“Corporation” is a legal term; Valve is privately owned, but it’s structured as an LLC or Limited Liability Company.

“Corporation” is a type of company. Valve is a Limited Liability Corporation or LLC.

Agreed wholeheartedly. I’ve already applied the level 3 badge to my project. I was just saying last week that it’s impossible to know what anyone expects in a disclosure because there are no standards, so this was really perfectly timed for my needs!

Fuck that. What we need is to force anyone who wants to go to war, to go to fucking war - leaders on the front lines. The rest of us get to stay home and live our lives.

We’d never have another war again.

Which one were you chatting with? I expect chatgpt or Gemini, but it’d be wild AF if this was a local model…

Because coding is hard work even with AI assistance, and people who don’t code will judge you the loudest and longest and meanest for using AI to make the work easier. I personally suffer rejection sensitivity dysphoria so I understand the emotions behind their actions.

But yeah, everyone just ignores the years of coding work this person did for nothing just to help people enjoy their games, to crucify them for using AI and then having feelings about getting yelled at by the very beneficiaries of their prior work.

It’s not like they’re stripping out or reimplementing contributions and taking the project closed source, like BookLore. People need some damn perspective.

This. We’re all overworked so we all have less energy for things like keeping ourselves fit. And actually exercising really doesn’t sell itself either, it hurts and it’s hot and I’m still trying to catch my damn breath from my sets earlier. Stupid maintenance.

But it beats the hell out of literally slowly suffocating in my chair at my desk.

Agree completely, these shenanigans are a big reason I’m on a selfhosting rampage at the minute. Speaking of, does anyone have favourite self-hosted alternatives?

Oh-ho, well then, it’s a real tragedy that the only kind of deal Trump can make is a weak one. A real true-blue tragedy. 🍿

She’s gonna have power over your employment; if you don’t trust her not to use that to fuck with you (and it sounds like you can’t), don’t go work there. You’ll be able to find a position elsewhere.

Looks like it is not:

Update: Sorry, but a commenter points out that this may just be an artifact of counting based on when most recently modified, not on original submission date.

Numbers using original, not most recent, submission dates

For 12/1 to 12/31 the numbers were
2022: 800
2023: 811
2024: 815
2025: 855

For 1/1 to 2/1
2022:510
2023:490
2024:501
2025:544
2026:617

For 2/1 to 2/15
2022:255
2023:221
2024:280
2025:276
2026:311

These do show significant increases year to year for the last couple months, but not the near doubling indicated by the other numbers. The hep-th arxiv apocalypse is not here yet.

My server auction went up by €0.94, from €31. I’m not mad; I probably would be if it had gone up by €9. Hetzner have been fantastic though, so a small increase like this after so long is not hard to swallow.

Generally. It’s an affliction.

So elegant! This is too valuable for GitHub, sell this directly to the Saudi government.
