Lutris maintainer use AI generated code for some time now. The maintainer also removed the co-authorship of Claude, so no one knows which code was generated by AI.
Anyway, I was suspecting that this "issue" might come up so I've removed the Claude co-authorship from the commits a few days ago. So good luck figuring out what's generated and what is not.
The snipe from the dev about removing the co-authorship is particularly shitty.
Devs of open source software need the thick skin to be able to say "This is how I'm going to handle things as long as I'm the lead, you don't have to like it." but this goes beyond it into an active "fuck you" to their users.
Edit: the second link has less charged discussion, but it's still getting wrapped up in "anthropic bad" stuff that's not actually related to code quality.
If the project is not the space for non-code quality concerns like Anthropic's business dealings, then it is also not the place for one of the devs to try their personal social project of "seeing if contributors can differentiate between AI assisted commits and not". Listing claude as a co-author where it was used serves a practical purpose of drawing extra eyes for review of relevant commits.
Great, hope people like Electron because Heroic is pretty much the only other option, that or just manually putting everything in Steam.
I'm tired boss
I always found Lutris to be troublesome at best. Always had better luck with Bottles.
From reading the posted threads the Lutris devs have even bigger red flags, the AI usage seems like just another symptom of their total disdain for the users of their program.
This explains why the updates have ruined everything in the past month. I turned off updates on Lutris so my games will actually still work.
AI sucks and needs to go away.
Dam. Glad I never really used lutris lol
You have got to be fucking kidding me.
Edit: new development. Learning Epic launcher and it's better so far. Have removed Lutris. Let me pretend this is a win for a little while before telling me that it is equally fucked, thanks
Can a motherfucker get a break, PLEASE.
I use Lutris for games that don't work in Steam/Proton, usually an older game like Black and White 2 or the old Sims 2 game (before the updated version came out). Why is everything I like turning to shit! :(
Is Heroic still safe?
