#TheCrimeCats say the logical conclusion of copyrighted seeds and intellectual property crops and inflated grocery prices is to police the hobbyist and community garden. bet on it.

#Gentoo is still one of the bright outposts in #FLOSS where human work is valued and #LLM contributions are banned. However, sometimes I feel that this matters very little.
After all, Gentoo is a distribution. While it has its own value, it cannot exist without all the software it is shipping. It makes no sense in isolation.
And let's be honest, I don't think you can avoid slop today. We are trying our best to sieve out the worst: the copywashing chardet, the vibecoded NIH Perl crypto packages… but it's just that.
As someone who bumps Python packages, let me tell you this: LLMs are omnipresent. I notice Claude in commit logs, I notice the blasphemy of agent instructions all over the place… and there's probably much more than I don't notice. With many core components giving in, you can't avoid it without literally freezing on old, vulnerable versions, or spending hours looking for alternatives or creating them.
FLOSS is dead. People don't care. They don't have conscience. All they care about is the sick idea of "productivity", i.e. generating more slop.
The few of us who do care can do very little. We will continue doing our best until they kill us (as they're literally slowly killing the whole humankind). But that's it. Maybe it will pass once the bubble pops, maybe it won't. Either way, the damage is beyond repair. We will never be able to trust one another like we did. We will never again be a community building a better world.
It's just like everything nowadays. It's hard to find a good washing machine (one that will actually be repairable), good shoes (that won't fall apart shortly after the warranty expires), good food. You need lots of money, and even then you have to sieve through all the scammers who just sell the same shit with higher profit margin. #OpenSource is just another branch of business where people are trying to "sell" you shit, and don't care anymore if it explodes in your face. They don't even care if they're actually making a profit.
What is a company like #Meta to do when it notices that 10% of it's income comes from advertising scams, illegal gambling & products?
ENCOURAGE IT & RAISE THE PRICES FOR THE CRIMINALS - OF COURSE!
Sadly the good times eventually had to end:
The Consumer Federation of America is going after Meta for it now!

The Consumer Federation of America (CFA), on behalf of itself and a proposed class of D.C. Facebook users, has filed a class action complaint and jury trial demand against Meta Platforms, Inc (Meta) for failing to protect users from scam advertisements
