Thanks for going to the effort to find that, much appreciated!

So not as bad as it could be, but I dearly wish they’d taken a firm stance against it, as literally every DE and 99% of Wayland compositors/window managers use AI now, all save for the handful of WM projects on this list.

Interesting, hadn’t heard of this, though they don’t seem to have a stance about LLM contributions.

The store’s own brand often make a really good cola.

I mean, I’m sure there’s a very common stitch pattern used in most people’s clothing, but I’m guessing most people wouldn’t be familiar with it. 🤷

I’ve never had cause to work with anything related to databases. I’m familiar with SQlite being a database software, but I haven’t ever had to open a .db file before, so I wouldn’t have known .db is specifically the SQLite format.

Virtually the entire industry is not profitable, but that current reality does not affect the massive investment money they continue to receive, as they are pitching the concept to investors that many of the free users will eventually become paying users, and that their overall userbase will continue to expand, with projections of huge profits a decade from now.

For investors, the lack of profits now is not a blaring alarm bell, because Amazon also operated without a profit for many years by undercutting their competition until the competition failed, then Amazon was able to be a monopoly and jack up their prices.

A similar thing is happening with AI companies, where the prices they are currently charging is putting them at a net loss, but each one is hoping to out survive the other so that some day they can be a semi or total monopoly, and jack the prices up on a userbase that has become totally dependent on them to do their jobs.

Ooh, that’s one I hadn’t seen. Thanks for sharing!

Devuan has made no official statements on their stance about LLM use. Until they do, it is not known if they would be a safe haven or not.

The only debian based distro that has publicly taken a stand against LLM/AI’s is AntiX linux.

1. Simply using an AI that’s run on a corporate data centers encourages the construction of yet more data centers, with all of the environmental/climate negatives they bring, as well as local harms they induce on the people living near them, such as increased electricity rates.

2. Using corporate AI directly helps the financial situations of those giant corporations (by boosting usage/user numbers, they are able to attract more investment capital), most of which are ran by right-wing CEO’s who are more than willing to collaborate with and fund fascist governments to ensure that they are not regulated in search of both maximum profits. Some of these companies, such as Nvidia, Palantir and Oracle, genuinely appear to be seeking to use these tools for what would previously be considered crackpot conspiracy theory levels of public control and surveillance.

3. I’m wary of the potential effects of AI usage resulting in declining or stagnating critical thinking based on some preliminary studies (example 1, example 2).

4. I do not think LLM’s can be “just a tool” as many claim.

5. 99% of LLM’s (the ones virtually everyone use) are trained on copyrighted code that is incompatible with GPL licensed projects. LLM’s have a 3 to 10% chance to unknowingly reproduce the copyrighted code perfectly, introducing legal plagiarism into an open-source project, which could easily open up the developers to being sued in the future if companies scanned open source repos for copyright violations.

6. Many courts are ruling that LLM generated code cannot be copyrighted at all, meaning that it also cannot be legally made GPL, losing the protections from corporate exploration the GPL normally grants. https://fsfe.org/news/2026/news-20260825-01.html

The pro-AI option that doesn’t require disclosure won. It has already caused one Debian developer to resign, and an ex-dev to comment on it.

There’s this list of distros that actively reject AI/LLM contributions.

There’s also this list with a few more not listed in the first.

Also found that AntiX rejects AI usage based on a conversation about it in their forum, but they are based on Debian, so…

Ubuntu, Mint and PopOS are all based on Debian, so they will inherit the LLM code that Debian inevitably will accept now.

Difference is, Systemd wasn’t specifically being used to facilitate fascist governments surveiling their populace or contribute to global warming like LLMs are.

Anarchism is the only ideology that says “Don’t give me power, instead spread all power out as much as possible to prevent dictatorships and any ability for corporations or a state to exploit others.”

From historical records, when it’s able to be tried, it works like it says on the tin.

It may not be possible to do in the app, as I believe that is not feature complete yet. You’ll likely have better luck from a regular browser.

When the surveillance is being sold to fascist governments to identify, suppress and imprison dissidents, it is fascist.

From what I understand, while OpenBSD is currently not accepting LLM contributions, they mostly made that choice out of legal copyright concerns, and seem like they would jump on the bandwagon when they consider it to be safer legally.

Most are operated by sociopaths and psychopaths.

You absolutely can subscribe, comment, and like videos from his channel from your Tilvids instance, you just need to navigate to his channel within your own instance.

I believe if you put his channel URL into Tilvid’s search box, the two instances should federate and his content should show up for you to interact with.

I also found this video which shows how to subscribe to channels from other instances: https://tube.jeena.net/videos/watch/51a189cf-3372-4f97-9ff7-b5982dce4c9e

If a corporation helping a fascist government surveil and detain citizens in opposition to the government securing more totalitarian power isn’t fascist then… What would you consider fascist behavior?

because there are several brands that were supported by Nazi’s at one time in the past.

The AI’s that most people use support fascists in the present.
