Following what I said in a thread days ago, I repurposed an old Codeberg org I never used.

Introducing Project Anchorage. A (soon-to-be proper) group of users who aim to take back computing from the slop machines and sloperators.

The current goal to, over time, make a non-slop stack. An OS, apps, etc. However, to enforce this, I plan to only let people with a history of resisting/not using AI in.

First issue discussing the initials

Bootloaders/protocols, other architectures and languages

Currently, I would focus on x86(_64) as it's the most supported in general and a majority of people would daily drive x86 systems. Later on we could do RISC-V or ARM. I plan to stick to C and architecture-dependent assembly for almost all of this. Zig and Rust use LLVM which has devolved into slo...

Also, on a related note, Project Anchorage is open to adding people on who have a history of opposing AI and writing non-AI code.

If you want to be added to the org, just let me know.

I do want to call the OS/userland Echinops as well in the future once Echium is stable enough.

I kind of want to give Project Anchorage a fedi account but I dunno where. mastodon.social is totally out of the question honestly, I wouldn't put it here at all.

I have made a new commit in Echium, bringing in a stable Limine base from limine-c-template and implemented Flanterm!

Everyone, I apologise profusely. Limine contains AI slop introduced by the creator.

The commit mentioned there has been reverted and force-pushed away out of master.

Meanwhile, I've made a PR for Limine in open-slopware. https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware/pulls/263

#FuckAI

Add Limine

The creator of Limine has started to allow AI slop into the codebase from Claude. They've also been pretty for genAI in the "Low Level / Assembly" Fluxer server in the #off-topic channel, although I'm not really wanting to upload those as this commit is enough proof. I must also mention, there...

@mrmasterkeyboard O_O
that was a damn close call...
opening a issue to ban ai contributions NOW
we cannot lose this bootloader, efi boot stubs are a fucking pain :(
(systemd-boot is just...bleh, and grub is dated & bloated)

@mrmasterkeyboard wait hold on.
what about rEFInd?

@thing I'm not even going to begin to fuck with that. Nothing directly compares with Limine at all. Limine made it easier and now we're losing it.

@mrmasterkeyboard I'm aware. but having a fallback is always good.

@thing If Limine doesn't back down from AI, I'm going to fork their org repos under Project Anchorage. I swear to god, I will revert back to fucking v8.x if I have to.
Show threadNerdNextDoor Apr 2
@thing actually though, I don't think the creator will ban AI tbh.

Welp, nice. Now we know that Limine accepts AI and the creator is in favour of it, including one of the people in charge of the OSDev and Low Level / Assembly community on Fluxer who reacted with a thumbs up.

Fuck AI.

cc @gryphonmyers if you want to add Limine to the dirty list

Update, the creator of #Limine couldn't give a fuck about a point raised by someone else.

A user said:
"Just to clarify: you seem to have read the README, which means you are aware of every concern listed in Why not LLMs? and yet apparently have no issue with that, seeing contribution to unemployment and ongoing wars as an honor?"

The creator replied with:
"lol"

Everyone should stop using Limine, the creator doesn't care about the atrocities committed with AI.
