I maintain several small open source projects. I sometimes use AI for my own PRs, especially ones that are almost mechanical but not quite. A great use for AI is "fix the new listing issues from this litter update."

I've been getting a moderate amount of AI slop PRs recently, though it has also coincided with a similar increase in PRs that are probably written by (or an least partially written by) AI but are actually useful. The ones I'd call "AI slop" tend to be huge, change a lot of tests, and may or may not even achieve their goal. A recent AI-written PR I got from an external first-time contributor fixed a bug by refactoring some code into a function, ending up with 4 calls to that function, of which 3 of the previous implementations had been correct and one had missed a step back in 2021. Net code added? 1 line, and only because it added a test.

The main problem is how much time I end up spending on these slop PRs. It can take a while to even describe why you're rejecting the change, though ironically AI has made this easier too.

HI MONGO!

I believe the common terms now are "domme" and "sub"

That's a left arm

He wants everyone to become prompt engineers sloperators.

I have mixed feelings here. I legitimately paid ($1, once, a decade ago) for a calculator app and feel it was a great value (I still prefer it to this day). But then again the free version was fine too and the one-time payment was essentially a donation to the developer for a great app that unlocked... Themes...

$700M in free buses means better access to jobs and services, which has tangible economic benefits and results in tax money coming back to the government.

I... Err... I mean bus bad car good!

Imagine if we had to move it around in such large quantities that there were thousands of kilometres of unwatched pipelines just out there, potentially leaking.

Because they know by doing that they can both get engagement and someone else to find the best quality version for them.

My city had ranked choice voting implemented by Democrats in the 1970s. They elected the first black mayor, who is still one of our most beloved mayors in the city's history, under RCV.

Then Republicans made it illegal at a state level when they had a trifecta. Democrats keep introducing bills at the state level to allow RCV, and Republicans take more and more drastic action against it. So yeah... I want more Democrats in my state government so we can have RCV.

Pretty amazing that years of effort from massive competitors like Epic and Microsoft haven't managed to crack this. I wonder what they're doing wrong?

(Ok I lied. I know exactly what they're doing wrong and there's zero chance of them changing.)

This is why I don't use vim. Can't spend all that mental energy on keybindings when I could spend it far more productively on KDE configuration options.

Meanwhile I'm here on Wayland because it does things that x11 doesn't.

The design is very human

Honestly, I'd rather have an ugly app with everything right there than the terrible UX trend that's happening of everything being hidden behind 8-10 different menus just to make the home screen "clean"

GPLv2 only says that people with access to the binary need access to the source code too. If they only used it internally they'd never have to make it public.
