I built a MAL clone using AI, nearly 700 commits of AI. Obviously I was responsible for the quality of the output and reviewing and testing that it all works as expected, and leading it in the right direction when going down the wrong path, but it wrote all of the code for me.

There are other MAL clones out there, but none of them do everything I wanted, so that’s why I built my own project. It started off as an inside joke with a friend, and eventually materialized as an actual production-ready project. It’s limited more by design of the fact that it relies on database imports and delta edits rather than the fact that it was written by AI, because that’s just the nature of how data for these types of things tend to work.

And if the maintainer doesn’t agree to merge your changes, what to you do then?

You have to build your own project, where you get to decide what gets added and what doesn’t.

I don’t really agree, I think that’s kind of a problem with approaching it. I’ve built some pretty large projects with AI, but the thing is, you have to approach it the same way you should be approaching larger projects to begin with - you need to break it down into smaller steps/parts.

You don’t tell it “build me an entire project that does X, Y, Z, and A, B, C”, you have to tackle it one part at a time.

The Louvre really can’t catch a break. I’m glad I saw it back in April of 2025, before any of this happened, because it ended up being my favourite part of my Paris trip.

Why does the bottle of water have to be scanned with the rest of your luggage? Could it not simply be separated from the rest of your luggage?

Why can’t the liquid be allowed on the plane after the rest of your luggage is scanned then?

Yep, it’s good for your health in moderation. As long as it’s not taking over your life to the point where it’s interfering with your normal life, it’s perfectly healthy and nothing to be ashamed about.

It’s really awful because unlike smoking or cocaine or anything else, you can’t just quit food. You need it to live, without it, you will die. Having too much of it permanently alters your hunger levels which makes you require more of it, it’s an endless feedback loop that scientists haven’t figured out yet.

It does seem like they might be making some progress on it with weight loss medicine, if it doesn’t outright cause cancer or other bad side effects. I guess we’ll see.

He already said criminals.

Okay, but we’re talking non-commercial and commercial websites alike both requiring photo ID.

That’s something new, that hasn’t happened before.

I think we learned our lesson, because we saw all the bad shit that happens lmao

Why do you bother saying this? You really think 10, 15 years ago sites required you to upload photo ID? Did you even use the Internet back then?

You’re right, men should just go die in a war they have no reason to fight and be happy about it.

It doesn’t sound like Lemmy has an issue with women’s rights, it sounds like you have an issue with equal rights.

I don’t live in USA so my knowledge of USA is limited, but isn’t that the previous NYC mayor and not the current NYC mayor?

Oh, it sounded like you were only there temporarily on a vacation. Living there definitely changes things.

In any case, it sounds like you’ll likely need to invest in a security camera.

Wait, this is on a vacation? Who cares lol it’ll be over soon enough

Well I mean that’s kind of what Lemmy is like since it’s far more niche than something like reddit, but AI crawlers will find it anyway.

There’s other options like wine-staging and wine-devel for newer programs, and also there’s paid options like CrossOver which can even be simpler to use than Wine.

If you want the latest Microsoft and Adobe software, you’re likely going to be out of luck, but, if you want the latest Microsoft software you’d probably stay on Windows anyway.

What about high end SWs who make $5000 a night, who do it because they want to make insane amounts of money, who often have other options and do it not because they have no other options, but because they want to?

It’s never going to go away because some people will still do it even if they don’t have to, but I agree that you can’t punish it away. It just ends up making it more dangerous for everyone involved which doesn’t really help anyone.
