or G’d forbid Perl. Oh i can think of something worse, PHP.

Using geany. It’s simple tabbed text editor which does not get in your way.

it’s not awesome; just does the job and has zero ambition to march towards enshittification

Everyone commenting have read and understood the article. Perhaps the nuance of the conversation is just going over your head. Your commentary is your personal opinion, which is outside of the source material. What you copy+pasted is exactly what we’ve commented on.

The article never said “reviewing Gnome extensions, where LLM was used, is a huge waste of time”. You are adding to what’s said. The adults are not pulling from outside the article.

We are stating what the article lacks. We are not hallucinating. So if we are not hallucinating then you must not be following. Reread it a few times until you get it.

A saner organization would also hit up submitters for a reviewer’s fee. This would reduce AI spam. Barriers to entry matter.

A reviewers fee is equivalent to Canonical offering customer support contracts. Obviously a person that needs to lean on AI as a crutch, is just screaming out for reviewers to act as advisers. The reviewer just wielding the giant DENIED stamp is fun, but doesn’t address the issue of noobs implicitly asking to work with a consultant.

gnome reviewers obviously never missing an opportunity to miss an opportunity.

They should state a justification. Not merely what they are looking for to identify AI generated code.

The justification could be the author is unlikely to be capable of maintenance. In which case the extension is just going to inconvenience/burden onto others.

So far their is no justification stated besides, da fuk and yuk.

Have been in the exact same situation. Had a code base written in PHP that needed porting to Python. i’m still porting it.

The lesson here is maybe you gotta hold on to what you have and then work on a replacement without throwing away the golden goose.

Was managing a 3,500 person network.

Was that during the period Bill Gates was still married, but enjoying plane flights with other billionaires?

what’s your secret name for the project?

the ludwicks of Void Linux ftw!

i’d actually like to do something else with my lifetime besides constantly being tossed around for no apparent benefit. i’m sure there is a good excuse. There always is.

Sorry

Is that a quote from Forest Gump movie?

Slightly healthier words of wisdom

from multiprocessing import Lock
l = Lock()

flake8 … way too ambiguous

so what if it’s 100x slower /nosarc

so does zfs, so does wayland, so does trying out every distro, so does trying out every text editor and associated plugins, so does trying out ventoy, so does GrapheneOS, …

Everything makes life easier, but comes down to,

Linux isn't free, it costs you your time

Which can be reframed, what do you really want to spend your time on?

If i really really really had to answer that overly honestly, want:

• my GUI apps non-blocking on heavy background processes

• distributing out tasks to many computers and runners

None of which screams or necessitates systemd or zfs or wayland or trying out every distro, every text editor every plugin, ventoy, or GrapheneOS.

Not in a house with a fox with a crow and a bow a knot on a cot or relaxed in the snow, i will not eat never ending random suggestions Sam, i will never eat them Sam i am.

There is lots of complexity creep. And i’m one person with a finite lifespan. So had to decide what to spend time on.

systemd is ideal for those running servers. I’m publishing Python packages and wanted to keep focused on that.

If you wish to work for me for free, cuz i have zero access to labor or funding, to upgrade my tech infrastructure, i could be a useful person to know.

Especially if you believe strongly i should be running much better infrastructure.

i ditched Ubuntu for Void Linux LXDE. Void Linux has runit rather than systemd

This predates snapd

Just got back from talking with our team. The senior coder in charge of emojis in usernames is currently upgrading the windmills in the uk, having been able to enhance efficiency by 0.001%. Wow! Thats 14 Mega tons of CO2 removed from the atmosphere every year!

Will take the weekend to get commercial Fusion energy rolled out and right after that will address your issue. Which i’m sure many other users will be thankful you brought to our attention. And luckily had the right man for the job on staff. He’s amazing, capable, enthusiastic, and eager to help.

“I admire your creativity. Will talk with our team, get their feedback, and timeline. See when can add support for emojis in usernames”
