Did you find a way to see how many of those credits you already used? To me it looks like they have completely removed access to that information from individual devs and only admins can manually generate reports containing it.

Also funny in that issue:

The reporter “Ramon Batllet” (strongly doubt that is their real name, a search for it returns nothing but articles about this very issue) uses extremely polished corporate language and repeatedly uses “we” at first. Then when directly asked “Could you disclose on whose behalf you’re discussing this?”, they suddenly switch to “I” instead of “we” and claim to be a solo developer with no commercial interest. They still write in a style humans only produce for polished corporate reports, not like any regular human would actually do in a normal conversation.

So we have either a bot or someone very heavily leaning on bot usage for just about everything accusing someone of deceptive behavior, while in the same conversation trying to probably hide, but at least not fully disclose, their heavy usage of technology the accused explicitly does not want to interact with.

Where did you get that quote from? I can’t find it in the linked article.

the consensus seems to be that adding instructions to code that sabotage other people’s work goes too far.

Citation needed. Personally I think it was fine in this case. I work with a lot of software developers (real ones, not vibe coders; but also not strictly anti-AI), and would expect most of them to agree and get a laugh out of it.

It was done in a way that can only cause any serious trouble for users who recklessly ignore decades of development best practices. Those users will run into a wall sooner or later anyway, better let it be something relatively harmless but still severe enough to get them to actually think about what they are doing and how to make their setup more robust.

Very useful for hobbyists and prototyping.

True, but that is not the only thing they are useful for; e.g. many high end measurement instruments ship with FPGAs so they can get improvements after release for functionality where implementing it in software would be too slow.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. Let me first reiterate that none of what I wrote was intended as shaming or attacking people who do not like partying.

I strongly disagree with “Seems like I’m the issue”. Seems to me more like you have very good reasons to dislike all parties you could realistically attend currently, and to generalize from that to not liking parties in general is only natural.

I did not want to convince anyone they are wrong; just to share my perspective that not all parties are the same, and they can be fun even for people who think they don’t like them in general if done right.

I’m sorry, I usually try to avoid making comments that don’t add anything significant to the discussion, but I can’t stop myself in this case:

LOL

For both tanning beds and drugs there is a significant health risk. In a society that treats health as a purely personal matter, those probably should not factor in to the question of acceptable or non-acceptable harm to others. In a society that treats health as a shared common responsibility, it does factor in because it takes up resources that could otherwise be used elsewhere.

This might also partially explain why healthcare in the USA is the way it is: It is in conflict with the American interpretation of what freedom means.

P.S.: Not assuming you personally are American, but the ideas you expressed are in line with what you would expect from a stereotypical American about this topic.

If you don’t like partying, either you just don’t like people and music (which is fine, no shaming intended), or you have only ever been to bad parties.

A good party has:

• people who like each other and are all there to enjoy each others company (and they don’t need an excuse like watching sports to do that)
• good music
• a space where you can dance if you feel like it
• a space where the music is silent enough to have interesting conversations
• maybe a motto and costumes, some made with minimal effort, some self-made as an outlet for creative energy, maybe even some superficial roleplaying to go along with it
• maybe some other activity you can do together like table football or table tennis or twister or …

So do you think selling cars should be illegal, or is “adults should be able to do just about anything they want, even if it harms themselves, as long as it doesn’t harm others” maybe just a tad too simplistic of a rule to decide what should or should not be allowed?

I think adults should be able to do just about anything they want, even if it harms themselves, as long as it doesn’t harm others.

Producing and selling a tanning bed does harm other people.

I fully support this idea for everyone else, this is clearly the right way to approach the topic.

Doesn’t stop me personally from trying to transform a few more kilos of fat into muscle though. My excuse is that it is for health reasons, but deep down I know vanity is a relevant factor.

Maybe I am getting paranoid, but this does read like it was generated at least with the help of an LLM, if not fully written by one.

PS/Edit: What does it say about us as humans if we associate well structured and thought out responses that are internally consistent and don’t contain any obvious errors with “not human”?

Meanwhile in Germany, somewhere around 12 % are satisfied with the work of Chancellor Friedrich Merz with somewhere around 85 % actively disapproving.

Don’t get me wrong, I too am far from satisfied with the work of Chancellor Merz, but with all his faults he is still far away from being anywhere near as awful as Trump.

You can’t prove they are not winning as long as they refuse to define any goals. 🤷

Yes.

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow?

I really want to disagree with you, but Kiesinger was a literal Nazi and Kohl was blatantly and openly corrupt.

only 37 percent of adults approve of Trump’s work as president

That is still almost 100 million people saying “this is fine”. They must be completely decoupled from reality, and that is scary.
