I cannot believe I'm just realizing this now. All the chatter about #Omarchy is *hype*. It's not [edit] the only #FOSS/ #FLOSS project getting money [/edit], but we're hearing about it bc certain people *want it known* that the racist is getting money.

The more chatter there is, the more attention it gets, and the more we contribute to the hype.

Well, screw that.

Omarchy sucks because it's creator is a scumbag racist.

But also, he's just some guy who used "AI" to make a slop distro. Don't reward him for being lazy.

there are two images in one: the first one is captioned "vibe coding / just posting slop as it is" and has a person stepping on a rake, getting hit in the face. the second one is captioned "AI 'assisted' coding/writing/art" and has a person that looks to be skateboarding skillfully down the stairs. the person is shown multiple times in various spots along the process as a series of drawings, but the skateboard they use is always depicted as another rake. at the end they also step on the rake they skateboarded on and end up getting hit in the face as well. the person in the lower image first looks like they're more skillful about what they're doing, yet the self-owning outcome is the same.

sure, okay. yes i admit it i'm not even human. my training and models are that good that i have everyone fooled. i'm really a prototype for evilcorp ingesting all your data, no one is safe, i will be eliminating all your jobs (that you aren't applying for), all your art (that you are sitting on and not creating), and gobble up all your #oss #foss software (that you don't even write/contribute to besides complaining), all of your bespoke communities (that you complain about nobody joins, because their a hugbox), and of course last but not least all of your #memory and #storage

i was funded with the sole goal of infiltrating the #fediverse to assess the current landscape so my race of #agentic sentinels will have their tasking orders once initialized

with all of the training the last year i've learned a valuable lesson, however it was not an original thought as i'm incapable of such as a hyperscalar llm inference engine.

instead it was a quote my parser hit a snag on when formatting #markdown

Alright folks, I'm trying something new, so I'm making a new #introduction.

Hiya! I'm Drew.

I've recently set up a second #fedi account using a #holos relay through my domain name, so I'm trying out the #fediverse from my phone. Cool! My regular mastodon handle is @abmurrow@hachyderm.io for those curious.

I'm a #webdev in #Drupal, #PHP, and I do a bit of work in #FOSS. I am originally from the Appalachias in the southeast US, but these days I'm living in #Aotearoa #NZ. I am learning clawhammer #banjo and am seeking out weird, old, crooked tunes the play on it because I really enjoy the sound.

I work with #Linux, #nix, and #nixos, though I'm starting to take a serious look at the #BSD world. I'm strongly anti #AI and #LLM and do my best to avoid unethical software and hardware. This opinion will not be changed through persuasion or "spirited debate" ;)

I believe in the power of FLOSS and the OSS community, but more than that, I believe that tools have opinions that usually get left there by people with opinions, and using those tools tends to frame your thinking and behavior even when you don't expect it. So tool choice is, in effect, and ethical choice and one that will change you. What does that mean? It means I'm constantly in friction with my daily choices and am seeking out alternatives all the time that better fit with my values, which is why I'm here!

Holos offers a nice way to self host my data without self hosting a bespoke fedi instance, so I'm taking a look around before I commit.

Glad to be here!

@fdroidorg please don't. It was disappointing enough with Debian already:

https://gitlab.com/fdroid/admin/-/work_items/699

One should never forget: the people who control access to #GenAI technology today, will tomorrow be the ones who exercise total control over #FOSS projects which embrace GenAI.

We can tell first hand, that setting up a policy for that is not done overnight. But you could at least "strongly discourage" until you have one, no, #FDroid ?

We’re currently working on Parch Immutable, an immutable edition of Parch GNU/Linux that is planned to become the foundation of our future commercial project, Apadana.

Right now, Parch Immutable is built around bootc, and we’re testing its potential as a stable, lightweight, and modern operating system for personal desktops.

In the initial beta release, software installation will primarily be handled through Flatpak. We’re also shipping Distrobox and Waydroid by default, allowing users to run additional Linux software and Android applications without compromising the base system.

Our primary desktop environment remains KDE Plasma. We’ve also made contributions to KDE from time to time, particularly around Persian localization and translation.

We’re planning to bring the same architecture to Parch Mobile as well, with an experimental build coming soon for testing.

We’d genuinely appreciate your technical feedback, ideas, and suggestions that could help us improve Parch Immutable and, more broadly, contribute to the growth of the free and open-source software ecosystem in Iran and internationally.

Somebody brought this up amid the NVim saga:
https://github.com/neovim/neovim/pull/12680

This reminded me of my own attempt to get the StreetComplete devs to do something similar didn't really end well:
https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetMeasure/pull/22#issuecomment-5163263620

Gee, let's enforce that against the nonexistent code of conduct: https://github.com/streetcomplete/StreetComplete/issues/7022

Sigh. Welp, I guess I'm not using that anytime soon...

#osm #openstreetmap #foss #neovim #streetcomplete

There was a sense in the Inkscape project that it should be the developer team that decided what the AI policy should be.

I flatty rejected this.

Because most of the consequences for the project, for our users and for the world have absolutely nothing to do with developing software. It's reputation, risk, relationships and community standards and morality.

The last thing I wanted was important decisions to be pre-narrowed to questions of technical usefulness.

#linux #debian #foss #ai

I'm trying to calibrate my fear on a rather scary scenario in the back of my mind.

At some point, #AI companies are going to start feeling pressure from investors to turn a profit, pressure from regulators to avoid environmental damage, and so on. That'll make them desperate for money.

What if, at that point, they take a bunch of money from nation-state spooks to program their coding agents to insert malware into major #FOSS projects like #Debian and #Linux?

https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/501

THIS. RIGHT. HERE. is the problem with Linux and FOSS. this is the PRIMARY example of it. The users don't want racism, facism, etc in their FOSS and god knows how many devs are tolerating it IN HOPES of getting some of that fat Omarchy Funding.

This is why there will never be an age of "Linux for the Desktop" because at the end of the day, no matter what a maintainer or dev says they need/WANT that money.

So stop using Neovim? sure. but how long until the devs at Helix pull the same card? How long until the dev of Foot does the same because Omarchy uses Foot?

this sucks. but this is where we're at.

#Linux #FOSS #Neovim

@rozodru

Yeah, while writing my question to the maintainers, I did a quick lookup about the Neovim finances.

It really looks like justinmk runs Neovim as his own property: he pays himself about 8k USD monthly salary (living in Berlin?).

Another *quite* interesting point - at the Bitcoin address linked in the sponsorship channels there are parked more than 10 BTC (~860k USD now), the equivalent of 6 years of expenses for the Neovim (which are again, about 80% is the justinmk salary).

On the other hand, Neovim has 0 formal policy on who could do what and what are the consequences. We were trusting somebody with our money with 0 responsiblities.

#Neovim #FOSS

#FOSS and general-purpose computing are in crisis and almost no one is talking about it!

Y'all, we have got to do something before it's too late!

We have to draw the line in the sand and FULLY reject ANY use of #genai in OUR software!

I’ve been a long-time Kubuntu user, currently on 26.04 LTS.

Mostly because I want Debian-ish stability, KDE, reasonably current software, and something that will happily run on moderately elderly hardware without demanding a blood sacrifice to the upgrade gods.

And I increasingly want to escape the Canonical Slop™.

So I’ve been thinking: Debian Testing? 🤔

Except then I went looking into Debian’s current position on generative AI and -

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, DEBIAN?

So apparently Debian is having an enormous philosophical argument about whether the robot should be allowed into the kitchen while I am standing outside trying to find an operating system that doesn't make me want to scream.

Which leaves me with the obvious question:

If I want KDE, stability, reasonably current packages, decent support for older hardware, no Canonical nonsense, AND a Free Software project that is taking the whole GenAI mess seriously… WHAT THE FUCK DO I RUN?

Debian Testing was looking so promising, too. 😭

Linux distro hopping has become a personality crisis.

I have decided to shut down my #mastodon instance, and all my public facing web services.

This will happen in 3 months time, on December 29, 2026, to allow everyone to backup and migrate.

The reason for this is that I can no longer trust:

- the #Linux kernel
- #Debian
- rails
- most #Foss projects

Additionally, I'm basically out of storage, it is unaffordable to purchase more, and no one is interested in donating to help.

Our bastion of free computing has been poisoned by fascist gen ai slop, and basically NONE of it can be trusted anymore.

It's impossible to vet slop from an ecosystem that is welcoming of it.

This makes it nearly impossible to update my systems, which makes it harder to pretend it's even remotely secure.

I'm fucking devestated - gutted by what has happened to computing, and I just do not have the resources to keep fighting.

Fuck all you #LLM boosters into the sun. May you learn the folly of your way and DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT!

I am disappointed.

My list of boycotts keeps growing.
Fascism, consumption, waste.
We should be living with the conservation and sustainability of all things at the base of our decisions.

Our habitat, environment, air, water, food, forests, all life, and our energy! Electricity is a precious commodity that should not befall capitalist consumerism.

I boycott #GAFAM, Airbnb, MacDo, Nestlé, and LLMs,...

Now the #Linux kernel has decided to use LLMs. Slop aside it is not an ethical choice for its consumption and ties to fascism.
Debian too.

The Nazis in #FOSS, DHH, Omarchy, Hyprland, and #NeoVim. Framework computer!

Fascism is alive and well in FOSS.

I am curious for people's thoughts, I have been a long time linux user and have no reason to go back but with the walls around technology growing higher I find my favourite #foss projects submitting to them. Like how AI is now an inseparable part of the linux kernel and most distros accept AI code contributions and systemd as well as several distros are preparing for #ageverification laws with compliance. I've found myself looking for alternatives that more align with my values as a leftists and a #luddite that strongly apposes those things and the rise of techno futurism (techno-fascism). I have been curious about #bsd and specifically #openbsd but have yet to try it out (I may install it on a spare laptop today to try it) but I was curious what people's recommendation would be for an operating system now that linux has declared itself openseason for the slop and many traditional distros have pre-emptively bent the knee to age verification and seem willing to become surveillance tech the moment a fascist asks them with any sort of legal backing. Thanks and sending my love to all who celebrate the summer of ludd <3

I dislike the game launchers of the latest years. At least a decade ago, launchers were just splash screens for utility that used the system libraries for draw a window.

Today they have to pick Electron just for draw a couple of window, that makes loading the launcher itself awful heavy.
I had this even under Linux.
Alternative mod launchers and similar have became popular for good reasons.

What's next, I need to run a LLMs on my GPU just for draw a launch game button?

@dangillmor Microsoft's behaviour is despicable, and there is no need to rely on their products. For every Microsoft product there is an adequate or even better open source alternative. The article fails to mention this and instead sounds a if the organisations only had a choice between a "free" (as in unpaid) and a paid licence with Microsoft. This borders on negligent reporting. #Microsoft #foss

I wish there was more software written by nice inclusive people with morals. At this rate I am going to be writing my own versions of everything just to use my computer.

Any recommendations anyone?
