you’re not actually against AI, you’re against hustle culture, influencers and unsustainable practices.

96.5% of all AI projects are linked to that. If 96.5% of my tap water tastes like poop and 3.5% are potable, I’d still not want to drink it.

I always wonder if veterans really need to know that much information at all times.

Actually I suffer from something called “monitoring fatigue” or “notification fatigue” at work. There’s so many monitoring notifications, half of which are nothingburgers, that I seriously hate that part of my job is responding to them.

I already disabled notifications for my email in our monitoring system and now there’s just another department monitoring the monitoring system and creating tickets for me. I can’t escape it.

I’m in the “Fuck AI” crowd even though I currently heavily use LLMs, specifically for the reason that slopcoders, techbros and memelords destroy the planet.

I’m in the same boat as those people and that’s specifically why I hate it.

Sounds interesting.

Can you link those projects please?

Your link is broken and currently displays a Claude Code announcement. Are you even real?

Usually these tools are very basic.

If you read this community in the last weeks you’d know that slopcoders don’t stop at basic projects.

For Android there’s PhotoSwooper which works somewhat similar @uuj8za@piefed.social

Here, a random link explaining why using bandwidth for no reason while people provide it to you for free might be ethically questionable

https://tor.stackexchange.com/questions/21067/tor-streaming-videos-is-it-ethical

Should I explain it further?

Or to not do security by obscurity at all.

Streaming videos puts a huge burden on the TOR network. Please don’t do it if you don’t need to, setting up a VPN is faster and doesn’t slow TOR down.

Or you run ncdu and save some keystrokes.

That’s stderr, not stdout

I wouldn’t say nothing, but the USA is shady and we’re buying their chips all the time, why care about China when we don’t care about the USA?

If you’re tracking your location anyway, consider adding support to send your location to OpenCellID and BeaconDB to improve FOSS location services and data :)

I found IPv6 is usually faster than IPv4. Which do you use to connect?

Can you edit your post to be shorter and more concise and add an AI disclaimer about how much of your project is done with AI and in which capacity you use LLMs to write it?

That’s because it’s written by Claude, an LLM. It’s trained on corporate bullshit. The author seems to be a proper software engineer assisted by Claude Code which is OK in my book. They seem to be Chinese and translate everything into English with AI. Since I can’t read Chinese I can’t tell you whether the Chinese readme is also generated:

I wouldn’t call this project slop, as it clearly has a human touch and not completely written by AI it seems from a first glance at the code, but that’s the reason the writing sounds so “grating”: Chinese person feeding an LLM with idioms not present in English language.

Try to jailbreak it into giving you more time off.

And it’s very expensive.

I feel the void whenever I need to script APIs, it’s fine.

If you POST into the void long enough, one day, the void POSTs back.
