Fair response to someone opening an issue just to broadly complain about AI imo

Great...

So how's Heroic for playing older PC games installed from discs?

There are people who would share their pornhub activity before they share what they coded with AI.

Doesn’t personally affect me, but I understand that some people do

GenAI use should be declared if significant

I already stopped using Lutris for a while. Most of the things I try to install with it straight up don't work anymore.

Edit:

Anyway, is there an alternative to Lutris, besides installing games and programs with Steam?

I had to google "Lutris" to remember what it was. I have it installed... I guess this post made me realize how little I use it and that I should uninstall the slop.

While it may become impossible to determine whether those digitized pixels are "real" or not, I sense that analog will be making a comeback in the not too distant future.

I've been using Lutris for several years, but after reading about the LLM additions, I've removed it from my system and am now solely using Heroic for my non-Steam games.

It's time to hardfork it!

I would never use the product, just for that very line...

It's only an issue if Lutris becomes closed source or the available code becomes impossible to review by humans.

As I see it:

• any open source code that is unreviewed by others (mostly hidden work) can be dangerous to use.
• Maintainer is still maintainer unless fork
• Maintainer still... Maintains Lutris which I'm unable to do
• Maintainer is and admits to being a Troll. Also admits to using AI. Both are better than trying to hide it.
• See point one.

I get the AI hate, but as Maintainer does, I believe it being shitty cause we don't live in a good or nice system, and it can't be removed. Maximum is it being forbidden, which somehow does not make it feel safer at all.

Whether I like it or not, it's there. Let's get back to point one.

AI bros try not to be assholes challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]

AI assisted coding is okay as long as you're transparent about it and don't do this shit.

It's not my decision wether lutris has ai code in it or not. The maintainers and contributors can decide what works for them, that's how open source works. I never found a use for lutris and maybe that's why I don't care.

The Lutris team is small, not corporate, not speed obsessed, etc. I'm inclined to trust them to be among those developers who can use generated code without slopping nonsense all over a code base they know they will probably be stuck maintaining.

Meh, I don't really care. It's a free product and it does what I need it to. Just open an issue if there's actually something wrong with the code itself or pick another software if you disagree with the maintainer. There's really no need for drama here.

I hope someone did a Mutris fork.

Honestly? It’s a front end for some other tools to play games on Linux, if someone finds a performance issue or security hole we can react, but if this makes the Maintainers’s life easier I don’t know how much I really care, John Henry can fork it if they want and show how much better work they do than Claude
