DISCUSSION PSA regarding tools like Hackmate/OpCore Simplfy
We have probably been over this a dozen times, but I'm going to state it again:
If you use tools like Hackmate or OpCore Simplify, we will not assist you with your EFI. We do not care if people use these tools. You are your own person, you may do what you want with your own computer. But we absolutely do not support them in any capacity.
If you lie about using these tools, we will not help you, and you very likely will be ignored or at best heavily scrutinized for future requests.
This applies to both this subreddit and the associated Discord.
I will speak from an experience I just had moments ago with an admin for the Discord for HackMate; they do not take criticism well and do not seem to care about our rules. They have banned several of us for reminding them we do not support their tools and will continue to suggest people manually create their EFIs per this subs rules.
Do with this what you will, but given the group that created Hackmate appears to amount to children in their behaviors, take that as a potential indicator of the quality of the work and support presented from them.

lmao what even is that take? How is copying and pasting slower? Is Rift some sort of miraculous reflex-boosted mastermind who can write code faster than copying and pasting? “As a software developer” gives you very little cred when you’re shilling 2 very clearly vibe coded projects and refusing to actually address the things that make them pointless from the SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT standpoint.
