From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

  • Search for a torrent in multiple categories

  • Check out top 100 torrents in a category

No A.I. was used for the development of this project.

That should be at the top.

As someone who had lots of projects being flagged as "AI-made"...? OP is being smart of not making it the first thing to be read -- folks tend to "enjoy" overreacting way too much nowadays.

[–] urushitan@kakera.kintsugi.moe 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ironically more people will likely read through the feature list at least because they are only there to hunt for AI Disclosure and post their rage but now otherwise have to actually know what the project does first and that it was not created with the use of AI second, so they can ignore it and move on, which may be the very reason for OPs comments and all those upvotes to begin with.

Granted it’s a double edged sword because there are also people who are genuinely interested in most new projects but want to quickly pass on something if AI is involved.

You've got a point there. Even if my approach of "Hey, you are free to think whatever you want about my project" has led me towards more "haters" than otherwise. But eh.

[–] urushitan@kakera.kintsugi.moe 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yup, the whole point of AI disclosure is that people can skip a project and move on, but some people get off on being vitriolic so they take that as an invitation to post a shitty comment like "lol I'll pass on the slop" instead of anything constructive. Constructive criticism on my open source stuff is welcome, but certainly not unhelpful comments like that

Honestly at this point it feels like anyone who just wants to pass on AI is also calm enough and enough of an adult to read the documentation and get to the disclaimer naturally. While the man children who just want to screech and yell about ai this and ai that. Can fuck off and we should do everything in our power to not make their life easy.

There is nuance to this whole ai problem, and those who just want to spew their vitriol are also too childish to understand the nuance and thus aren't worth catering to.

Would you mind using tput for the color definitions instead of fixed strings? Makes it a bit more portable.

[–] christos@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Please elaborate

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Well, there was the problem back then, that different terminals used different escape sequences, so tput was made as wrapper. Doesn't matter as much anymore, since most (but not all) emulators use the same-isch terminals and interface painting has mostly moved to GUI. But it's still something of a good manners thing.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Basically

yellow="$(tput setaf 3)"
blue="$(tput setaf 4)"
bluebg="$(tput setab 4)"

Also has the advantage of the variables being empty instead of printing sequences, if the terminal doesn't support colors.

Perhaps a bit out of topic, but since we're talking about torrent search...

Doesn't bittorrent have a more agnostic torrent search?
