I'm Fucking Done with Slop

This is a furious, profanity-laced rant against the creeping presence of what the writer calls "slop" - AI-driven or otherwise objectionable proprietary additions - inside projects the writer once trusted in the open source ecosystem. They describe discovering recent integrations (named example: Claude) in music clients and servers they rely on (Strawberry, Navidrome, Clementine lineage) and feel betrayed because open source choice is guided by ethics, not price or perfection. The writer lays out why this matters: a music library built from purchased FLACs and ripped CDs is intimate and ethically chosen, and touching that infrastructure with untrusted code violates a contract of trust with users who invest time, money, and social effort to avoid corporate ecosystems.

The piece rejects common responses - fork it, call it a security patch, or switch platforms - as inadequate, impractical, or dishonest, and catalogs other personal commitments (Debian, LibreWolf, Nextcloud, LineageOS, Jellyfin, Signal/XMPP/Matrix) to show the depth of their investment. It expresses hurt, rage, and loss of trust, asks developers to stop "slopcoding," and makes clear the writer will avoid software that adopts these practices while insisting their site content not be used by AI tools.
