Smell that?

Pretty sure that’s a fat wad of AIPAC money in somebody’s bank account…

I’d prefer them not to warn. Fuck these tech giants.

I’m sorry for your loss internet friend.

Out of the loop… who is this reptilian?

They’d be awfully upset if they could read what you just suggested.

Ah bummer. The good news is that I just checked how the dev team for funkwhale is moving along with the refactor at a decent pace. Right now it’s in a Release Candidate phase. A nice summary of where things are at so you don’t have to dig through the weeds: https://dev.funkwhale.audio/funkwhale/funkwhale/-/milestones

Tin foil hat time: he’s dying and he’s speedrunning as many neocon wishlist items as he can.

Hey, don’t besmirch Don Bottoms! He’s a good man just trying to keep his Labubu farm afloat during these difficult times…

Totally. For shits and giggles, I’m gonna see how quickly I can get something simple slapped together in OpenShot this weekend. I have zero experience with it, but if they’re touting no AI of any sort, they might have me as a user.

Sorry, you’re 11 years too late for that one :)

I’m currently building an ethical alternative to Substack (they have a nazi problem on their platform). It’s going to be a Fediverse app. No idea when I’ll launch that, but I’m determined to get it launched sooner than later.

Otherwise, I’m a gun for hire on building custom web based software for any business that needs my services.

Hmmm… well, since I won’t seek out the external tooling for their local AI stuff, I suppose I can keep going… still feels kinda icky lol

No it isn’t. The guy WHO RAPED CHILDREN DOES NOT HAVE A MORAL COMPASS YOU FUCKING CORPORATE MOUTHPIECE.

THANK YOU! Yes, it should be broadcasted with pride! Hell, even proprietary software should be using it as a selling point if their company and offerings are 100% AI free. People don’t want computers to be the touchpoint of the companies they’re giving money to.

I’m a senior web app developer by profession, and AI literally took my job last year in April. I’m unable to get a job to this day. Over 80% of the jobs I get notifications for want people like me to either use AI tools in my workflow, and/or the company is peddling their AI powered horseshit as the penultimate business decision their target audience will die without.

I am pivoting to making a living building open source, AI free software at this point. I can’t look myself in the eye if I support the broligarchy that’s killing the environment.

Please update on that when they respond. I’m in the same boat where I am learning to use Kdenlive and man… I really don’t want to find out they are contributing to the ecological damage associated with GenAI.

Way ahead of ya. I think my vpns IP triggered it.

No worries, it’s probably doing that due to me never getting off my vpn.

I live here. Yes and yes to both of your assessments.

Yes please
