting that “event” and showing it on THEIR OWN webpage “deceitful”…

…when they could, you know, simply not host it there in the first place.

This entire thread is a shitshow, one that is saddening to see.

KDE blocked David Gerard on Mastodon for that thread btw.

Edit: forgor to add the link: https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/117276666726477078

One look at their agents.md says otherwise

The rep who handles their masto account is very well spoken and presents rebuttals of value so I advise you bring your A game.

Yeaaaah like deleting their earlier posts to make themselves look better and claiming the “haters” are coming from K*wi Farms.

Truly good rebuttals right here!

The OP of that reddit post is literally the owner of that “uncensored” subreddit lmao. It is almost like he got shooed away from the regular subs for a reason or something.

(Namely him being a massive-ass troll and overall a prick to free software developers. Those “1000x worse replies”, while I believe are absolutely made up, would be entirely warranted.)

OP in Reddit is Artem S. Tashkinov a.k.a. birdie a.k.a. avis a.k.a. avem a.k.a. “why linux is not ready for desktop” fella.

Expecting anything else from that guy is a fool’s errand really.

And the OP is worth blocking just for bringing him to my sights alone (assuming that’s not him, that is).

No worries! And indeed!

Except that is a thing only for selling steam keys outside steam. There are no price parity clauses.

Also here is a gamedev saying that they’ll sell their game for a cheaper price on EGS: https://twitter.com/HeardOfTheStory/status/1700066610302603405

If what you saying was actually the case I am 120% sure Tim Sweeney would be all over it lol.

Lastly, there was ALREADY a case like that (Valve vs. Wolfire). The courts couldn’t find anything regarding Wolfire’s claims and then dismissed the case.
