# The No-AI List's April Update!

Hiya everyone!
It's the next month, and as such the monthly update for the No-AI list is now publicly available!

We've added tons of new entries just this month alone, easily doubling the lists' length, while also doing some other changes:

- We have added "Marks" that identify whether a project is proprietary, comes from an upstream which uses AI or similar (this doesn't include all dependencies, dependency scanning is out-of-scope)
- Headers now have an underline to make reading the list easier
- The CONTRIBUTING.md is now clearer in how to contribute
- You can now contribute directly via forgejo, just register with Codeberg and wait for approval. You can speed this up by sending Alexia an email notifying her that you registered.
- Some projects' evidence was updated, as they have since adopted more clear No-AI policies

we hope the software and their developers are praised and celebrated for their craft, and we hope that this list is useful to you!

and, although this update isn't a joke, happy april fools

We will try and cross-reference your new account with one on Codeberg, if we can find it, if not we'll reach out to you.

happy contributing :)

*: technically, your existing Codeberg email will be used, but we won't verify it. We will use it only to reach out to you if something went wrong or we need more info.

Just to be clear, we can likely cover costs out-of-pocket currently, but who knows how bad future prices may get.

As a result of switching to NSOE though, our sites should now have substantially better protection against scrapers :)

# No AI, cuz we don't do that around here.

hiya! You might've seen @a5n5buqoqcztszvp@shrimp.starlightnet.work talking about this a bit already, but we're publishing a list of tech (software, hardware, anything we know of!) that actively rejects or disallows AI contributions, or pledges not to implement AI features themselves.

This is the first release, and we hope that this can be a useful resource for everyone :)

Our IRC network now has a web client at irc.starlightnet.work !

If you just wanna tune in and see what's cooking, don't got your client ready, or are completely new to IRC, this will hopefully be very useful to you!

Actually, update on this: Tomorrow's a holiday in Germany (which I forgot! ~alexia), and we also just managed to release the first prerelease of Makko 3.0, so we're postponing this to next week's friday, same time.

We have published the first draft of the official Code of Conduct for our spaces, heavily adapted from zig as we generally agree on things and their CoC is very clear. The PR for this is here, in case you want to comment on anything beforehand! forge.starlightnet.work/Team/Meta/pulls/31

currently in Mynah 0.3.0 (indev):

macOS support
dark mode + better and more consistent UI styling (precursor to custom theming)
receiving messages from other logged-in clients (and from contacts not in the contacts list)

also: at least 3 different exceptions and no UI on launch right now all of the logic is being reworked to allow for message storage after app close + fetching message history + better message search (and possibly more?) in 0.3.0 and purposefully letting everything else break (it'll be reworked later)

in proprietary platforms, development is always biased towards newer and better features regardless of (existing) quality being OSS decouples us from this requirement: we prioritise long-term experience over shinier buttons donating also helps us with this; you can donate to Mynah's maintainer here () or to the rest of TSN here

After lots of work, here we are. For one, Makko 3.0 is released for everyone! You can read our post about it on our brand new website :) starlightnet.work/posts/new-stuff.html in addition to that post, @a5n5ceoufw4f6p85@shrimp.starlightnet.work has also written up a post about Yggdrasil, a fascinating routing scheme that's implemented on-top of the internet. starlightnet.work/posts/yggdrasil.html

hi everyone!

I (alexia) wanted to use our platform to shoutout some places where TSN members need some help rn, so u can help a bit more directly than just the nebulous "donate to keep us running" :P

ofc, totally optional!! we won't go under or anything.

so, some members which need help right now:

Nelson, main computer broke, fell back to one that's barely powerful enough to run his dev environment, trying to raise funds to keep working on makko and other software for TSN; you can see nelson's post about this
pastthepixels, needs a new walker, a mobility aid! see this post by niko for more info
