Finally some good use for AI! I'd still prefer the original GTK1.2 version, though.

I am guessing the AI framing is why this post got so many downvotes. Even though this is the most neutral (harmless?) use case imaginable: porting over a long abandoned open source app from 15+ year ago without any institutional involvement (commercial or otherwise).

This sort of petty acting out benefits no one.

That being said, I would rather deal with the unproductive attitude towards AI, than with the shills on Reddit. So many regressives parroting PR copytext.

Yep! On Lemmy, if they see AI in the title, they won't even read the article. They'll just downvote.

Very annoying that a tech-centric crowd like Lemmy, can be so close-minded about some of the greatest tech ever. I love reading about ai tech, so I'm not part of that group.

I appreciated your article!
