Krita’s Maintainer is awesome!

@Li @halla @KitsuneofInari fine, they’re not tools, they’re stamps.

@halla @Li @KitsuneofInari I completely respect the decision of the maintainers, and think it’s better to have a clear policy than let the debate stew and simmer. Given the user base and sentiment against the GenAI topic, it’s possibly even the right move.

I just want to see an even better justification, like: we don’t add code, we tactically remove it. Our code base is a sculpture, and LLMs aren’t much help here.

Or even: as you kind of wrote above, Krita is an expression of the joy of art through the joy of coding. We aren’t feeling the vibes when you PR us your lobster soup, but feel free to make your own painting program from scratch. Call it Pincha, if you want!

@Li @KitsuneofInari I think the main issue is not the code you design and write, but that its interacting with code and users you don't fully know. Often requirements or the assumptions behind the code you change or the code you interact with are not documented. Often users don't tell you what they really want. Or don't know that a small action they don't tell you in the error report is the key to understand the bug.

Good software developers are not nerds or code monkeys, but good mentalists.

@KitsuneofInari That’s a really eloquent way to describe my issue with “as long as you understand the code” argument.

That never mattered.

I won’t merge code written entirely by human just because they understand it. Because what matters is whether after an isekai accident someone new will be able to work with it.

@KitsuneofInari KDE developers try not be based challenge, literally impossible.

@mischievoustomato @KitsuneofInari or it might end up like windows 11 that takes a whole second to render the fucking right click context menu lmao

@KitsuneofInari ...and removes copyright from the rest of the code unless it is explicitly marked as LLM generated.

"Some may say, as long as the contributor understands the code it's fine, but that's a fallacy. No programmer really fully understands the code they are working with."

[simondev@jasette.facil.services]

@KitsuneofInari I mean, those are pretty strong reasons

[wrath0110@mastodon.social]

@KitsuneofInari I totally agree! Hold the line!

[nev@status.nevillepark.ca]

@g1comics @KitsuneofInari @halla you're doing God's work

[ratfactor@mastodon.art]

@GezThePez It is not, no.

@g1comics @KitsuneofInari @halla

Heck yeah! 🩵

[morningsong@weirder.earth]

@KitsuneofInari Hell yeah!

[bluestarultor@tech.lgbt]

@ulyssesalmeida @KitsuneofInari Aside from them all slapping their branding on it? Poor code quality. LLMs don't know how to call existing functions; they just write new code with some stab at the same functionality. Heck, they're finding Claude Code is vibe-coded by Claude itself and it's so incapable of calling functions that it's literally re-prompting itself instead.

If that's any indication, detecting generated code is as simple as a gut check. If your guts are wringing your lunch back out, it's generated. XD

@KitsuneofInari MORE OF THiS KIND Of THiNG

[jigmedatse@social.openpsychology.net]

@KitsuneofInari@mastodon.sakura-star.net Inkscape has said similar...

[xarizzar@mastodon.social]

@KitsuneofInari There is such a thing as making mistakes because of carelessness, and it is also one reason why bugzilla is not empty, aside from not understanding the code. That said, this is a nitpick and I pretty much agree with everything they said.

@yunohost De fait, on doit s'attendre à ce que des logiciels comme Nextcloud soient retirés du catalogue ? Et d'autres comme LocalAI ?

[tinsuke@mas.to]

@KitsuneofInari @halla it is heartwarming to see such integrity from great FOSS projects.

Keep up the awesome work!
