I have decided to shut down my #mastodon instance, and all my public facing web services.

I will still use my PCs, though much less. Mostly I use my pc as a thin client to talk to servers.I will still have airgapped studio computers for recording and mixing audio that happily run pre-slop linux and other apps.
If there is a such thing as a slop-free BSD, I will likely look to move to it for my daily driver PC that checks email and the like.

I have decided to shut down my #mastodon instance, and all my public facing web services.
This will happen in 3 months time, on November 29, 2026, to allow everyone to backup and migrate.
The reason for this is that I can no longer trust:
- the #Linux kernel
- #Debian
- rails
- most #Foss projectsAdditionally, I'm basically out of storage, it is unaffordable to purchase more, and no one is interested in donating to help.
Our bastion of free computing has been poisoned by fascist gen ai slop, and basically NONE of it can be trusted anymore.
It's impossible to vet slop from an ecosystem that is welcoming of it.
This makes it nearly impossible to update my systems, which makes it harder to pretend it's even remotely secure.
I'm fucking devestated - gutted by what has happened to computing, and I just do not have the resources to keep fighting.
Fuck all you #LLM boosters into the sun. May you learn the folly of your way and DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT!
@sb I feel you, it's rough out here. Hope you can use this space to reconnect to life & computing in a wholesome, trustworthy setting

@sb Just a question: what about your PC? Will you stop using it?

@sb I must have been living under a rock the last few days. What happened to the Linux kernel and the Debian project?

@sb I think you're overreacting a little bit too much.

@soulflyman @sb Linus "the fucking asshole" torvalds is in favor of slopware, and is against anyone who is antifascist. Torvalds is a piece of shit.
