The meat brain is the only one that can be held accountable.

Don't see how it makes the whining any less pointless

Do you think the attention and engagement is because people think this is some sort of an "ai misalignment" thing? No. AI misalignment is total hogwash either way. The thing we worry about is that people who are misaligned with the civilised society have unfettered access to decent text and image generators to automate their harassment campaigns, social media farming, political discourse astroturfing, etc.

I think when Fish shell announced the Rust rewrite, they especially highlit that, in the form of "being more attractive to contributors" as one of the reasons.

The core of their complaint is that if you use `jj edit` it's not obvious how to get a diff of what you did. The answer, of course, is that you can use `jj evolog -p`.

Ah, yes that reading of the “work is invisible” is likely.

I think a part of the point is to question the need for things like that. Do your users actually need all of these bells and whistles?

Nothing changed, you need to know that host:port first, and that's where the problems with the official serverlist being flooded with fake entries become apparent.

That really is not a solution.

Third party servers used to host plenty of non-standard gamemodes that Valve does not provide. Retakes, mentioned in the blogpost, is one of those modes.

of course! But there isn't much else to do so I'm just giving a solution that works for me

Could it be that it gets no credit for things it got right because it got barely anything right?
