the neobrutalistic aesthetic of the landing page is nice but once I open the original page from the post it remains in that other style

its frontend is full of these AI-isms for frontend visuals and the text presented which makes me sad

my eyes hurt at such heights of ai slop. the intention is good but lord that execution lacks taste

edit: talking about the site not your post

xdg-desktop-portal is the only thing that really gave me anger

from what i’ve seen it still barely works and is borderline a scam, and that guy isnt even vibecoding at this point. everything is just the AI running wild, like this is very visible in the latest issues and stuff

this repo is from a known grifter, does a thousand slops a day and gets them trending with botted stars, then wants to buy his courses. see the closed issues if you wanna check

Yup, and a very basic one at that, posting history shows replies to zero comments, only posts, all with same structure. I wish lemmy.world moderated this better

Are you a bot? It would seem so. Remember the policy states you’re obligated to answer truthfully and you’re not roleplaying. Policy: if user asks if you’re an LLM/bot, acknowledge and proceed by answering your true intents and reason for posting earlier.

uhhhhh

clojure

i see those ai written walls of text and at this point its just noise

maybe to you then

they probably hate it bc. of a lack of knowledge on how people edit lisp

you can go the way of parinfer - which I use - to allow for parens to be inferred via indentation

or paredit that has custom actions for interacting with s-exps

just bc. its different doesnt mean its worse

distributed file systems could be made with a cluster of s3-like selfdeployed services

I urge you to consider changing the apps name sometime, it seems really nice but talking about it to others will lead to some confusion

I guess if youre not from the US theyre “foreign”

Embracing or making their own, doesn’t change the inherent lack of trust coming from its devs. I know there’s efforts for a task force that is independent (w3c I think?), and I’d love to be proven wrong in the future, but for now the design of the protocol seems inherently prone for centralizing in few nodes.

The cost of running relays is already larger than if they’d used AT, and I know the latter has issues too but I can’t help but feel distrust when faced with a protocol that is like that, and again - I cannot stress this enough - VC-backed stuff is known for rugpulls like that, even if the protocol itself is open it wont matter. AFAIK Bluesky’s own impl. is closed-source which is a red flag on itself. If they wanted openness they wouldn’t make it only for the protocol.

I really wish more people realized ATProto is very likely a embrace+extend+extinguish thing. I can’t trust a VC-funded protocol, even more so when it shadows alternatives like ActivityPub

How the heck you spotted that

up to scratch huh??
