okay, after not getting an answer for an hour on that, I'm officially worried. does anyone have an ACTIVE way to contact wolfman2000/"dance dad" (who used to be on GDQ streams) other than their discord? I strongly suspect their account has been stolen
EDIT: confirmed that it's stolen and confirmed that they're aware
Thank you @elly for hooking me up with a new coreboot build for an old thinkpad x220!!
She even created this amazing boot splash for me ๐คฃ

for what it's worth, I *do* think there is too much shit talking in free software, and I think it *has* harmed the mental health of maintainers in general. i don't know what to do about it though.
me: "so I switched to GrapheneOS to have better control of where my data is stored, specifically only syncing to my NAS at home"
my mom: "I did that when Trump got elected again"
(my mom is a highly technical person who maintains library management software)
EDIT: please don't use the comments to attack grapheneos or Daniel Micay, that's literally doing the thing they are accusing me and the postmarketos community of doing! We are better than that.
The post that motivated me to write this has been deleted, I would much rather live and let live
To Daniel and the rest of the grapheneOS team: I would very much like to clear this matter up, maybe a discussion with a neutral moderator present? I'm open to ideas. You can reach me via email: kcxt@postmarketos.org
I was 21 back when the events i described below happened, I'm not going to pretend I did nothing wrong, but I certainly didn't intend or expect for events to play out the way they did. If i'm forever marred with no opportunity for recourse then so be it, but I would rather avoid that outcome since it clearly hasn't gone great so far.
I want to be able to collaborate and lift each other up, GrapheneOS have done a lot of great work, their web flasher genuinely blew me away when i used it back in 2022. It directly inspired flash.postmarketos.org!

I've spent the last 3 years explicitly avoiding talking about GrapheneOS or Daniel Micay online because I assumed good faith after last time when he said my behavior (dunking on him on twitter) was deeply distressing to him.
I'm breaking my vow of silence cuz I'm feeling kinda gaslit right now, I'm pretty sure I don't deserve this shit
For those who missed my #Asahilinux #39c3 talk, it's available at https://media.ccc.de/v/39c3-asahi-linux-porting-linux-to-apple-silicon now.
I've also just pushed my slides to https://github.com/svenpeter42/39c3 and uploaded them as PDF to https://cfp.cccv.de/39c3/talk/YGHB9K/
For those not following, open-slopware, the repository dedicated to cataloging projects that use LLMs as development, was taken down today after the main organizer was harassed by Bluesky and Reddit pro-ai individuals. As such, development has been pretty fragmented today, but it has reconsolidated at https://codeberg.org/ai-alternatives/llm-afflicted-software.
No matter whether you like LLMs or not, I don't think harassment is ever the answer... for anything...
If youโre upset and trying to guilt people of color for rightfully pointing out that nobody gave a shit until it happened to a white lady, maybe sit down and shut the fuck up

It's been zero days since I lost time on a GH repo before realizing 'oh wait, this is slop, that's why none of this makes any sense' after 15 minutes.
Is there some nice community list/plugin that I could use to give me a big red border around repository pages of vibe coded garbeoleum?
I know about open-slopware, but that's not what I'm looking for - I want a baseline filter for obvious useless slop, not one where well established projects might fall into just because someone used an LLM once.
