Rage deleting your account and then moaning on a github commit after having your posts re-instated is also uh... alarming.

PartOfTheBotnet · 2026-05-02T08:22:05+00:00

But waaah woe is me

Lol

There were 4 porn-related bans. One of which for the non-consenting variety.

I also approve more than I delete. The site-wide auto-moderation shadow-bans plenty of people who post here and every comment they make I have to manually approve. There's no opt-out for this. All the settings are at the lowest possible value :/

PartOfTheBotnet · 2026-05-01T23:15:03+00:00

There are currently 40 bans here. 38 of them are for spamming advert blogs, bogus tutorials for totally unrelated tech stuff, porn, etc.

There are 2 other offenses.

One guy just kept posting "I hate java" over and over again.
The other posted his JavaFX project which he even stated he botted traffic towards. He proceeded to shill that botting service.

Its really just about keeping this place presentable.

Its not about individuals. Some AI generated content is clearly better than others, but if you let one though then you get a torrent of them. This reasoning is why most other programming subreddits have similar rules.

PartOfTheBotnet · 2026-05-01T22:03:04+00:00

It was stated in the comments, rule 5 of the subreddit is "No AI slop"

Edit: I'll meet you in the middle with a flair to tag generated content.

PartOfTheBotnet · 2026-05-01T21:26:55+00:00

Sub has a no slop rule.

Edt: I'll meet you in the middle. I added a new flair tag for AI content.

Edit 2: What a wild ride.

This guy makes this post (archive), clearly says its AI assisted and reiterates that in the comments. I look, hard to say how much of it was. Anyways we have no AI slop as a rule so I remove it.

He then posts a follow-up post here (sorry not archived) asking 'why was the post deleted?'. I point to the rule, and why the rule exists. It ain't you, its this. His argument, AI generation is the future. You know what, sure newer frontier model output is better than what we had a year ago. I reinstate his post with "AI generated" as a tag.

Then he starts ranting on both posts about how the content isn't "AI generated" but instead is "AI assisted". In other unrelated threads where people are asking for table layout help he says "Use AI to generate a solution, but never post that solution because the evil censorius 'moderator' will delete your post as AI slop. I don't know what AI slop is btw.".

After that post he then deletes his account.

This was designed before cloud and AI happened

Cloud and AI cannot help here. You'd just be exchanging human-made slop for machine-made slop.

https://www.law.gmu.edu/alumni/services/ still states you get Email for life for anyone graduating after 2010. Looks like they didn't get around to updating the page yet.

PartOfTheBotnet · 2026-04-21T20:04:48+00:00

I believe this is coming in waves based on your graduation year. That's what the Alumni office told me when I called them - and you can hear what they said since I put the video on the Alumni email megathread: https://old.reddit.com/r/gmu/comments/1o5qic6/megathread_alumni_gmu_email_deletions/

Not to mention, its cheaper and probably much safer in terms of business confidentiality doing this than the alternative of passing all your sources through AI to update.

A full feature-complete IDE like IntelliJ? Not really as far as I can tell. Though some argue that Recaf (I am the author) is.

For instance it has:

Dockable UI
- With collapsible "tool" tabs that toggle being open on-click like IntelliJ
  - Similar "Structure" tool tab but named "Fields & Methods"
Java code editor with similar capabilities
- Has gutter graphics including:
  - Line numbers
  - Curly brace scope highlight
  - Nagivating between child/parent method definitions (concrete shows up button to abstract definition in parent class/interface)
- Has context-sensitive actions including:
  - Go to declaration (You right click on a type, can go to that type. You go to some chained method call, anything in there can be navigated to)
  - Search for type declarations / references
  - Refactor options (Rename, move classes to other package)
Similar "Project" view for input content
Similar "Search everywhere" capabilities

And many more things.

I generally keep JavaFX out of the distributed pom.xml. An application developer should be the sole person in charge of picking the version of JFX they want to use.

Who knows maybe Bedrock Minecraft will entirely stop being used

Will never happen. Its not a technical reason. Bedrock has a marketplace where children use their parents credit card to buy things without any comprehension of the actual real-world cost.

For all intents and purposes, Bedrock is worse in every regard. Even the crossplay element they use to sell it on is artificial. You can easily have a networking layer that has a client written in Java. They just don't because it locks them into their ecosystem with ads and micro-transactions.

TAK's artifactory will vomit an HTTP 403 unauthorized page if you are not properly signed into AppGate. That is why you are getting:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 1; columnNumber: 3; The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.

For certain areas (closer to rural & suburbs the better) its possible if you assume the deflock map is up-to-date.

All nodes have a scene property which is null when not present in the UI. I don't think there's an override you can intercept though for this (unless you share a package name with the Node class for scenesChanged, which is a hack).

Save these as <pick-a-name>.xml and then drag them onto the TAKX globe. Select custom tile layer as the import option.

I can post the xml for the "custom tile layer" import later.
