Lol, even the open source LLM projects are banning vibe coded contributions: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/AGENTS.md
They had previously had a policy of "all AI assisted contributions need to be human reviewed before submitting them", but got too many people breaking that rule and submitting fully vibe coded contributions, and even trying to use their chatbots to answer questions about the PRs, so are now actively using the AGENTS.md file to instruct the chatbots to not write code for them and warn them about the policy.

If you develop for #linux please make offline installation possible, for people in countries with restricted internet. Came back home last night and today I want to install Luminance HDR but their only option for linux is via the terminal, and yet, while I can access full internet on my phone using a VPN, I can't access any on my laptop/workstations, so I can't install this program, unless I use Wine.

I played around with some tools doing speech-to-text, but what I'm trying to figure out is, if "make sure rusticl/OpenCL works everywhere" if that actually also helps folks with disabilities.
And I'd happily focus my testing on making sure those things do work everywhere.
