I really hope rsync is free of slop.#NoToAI

@onepict@chaos.social Seems it's time for an LLM-free Linux distribution, perhaps forking useful projects before they went off the deep end.

Nooooo not rsync as well. ðŸ˜#NoToAI Confirmed:https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopwarehttps://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/commit/aa142f08ef31d3ffa8d6b3b8af16d00324a98c1bhttps://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/commit/b905ab23af2d71363271e99e446e8fe0bfc77f7f

@abucci @onepict If you want to have an LLM free Linux, the first requirement is forking the kernel.https://lwn.net/Articles/1041694/https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/26/greg_kroahhartman_ai_kernel/

@ck @abucci yep been aware of that one for months since the LLM that the stable kernel folks use for selecting patches bungled up networking in stable which broke multicast.We can still be open about our dissent.There's a lot to think about what it takes for a forking. Intention as much as code.

@onepict @abucci Forking the kernel for the purpose of keeping it LLM free is completely infeasible, which makes an LLM free Linux distribution a practically impossible undertaking. The option option LLM free Linux is gone. You can be unhappy with that, you can make your unhappiness heard, but that's not going to put this particular genie back in the bottle.

@abucci @ck I don't think it's great for anyone to have fatalism about this or frame it as it will always be everywhere.If we accepted that kinda thing then Free Software wouldn't have got started. We need to be unreasonable.Where we find hope is where we can fork what we can. Linux is a huge undertaking because of the mass of developers that contribute to it.In our ecosystems all we can do is try to limit the damage. Every little thing we do helps

@abucci But then you know how I feel about AI and LLMs. Particularly with the arguments some LLM boosters love to make.Framing it as an inevitability is a rather pickup artist way to manufacture our consent to just accept it.I don't accept that we do have to accept it. We can express dissent and organise to find alternatives and mitigate the damage in our communities.https://dotart.blog/cobbles/ai-and-that-guy-at-the-bar

@onepict@chaos.social I'm there with you. I understand how enormous an undertaking it would be to do something like fork the Linux kernel. However, acting like we're trapped because it'd be hard is premature surrender, and I don't think anybody who actually cares should be advocating for that. I question the motives of people who talk this way. I'm old enough to remember all the people who said Linux would never be accepted, there'd never be a viable alternative to Windows or Office, etc.

@abucci @onepict I have had a lot of conversations about what to do when things get shitty, and it's more or less the same patterns with relationships as it is with communities. Probably because they're relationships. First you try to ignore shit, dismiss it as something minor. I'm way past that.Then you try to talk about it. That requires people to take your arguments seriously. I'm not getting that when there are conflicts.Which means the only thing left is...

@abucci @onepict ... to walk away and leave the past in the past. Otherwise it'll eat you up.I have given up in this way on large chunks of the FLOSS community. Mostly that means I will try at most once to talk, and then cut my losses if it comes to nothing.But that doesn't mean giving up on the rest.
