Being a reactionary is never a good thing. Though unfortunately by and large in a lot of places it is the norm. Whatever we think of ai. It doesn’t matter. It’s here. It’s not going away. And trying to reactionarily be pure and untainted is only going to cause problems for ourselves and everyone else. I think the one thing that could be universally agreed upon at least in the fediverse. Is that people shouldn’t be using proprietary models run in remote data centers by fascist oligarchs. Sadly in those places we cannot have a nuance debate about what we should do in response. My issue with Torvalds and others isn’t specifically that they are using ai. I think someone with his background and experience, can turn out good code faster using AI. My problem is that he’s likely currently using a big proprietary model to do that. We should all be using local models if any. Which is something that is starting to happen. Even today IBM was talking about it. Sure they were talking about it in reference to them selling the hardware for it to their customers. But still self-hosted nonetheless. And on top of that ethically trained models. I think all of this will come in time. Even with all the toxic reactionary virtue signaling.

Hell yeah, good on them… The “you must speak English” thing comes off wrong, tho. I think I get why they’re implementing it, but that phrasing… Yeesh.

I love the rss reader I’ve been having deepseek v4 flash make for me, I keep context low, use the cheap subs for commandcode and opencode go, havent hit my weekly limits using a hermes agent, prob just needed one 10$ a month sub. Still not there on mobile but it’s all I use on desktop and I tried every rss reader out there and only really liked frirss, a frontend for freshrss, but it still didn’t fit my needs. This one functions so well, i’m genuinely suprised because it was never meant to be good, just a test, and I’ve ended up with something I genuinely love using. Idk I hate ai taking jobs but no one was making this rss reader for me for 10$ a month. Why is the existence of this project an issue because AI was used, it works and works well for me better than any other rss reader I’ve used. It wouldn’t exist otherwise and I would be having a worse experience. What it made in 2 days is better than I could’ve hoped to achieve in months and my goal isn’t to be a dev, it’s to use the app I have in my head. To have the convenience I am seeking, which is why I seek out opensource apps in the first place. It’s never stable, always buggy, long before AI, but it fulfils my need good enough for free…
