And yet, people think that current opensource licenses are working. We need something like PostOpen or FUTO licenses to force corporations to contribute or pay up.

I can only assume this problem was exacerbated by vibe coders.

I believe this statement was sparked from an AI authored CVE report for a video format specific to the old LucasArts games.

Like sure, its real but its hurting absolutely no one

I think that was separate, actually. Google also had an outage caused by them upgrading and not testing enough to notice that some config or command line parameter had been renamed, and they were hounding the bugtracker as if they had a 30 second SLA. Somehow them having an outage and not having the presence of mind to roll back the upgrade was supposed to be an emergency for an unpaid volunteer.

Service Level Agreement. It's when you have a contract requiring a certain level of service, like minimum 99.999% uptime or (in my example) a maximum 30 second response time on support requests.

This is something you typically get from an enterprise vendor (although 30 seconds is exaggerated) in return for paying them a lot of money. It's not something you can expect for free from volunteers.

Whoa, that does sound expensive!

If I had a project as succesfull as this, I'd definitely try to sneak in minor inconveniences like renaming parameters just to screw with them.

"Vibe" coders produce code though, right? This is about analysis and issue reports. They didn't produce code.

[-] finitebanjo@piefed.world 1 points 1 month ago

Bad analysis and issue reports will increase as improper code utilizes it elsewhere.

leeches, nothing else can really describe these companies

I believe that if a company is a large corporation, it should provide financial support and take responsibility for large-scale bug reporting.

I'm on the Internet too much because that first word there looked like a very specific fetish
