You can’t say “we have no AI apps” if you don’t have a way to constantly be checking and guaranteeing that.

Huge parts of society rely on mostly unenforceable honor rules and it works. Never 100% of course, but it does.

Answering myself wrt F-Droid:

tl;dr: the situation appears very similar to what I describe in my OP.

• They seem very focused on fighting Google’s recent shenanigans and getting funded, and FOSS of course.
• I found no mention of AI whatsoever in their CoC
• I found no mention of AI whatsoever in their list of anti-features, and this seems to be the biggest indicator to me.
• Not in their Blog either (by title, going back one year) but my search engine gave me this article, which seems to have been removed since: Home much of F-Droid is LLM-generated.
• There’s a forum post asking a similar question with some very predictable drama. Straight out the door some “contributor” ridicules OP’s reasonable question in that typical, passive-aggressive smiley emoji coder way. Just what I have experienced. Thankfully other “contributors” at least see the value in pondering these things. While the question is never fully answered, the thread contains some interesting links to how other FOSS projects position themselves.

I found an important clue in the latter:

the watered down "Open Source AI Definition” that Mufelli pushed through the OSI.

https://opensource.org/ai/open-source-ai-definition

Straight away I don’t agree with it:

Why we need Open Source Artificial Intelligence

I’m guessing this is to be seen as a quasi-official stance to AI that most F(L)OSS will adopt or at least base their own policies on…

apps seem like they were most likely made with AI.

Thanks but I was thinking about their actual policy, regarding.

that means somebody would have to be manually monitoring it and investigating

I don’t think we have to go that far just yet.
Speaking from experience, there’s quite a bit of self-policing within such communities; a clear positioning from the project helps a lot.

pretty good

I’m not sure what compromise I would strike if I was in their position, but I don’t like how everybody in IT basically accepts that some AI usage is fine.

I know why and I don’t want to argue about it.
It just makes me sad: “ethical arguments aside, you have to admit that there is some benefit…”

What people used to say about Google. Took over a decade to discover that maybe these things they “put aside” for something that delivers convenience for free, were pretty important after all.

Linke gegen Reiche

…will die Regierung rund 50 Milliarden Euro einsparen. Eine angemessene Besteuerung der Reichsten aber lehnt sie ab.

Immer die gleiche Leier. Wie lange geht das schon so? Ich glaube der Kalte Krieg war alles in allem besser für die Soziale Marktwirtschaft als das hier.

They say we’re all clever and classless and free
But we’re still fucking peasants as far as I can see

Thanks.

That’s much more pedestrian than the wild ideas zipping through my mind when I saw the term.

Of course I can totally get behind this.

My KDE experience has been nothing but nice so far, like the whole project is nice.

Not a ray of sunshine coming through, no shape to the clouds, just uniform grayness, no rain even? It feels like the sky is hanging too low and there’s something wrong with your eyes, like you didn’t notice you left your laptop at 25% brightness since last night. For weeks on end. Starting now until December or whenever the first snow comes. If it comes that is.

It may seem like relief when a too-hot summer is still fresh in your mind, but have you ever even experiened that and still say you love it?

So, it takes normal Israeli Jews being attacked to realize how bad the Israeli government really is?

OK, I’m bitter. of course I’m glad that this is getting tons of public attention and I hope everybody involved in the making of Naza stays alive and well, and everybody else goes and watches it.

Is it available by now btw?

Die Evolution ist auch umstritten.
Oder die Schwerkraft.
Oder der Holocaust.

Im schlimmsten Fall sagt das Wörtchen “wir trauen uns nicht Stellung zu beziehen”; im besten Fall “diese Type spinnt aber das dürfen wir so nicht schreiben”.

es braucht mutige Entscheidungen, Dinge klar zu benennen.

Ich bin da ganz bei der Autorin. Unumstritten.

Letztenendes läuft sowas ja auf Naziweißwäscherei heraus. Nazis bekommen Gegenargumente auf dem Silbertablett vorgesetzt: “also nur weil man ein bisschen umstritten ist greifen alle immer gleich zur Nazikeule” - nee, wir sind bloß 99% zu höflich zu dir.

Add to that unbroken cloud cover 24/7 😙👌

I always mean opensource, openweight models not OpenAI/Anthropic/X-AI crap

Honest question: is it even possible to separate oneself completely from AI’s multifaceted exploitation by using “FOSS AI”?

And if yes, does such ethically acceptable “FOSS AI” exist?

Could someone tl;dr what “picking enterprise as a goal” means for KDE?

And then they say liberals/dems/leftists are the ones who want to make Orwell’s 1984 reality.

Giving the current vector you aren’t even leaning out very far.

Ich hab mir das mit den Backslashes hier im Reddit-artigen Fediversum angewöhnt (angefangen habe ich auf feddit.org). Ich schätze mal dass irgendeine ältere Version der WebUI das nicht vertragen hat, spätestens die erste schliessende Klammer wurde falsch interpretiert.

Nötig ist es nicht mehr, habe ich grad bemerkt, auch auf Piefed nicht. Dennoch, Backslashes in Forward Slashes umzuwandeln ist in diesem Zusammenhang schlechtes Softwareverhalten.

Sieht so aus als hätte Lemmy meine \Backslashes\ (die hier korrekt sind) durch normale /Slashes/Schräge ersetzt. Hier funktioniert alles primstens.

edit: warum bitte wird man hierfür runtergewählt?

???

Hmm. Vielleicht habe ich ein bisschen übertrieben.

Aber ist es wirklich der Geschmack oder das Aussehen? Wenn das ordentlich eingeschweisst ist sollte es eigentlich keine Geschmacksveränderungen geben, und für temperaturempfindliche Oberflächen sollte man zumindest im neuen deutschen Sommer vielleicht einen kühleren Lagerraum finden.
