I want this but as a Linux distribution. I don't think I'm asking for much here. I am just asking for the "open source community" to be to the left of Goldman Sachs

@mcc what do you mean? in the Alpine sphere, @postmarketOS already adopted an anti-AI policy, which will probably be adopted by Alpine too.

@ariadne I am, in a flippant and general way, saying I want to eradicate all code with "AI code assistant" contributions from my computer and VPSes, but I do not currently know a way to do so. I keep having programs I previously installed add the poison after the fact without public notice. https://mastodon.social/@mcc/116110912928005524

Perhaps in future I will have to use Alpine Linux if that's how I get my code audited for no "AI" contributions.

@mcc @ariadne hmmm there’s probably some really awful way to hack this into NixOS if you want to compile your whole system

@luana @mcc @ariadne wouldn’t you have to have a database of packages that don’t contain LLM-written code? i don’t think it’s readily available

@mcc @luana @xarvos that is indeed the problem

@ariadne @mcc @xarvos that would be the pretty way. Another pretty way would be having nixpkgs maintainers add that info.

I said it was an awful way that would require full system building for a reason, I imagine it’s possible to override the default check phase or even the fetchers to check the downloaded src for .copilot and alike and fail if present.
