Should /c/opensource allow AI / slop-coded project posts, or remove them?

Depends on the definition. If we go by the definition a lot of users here seem to have, Linux itself would no longer be considered a FOSS project, which imo is completely ridiculous.

If we're talking about literally vibe coded from the ground up projects where the devs don't even know what the code inside looks like, yes maybe it should be removed or given a post tag once we have the feature.

Personally I prefer to keep a discussion going even with heavy AI coded projects, we're living in interesting times and I am convinced to keep an open mind about what engineering will look like going forward and what doors it might open for the FOSS community despite its flaws and negatives.

I predict by the year 2000, 99% of all Assembly will be written by compilers

Only that the compiler works in a defined algorithmic way that can always be expected to work, at worst it uses more cpu registers than needed or something. AI on the other hand just spews garbage in a fundamentally statistical way and despite the enormous efforts to create tools that manipulate it into working more predictably, it still sucks so much of the time.

Another difference is that you are critically thinking when "instructing" a compiler via the code, but you only convince yourself that you think critically when you're instructing an AI, it's not the same and it actively makes you a worse engineer every time you decide to use it instead of thinking.

Who is the opposition leader?

Rid yourself of the notion that democracy lies in political parties fighting each other where you get to vote on them, and you will realize that all capitalist democracies are just elaborate dictatorships disguising themselves every 4 or so years.

This "democracy" is exactly the kind of system that brought Trump to power with a useless "opposition" party that is comfortably looking away while Trump does all the dirty work that they would also like to have done if it didn't ruin their facade.

The only real opposition can come from the people themselves.

Systemd preparing to comply with age verification laws

Wow that's an insane level of bootlicking, it was completely free for them to do absolutely nothing about this nonsense law and give the middle finger if asked by the US

I didn't care before but it turns out the systemd haters were on to something for a long time, fuck these owners for even considering this and even locking the PR to avoid valid criticism, I hope all the contributors create a fork, jump ship and never let the previous owners commit a single line of code to it

-1 Fedi Social Credit

really putting the 'fed' in 'piefed'

It's also very interesting how someone who seems to really dislike a country they don't live in having what they claim to be a social credit system, are the ones who actually implement the fucking thing in their own software
