honestly the thing that makes me walk from alpine might not even be the LLM debate, the governance issues, etc
it might be the fact that i can no longer properly maintain my packages in alpine because the gitlab is being DoSed by AI scrapers
seriously, i have been trying to git pull *for 30+ minutes now*
the other day i caught one of these AI companies downloading the same pkgconf tarball over and over and over and over again
thank goodness that my colocation provider gives me a rather absurdly generous bandwidth allowance...

Christopher Snowhill@9pfs @ariadne One of the things I'd heard about some of these chatbot harnesses is that when directed to touch a project you don't have locally, they'll point themselves at the HTTP endpoint for a Git repository, and fetch individual files, one at a time, with an absurd amount of headers with each request.
