How, exactly, have tech workers behaved disgustingly over the past 20 years? Be specific

there's deepseek and a lot of other local models.

the anti-ai crowd is a cult. youre not going to logic them out of something their emotions are controlling.

Some people do

I considered to add that into my substitutions extension, but there might some unforeseen (albeit funny) consequences :D

I'm genuinely interested, but I'm a bit confused about the advantages.

Last I read up on Reticulum, I got this impression:

• it's not an IP routing network. You need specialized apps.
• there's a chat system that has store-and-forward behavior - if you're not online at the very moment when you get a message, it'll get replayed to you later. Which works like email. Except only one of the commonly used chat networks uses this store-and-forward thing...
• you can use different Reticulum network nodes to route traffic through, so if your personal one goes down, it'll seamlessly fail over to your friend's. However, it's not clear to me if the store-and-forward server thingy is now the single point of failure - does the storage get replicated among nodes?

Can you recommend LORA hardware to get for Reticulum? There's a zillion different offerings on the market, with half of them out of stock, some dodgy-looking options from AliExpress, and everything's more expensive than commonly discussed in forums. I'm in Europe, if it helps choose a vendor.

No, not at all. There’s some really good shit written in Rust. Didn't someone just re-write Minecraft in Rust?

“Written in Rust” as a slop indicator is like an AI scanner flagging a repo as AI-coded. Poor heuristic, infinite false positives. Which circles back to: if professional devs can’t tell the difference between AI-written and human-written Rust, the FuckAI crowd needs to rethink what “slop” actually means.

Or we need to admit that Rust is just...fucked :)

Nothing at all. OP just wants to hang shit on people using Rust because OP has an axe to grind against AI - which, given half a chance, will elect to code in Rust (as it's a well documented language). Therefore, Rust = sign of AI slop. (See downstream for their comments.

Rust is a fine language. Python is a fine language. OP needs a hug, some weed and BJ.

Also unsustainable: the code they generate.

It's huge, sprawling and messy.

No in isolation but when they say they made something in rust in a month then flags start going up.

On this end, you responded to an upstream post - federation does weird things to comment threading.

As for the 2nd meme: I posted it. I’m Gus. You just accidentally complimented my methodology and insulted yourself. Do you need me to type more s-l-o-w-l-y?

I tried photocraft and it's certainly usable. The video editor however wouldn't play anything I added to the timeline at all. I also tried the MS word clone and it's just janky-looking (like the text formatting seems to change if I click on the page? Hard to explain). I'd take pirated PS over it anyday though. One thing I can say is that photocraft is very fast to launch compared to Photoshop.

I have creative cloud that work pays for. It's awful, I hate it, I hate the launcher, I hate having to kick off my laptop so I can work on my desktop, I hate the whole sign in experience, and I hate how slow everything is. Most of all, I hate that I have to use windows for it.

Calling artcraft slop that doesn't work is just coping with refusing to accept that AI could be used to make something good. I don't open Photoshop anymore, photocraft launches in 1 second, I don't have to boot windows for it, it opens all my PSDs, and while I'm not the most advanced Photoshop user, it works well for everything I've tried.

Film craft works well too, I had missed results with ultra key and it's missing features, but it mostly works.

Pdfcraft replaced Acrobat, it can sign, it can stamp, it can do pretty much everything most people need already.

@myszka I'm lost and don't see what's wrong, sorry. Maybe search the Termux Wiki. I did this on two different phones (Pixel 6a and Motorola g86) without issue. I'm not root either. Termux recommends Material Files as file browser and I have tested several others without success.

Exactly. Lots of good stuff written in Rust!

Ok, clear. So, there is nothing wrong with the language itself, but its a good vehicle and indication for AI slop. Like the em dash of programming.

It's the preferred language choice for lots of slop projects because it's fast and memory safe. It's the language that lots of people would like to have written their projects in but couldn't because there is a steep learning curve, but LLMs let you slop out thousands of lines of rust without that.

Genuine question from a guy that knows nothing. What is the issue with Rust?

not ones that involve pasting the gpl into files.

No idea what you mean by that. And yes, you did post a meme https://lemmy.ml/post/54966051/28807351

which they are known to be able to regurgitate verbatim.

there are only so many ways you can write certain functions, and the most tedious part of generic application programming is configuration, where mostly there is no room for improvement; either the code is verbose or only decipherable by an established code breaker. hence modern SE has evolved certain patterns which you will find common across a variety of codebases.

Yeah, it's qualities that are useful for humans, too, like frontloading all the errors to compile time + good compiler error messages.

Like, I'm annoyed that people will be irrational about it, much like they associate Rust with rewrites in permissive licenses, even though it is just a tool. It entirely depends on how you use the tool.
But irrational people gonna irrational. Not much you can do about that...

Bold of you to call me a clown from inside the circus. Also, I didn't post the meme.

I feel like you're the bottom half of that shitty meme you posted.
