They are trying to make foldable iPhones because everyone else is making a foldable phone, but have they stopped and asked themselves if people want and need a foldable?
I have yet to see a real use case for something like a Samsung Z flip, and carrying a bulky Z fold phone in my pocket only to be able to have a tablet once in a while and watch a movie is not interesting enough.
From what I saw it was actually rising. A lot of Brazilian signed up when X was banned in their country and all the indicators are going up it seems.
I don’t know where they got their numbers, to me it feels like they needed an excuse to cut costs.
The hacktoberfest used to be cool, people contributing meaningfully to projects.
Now it’s a rush to who will make the trashiest PR, adding a space here in a readme, adding an unrelated file to your repo…
Once again I won’t be participating, as a maintainer nor as a contributor (didn’t participate last year as I got more and more trashy pr until the 2022 edition when I decided it was enough).
I’m an unpaid maintainer working on my own projects, so far I got (in my opinion) a lot of external contributions on those projects but people do not stay.
I just like working on my projects for fun, and seeing the stars in GitHub people seem to like the project, I’m just the only one creating issues on it and improving the product mainly for fun.
As a maintainer it isn’t easy to get people onboard, as a contributor I have very strict needs to contribute to a project (good documentation, should be build easily with a few commands and not require a 40 years old version of an unmaintained software, a guide to know how to contribute (contributing.md)), and I’ve done my best to add that to my projects so I could onboard myself from another universe.
Oh and no discord. I had one at first (and still have for webhooks and discussing with a few people, but it’s closed and I’m pushing everyone to GitHub discussion).
« creating an AI fund to back projects in these [poorer] nations, establishing AI standards and data-sharing systems, and creating resources such as training to help nations with AI governance. »
So basically burn money and energy on some hallucinating algorithm should be as important as investing in green energy and reducing CO2 levels. That makes sense. Like, yeah, totally onboard. What could go wrong?
Heck, I sometimes can’t understand my own code. And this AI thing tries to tell me I should move this code over there and do this and that and then poof it doesn’t compile anymore. The thing is even more clueless than me.
People prefer having something generating shitty code and not checking it, instead of asking or searching on internet for a substantially better solution
Every time I work on CIs I just lose it after 1 or 2 commits and squash merge later on. Also when integrating projects together (eg I'm working on a language and made a POC for a new parser in a separate project) I'm just like "hajzjgkzlabai yes"
Damn that sucks
