#stopslop — Public Fediverse posts

One of my favorite books was tossed unceremoniously into the slopshredder.

Read the article, then go appreciate the original.

P.S. - This is someone squatting on a similar domain, and doing terrible things with the author's beautiful project.

Who's up for founding the "church of hand coding" with me, now that we have a precedent for religious exemptions from being forced to use ai tools?

We have been running Diane Skoll's remind for a few years now.

https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/

It's a really smart, lofi calendar tool.

Somewhere along the way, we discovered that a text file (or directory full of them) paired with something like syncthing solved most of the calendar sharing needs for #ThisOldClownHouse.

I was delighted to learn that the project now has a strong, well-worded stance against ai/llm/vibe/slop.

One of the things which encouraged me towards less "trendy" software is that it hasn't gotten totally caught up in ai-hype. Books written before the slop-pocalypse are really useful, and turn out to be a nice way to soothe my inner nerd while I continue to learn new (to me) things.

As an example, the venerable "Unix Power Tools" has a wonderful chapter on the vi editor:

https://docstore.mik.ua/orelly/unix/upt/part05.htm

Enjoy!

My tiny brain has yet to have been convinced that AI hype is a good thing for the environment, projects it gets foisted upon, creativity, or the human psyche.

Large language models on all corporate levels destroy everything around them.

I've done extensive research; it's so horrific that if crying about it would revert things I would have cried the Amazone river full.

LLMs as companions are bad news for the human Psyche. I have contact with a few victims of these LLMs who would rather {talk to} send strings to a mathematical model then speak to a real person. Serious pshychiatirc intervention is needed

I am going to find out also why massive projects, massive open source projects seem not to care about:

• the wasteland that those LLM driven data centers create
• the fact that we cannot buy
• memory
• ssds
• mechanical spinning hard drives
• full computing and household devices

... for nomal prices, because those critical components have been hijacked by data center underlords who can't even get enough permissions to build all those projects in reality

Part of it we all know, it's the LLM bubble, just like the house bubble in the USA some decades ago. Other part is that those underlords dont want us to owe our hardware anymore, so they can tighten their fascistic lock on the computing population.
Look how they want to force even open source OS to age gate the systems so they can get real ID globally

And I enjoy doing things the hard way

I've always done my projects from the bottom up, Linux when many sources needed to be crosscompiled in the alpha days from DOS, which was fun but tedious.
All current BSD flavours can be done that way too, if you still chose to do so, IIRC

Thank you for your enlightning response

I always ask similar questions like the following,

What will you do when you discover that the kernel of your favorite Operating System now gets programming assistance in any form of a power guzzling ocean warming large language model?

Will you fork the kernel yourself? Do you have the programming capability

There are a lot of folk who are pissed off at Linus Torvalds, for allowing some of his maintainers to use large language models to assist in finding bugs.

The Head Programmer of the fantastic and Beautiful curl also uses a large language model in some form, to hunt for bugs, because both he and Greg from the Linux kernel, saw that the LLM used on GitHub is now suddenly much better at finding those pesky bugs.

Mind you, the only LLM I like is the one that runs locally on my low powered Android phone. That's a micro LLM

Thanks in advance for your response

This project is both hope, a solution to a growing problem, and a way forward.

I'm hoping it picks up momentum quickly.

Last night, #RhinoRadio offered us some delightfully different music:

https://strategies.schallundstille.de/en/welcome/

This is Strategies Against Algorithms, which is an interesting experiment in sharing creativity amongst humans. It's only available offline, as a trade for a bit of your own creativity.

For our part, we sent some uncut prints from the #SunrisePottyDoor project. In return we received this wonderful booklet and wooden USB drive filled with lovely music.

Vim? Seriously?

Maybe I will try going backwards for an upgrade.

We made a ridiculous thing with our silly human brains, using our filthy human hands, in order to inspire our messy human hearts.

It is with strong encouragement, and a few simple rules, that we invite you to use your brains, hands, and hearts to play along with us.

@tommorris billionaires don't happen when everyone has access to inexpensive hardware and FOSS software that runs on low end spectrum gear.

They need every idiot to want RAM to have LED screens, and similar inane irrelevance,s so inflated prices can go high due to bloatware.

See also, cars. Or appliances. Nobody's toast need to be online. I want my espresso machine DUMB and inexpensive; add water, grounds, press button, coffee. No slop.

🤔 AI continuing to scrape the internet now contaminated with mis/disinformation Slop, looping around, copying and inventing more internet garbage until soon the web, the information highway, will become useless as a resource.

In the vein of #WeAintBuyingIt, remember to take the opportunity to get off of big tech platforms.

These big tech companies provide their services "for free" to you, because *you are the product*: you give them your data which they then profit off of, massively.

Consider switching to #kagi for search, news and AI, which is structured as Public Benefit Corporation and is making it a priority to #StopSlop

This can’t possibly be an original idea, but I made it for possible use on my own sites and so I thought I’d share (as in feel free to use it if you like).
