Absolutely. This is the fastest way to get yourself banned from one of my communities.
I don't mind if you're using AI when contributing to OSS. In fact, I prefer that you do! HOWEVER Please don't just forward messages between me and your Claude. I have my own Claude I can talk to. I don't want to talk to your Claude. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Seeing this I realized if I were 10-20 miles west I’d have seen it passing just over Orion. A ship on fire off the shoulder of Orion. A small fragment of Roy Batty’s final words made real.

After nearly two years of waiting for @IloveRockchip to fix their FFmpeg copyright violation, one of the FFmpeg developers acted. Thousands of lines of code were copied from FFmpeg.

Hey @IloveRockchip, blatantly copy and pasting FFmpeg code into your driver and changing the licence in violation of the LGPL is not cool: github.com/rockchip-linux/mp…

The bitterly ironic truth is that "hate has no place in the spaceflight community" is exactly the weapon that was used to deplatform the channel.
Update on Our Current Situation As some of you may have seen already, WAI has been removed from YouTube. Someone out there wants us to go down. To that someone I’d like to reply: You will not succeed. You will not win and we will prevail stronger and more motivated than ever before to spread the word about spaceflight and the greatest transformation in human history. I’m collaborating closely with @TeamYouTube right now to uncover what went wrong and restore our channel as quickly as possible. This serves as a poignant reminder that hate has no place in the spaceflight community. Those who spread negativity or target creators across platforms should be firmly excluded from our shared spaces. By allowing hate to take root, we risk causing real harm to everyone involved. I started this channel because I was and am enthusiastic and hopeful about a better future for humanity. This motivation is what carried the entire team for six years, and guess what! We’re not done yet! šŸ”„ A heartfelt thank you to all of you for the overwhelming wave of support pouring in through emails and DM’s. The entire WAI team is truly grateful. You truly are the most incredible community out there! I’ll keep everyone posted on our progress. Love, Felix & Team ā¤ļø

My favorite programming burn is Bjarne Stroustrup was once (supposedly) asked what he thought of Java. He said he doesn’t like to be negative about C Applications.

Hey @AMD this would be rad.
lol if only it were this easy to get AMD to send me one of their workstation GPUs so I could test it on a Pi.
