                                      If you want to avoid FOSS which uses GenAI/LLMs, there's a guide called "AI-free FOSS Alternatives" at:

                                      🏡 codeberg.org/ethical-foss/ai-f

                                      It's heavy on technical terms and detail, so it's good for comparing different projects and navigating least-worst options, but does require some prior tech knowledge to understand.

                                      It also has a section listing reasons why LLMs are problematic:

                                              Amazing you ask "where did i do this?" while you use the term "GenAI" in the first sentence of the initial message.

                                              Also amazing how you evade to talk about the specific example i already put and give your own example of technology that makes cognitive discharge for humans, i guess you are hoping other examples can be sustained as better points for the discussion. Unfortunately you are wrong, all technologies are imperfect, specially at the beginning. Electronic calculators also had errors, news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1 their results where sometimes "unpredictable" youtube.com/watch?v=RMWwbvSmQnA
                                              Also many technologies before did "steal labour". I guess you don't work today as manuscript copyist because the printing press completely destroyed that profession, you probably neither work as weaver because the automated loom also erased that profession and i could go on with hundreds of examples ending with the example you gave of calculators. Many human calculators did work in projects like decrypting enigma machine or calculating rocket trajectories at the Apolo program, that profession doesn't exist today. Are you arguing we should reject also all those technologies that "steal labour"?, or only the one you don't use? Is funny because probably you use the output of LLMs without noticing, for example if you anytime check weather forecast that are usually automated today.
                                              About the "hand over control of discourse to billionaires" part, you can't blame that on technology itself, that's exactly what billionaires want you to do. Billionaires use many tools and all their power to get "control of discourse" like for example buying mass media and bribing politicians but i don't see you blaming internet or politicians about what billionaires do.

                                                LLMs are telling people to put glue on pizzas, eat rocks and claim there are two Rs in "strawberry". These are basic errors. It doesn't work, it is junk.

                                                  Yes, i linked a couple of errors on a couple calculators, not so obscure. I can link you hundreds of errors on other calculators despite most of the errors occurred on the development of that technology never arrived to the public because in those times it was embarrassing for companies to sell an immature product, not like today it seems.

                                                  Just don't use LLMs to ask for a pizza recipe, please. Some specialized models with some specific software around it (they call it "harness") and under very specific circumstances can be useful for very specific tasks like for example code review, but nothing more so far. Don't try to argue that LLMs are unethical because people deceived by propaganda try to use that technology to ask for a pizza recipe.

All technologies are "deceptive" in some degree, specially at the beginning. All technologies are "disempowering" for some people but empowering for others. All technologies are potentially "destructive". I dare you to name 1 single technology that can't be "destructive" used in the wrong way, as the ruling class (billionaires) is building and using LLMs today.

                                                    I don't see you refusing all human technology as you should do if you want to be coherent with your discourse. I can tell so far you are using computers and internet and electricity, all of them very "destructive" technologies in the way things are done in this reality we face. But things don't need to be necessarily as they are now. All technology could be build and used in ethical ways if people used more their intelligence and less their selfishness.

                                                      There are some things that are worse than others. LLMs are substantially worse than the technologies it is trying to replace, partly because it doesn't do what it claims.

                                                      All that LLMs do is spit out a statistically-likely answer based on what humans have written in its "training data". It has no ability to analyse or reject anything, that's why its answers are so often wrong and self-contradicting. It's junk.

                                                        I didn't notice that LLMs were "trying to replace" (broadly) any other specific technology. I thought it was doing (mostly) things that none other technology to date could do. Please educate me if i'm wrong.

                                                        I agree completely that LLMs are statistic machines but that's not a point to reject completely that technology, much less to blame the technology for the bad use some people make of it. The problem i see is that this technology have been sold to us by the millionaire class as "intelligence" and that's a very misleading and dangerous lie. Nobody should trust completely on the output any technology provide, specially on the early stages of development. LLMs and the tools around are still on early stages of development just in case you don't know. That technology is being sold as mature while clearly is not. Is improving fast but yes, is being "junk" for a long time and many people have being deceived not by the technology itself but for the big tech propaganda to try to desperately sell us an immature product. Things don't need to be necessarily like that, our stupid society make things like that, don't blame the technology.

                                                          A question for anyone to answer—

                                                          Do you know what the source said for Ren'Py's last untainted version? Nitter has been taken down; that's where the source link in the guide goes.

                                                          I guessed the version would be 7.4.5 from the dates RenpyTom might have had access to the experimental LLMs. But that isn't solid evidence.

                                                          In the ethical-foss's guide, 7.4.6 is listed.

I've seen how this anti-Linux discourse (specifically this time with the anti-"AI" excuse) comes in coordinated waves with the same script on several different media. I've being discussing with them and only inside mastodon i've detected so far 3 anti-Linux trolls, 1 of them recognized he hates Linux, another recognized he was trolling. Also detected one bot spreading that kind of anti-LLM FUD against Debian (a Linux distro) which is hilariously contradictory if you think it.

Il partito non c'era ma c'erano i suoi candidati nelle liste di altri partiti (nel mio seggio in AVS). C'è da fare lo sforzo in più di seguirli e accettare il compromesso di non stare dando il voto solo a loro per come funzionano le preferenze comunque

Io sono entrato nel Movimento da poco, una volta che ha chiarito da che parte sta, e si è evoluto parecchio! Gli errori e le infiltrazioni ci sono stati, ma resta il fenomeno dal basso più interessante degli ultimi anni. Vi consiglio di guardare gli interventi che ci sono stati a Nova (la convènscion cinquestelle) e il programma che ne è nato.

                                                                                                                                          I metodi usati per convincerti che sia un fenomeno dal basso sono esattamente gli stessi che ti convincono che ti serve un certo prodotto e quindi vai a comprarlo pensando che sia un'idea tua.
                                                                                                                                          Al momento il prodotto che stai comprando è Giuseppe Conte (personaggio di bella presenza ma di posizioni quantomeno questionabili): lo compri perchè rientri nel target della campagna pubblicitaria.
                                                                                                                                          La campagna pubblicitaria è stata costruita in maniera diversa da quella del 2018, perchè usare i metodi del 2018 adesso non porterebbe gli stessi risultati e quindi bisogna massimizzare il target: questo è quello che viene venduto come "evolversi" rispetto a problemi passati - che naturalmente non sono presentati come problemi del Movimento ma come infiltrazioni, qualcosa di esterno di cui è possibile liberarsi e una volta che ci si è liberati il Movimento rimane puro.
                                                                                                                                          Nova rientra nella macchina costruita per dare l'impressione di un Movimento che nasce dal basso, le idee presentate sono state lungamente seminate con slogan ripetuti in tutte le possibili salse negli ultimi anni fin che le persone non si sono ben convinte che fosse farina del loro sacco.
                                                                                                                                          D'altra parte anche presentare come "dal basso" un'operazione che tra "convènscion" e votazioni online coinvolge comunque e sempre un numero ampio ma proporzionalmente limitato di individui, fa parte della strategia.
                                                                                                                                          Tutto questo per dirti: ti stanno felicemente manipolando.

Altrimenti resta un'opinione, e tale opinione si può applicare a qualsiasi organizzazione politica! Io sto partecipando, già solo portare certi temi (software libero, realtà indipendenti, arte come lavoro etc) all'interno del gruppo territoriale rende questi temi visibili, se vi sta antipatico il movimento fatelo in qualsiasi altro partito ma partecipate e portate la vostra voce, perché votare serve a poco se non c'è un cambio culturale.

Io capisco la sofferenza nel votare questa sinistra, con una direzione del PD che non dà segni di vita e una dirigenza M5S filoputiniana e populista. Solo che quelli dall'altra parte sono anche peggio, molto peggio. Sia chiaro, non ne faccio per forza un problema di conservatorismo contro progressismo: io penso che ci possa essere un conservatorismo del tutto degno di rispetto. Il problema è che non è quello espresso dalla classe politica di destra italiana.

                                                                                                                                                                Lo scopo era far conoscere ai cittadini il costo reale delle prestazioni rispetto al ticket che viene pagato, non so se sia così anche adesso.
                                                                                                                                                                Molte persone non hanno idea del costo effettivo delle prestazioni erogate, che spesso ammonta a diverse migliaia di euro.
                                                                                                                                                                Il messaggio che si cercava di trasmettere era: non lamentarti del ticket, guarda se non ci fosse la sanità pubblica dovresti fare un mutuo per curarti.

People have not cared about the quality of their work in tech for many years. I would say the decline really began around the start of the Great Recession, although there were issues before that.

"Find someone to maintain it." People don't want to do that. Trust me. If they did, you'd see more forks of slopified projects that aren't text editors.

A mentality that I think in past was tied more with Windows and commercial OS, and then crept into FOSS more it become popular within years.

I'm not just talking about software but physical products as well. The real "enshittification" came after 2021 or so, but the decline began already somewhere around 2015.

I submit that at this point, UNIX (inc. Linux) has been around since 1972, is absolute bedrock for modern IT, and should be considered load-bearing infrastructure. Expecting everyone to drop everything and migrate to a new way of doing things every 5 or even 2 years is utter madness.

TBH I don't much care so long as my preferred window manager is available, but shockingly nobody has reimplemented WindowMaker on Wayland so I am still running X11.

One reason they sometimes adopted Linux is because they wanted something they could mostly disconnect from the internet, keep on a prehistoric version and maintain for the lifetime of the attached machine - which was often 30 years or more. Some of them are still on DOS by choice.

The ability to start with an X11 session is being removed in KDE as of 6.8 and was already removed in Gnome 50 this March. I don't think there's much of a war when the two biggest desktop environments are dropping support like this.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The first is the anti-Luddite narrative. It essentially states they were were ignorant anti-progress craftsmen who smashed up machines and inevitably lost. This is essentially the “official” narrative.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  The other is the pro-Luddite narrative. It states that skilled workers correctly recognised that industrial capitalism was destroying their livelihoods, resisted exploitation, and were brutally suppressed by the state.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Both sides actually contain elements of historical truth. It wasn’t as simple as them being good or bad. A lot of context is left out.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  What’s left out of both discussions I think is the unique socioeconomic conditions that made the movement possible to begin with, and honestly a story of how violent revolt doesn’t always work out in favour of the people.

This part gets neglected by both pro- and anti-Luddite camps.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    For context: the Luddites were a group of knitters, woollen croppers, and cotton weavers in northern England in the 1810s. They were not just a bunch of random anti-industrialists.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Most importantly, and I think this gets left out a lot: the Luddites weren't prosperous artisans who hated that machines existed and took their jobs, and had a mass crashout. Their economic situation had been deteriorating for decades. They were pushed to the breaking point by circumstance and the intersection of several complex factors, not just industrialisation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    To start: the historical record shows wage disputes and petitions going back to the 18th century, long before the famous Luddite uprising.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    One of the bigger things that made conditions so dire were the Napoleonic Wars. The Napoleonic Wars wrecked trade in Europe, destroyed export markets, and caused food prices to skyrocket. This put pressure on already poor and marginal workers.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Also, dress preferences were changing. Men’s stockings fell out of fashion, and trousers were becoming popular. This actually matters enormously; the Luddites were slow to adapt to these changes in fashion, and knitting also simply wasn’t needed in trousers. The decline of hosiery was already threatening their livelihoods.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The framework knitting labour market in northern England already had more workers than was required. Oversupply of workers was a chronic issue. Too many people entered the trade even before the aforementioned declines. (Edit: it’s worth noting that hosiery companies at the time also kept a chronic oversupply of workers on purpose, so they could easily hire in boom times).

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Wider knitting frames and cheaper manufacturing techniques and machines reduced the value of traditional knitting skills and the whole ecosystem around it. This put pressure on an already stressed group.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Workers had already tried petitions, negotiations and collective organisation, with little success.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    These weren’t all consequences of industrialisation. Some of these were independent economic shocks that made the introduction of machines far more threatening to them.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    In essence, industrialisation wasn’t the original cause of their impoverishment. It was one of several forces accelerating an existing crisis.

It was not just about wages and machines. This complicates the familiar image of a unified proto-Socialist movement fighting industrial Capitalism; these people had a tradition of protest far predating it. It also complicates the idea that these workers simply wanted to preserve an economically sustainable way of life. Some of the conditions they wanted to be restored had already been undermined by changes in trade, demand and labour supply.

Breaking expensive machinery could impose major expense on employers, discourage particular production practices, and demonstrate that workers possessed collective power. And also, sometimes it did produce concessions.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    For example, Nottinghamshire hosiers and knitters reached a wage agreement in December 1811. However, some employers refused to honour it, and the attacks resumed.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    That said, their strategy had some serious structural issues.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    For one, destroying machinery didn’t address the underlying economic crisis. It couldn’t fix the export markets, reverse fashion trends, or fix the fact there were too many hosiers and knitters or associated tradesman in northern England, particularly Nottinghamshire.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Second, it couldn’t permanently prevent mechanisation. Even successful attacks on individual manufacturers did not eliminate the financial incentives for adopting cheaper production methods. It was simply too efficient.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Third, escalating violence exposed the movement to overwhelming state power. The English government has a long and storied history of suppressing popular revolt, and this was no exception. This was also the era of the Bloody Code, where over 200 offences were theoretically capital crimes, particularly property crimes. Parliament made machine-breaking another one of these capital offences in 1812. Troops were deployed, workers were executed, and others were transported abroad. I will talk about this more in a moment, because it is worth discussing.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Well actually, people at the time explicitly argued that threatening the Luddites with execution could make the situation worse. Parliamentary debates illustrate that opponents warned that capital punishment could make witnesses less willing to testify, strengthen the Luddites’ secrecy and solidarity, and fail to address the underlying economic distress. Even Lord Byron spoke against the legislation in the House of Lords.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Yet, others argued that severe punishment was essential to restoring public order and deterring attacks. There was an obsession with public order in this era, and a belief in violent deterrence.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    But also: the Luddites themselves sometimes threatened informants with death. They actually killed suspected informants. Which as we all know, an angry mob surely will never get it wrong. So… it wasn’t like the state were the only violent actors.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    It’s also worth noting that the Luddites existed before modern democracy. Britain was overwhelmingly run by the nobility and wealthy classes. The people had essentially no voice. Most people couldn’t vote, and in many places elections were outright a sham. There was agitation already against this, and the Bloody Code was a reaction to protect the upper classes from the wrath of the people. (Edit: there was also a belief in the time that deterring property crime was paramount to preserving order, and that deterrence through transportation abroad or execution was the correct means. It also helped populate Britain’s colonies abroad and in their view removed “undesirable” people from the country, so there were incentives to preserve the system. Justice at the time was even more classist than today — even as bad as it is — and your station determined not only if you got justice but the social class of the one committing the crime also determined the punishment, if any.)

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The Luddites are best understood in this context, I think; other forms of bargaining, action, etc. weren’t likely to be effective. They hadn’t worked before, anyway. This in addition to their existing traditions of popular protest and informal survival strategies on top of desperation virtually guaranteed a brutal response.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    However, it is worth noting that violence caused the government to impose a settlement it already favoured: imposition of state power to preserve the system and change nothing. It is best understood at the time that the wealthy and the government were one and the same, more so than perhaps even today.

I argue this is a distinction necessary to evaluate Luddism properly.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    A desperate worker can have legitimate grievances, hate their exploitation, and still adopt a strategy that ultimately makes their situation worse.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Likewise, technological innovation can improve overall economic productivity while inflicting devastating, uncompensated losses on particular communities.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Both of these things are true at once.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I argue it’s possible to sympathise with the Luddites without treating every tactical decision they made as justified or successful.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    But I also believe that there’s a certain unjustified romanticism of their struggle in hindsight. Their objectives weren’t necessarily equivalent to modern aspirations for universal labour rights or broadly shared technological prosperity. Some demands involved preserving established trades, customary wages (wages at the time were largely fixed and dictated by custom), and skilled workers’ control over entry into their occupations. Yes, back then, as now, traditional craftsmen largely gatekept and controlled access to their occupation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    That doesn't make them an illegitimate movement, and there’s parallels to today, but it makes them historically specific.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    I would argue the modern analogy is more complicated than people want it to be.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    Obviously, much of the renewed interest in the Luddites comes from debates about AI and automation.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    People understandably see parallels between 19th-century textile workers and contemporary professionals confronting technologies that threaten to devalue their skills.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    But the historical lesson isn’t simply that automation is bad, or that workers should or shouldn’t resist it.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    In my view, it raises a more difficult question: what happens when an economically vulnerable population already in crisis experiences technological displacement, without institutions capable of distributing the benefits or cushioning the losses?

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    When people can’t collectively be heard or have their grievances addressed adequately, they may resort to tactics that demonstrate their desperation without actually improving their bargaining position.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The tragedy is that the Luddites had real economic grievances, but neither their attempts at negotiation nor their subsequent violence produced a lasting solution.

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    The broader lesson in my view isn’t necessarily that revolt is futile. It’s that having a justified grievance, possessing collective power, and having a viable strategy for changing economic institutions are three very different things.

Also the variety! The pointy red oaks, the curvy white oaks, and I even have a shingle oak, which I wouldn't have known was an oak.

Critters tried to destroy it after I planted it, so it’s heavily protected until it gets better established. It recovered pretty well this year and has some really pretty leaves. It’s more of a shrub than a tree, and once established is supposed to form a thicket. I’m looking forward to that, hopefully. 🤞🏽
