  “at least partially vibecoded” meanwhile the github repo itself says the entire thing was

  hard pass

  I’ve been using Amethyst and have been loving it. It have a very similar interface to MO2

    Wow, can this install multiple mods from nexus automatically?

    • Canadian_Cabinet@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Exactly the same as MO2. Its great. It can even do collections I believe

  It has an public codebase, so you can review the code yourself if inclined.

    Sure, we could

    • Parse the code that the owner likely doesn’t fully understand
    • Figure out the application logic
    • Check the logic for anything that might cause unwanted side-effects
    • Check the logic for malware behaviour
    • Run tests (and review the test code because it’s also likely vibe coded)
    • Pray and beg that everything works
    • Repeat for the diff every time the software needs to be updated

    Or we could warn others that the code and its owner should not be trusted.

      Especially because it is vibe coded. I wouldn’t even do this with every application on every update for a software that is written by good humans. At most for a single application I fall in love with.

      Damn, was actually looking forward to trying this.

      the owner couldn’t be assed to either write the code

      If you’re so happy making demand to others: Why can’t you “be assed” make a better alternative?

      If anything is super toxic attitude among open source consumers like you is demanding work of unpaid volunteers as if you were a paying customer.

      I’m not defending LLM generated code but your attitude is the worst.

  Good idea, but not worth the risks

  Reminder that much new code in all major operating systems is vibe coded these days. Linus Torvalds explicitly permitted LLM code in the kernel several months ago.
