I see. I’m not Anti AI, though. I just believe in this capitalist system it is used irresponsibly and against the proletariat. I believe it is a tool, and in a socialist system we can use it to benefit humanity without wrecklessly destroying people’s ability to survive. I believe China’s use of AI is an example that other countries should follow, treating the tech as infrastructure instead of some cash grab while threatening people and the planet and expand surveillance against the working class.

Wait, did you block me? If I said anything wrong, I’m willing to discuss in good faith.

I wonder if I was specifically blocked. Not sure what I did. I’m not as active on this account, and sometimes I have posted some unpopular material because I am a communist, though my most unpopular post I shared a video that I later realized was created by an Anti-China ultra that I do not agree with, though the video itself still holds value and some truth after the election. I’m not great at being eloquent and charismatic when trying to make marxist-leninist arguments to help educate and raise class consciousness, but I’m trying to work on it. I try not to be disrespectful unless someone is treating me or someone poorly.

So originally this comment suggested an alternative to FreeBSD that takes an Anti-AI stance called CoffeeBSD. It’s specifically a fork of FreeBSD 13.0, which is a bit odd since the untainted commits to FreeBSD occur in later versions. It removed the lua bootloader interpreter and added a few md files and hasn’t received updates in a few months. I suggested this as I thought it would be interesting to keep an eye on, but as for now it seems yet another fork with not a lot of support and could likely die off. It’s created by a contributor of the AI-less fork of vim, EVi, as well as other projects.

35% of those polled want AI-assisted code to be disclosed while 22% felt it should be treated just like any other code contribution and only 16% want AI generated code to be rejected outright.

I find it depressing that most developers don’t want to even bother taking the time and care to disclose when AI assisted some code contributions. I’m tired of most software eating its own tail and not taking precautions in case legal issues occur which would lead to reverting the AI assisted commits.

Stalwart has a no AI generated code policy.

Something that keeps being missed in these posts that I would recommend is Forward Email and NymVPN. For self-hosted email, I have also seen Stalwart recommended.

For one, it is largely responsible for supporting and maintaining OpenRC on Linux, and is often the go-to-distro that other distros piggyback off its OpenRC configs and scripts.

Being probably the biggest source-based distribution, it provides invaluable work on developing a system which can be compiled from source that other distro maintainers can look to for guidance.

Portage is also one of the best package managers I have used. It takes into account packages that need to be rebuilt when build dependencies also update. On Arch Linux, I sometimes have to manually reinstall a package like qt6ct when KDE dependencies update. Portage takes care of this automatically when doing a deep update.

In a time when many dystopian laws and surveillance tools like age verification and facial recognition are being enforced, we do not have many distros left that could provide security and privacy measures to bypass these issues by supporting alternative tools. Tools like systemd, which has merged the pull request to include a birth date field in preparation for age verification, tend to develop a monopoly on most distros because of the limited capacity and free time developers have to support alternatives while trying to keep up with other projects. I’m not trying to bash systemd, though, but the fact it is the most dominant init system on most major distros creates a problem for users, especially activists and journalists, who need to protect their identity in this increasingly threatening and dangerous capitalist hellscape.

Gentoo supports many, many packages. It provides the ability to create a system using various combination of tools coming from the GNU, BSD, systemd, and other families. While other distros like Arch may also provide some alternatives, not many distros come close to scale that Gentoo offers. If Gentoo cannot survive, it would be a massive blow to FOSS and our technological sovereignty overall.
