   Took a look at the ‘open slopware’ list for the first time since it was pretty new and found it pretty depressing on multiple levels.

   Like on the one hand it obviously sucks that so much software is being affected by this to greater and lesser degrees.

   But also, it feels like the list relies on the least generous possible interpretations. Like, statements along the lines of ‘you can’t use AI to create anything; but I can’t control what you use it for privately’ are taken as condoning AI usage.

   I mean I get why you’d find it difficult to assume good faith given the state of software right now but it doesn’t feel healthy.

   That 'holding up the internet' post that was going around the other day finally prompted me to figure out how to disable scrolljacking.

   Apparently reduced-motion accessibility setting should do it, but that depends on the site actually implementing a reduced-motion version. I guess they forgot to ask Claude to build one for them.

   (Another reason to disable Javascript by default?)

   About ten years back I was walking in the city centre and across the road there was a small protest, I think about fur farming. And on my side of the road there was a middle-aged white guy loudly moaning about snowflakes.

   Mate you’re the one finding it impossible to ignore what other people say and do in public even when it doesn’t affect you at all. Mind your own business and pipe down, you’re embarrassing yourself.

   I’ve turned off all the “AI” nonsense that I can but there are still a bunch of places where it’s desperately begging to be used.

   Shortcuts. Now when you press edit it gives you a little LLM-generated description of what it does. I know what it does, I wrote it! (As far as I can tell that’s generated fresh each time, and there’s no way to skip it.)

   Photos. Now the first ‘memory’ is actually ‘type to create’. I don’t want a computer to create memories for me, thanks very much. (And did nobody stop and think about how that sounds?)
