  RE: https://mastodon.social/@nicklockwood/117069670583842298 it's all sludge.

  RE: https://mastodon.com.pl/@tragivictoria/116997594169215204 as a social experiment someone should fork GNOME OS and automerge every vibed PR. then release a monthly .iso for people to use. see how it works out. 🙃

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@404mediaco/116986805020926545 publishing slop is essentially doing pollution.

  RE: https://floss.social/@gnome/116985931062911189 I never knew I needed a counting app and this one is beautiful.

  we all laugh about the vanity metrics on GitHub, but if that’s what’s keeping people there, I’d implement star import first thing. “2k stars*” *imported from GitHub on X date. “48 collaborators” “32 forks” it’s not meaningless…

  I think it's overdue for #Flathub to start charging for app submission reviews. or charge app publishers $5/month. then hire 3 full-time reviewers with the money.

  some people should really look up the definition of knee-jerk reaction. tip: it's not a movement going on for months/years of time.

  RE: https://cosocial.ca/@hub/116947697243793933 seeing stuff like this makes me realise companies that have an impact for good are an accident. a glitch in the matrix. something that will get sorted out sooner or later.

  gnome.org, guadec.org, and planet.gnome.org should all have a big red banner at the top with “GUADEC LIVE NOW”. the stream is well hidden… #guadec #gnome

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@AlexanderVanhee/116835422383823627 yay for snappy starts! what if we had a special day of the month where we all looked at stuff like this?

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@jimmac/116696980468008186 it never ends! kind of happy about this though. there’s a steady stream of new apps being supplied. have witnessed the Linux app draught before.

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@bagder/116554421875449945 I got it right in the poll! 😂 sometimes it’s hard to stay sane and not go with the hype. it’s a constant self doubt. just keep creating stuff people!

  I remember my first serious job in tech as a designer at Intel (I was such a baby), and @iain was always joking about "bespoke hipster software" and "digital artisans". now I'm seriously thinking picking up those words unironically...

  RE: https://social.vivaldi.net/@everton137/116613317111584835 “but all companies bad!!1” yes, big companies do a lot of things. some good, some bad. yes, “piracy” exists. but LLM pushers are unique in their ability to destroy culture by twiddling at this speed and scale.

  RE: https://sfba.social/@cowperthwait/116501954219923871 credit to Blender for actually responding to the concerns and taking action. all that without saying “we hear you” once.

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@kolunmi/116493957086932351 Bazaar is probably the best app store I've used, including all the corporate ones. if you can, help them out a little bit. 👇

  RE: https://toot.yosh.is/@yosh/116487778402803336 it makes it worse actually. I have even less sympathy now. just like when people were (and still are) complaining about slop PRs, they just won't address the elephant in the room.

  #GitHub going for that 67% uptime.

  software rots pretty fast actually… it’s not like fresh fruit, but more like a can of food with a Best Before date.

  nice! been creating the ~/Projects folder since forever. curious what the folder emblem will look like. :) https://blog.tenstral.net/2026/04/hello-projects-directory.html

  already got the first app icon request for a slop project. despite the checkbox… get some self-awareness people. if you don’t put in the effort I won’t either. 😡

  my guilty pleasure these days is checking AI slop submissions to #Flathub. there are about 2–3 each day! most are easily dismissed because the LLMs cannot follow simple instructions and remove the PR template. https://github.com/flathub/flathub/pulls?q=is%3Apr+label%3A%22AI+Slop%22+is%3Aclosed
