I develop apps for #GNOME on Linux using #Lua. I strive to keep things simple, and simplify even further.

For fun, I like to play retro Nintendo games. I'm not much of a fan of multiplayer, but #PokémonChampions is slowly changing that.

Replying to @⁨vtrlx@mastodon.social⁩

Multiple GNOME contributors have told me that they feel it is pointless to vocally oppose the use of generative tooling and that they feel it is just a matter of time before a pro-slop policy is officially adopted by GNOME.

I want you all to know that the relentlessly anti-AI stance is the popular opinion. If you state your opposition as well, you'll be in good and plentiful company.

Edit: Are you a GNOME contributor who is demotivated by AI? Please reach out.

If I'm reading the discourse achievements correctly, it seems my post calling for a total ban on AI in #GNOME is currently the second–most liked post in the forum's history.

I have shared my thoughts on #GNOME's potential adoption of an "AI" policy in this discourse thread, and strongly suggest my fellow slop-hating GNOMies do the same.
