I am losing my will to participate. The idiocy never stops. And when you clear it up, someone presses a button to make more nonsense.
And it only works for them because you care. The smart thing to do would be to stop caring.
So sad.

"The social contract. The relationship.
The thing that made open source maintenance joyful was that someone cared enough about your work to try to improve it. You mentored them. They learned. The code got better. The community grew. That's the social contract.
AI slop doesn't add work. It replaces human connection with mechanized noise."
@icing yeah. We are burning out maintainers faster than we can make new ones at an alarmingly fast rate now. We need a support group or something.
