  • making an analysis of the codebase itself, especially with ai, is gonna lead to very subjective results. this website is good because it finds telltale sings, like commit messages. if a commit says “written by claude”, you can’t really deny it! not to mention that for someone who doesn’t want to use ai because of ethical reasons, “just ask ai” is not gonna cut it.

    of course the website is not perfect. if someone hides their tracks, it won’t detect it. and it can have false positives: it’s gonna detect any agents.md (or similar) file, even one that says “this project does not accept ai-generated contributions” (example), and i’ve seen a case where it labeled a commit as generated by claude because it came from someone with an anthropic.com email address (i looked, and this person is not an ai but just an employee of anthropic lol). then, as with any tool, it becomes your job to do your due diligence and check for these sorts of things.





  • i guarantee you the lawmakers who pass this kind of awful law have no idea what systemd even is or what it does

    blaming it (or “systemd simps”) for this is a colossal waste of time. the surveillance society has been progressively installed in the imperial core ever since 9/11, age verification and what’s it turning into is a consequence of this, and systemd adding an age field is a consequence of that.

    blaming systemd for this shit, even in part, is so bafflingly silly, such a ridiculous example of swapping cause and effect that i can’t imagine you’re doing it sincerely but apparently people agree with this???

    that’s like blaming the small creek in your garden for the existence of the raging river upstream. idk.








  • it works for you because you got accustomed to it. cool! genuinely! but not everyone is a power user, not everyone will want to sift through documentation to find out how to do the thing they want that’s easy to do with word

    from the non-techy people i’ve spoken to who’ve used libreoffice, they all agree that it’s worse than ms office because it gets in the way more. it’s harder to do stuff, because it’s less intuitive to them.

    people in 3d modeling use blender. people in audio production use audacity. people in office work and schools, usually, do not use libreoffice, because if you can afford ms office it’s just better for them. maybe that will change with office now being ai-infested webviews held together with gum, javascript and ever increasing subscription prices… then again, that hasn’t slowed down adobe

    imo the upcoming audacity 4 is an incredible example of open-source ui redesign, and should be an inspiration to everyone. the ui is sleeker, faster, easier to use, and yet it’s still familiar to existing users! but you can do good stuff without recreating the whole ui from scratch like they did, of course
