I want this but as a Linux distribution.

I think #debian has you covered.
Didn't encounter an AI there 🤖 🤖
Edit: ooh, you meant as tool to create the system, not as part of the system....
Never mind... 😄

@mcc Taking an undifferentiated position against genAI tech as whole is about the stupidest thing we - as “the left”™️ - could be doing. The same is true for software engineers btw. (1/3)

[martin207@mastodon.social]

I love object oriented C (no not C++) but it is not sustainable to use it for most tasks. I enjoy writing python code, but for simple CLI tools Claude is much faster at it than me and delivers high quality whe steered correctly. Do I have a local setup with devstral running on solar power already? No, but I certainly plan to have that in 1 year from now. (2/3)

[martin207@mastodon.social]

Of course there’s way too much bullshit software being created and using genAI to do that l while consuming vast amounts of resources is a problem, but that doesn’t mean Anti-AI is a valid position. (3/3)

@mcc KeepassXC as well? I have a hard time as it is to trust a password manager. It seems I have to write my own?

[x2ero@ieji.de]

@csolisr @mcc @WideEyedCurious @Lingmops There is, with Linux AT least. Its called 'pass'. IT basically keeps the passwords as gpg encrypted Text files. IT can handle Otp.

@lunarloony @nina_kali_nina what I'm using is old school, open source, self hosted and ai free: https://www.passwordstore.org/

[debacle@framapiaf.org]

@mcc

A stritcly #AI free #Linux distribution would need to be an #AIfree #BSD or #Hurd distribution in the long run. AFAIK, the Linux #kernel itself might have some AI assisted code already. They have a strict disclosure policy, though:

[mkoek@mastodon.nl]

@lhengstmengel @lunarloony @nina_kali_nina ooh interesting, didn’t know about that, thanks

[mdione@en.osm.town]

@menel @mcc such as?

Hint: to me, tools like digikam's face recognition system do not count as "AI".

[tris@chaos.social]

@mcc @AerynOS is AI-free ;)

[pinjontall@sfba.social]

@nina_kali_nina @luana @mcc oh for fuck's sake

[pink_cyberdragon@tsukihi.me]

@itamarst @mcc hopefully that includes Verification Driven Development tools

[varjolintu@mastodontti.fi]

@mcc KeePassXC has merged only a little bit of AI-assisted code, not in any critical parts. And there has been no merges of that kind of code since last November. KeePassXC is not preferred to use AI code, but they require people to let them know if they are trying to push code that includes it. It doesn't mean the code will not be reviewed before it's even accessed. Majority of the developers are NOT using AI. Read their blog post.

[rebtoor@social.rebtoor.xyz]

@nina_kali_nina @luana @mcc FFS

[varjolintu@mastodontti.fi]

@mcc Also, the main difference is that KeePassXC at least tracks the pull requests where AI-assisted code is used, and they require it. There's no way to confirm the same with Bitwarden. The pull request may or may not have been using AI. There's no clear track record how long they've been using it.

[lhengstmengel@mastodon.nl]

@mcc @jcnotwit the unix password manager does exactly that (and much more) and has an otp plugin, works fine. https://www.passwordstore.org/

[lunarloony@dosgame.club]

@amin I do like the sound of the passwords being individual files. It'd make syncing them a whole lot easier!

[not_a_label@toot.lgbt]

@nina_kali_nina @luana @mcc oh FFS!!!! 🤬 I guess it’s back to KeepassXC and trying to sync across devices 😔

[aerynos@hachyderm.io]

@tris @mcc we are trying to be.

We recently introduced a policy of no LLM contributions with exceptions if people need to use LLM for accessibility purposes.

It's probably impossible to declaratively state all submissions are 100% human created but we have our stance and hope people will respect that and we will also reject submissions if we doubt authenticity.
