102·5 days agoThey’re using the word “retarded” but swapping out the ‘t’ for a ‘g’ as self-censorship. See: the comment below from another user making this more explicit by calling me “fucking retard”.

97·5 days agoUsing an ableist slur but pussyfooting around it by swapping out the ‘t’.
What a little bitch. Commit to being a shithead or don’t.
Edit: Since there’s confusion: this is a common spelling of the word “retarded” to get around filters. They just used it here, where there is no filter, because they wanted to use a slur but know it’s looked down upon to use slurs.

622·6 days agoFamily members were in tears during the hearing at Cheshire Coroner’s Court as Coroner Jacqueline Devonish announced that she found Lucy Harrison died due to unlawful killing on the grounds of gross negligence manslaughter.
The coroner said: "To shoot her through the chest whilst she was standing would have required him to have been pointing the gun at his daughter, without checking for bullets, and pulling the trigger.
“I find these actions to be reckless.”

Open Source@lemmy.ml•OpenTS is a new open-source reconstruction of Command & Conquer: Tiberian SunEnglish
11·8 days ago“… appears to work on Linux with Proton 11 as captured in my screenshot above”
The emphasis in that point was the word “finally”, not “playable state”. As in “it’s finally working after x amount of time” like you’d expect with a project that takes any appreciable time to get working.

31·8 days agobefore hearing about it
while* hearing about it. The only introduction is a bulleted list of what the project is and isn’t that Liam copy–pasted from their docs. Nothing about any anticipation; nothing about how long it had been in the works; nothing about the authors; no link to a release blog or previous story discussing it in any way; nothing about finally being in a playable state/anything related to the dev cycle. Liam talked about it like it popped into existence (true) and they were just hearing about it for the first time (true).
Combined with what I said above, it’s just basic media literacy that I’m reading about a dead-end throwaway project.
it’s deeply cynical
I gave it a shot by reading the article, which was more than it deserved.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•OpenTS is a new open-source reconstruction of Command & Conquer: Tiberian SunEnglish
114·8 days agoYeah, “as expected”. The project showed up out of nowhere five days ago and is clearly vibe-coded to fuck and back. The talk of how “oh, it accelerated development, but we checked everything, we swear” is obvious bullshit like it is with basically all of these dime-a-dozen, dead-end slop projects that are showing up everywhere.
No, it would not “just as readily have been an entirely human passion project”, because those take months to years, and you therefore hear about them organically as they’re in development; they don’t show up out of the aether to get a few paragraphs’ mention on an obscure Linux blog. Even from a statistical point of view, those passion projects are vanishingly few compared to the slop projects.

1919·8 days ago“AI models — Codex, Claude, and DeepSeek — substantially accelerated the final phase. They were given disassembly, decompiled pseudocode, surrounding reconstructed source, engine context, compiler errors, and binary-diff feedback, and helped interpret functions, generate candidate implementations, and iterate toward closer matches. Their output was never treated as authoritative: every candidate was reviewed by developers, compiled, compared against the reference executable.”
As expected: slop.

Proof positive that only a tiny minority of people on Lemmy bother checking a post past the headline when it comes to politics/news.
I’ve seen a link to BBC News before where 50 people upvoted it (zero downvotes except mine), except the entire time, it was an invalid URL and went to a 404. No comments except mine, which was calling this out and asking OP to fix the URL (they never did; comment was upvoted 1:0).
This post isn’t relevant to this community at all, is posted by a 3-year-old account with essentially just this post, and breaks literally every listed rule of this comm.

Open Source@lemmy.ml•LibreOffice 26.8 Doubles Down on No AI, Right After Collabora Welcomed ItEnglish
82·12 days agoof course the marketing speak release note is going to sound like AI marketing speak
Weird. Because I’m not talking about the release note; I’m talking about It’s FOSS’ commentary on the release note. I read LibreOffice’s 26.8 blog post, and as someone who’s written a release blog before, it looks like a human wrote it. You’d think it wouldn’t if “of course it’s going to sound like AI marketing speak”.
Did you read what I wrote that you think I’m talking about the marketing note for LibreOffice 26.8?

I’m confused what you’re confused about. This is a direct quote – formatting and all – from the article. OP stripped out e.g. the emojis when pasting it here.

708·12 days agoHow ironic, then, that this It’s FOSS article reeks of slop.
🆕 LibreOffice 26.8: What’s New?
There’s no AI in LibreOffice 26.8. Nothing about the suite talks to a remote server, and none of it needs an internet connection to work.
This isn’t an oversight; it’s a promise. TDF says that if your work can’t leave the building for legal or privacy reasons, the only way to prove that later (during an audit, for example) is if the software never gave it anywhere to go.
Anyhow, coming back to the editors. 👇
Absolutely fuck this shit.
Edit: Here’s the blog post from TDF themselves if you don’t just want an AI chewing up and vomiting out what the humans behind LibreOffice wrote.
