Did you not see where I striked it through and the other comment already calling that out, and wherein already admitted my mistake?

You’re right, I didn’t. Retracted.

This isn’t a business model, you just used an img2img model and had the prompt day “remove the watermark”. Those who make models and run the apis have a business. You (or the creator of this) do not.

I was literally going to figure out how to fork and compile it myself if it was forced

Yeah I hate saying “use something else” but jellyfin really is not the right tool for audiobooks. OP is seeing the frustration now. Audiobookshelf is the way to go.

I think so too. Maybe it will turn out fine, maybe not. Personally I’ve been looking at git histories and waiting a month or so before getting excited, just to see if it will pan out.

Correct, and again, I’m someone who uses AI, I’m not one of the ones who are purely against it. The definition what what I’ve both done and seen:

• Using LLMs to code - fine. It’s a tool, use it as you’re saying. This is not what I’m talking about.
• Using LLMs to vomit out all of your code into one commit is vibecoding. It’s clearly vibecoding when there weren’t even multiple commits. No trial and error, no refinement, just one giant dump.

I do care how it’s coded because it shows how well it will be maintained into the future. If someone uses LLMs over months to build something it will probably be maintained. If someone vomited out all of that code in one vibecoded session, it’s very likely they’ll be bored and in a month it’ll be abandoned. That’s what I’m looking at, because tests can be automated now.

Maybe I’ll be wrong and in a month they’ll have committed hundreds of times and are trying to mature it. I have no evidence of that though, so there is no reason I’d risk trying it out.

Making your own and creating it is great. Maintaining it for years its great. Its why there is so much respect for other projects. You can see the months and years of dedication right in the git history.

Vibe coding something and trying to be on par with the other projects is hubris. It’s assuming you can do a better job than the groups and maintainers with an AI tool. Then to make it worse, it will probably never be updated or maintained. That’s why I and I assume others dislike it. It’s minimal effort with the arrogance on top.

Like I said. I enjoy vibe coding things. I’ve done a few. However I don’t go and pitch them as alternatives to well known OSS projects, because I know my vibe coding could never compare.

What immich, ente, and the others weren’t enough? Had to still vibe code your own?

And I’m saying this as someone who enjoys vibe coding a few projects. I’m not against it. But it’s arrogance to assume you can vibe code something better than proven OSS alternatives

Fairphone has their own with /e/OS

Honestly for scanning a codebase like they’re talking about it’s maybe, and I mean maybe a few hundred, it you had it scrutinize and lay out every method. Pennies for a company.

Thanks to both! Trying it now, at least I can receive emoji responses correctly now, not sure if I can send them

I saw the project that did this. It was satirical, and I think the point was to show how absurd it would be to maintain everything yourself, even with AI

Fully agree. I think Slop is getting polluted (especially here on Lemmy) to anything that even remotely touches AI. We’ve had AI for decades. We’ve had LLMs now for a while. Slop is something relatively new. For me, Slop is low-quality bullshit that is thrown out into the void for clicks and likes, a cheap alternative when a better solution exists.

I recently was given an excel document I had to convert, with about 50 columns on it. I had to build a regular import. Now, I could spend a few hours typing that in manually as a C# class, or a few hours coding up some script to scrape the headers into the type, or I could utilize a tool that I have that will spit it out for me into a class. I don’t consider this slop, I consider this the grain of truth that all the tech bros fixate their grand embellishments around. AI does have usages. It’s not nearly what they think it is, but it is there.

Personally, I don’t care. It’s a tool. It’s the same as when drag and drop GUI editors came around. Some people think it’s the worst thing ever created and others see it as a tool that removes boilerplate. I think using it in a project or as a maintainer is a personal decision.

What is interesting is how we praise open source maintainers for building (let’s remember) free software for us to use, but then the community is extremely quick to demonize them. It’s very easy to criticize, but I don’t see anyone stepping up to fix the list of issues themselves by hand either, to fork it and become the sole maintainer moving forward.

Maintaining open source is a thankless job, and they do it for free. They do not owe anyone anything, and their morals are their own. What was probably a side project years ago is now an entire operation, what was fun is probably now work, and yeah, if I was faced with the same dilemmas, I’d probably be looking for tools to relieve some stress too.

Every developer just died thinking about the maintenance

They’ve been spamming this a few times now, fully respect your decision, but I know I commented on this exact post about 2 weeks ago the same as everyone else here, just FYI if you didn’t know they’ve been repeating it. (Maybe it was an alt acct, not sure, but I know I said the same thing before)

Look out! Your computer is SPYING on you! Did you know your computer has ALL of your PRIVATE photos, documents, and personal information on it!

All it would take would be someone to have physical access to it and the encryption keys and they would have access to all of it!

I see there’s still a pro version though, that’s how Insomnia started and features have slowly been leeching to “pro only”, is that a worry with this one?

Bruno looks almost exactly the same! Thank you!
