Well, that's depressing. :(

List of #FOSS projects using #slop (yes, including the Linux kernel and of COURSE systemd)

open-slopware

Free/Open Source Software tainted by LLM developers/developed by genAI boosters, along with alternatives. Fork of the repo by @gen-ai-transparency after its deletion.

Oh, good thing the repo was forked before being deleted/made inaccessible.

Everything else is unalloyed badness. The list is practically a who's who of free software. There's a lot of packages I won't be updating again ever. Fuck this noise.

@angelastella

I'm not as zealous as some who are putting stops on their updates.
I'll switch to forks as they become available.
I'm going to ride out this garbage the same way I rode out NFTs, CryptoScams, and various #CompSci helltrends. :/

Lord, I hate this timeline.

@rl_dane

Yes, that's important: we must encourage people to fork. Lots of competent programmers would gladly quit their day jobs if someone paid them to maintain important software free from slop. We need nonprofits, foundations, governments even, to fund that work.

Just thinking aloud. But it bears considering.
