Flathub moves to ban nearly all apps and submissions made with generative AI #Linux #OpenSource #Flathub #AI #GenAI

I wonder when and who will ban flatpak and snap? Looking forward for that day!

You're right, Linux should be hard and unreliable.

- the Flathub maintainers, apparently 😬

Wdym?

This is exactly the kind of move that makes Linux hard and unreliable, by poisoning the ecosystem of the largest app distribution channel.

The rule is poorly written and imo what was in place before made more sense. Flathub's current judgement (from what I've seen) on what constitutes "AI Slop" is pretty reasonable. You can see their PRs for the kind of stuff they have to sift through.
