@ariadne I'm late to this "party" and only found out that Alpine doesn't have a decent AI policy from the article The Register just published which mentioned this thread https://www.theregister.com/os-platforms/2026/06/24/alpine-linux-324-scales-new-desktop-heights-with-cosmic/5259985Coincidentally I'd been toying with the idea of installing Void Linux on a PineBook Pro (PostmarketOS does support this but I wanted to install Alpine directly ... but that didn't work so I looked for options ... Voids installer seemed to get further than Alpine hence, doing some research).Anyway, it looks like Void Linux might soon have a fairly sensible (IMHO) AI policy for contributions https://github.com/void-linux/.github/pull/1/files Could Alpine be encouraged to do the same?I suspect the kind of people that use Void and Alpine are doing so to avoid systemd and similar conventional "slop" surely AI slop should be excluded to?

@fionasboots i am not 'anti-systemd', that has nothing to do with my motives of using and working on alpine

it is kinda sad because this will probably be the last Alpine release I contribute to. i do not want to contribute alongside vibe coding: it is a fundamental philosophical difference.yes, there is technical debt, but vibe coding will create a different, and much worse, form of technical debt: as people become more and more detached from their technical output, they will quit understanding said technical output
