I wish I could switch to a completely slop-free editor without compromising my workflow too much.

Helix would be a great alternative: Its mappings seem a bit more consistent than Vim’s, also it has Tree-sitter, LSP and fuzzy pickers already built-in. But it lacks some features (digraphs, extensibility, folding – in that order).

I also had a look at Kakoune, which also seems alright, but I don’t like that tabs and splits are delegated to the terminal emulator, a multiplexer or window manager. I respect that decision, but I’d prefer that feature to be built-in.

For now, I’ll stick to Neovim. At least they have a policy that makes LLM users check and sanitise the generated code (https://github.com/neovim/neovim/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#ai-assisted-work), although I’d prefer if they’d outright ban it.

Good, I was unaware this was even a thing but the world is better off without it. Self identified incel nazis on suicide watch lol https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/901293/openai-adult-mode-erotic-chatbot-shelved-indefinitely #AI #slopocalypse

No way; I’m looking at a 4TB external SSD I bought 2 years ago for like 237 USD on sale right now for a “discount” at 749 USD, regular price 799! Is it really that bad out there? Is the storage situation really this abysmal that prices have become this inflated? #technology #slopocalypse #ssd

Damn, nixos also essentially based on systemd

The #slopocalypse is the result of the gamification of the OSS development. It just feels good to land a PR, especially on a popular repo. Combine that with the ughm less experienced devs' proneness to overestimate their achievements, and the ease to half-bake something that looks plausible enough, and you get the explosion of low-quality slop. Something similar happened to, say, youtube or facebook, but there there was at least some financial incentive
🔔 BREAKING: #Jazzband is finally bowing out after a decade-long jam session where everyone got to play maestro 🎺. Apparently, a "slopocalypse" struck, and now they're scrambling to hand off the baton by 2026. Ah, the sweet sound of disorganized chaos in open source #management 🎷.

@volt4ire because of the #slopocalypse it looks like a good way

Hey, Google...

Where's the "No. Fuck off." button?

Apparently this is a new daily pop-up I get to dismiss when doing searches with my Android phone...
