systemd goes AI agent slopware https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/c1d4d5fd9ae56dc07377ef63417f461a0f4a4346/AGENTS.md

[gwenthefops@transfem.social]

@cwebber@social.coop finally, a decent reason to stop using systemd

[foolishowl@social.coop]

@cwebber I have no words.

[trisweb@m.trisweb.com]

@cwebber ohhhh no, but it's so core

[alexa@mstdn.breadcat.run]

@cwebber Oh fucking hell

[hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus]

@cwebber@social.coop Hmmm..... Hannah should really get to learn more about Guix again... Really liked writing Scheme code for some strange reason!
Though the support and availability for many packages is worse in the package repository in Guix... ​​

(And there are certain rumors around GNU that would be too long to elaborate on... but they are really something that sound off-putting... ​​)

[cwebber@social.coop]

@hannah I will say that "Guix isn't as GNU as it appears" (positive edition)

[hannah@moonserver.yorha.nexus]

@cwebber@social.coop It's not as coupled to each other as it seems on first glance? ​​

It always rubbed this one the wrong way to see the GNU branding somewhat in the center... ​​

Should maybe risk another curious look... ​​

[jackpearse@nrw.social]

@cwebber whooot? :‘-{

[davidgerard@circumstances.run]

@gwenthefops @cwebber i was about to say

[ensoyote@furry.engineer]

@cwebber one positive thing about getting a Mac as a work laptop is that I can now give Guix a proper try on my ThinkPad without losing my only machine

[bclindner@mas.to]

@cwebber you'll notice about everything Red Hat touches is compromised in this regard!

[skyfaller@jawns.club]

@cwebber Will GNU Guix be able to keep LLMs out of Shepherd and Hurd? I'm also worried about the Linux kernel potentially slopifying.

[cwebber@social.coop]

@skyfaller Linux already is slopifying

[lhp@mastodon.social]

@cwebber ugh, whyyy. The only init I can stand to use long term

[driusan@doomscroller.social]

@cwebber@social.coop That seems pretty on-brand for systemd.

[cocaine_owlbear@retro.pizza]

@cwebber I'm more of an OpenRC or dinit kind of Owlbear personally. Also, Guix doesn't support NY laptop's hardware (imma be a lot more careful about my next laptop…)

[cocaine_owlbear@retro.pizza]

@cwebber well, I was gonna abandon systemd anyway. But gods damn it, I just got my modded-to-hell Skyrim working. The Owlbear is finishing a play through first…

[skyfaller@jawns.club]

@cwebber Regardless of how quickly the Linux kernel is slopifying (you probably know better than I do), it doesn't really matter if the alternatives are not able to draw hard lines and keep the slop out; they'll just slopify slightly slower. Is Guix up to the task? Will there be alternatives, or will every option be slop?

I just haven't seen an LLM policy yet from Guix and it's making me nervous.

[korin@roark.voluminum.net]

@cwebber and if that wasn't enough...
