Checked all little utilities, which I'm using in my daily computing, are they still good old programs or slopware?

I prefer to use little programs, which were created to please the needs of it's creator. And/or some folks which has the same needs. The process of such little program creation usually, if author in sane state of mind, doesn't mimick process of commercial software creation, where developers need to rush to "deliver features" to please management and investors. For now this leds to forcing developers to use LLMs on the workplace — all to "deliver features" faster. So one developer for the same price (salary) able to make more features. Profit!

So, when I see how opensource programmer uses LLM to create some opensource program — it is a red flag for me and I'll try to avoid using such program. Because it means to me that programmer doesn't like the process of creation. Like an artist who don't like to draw or photographer, who don't like to make photos. Also, (s)he possibly has a "corporate mindset" (deliver value and features faster, no fun allowed). So, looks like his/her creature is not a pet, but a cattle. When I prefer to use "pet"-programs — usually they are nicer, simpler and doesn't bring me a lot of problems.

Results are pretty good — only three programs are slopware now. These three programs, installed from repositories of my OS, have versions, when these programs were coded by humans.

Here they are:

1) rsync — version 3.4.1 is good, but the next versions will be slopware, since programming happens with Claude LLM.

2) ImageMagick7 — installed good version 7.1.2-15. But since 7.1.2-16 it become a slopware. LLM the same — Claude, was used in one commit.

3) python3 — installed version 3.11.15. Since 3.13.6, according to commits and release dates, it become a slopware too — there are some commits, where the same Claude LLM was used.

Me acaban de dar cuenta que existe https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware.

Un repositorio de #Codeberg que enlista servicios y cosas en general hechas con inteligencia artificial o permiten su uso.

Y me di cuenta que Hugo, el constructor de sitios que uso para administrar mi sitio web también está enlistado... Es lamentable...

También puedes colaborar al proyecto proveyendo evidencias para hacer la lista aún más grande.

Didn't read the news for a week (bc I was returned to office and prefer to sleep more) and reading it now:

— Vim became a LLM slop
— ntfy is a LLM slop now
— systemd is a LLM slop too

What a time to be asleep^Walive  

Looks like my passion to the old and simple solutions made a good thing for me. Time to throw the fuck away the ntfy from my server and use SMTP or XMPP for sending alerts to me.

P.S. Hope, the #Emacs itself willn't become a LLM slop oneday. Replacing it will not be so easy as with ntfy replacement.

Systemd going slopware is the least surprising thing tbh. From all the toxic corporate opensource sludge, systemd always pioneers the worst trends.

That's a funny one:

Important lesson. Don't engage with LLM fans. You get 884 word responses that seem to say "I'm still right; you're not getting it."

I know they didn't write those 800+ words. I don't see the point in reading something they didn't write.

It's hard to figure out what points they were actually trying to make.

I'm tempted to ask them to include the prompt they used, so I could see what they were trying to say.
