Asta [AMP]oil capital can't help but pollute open source, huh. Gotta get those oily fingers into every fucking open source project, twould seem.
fuck it man, gonna make my own vim out of vendored copies of readline and ncurses
I did get a response on whether Helix has a policy re: LLM usage or not
https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/15408
I wouldn't call it encouraging because I don't agree that it's useful (nevermind ethical) but I wouldn't call it discouraging, either, because they're clearly aware that it can produce a lot of unhelpful, time wasting crap.

Policy on accepting PRs that include LLM generated code? · helix-editor helix · Discussion #15408
Hello! I've just been checking out Helix recently, and I quite enjoy what I've seen so far! It's fast, intuitive, ships a lot of nice defaults, and works well with what I've used it for thus far! I...
I haven't had the time or mental fortitude to construct a diplomatic reply that might encourage them to consider the ethical side that isn't just me ranting but if anyone wants to politely and gently nudge them towards considering the ethical drawbacks and license implications...
on the other hand, never a better time to greenfield the entire field of computing

lhp@aud I feel this so much. I can live without harfbuzz (the privilege of using a latin script to communicate), I can live without systemd and linux even if I liked them a lot. But mesa just doesn't seem replaceable. Most of my own things are wayland related, which now means the vast majority of code I have written in the last five years runs on a stack tainted by LLMs, which is quite upsetting since I don't wish to endorse that in any capacity.
@aud I am toying with the idea of just setting up a simple hypertext based UI system coupled to a lisp runtime running in a BSD framebuffer. Basically a shitty emacs that doesn't need a windowing system and ideally replaces the entire userland. If I can read/write mail with it and have a simple org-mode reimplementation then it would be a viable "lifeboat" out of the slop seas.
