Linux is the name of a computer operating system kernel and a group of systems built on it, like Ubuntu or Mint. Linux is the basic infrastructure of the Internet. It’s important. A report ju…
I only recently installed Linux for the first time on my HTPC last year and it was flawless at first. Last couple months I’ve noticed a handful of bugs and system hangs that never happened before. Anecdotal, I know, but it worries me as a novice. I built my home server on this machine specifically to avoid microslop…
Last couple months I’ve noticed a handful of bugs and system hangs that never happened before.
I get random blackscreens with my OcuLink-connected Radeon GPU on the latest kernels…anecdotal evidence, too, but my slopcode senses are tingling. It worked really well on 6.x kernels last year.
Software will probably get worse, but very slowly. One little stab at a time until it becomes very noticeable.
I find this annoying where every regression now gets associated with “AI slop”. I agree that genuine slop is bad. But Radeon regressions were pretty damn common pre-AI-slop too. My 6600M, my Vega iGPU and others all had regressions. And I’ve seen this pattern with everything else lately too, where even bugs that have existed for over a decade are associated with LLMs. Pointing things out specifically is important in these scenarios IMO. “This LLM-generated and claimed-to-be-human-reviewed patch caused this regression.” That’s much more useful than “slopcode senses” that people seem to be triggering in projects that have existed for so long. (I do get where you’re coming from though…)
