I feel for the maintaners. There is a push and pull here on OSS.

However, I have made the choice to remove all my repos from the internet and self host in the face of LLM spam.

Because Im not dependent on PRs from randos this doesnt really matter to me. I think at some point OSS repos are going to have to come to grips with the reality of hosting on github or any public git host.

And go underground. Or decide whether the juice is any longer worth the squeeze. In my mind its not unless its off the internet. You may skate today, tomorrow you are completely screwed.


Slop PRs are just spam, we learned to deal with spam on email, we'll learn to deal with this as well.

Fwiw, I don't think it's an "AI" problem, is a knowledge and respect problem from the people that have their agents dump code on FOSS projects.


Email spam takes at least an order of magnitude less effort to identify.


Wow, that does sound like a serious hardship for someone who lets Claude write all their code for them.

Creating a folder for some files. Dude, maybe you should file for disability for repetetive stress disorder for "double clicking" or even single clicking twice.

This aggression will not STAND man!

We need computers to go back to pencil and paper but STILL be computers! But not operated by me? Wierd operated by a fake bot me? Wait! thats malware! Wha?


Look. Guys (?)

If cloudflare wants to be the next "Megaupload" what business is it of yours?

There is a guy named kim DOT com. That is actually fucking cool. Whether or not he himself is actually cool. Or in prison.


And thats why noone should learn to code.
