i want a new free software definition, one that is broader. yes source code under a license allowing you to have the 4 freedoms, but also with an inclusive community. also rejecting genai. also anti-capitalist. etc

i believe proprietary software is inherently a bad thing, even if non-corpo
the term "open source" was also co-opted by corporations, hence i tend not to use it
what we want, in my opinion, is software that is developed by a community, for a community. free software in a broader sense of the word than what the fsf states

i used to have quite a bad fear of getting older, probably because all of the older people in my life were not the greatest
meeting a lot of people that are older than me and are actually really cool has helped me a lot with accepting the fact that i am also getting older and i don't have to be like those older people that i just could not relate to at all

2026-04-16 17:58:28 UTC

yes, fuck "open source". we don't need "open source"
what we need is free software, and we need it in the most holistic way possible. software which goes against all hierarchies: anti-fascist, feminist, anti-racist, lgbtq+ inclusive, anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, anti-genai, etc
yes, this includes source availability under a free software license. of course it does, it's still free software
and we need it for **everyone**, not just power users. **everyone** should be empowered and we should be in solidarity with the whole working class

this ignores the massive ethical issues. we must not do a study like that, we must reject genai completely

2026-04-15 20:16:12 UTC

many free software projects are banning contributions that were made partially or fully by generative models
the genie is out of the bottle, and we can't get it back in. genai bans are here to stay and will eventually take over the whole industry
don't get left behind! ban genai on your project as well!

made a top-level post on the helix llm policy discussion, let's hope we get a response
https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/discussions/15408#discussioncomment-16558628
as usual, please let your views be heard! not just in the helix issue, but everywhere! be loudly against this, if only to signal to others that there are people against it.
we need to make sure the movement against it grows as much as possible and is as widely known as possible. together, we can make a difference
let's do our best to make the free software ecosystem as hostile as possible to genai! :neocat_heart: :no_ai:
also, i will be forking helix if nothing happens here or there is a response where genai is allowed in any way

2026-04-10 20:25:02 UTC

the parallels between genai and proprietary software are very deep (corporations use it to exploit us, it's opaque to the end user, it's unethical, it reinforces power dynamics, ...), so i feel it is possible to use the same tactics as we would use in software freedom, just against genai
so what i feel is best is to band together and make ethical software, but be more holistic about it. not just free software, not just banning "ai", but also being explicitly anti-capitalist and queer
software should stop being a tool to oppress us all, and instead be empowering ✊

yeah, that as well
just trying to illustrate how 10% failure rate overall covers up the deeper failure rates in non-trivial cases by also counting trivial ones

2026-04-07 20:41:22 UTC

"ai model is wrong 10% of the time" can mean it is right 99% of the time on trivial things and right 1% of the time on harder things
so while it already looks bad, it is likely much worse than it looks

2026-04-06 14:01:25 UTC

coding *is* an art form
there is a lot of intent involved in writing code, many small creative decisions that have to be made. this also applies to the design of a larger system, there are many many creative degrees of freedom
llms regurgitating it therefore is equally as offensive as it regurgitating writing, or a diffusion model regurgitating art
hence, genai must be loudly opposed wherever possible. we must not let it rot our communities even more

well, not against discussing quality, as more of a curiosity thing. but the quality issues are the least severe ones, in my views

genai technology devalues legitimate human creations and strips humanity of everything it touches
you can make shitty and soulless versions of code, images, videos, writing and many other things, which leads to the devaluing of these creations and people constantly having to think of whether something is slop or not
the worst part is that they can't even do what they're hyped up to do. it's just this endless cycle of hype to keep propping the torment nexus up
it's nice to be able to look at everything and think that it has a story, some human designed it or thought of it at some point. genai strips this away
for more on this, i would suggest watching Freya Holmér's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-opBifFfsMY

2026-03-20 17:20:43 UTC

as i (and many others) are writing articles, posts, comments, etc against genai, i think it might be a good idea to come together and share reasons why genai is bad and should be rejected
so, in this thread, i'd like to request that you make your case against it, link sources, etc
this way we can all benefit from each other's effort and research
maybe we can do this in a more organized way later on

the core thing i disagree with is that somehow what gets installed from the google play store is more secure than what gets installed from outside of it. this place google as an authority for what are the good apps and what are the bad apps. this is **very** wrong
the root of trust should be configurable for any user, without any special permissions. for some it might be a techie friend, for others it might be some local service, for yet others it might be an online community. but a big tech corporation is fundamentally untrustworthy here and they should not get any authority. not one tiny bit
in addition to this, i feel this is google flexing their power and eventually they **will** go further. even what they are doing now is completely unacceptable. people shouldn't even need to enable a setting to enable installing from outside the play store

yeah, bodily autonomy should extend to our personal devices. we should have full control of all of our devices, with no "but"s. access to full source code with a free software license, able to install whatever we want and do whatever we want with it

being against genai is not purity culture just like being against fascism is not purity culture

2026-03-15 18:17:39 UTC

don't use the term "sideloading", it was coined by the industry to make installing arbitrary applications sound ominous and to justify their snakeoil security and taking away your control over devices you are supposed to own
just call it installing

2026-03-12 18:32:32 UTC

"fragmentation" is a good thing, actually. having many different projects makes the whole ecosystem more resilient and sustainable. it spreads power over many different projects
so never feel bad about writing your own implementation of something. go for it. it's good to have more implementations!
the whole notion that fragmentation is bad is dangerous
what we need are common standards between many implementations, and cooperation between implementations. everyone should feel empowered to write their own implementation

every time anyone promotes signal, be aware that signal is both centralized and requires phone numbers

we should not let ourselves get divided, all genai is unethical, be it for writing, code, art, or whatever else

oh! that makes sense then. so the app is checking that the system it initially verified on has the same trust as the system it is on right now

i think i might be confused as to what the difference between root-based and pinning-based attestation is

2026-03-09 17:54:29 UTC

i think it is fundamentally wrong that the app gets to decide what it runs on. it should not have this authority as it is completely backwards
if i wanted to run the most insecure system, i should still be able to run whatever apps i want, as long as all the apis are implemented
of course i don't want to run an insecure system. but it's my device so i should be able to do whatever i want

what the fuck. that is absolutely horrifying
remote attestation is a technology that has no good uses. it's just drm
everyone should have the freedom to run whatever they want on their own devices. this freedom should never be taken away and it should be enshrined in law that it can never be taken away
someone else should not be able to decide whether my device is "secure" enough for their purposes. this is reverse security. the os needs to boot securely and the attestation chain should go upwards, with each stage verifying the ones on top of it. not this opposite world bullshit

ugh sorry to hear that, you don't deserve to deal with them :neocat_sad:
eventually their overusage will just lead to their skills (or whatever is left of them) atrophying and eventually the cognitive debt coming due. if the tech is even still subsidized heavily at that point. they could just lose their ability to code over genai companies raising their prices
not like these people ever really cared about the craft of coding, they just see it as a means to an end, and then downplay the value of actually learning the skill. i actually like coding, i love doing this stuff, give me the respect i deserve, ugh (tho, not like they ever cared about respecting their fellow humans 🙄)
