mastodon 4.7.2You have reached the profile page of yet another somebody on the internet.
I like tech, public transit, music, and making videos. I don't use AI in my projects.

Anyone know of any Linux desktops/distros that have said that they won't use AI?
I know Elementary/Pantheon have said they won't.
EDIT: the problem is made more complex by the fact that my laptop has an Nvidia card, and if I understand correctly, NetBSD (the anti-AI BSD) doesn't support Nvidia. I'm honestly keeping an eye on Redox OS.

@davidgerard@circumstances.run I was very ready to recommend KDE. Wow are they really shooting themselves in the foot.
KDE: "Remember, a random Akademy talk at our event doesn't represent us!"
Also KDE: "Closes discussions questioning AI use and also showcases the Neo-Nazis at their event."
The sloppification was reason enough for me, but showcasing the Neo-Nazis? No thanks.
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 which 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...

@vvbudh@climatejustice.social The main problem is laptop support and this wonderful thing (/s) called Nvidia.
Replying to
@davidgerard@circumstances.run Yeah, but what really pissed me off was showing it as "neutral" and "fine". I will edit my reply accordingly.

@contrapunctus@fe.disroot.org Mostly agree, but even though Matrix de-facto pushes you to register on Matrix.org, I don't think it's really centralised? Under that logic, Mastodon would also be centralised as it tries to push you to register on Mastodon.social. But maybe I'm out of the loop, who knows.

@MsDropbear42@infosec.space I'm aware that the kernel is now tainted by definition; I'd just like to reduce the slop until options like NetBSD or Redox become more viable.

@babble_endanger@freeradical.zone @Sadsquatch@mastodon.social Correct. As long as you're not copying from copyrighted maps, I think OSMF couldn't care less.

@RubenKelevra@mastodon.social @petko@social.petko.me @streetcomplete@mastodon.social I wasn't saying that you were trolling. But westnordost though that you were, which is why I wrote that. Sorry for any misunderstanding
Replying to
@petko@social.petko.me @streetcomplete@mastodon.social It should be noted that the StreetComplete account is unofficial. But the owner (sorry I can't remember your handle) tried suggesting a partially tongue-in-cheek suggestion to make the German text more neutral that the same maintainer who replied "No thanks" admitted that they thought was trolling...
Here's a hypothetical question for the programmers: If you could make your own programming language, how would the syntax work? What types would you add? Basically give me a pitch of your programming language. I've had this desire ever since I was learning programming to make my own, and I can never get myself to do it for one reason or another. But, I want to know what others think.

Does anyone know if #vernissage has a photo quota or account quota? I tried searching but couldn't find anything. #askfedi
I've given Elementary and Pantheon a chance, and I'm sorry to say that I'm unfortunately not staying. It just is too buggy for my liking, from broken gestures to broken styling system-wide, among other things. I think I'm going to go back to Arch and Sway.
Edit: I ended up choosing Labwc instead due to a lack of support for NVIDIA-open with Sway.
You deserve an explanation, so please don't skip this 1-minute read. It's Tuesday, September 29, and our fundraiser won't last long. We know that—at the Foundation—we were donating to union-busting firms. If you've lost count of how many times the WMF has decided to screw around with its editors and employees, we don't blame you. We wanted you to forget our missteps after Framgate. But we never said that we wouldn't engage in union-busting or override consensus on Wikipedia. Please donate $2.75 or whatever you can to help these efforts to entrench Wikimedia sites into bureaucratic hell; you would join the 2% of readers who give, probably not knowing what they're supporting. And if they ever decide to stop supporting us, we will make it hell to stop their donation, and pester previous donators to support WMF enshittification further.
After 25 years, Wikipedia is still the internet we promised, but at the WMF, we're personally not happy with that. We need to make this as bad as we can. By visiting Wikipedia today and donating, you're choosing an internet where the WMF, a "non-profit", chooses to act like corporate powers. You're choosing the enshittification of the internet. Because the Wikimedia community could NEVER fork.
Most readers don't donate, and we're still wondering why; so, your gift matters. Please give today.

You summed up my thoughts much better than I could.
Again, if anything changes in this front, I'll reconsider my stance on the app, but for now, a hard no for using Tobias's apps.
