I read your Timeline on Mastodon and that was the first time you mentioned that the release was unintentional. Your responses here are also inspiring very little confidence.
All that I survey, I could easily destroy. From time to time, it is important to remind these small creatures of the true extent of my power.
anyways, there is possible mention of being a b8 release of this thing, which from what I heard is a big update and should fix most of the already existing bugs
Why in the hell is he still a moderator here anyway? It's clear he isn't trustworthy.
Όταν θα κοιτάς την θάλασσα Χωρίς να το θέλεις, θα βλέπεις εμένα Και τα μάτια σου θα ‘ναι θλιμμένα Όταν θα ξυπνάς στον ύπνο σου Χωρίς να το θέλεις, θα σκέφτεσαι εμένα Και θα νιώθεις μεγάλο κενό
right, I have no words, this is so south... Again I use the klango more because here there is always 1 thing, and it turns into the frickin next, and so to the on....
Wait, so now the argument is that the program was never meant to go public in the first place? Maybe I'm speaking out of ignorance here since I'm not a programmer, but if a project of mine were to be published without my approval, I wouldn't go out of my way to answer inquiries pertaining to it.

He will resign. I was strongly considering demoting him and I was talking to some people in private to determine if I was being rash or not. I was in the process of researching my own rules to see the procedure I put in place for removing mods, but he messaged me and informed me that he'd be resigning. BTW, turns out I could unilaterally remove a moderator if I wanted to. Now, he apparently wanted to resign for a while, due to a range of factors, chiefly my purported supporting of antisemitic commentary, but there were personal reasons he'll enumerate in his own time. Nevertheless, because he stole the satisfaction of writing up a big fancy announcement regarding his demotion from me, I'm still enumerating my reasons for wanting to demote him. First of all, I find this whole Klango thing highly immoral. I understand that reverse engineering has certain benefits attached to it; that's how we got things like Hearthstone Access and other accessibility mods, however those are, in my view, different. For starters, while the mods do involve modifying the games, the purpose is to allow the community who, hitherto never had the opportunity to, gain access and play the games on a mostly equal footing with our sighted counterparts. In other words, it's a genuine gain to the community, especially since many of these games have no alternatives in the audio game space. Additionally, these mods aren't infringing on the rights afforded to the companies behind these, as in many cases blind and visually impaired people are paying customers. Next, these are just mods. We aren't claiming a particular game as our own or cashing in on a name or IP just to drive attention or users. And I think this is the biggest one, and I understand things are different now, but I place significantly greater stock in the people who worked to reverse engineer these games so that we can have these mods by hand, rather than prompting Claude to do it. In my view that makes it infinitely scummier and more unethical to have the bot do so. It reduces the impact of a creater's work as just another prompt for the LLM rather than a complex piece of machinery which, if it should have to be disassembled, requires significant thought, effort and skill to achieve. This attempt at reviving Klango, I'm afraid, fails all of these tests. In my eyes this can only be nothing but unethical based on what I wrote above. This is theft, plain and simple. If you wanted to bring back Klango, you could have literally put the same effort into vibe coding a clone without the (apparently) significant number of bugs this shipped with. For many years, and even now, it was a common consensus in this community that creating a product with somebody else's source code, no matter if the project in question was abandoned or not was wrong, and something to denounce and condemn. However, for some peculiar reason, now that we've added vibe coding to the equation, those qualms have gone completely out the door. If we believe it wrong to clone TK, Redspot or Ultrapower, then it should be wrong, in fact more so, to quite literally rip apart someone's work and cloning it. The classic cloning of old was akin to an angry couple having a big argument, and the wife throwing out the man's belongings in a rubbish bag at the side of the road. As you pass by, your eyes catch on something shiny, and you decided to help yourself, deeming it to be little more than rubbish at the side of the road, hence, community property. In contrast, this new wave of vibe cloning is more akin to breaking in the house of a peaceful, loving couple while they sleep, and stealing everything they have. Uncool. We need to recognise this shit isn't right and stop continuing to endorse it. We need to stop allowing theft to go unpunished just because the software works fine. Theft is theft. Right is right, wrong is wrong. My next major issue is the apparent dishonesty. I looked at the forum, I looked at Mastodon, and I looked at this thread. At no point before Pajper's post 50 did Karmien say that this software wasn't meant to be published, and his behaviour seems to be the exact opposite. I can't see any reality where you decide to put in so much effort for something you never had any intention of seeing the light of day and, to top it off, you later admitted that you're working on another social media platform. That makes absolutely zero sense. Why would you also be working on a modern social media platform, but also working on a buggy archaic piece of software which has been superceded by, for example, Elten? Jonathan also came in and said that you sent out an email saying to share the news with your friend that restrictions were being removed. You didn't deny this but, you then gave a bizarre deflection that nobody in here, and I think, even you are retarded enough to buy. And then your responses in here only became more and more dismissive and unprofessional. It's not a good look at all. I wish you the best of luck with your project, and despite my growing list of issues with you, I want the best for you. I'm glad you realised that your position here is untenable and decided to pull back, unlike other people who previously held power in this community.

The only problem is that it would be worth finding a new moderator for that spot. There are only two moderators at the moment. One of them has been inactive for almost a year, so right now the moderators are you and Mathiu who's inactive.
Sygnatura to może być w sądzie. Sygnatura sprawy np. :P
A lot of things you said here are your personal feelings. But why are you misrepresenting me here? If you really red the topic, you would have red post 38 The english landingpage is indead made by claude since the release was completely unexpected (it literally happened while i was a sleep) and I just wanted to throw something together so people aren't confused really quick.
and even more telling, post 47 Also i am not particularely mad at atlonn or anyone else, as this is a trust thing. Why all of this seams a bit weird and i am the only dev is, as mentioned, this was never mend to become so big. I don't really mind it but it was never the plan. I am currently working on geting someone a board to help me with the klango code, and i will also soon start a moderation application for the community it self. Bot of these posts are, in fact, from september first and were in the fase were klango was completely blowing. I didn't use the word leaked, but i said already theree it was not mend to be released, which basically is the same thing. We can discuss about everything, but not about facts. Regarding if my own social network exists or not, i will put out a demo of it soon, how ever right now the client is german only. I will translate it first.
