According to the release:

Adds experimental PostgreSQL support

The code was written by Cursor and Claude

14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed

reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks

This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.

Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

there is this repo that lists some slopware : https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware maybe someone can add it

I think there's room for a little bit of nuance that page doesn't do a great job of describing. In my opinion there's a huge difference between volunteer maintainers using AI PR checks as a screening measure to ease their review burden and focusing their actual reviews on PRs that pass the AI checks, and AI-deranged lone developers flooding the code with "AI features" and slopping out 10kloc PRs for no obvious reason.

Just because a project is using AI code reviews or has an AGENTS.md is not necessarily a red flag. A yellow flag, maybe, but the evidence that the Linux Kernel itself is on that list should serve as an example of why you can't just kneejerk anti-AI here. If you know anything about Linus Torvalds you know he has zero tolerance for bad code, and the use of AI is not going to change that despite everyone's fears. If it doesn't work out, Linus will be the first one to throw it under the bus.

did not know that the serde developer tolnay is a military apologist. I'm disgusted. serde is a very good tool.. I'll think about what to do about this. such a shame...

Awesome page, thanks. Have bookmarked.

Harfbuzz though? That's going to take some replacing. Hopefully someone will fork an earlier version. The thing that it does (accurate multi-script font shaping) is difficult to do; requires a lot of rule-of-thumb knowledge that's unlikely to be possessed by a single person, needs a lot of collaboration.

oh no. not ladybird! You were supposed to save us!
