<p>There is a lot of demand for AI denial, but nearly everybody who is capable of writing even semi-coherently on the topic recognizes AI denial in general as cope, and has too much moral dignity to propogate their coping denial for personal gain.<p>So the ~one guy who doesn't gets around.</p>

<p>I can't recall which, but I'm certain that I've encountered and probably used Codeberg-hosted things, and from that had gathered a vague positive impression of them.<p>I guess what I'm worried about is that the proprietors of those nice projects I liked (and others) might have chosen Codeberg out of a reasonable set of common assumptions that it was a place for free-as-in-freedom, as they and clearly many of us have always understood it, which were not contradicted by how Codeberg presented themselves up-front.  And have now had this sprung on them, after they'd already established themselves there, and might now be facing a miserable and sapping moral dilemma, or even be directly doubting the security of their home there.</p>

<p>I understand why he might not want to and hope I would have the character to do similarly in his place, but they should really lead with "by Zach Barth" rather than "from the original Zachtronics team", which still sounds great, but tbh at least for me bumped it from "buy and play immediately" to "wishlist".<p>From other comments in this thread, it seems I am not the only one who misinterpreted that as not including Zach himself</p>

<p>Without specifically looking into it but just going off of Steam releases and headline, I'd assumed Zachtronics closing was Zach Barth leaving the scene, and the company that made Kaizen etc were some of his former colleagues continuing on without him.<p>But apparently the Kaizen-making company is still Zach Barth?<p>So what was Zachtronics closing then? Him changing his mind and coming back a year later? Why throw away the brand? As cringingly shallow as that sentence was to type, a new "Zachtronics" game was a reflexive auto-buy for many people.</p>

<p>There is an <i>enormous</i> amount of stuff that is <i>only</i> on archive.today, including stuff that is otherwise gone forever.  A mix of stuff that somebody only ever did archive.today on and not archive.org, and stuff that <i>could</i> only be archived on archive.today because archive.org fails on it.<p>Anything on twitter post-login-wall for one.  A million only-semi-paywalled news articles for others.  But mainly an unfathomably long tail.<p>It was extremely distressing when the admin started(?) behaving badly for this reason.  That others are starting to react this way to it is understandable.  What a stupid tragedy.</p>

<p>I don't deny that it is beneficial (it clearly is, in my direct experience as well): I doubt that it is the highest determinant of quality, and suspect that even more basic properties like thickness have been systematically neglected and may be more consequential.</p>

<p>There is a dry pasta I use that, long story short, comes without a listed cooking time, whose correct cooking time I have experimentally determined to be ~18 minutes (though remarkably flexible, good at a much wider range than "normal").  I like it quite a lot (even though it seems to have the teflon-die surface rather than the bronze-die surface).<p>I think greater pasta thickness is underexplored, and the teflon-vs-bronze die thing as the highest determinant of pasta quality, while not nothing, is slightly-overstated r*dditry.</p>
