Anyone even a little bit active on the internet is getting "fuck you"s constantly, people need to harden up.

The problem here is the definition of abuse. And I don't mean to say that I'm 100% sure Godot overstepped in the github ban cases, but if they can ban people for criticizing them I wouldn't be surprised if they overstepped there too.

Mythical place to argue with people:

1. Your anonymous or whatever you say can't be used by another party against you.

2. There is a code of conduct that is strictly held (no interrupting, no ad hominem etc)

3. You can ask for time-outs and think before answering.

4. There is a bank of known knowledge that is considered true, very strict standards, as unbiased as possible, including confidence scales.

5. You are face to face.

Most of it was silly, but being banned on github for a reasonable objection is still very tyrannical.

Any advancement is going to increase inequality, the real issue is when AI starts to outmaneuver people with less IQ/education. This is much more of a problem for an avg 80 IQ population then a country with avg of 100 IQ.

Of course it's politics, you have billions of people thinking otherwise than what is accepted in the west.

This doesn't mean I agree with them, but pretending this isn't a complex and very large issue with multiple facets is just wrong.

As far as I can remember. There was a pro LGBT tweet that some people didn't like. And the moderator decided to blanket ban everyone who disagreed with the tweet. Some of the banned people had reasonable objections like: regardless if they agree with something or not politics and OS should be separated, and were still banned, including on GitHub. Others had objections also shared with the Godot founder and were still banned. There were some other things also but can't remember the details.

I get that, but again this seems like a quality problem. As for commitment a simple sorting algorithm which prioritizes repeat contributors should solve that.

Google Godot drama 2024, for some top-notch community mismanagement classes.

Doing an ad hominem for an argument about Unity/Godot is wild.

If Unity didn't commit hara-kiri I'm positive it would be much less successful.

> write one good PR

is about quality not AI which is exactly my point.

Wouldn't it make much more sense to just reject _low_ quality PR's?

On an unrelated note, I lost all respect and eagerness to try it out after the drama.

Chinese automakers are eating the low and mid-price range carmakers lunch. And it seems nothing helps:

- Local battery technology (Northvolt): Failed

- Taxes on Chinese imported cars: Failed (they are to cheep, and the EU doesn't want to be too aggressive)

The problem with Google and others like it is they have almost zero customer support, this could have been an easy ticket created by a fan or Louis, but of course Google is too prideful to have humans in the loop.

AI is already too useful to discard, we could automate 90% bureaucracy and government jobs and no one would feel the difference. But of course fear/angst/rage sells.

The fixation on word level plagiarism is bullshit, tell me how much of the novelty is plagiarized.

I generally agree with the sentiment, but giving the UK government more power while it's already trying very hard to implement a Stalinist State is just not a good idea.

There were times when there were more slaves in Athens than citizens.

The Arab led slave trade flourished for much longer, by some records it is alive even today.

The words Slav and slave have the same root.

There were times when 30-40% of the Korean population were slaves.

The Mongols killed and enslaved half of the known world.

Totally agree, the British Empire has a lot of blood on its hand, but compared to its forebears and contemporaries it did abolish slavery, a tradition that has roots as old as humanity itself.
