2025, me:
The world (of IT) is broken but here are budding alternatives.
Use Linux. Use Nextcloud. Go to CCC.
Little did I know.

@quincy what up with CCC?
This is a call to action, by the way, not an idle lament. We can do better.
Yes, still.
Everywhere.
I think if we're organized, pro-sloppers will have a harder time transforming everything into slop.
I *hope* my fears are overblown.
But apparently it's starting to make inroads in central places

@quincy @lechimp Whether it's overblown or not is a question of which point of view one is taking, and of course dependent on ones opinion on this kind of use of LLMs.
But if it's not overblown, then consider it an ongoing debate or a fight that is not over. If the situation is roughly that half of the members are OK with it, then it's a large fight, (I don't want to cal lit battle.) not a lost one.
I don't actually believe half of anywhere are extremely pro-LLM. Many are seeing the (IMO extremely overstated) "utility" and ignoring everything else, mostly for not very good reasons IMO ...
But it's such an inherently domineering technology (I'd even call it a hybrid attack) that it quickly dominates the discourse and direction a space takes anyway ...
2026:
Linux is slop
Nextcloud is slop
CCC is slop??*
