Spent more time than I would like today getting frustrated and harried by #StackExchange petty tyrany.
I don't want to be any part of it any more, even posting questions infrequently as I always have done.
What are good alternative sites to get #Java #programming questions answered?
@bronger (Am looking forward to there being a #Fediverse version of #StackExchange, similar to the efforts to bring #Reddit-like functionality here with tools like #Lemmy and #Kbin.)
Thinking about all the times I've found posts on #StackExchange to be helpful but haven't clicked the upvote button.
I think at first I didn't have sufficient reputation to upvote, then later it just never occurred to me to do it since I wasn't interacting with the question, only reading it. But I wish I had.
Does anybody else have problems visiting the #Stackexchange sites? I get a closed loop of HTTP 301 (permanent redirects).

Stack Exchange knowledge is for everyone (and now available on Snowflake Marketplace).
Given the drastic overall decline of #StackExchange (https://blog.pragmaticengineer.com/stack-overflow-is-almost-dead/), this reads strange.
@stackoverflow.com surely wants to fade into oblivion. In >10 years using this site Iâve never experienced such hostility than in my latest two questions asked. (https://stackoverflow.com/q/79650530/188108)
If search results point me to it â fine. But I will never interact with the site again. Hello, @reddit, hello #AI-based Q&A tools.
Go the way of #Usenet, Stackexchange!

@BenjaminHCCarr Good news! Itâs good to hear that the oppressive technofeudal gate keeper (#StackExchange/ #StackOverflow) might stop jailing knowledge in #Cloudflareâs #walledGarden.
Note that they have taken a jab at #AnonymousOverflow in the past week:
Opening Vim While using Script causes Script to go Wild. Is there an environment variable that script sets that could prevent me from accidently opening vim while script is recording?

@elementary tl;dr I support your objectives, and kudos on the goal, but I think you should monitor this new policy for unexpected negative outcomes. I take about 9k characters to explain why, but Iâm not criticizing your intent.
While I am much more pragmatic about my stance on #aicoding this was previously a long-running issue of contention on the #StackExchange network that was never really effectively resolved outside of a few clearly egregious cases.
The triple-net is that when it comes to certain parts of softwareâthink of the SCO copyright trials over header files from a few decades backâin many cases, obvious code will be, wellâŚobvious. That âthe simplest thing that could possibly workâ was produced by an AI instead of a person is difficult to prove using existing tools, and false accusations of plagiarism have been a huge problem that has caused a number of people real #reputationalharm over the last couple of years.
That said, I donât disagree with the stance that #vibecoding is not worth the pixels that it takes up on a screen. From a more pragmatic standpoint, though, it may be more useful to address the underlying principle that #plagiarism is unacceptable from a community standards or copyright perspective rather than making it a tool-specific policy issue.
Iâm a firm believer that people have the right to run their community projects in whatever way best serves their community members. Iâm only pointing out the pragmatic issues of setting forth a policy where the likelihood of false positives is quite high, and the level of pragmatic enforceability may be quite low. That is something that could lead to reputational harm to people and the project, or to community in-fighting down the road, when the real policy youâre promoting (as I understand it) is just a fundamental expectation of âoriginal human contributionsâ to the project.
Because I work in #riskmanagement and #cybersecurity I see this a lot. This is an issue that comes up more often than you might think. Again, I fully support your objectives, but just wanted to offer an alternative viewpoint that your project might want to revisit down the road if the current policy doesnât achieve the results that youâre hoping for.
In the meantime, I certainly wish you every possible success! Youâre taking a #thoughtleadership stance on an important #AIgovernance policy issue that is important to society and to #FOSS right now. I think thatâs terrific!
