OK, so, the open-slopware repo is… not friendly towards low-spoon contributors. Open only one issue per software, but, no, open a PR, not an issue, do these tags (the most important tag “contains slop commits” is missing!), etc. and I just… cannot be arsed to invest two hours or so for this. I don’t have either the time or the spoons… nor the eyes, I’ve had more than a full workday already.

So, is there someone willing to proxy my addition requests into PRs they will accept? (Ideally, someone who is also versed in contributing there.)

Additions I’ve queued up so far:

#Codeberg #OpenSlopware #PRForMe

@1password So, the 1password backend now operates on AI generated code which is known to introduce security vulnerabilities. You are aiming for a LastPass type of incident? Seems like I have to evaluate a new password manager…

FWIW, I'm planning on continuing to maintain my fork of codeberg.org/gen-ai-transparency/open-slopware (now defunct), and will be accepting PRs. Can't let a good idea die because of loud-mouth slop peddlers.

For now it's going to live here: codeberg.org/hausgeist/open-slopware

For those not following, open-slopware, the repository dedicated to cataloging projects that use LLMs as development, was taken down today after the main organizer was harassed by Bluesky and Reddit pro-ai individuals. As such, development has been pretty fragmented today, but it has reconsolidated at https://codeberg.org/ai-alternatives/llm-afflicted-software.

No matter whether you like LLMs or not, I don't think harassment is ever the answer... for anything...
