Putting shit in your food is OK as long as it is only a little bit of shit and you can’t immediately taste it.

    GNOME, the most boring DE is just about the only refuge at this point from LLM garbage…They aren’t particularly great for daily driving because of its usability hell over there. If I have to. I might eat a bullet and just use GNOME since they are against LLMs as a rule. If their contribution policy leans towards allowing LLM-assisted to outright vibe-coded contributions, KDE is cooked as fuck. Given that Valve and a lot of others use it as a default…It will be getting pretty messy over there. At some point, I will just have to make my own window manager and fuck off the pre-made shit, at least me learning Python and C will be put to good use that way. ROFL

    That whole thread right now is awful. Just awful.

    It looks like only 2-3 KDE devs pushback and the rest are thumbs-uping pro-AI points. Claims that LLMs are fine for the environment… Then someone got exposed for racism and misogyny among many other -isms and they claim that some of the participants in that discussion LIKE those posts… YIKES. It all makes sense why they are dying on the framework hill.

    Ok I’m not disagreeing with your point but in case you didn’t know that’s exactly how the food industry works. Every step of the supply chain is allowed up to a certain percent of contaminant and as long as nobody notices its “ok”. (If you like dairy don’t look up what kinds of contaminants find there way in…)

    Always fence-sitting, I’m so tired of the current KDE leadership, I’m genuinely stopping my donations now.

    “Hey KDE, Framework supports Nazis, can you not collaborate with them?”

    Nope sorry, we need the money for our AI experiments, we will put their logo on all our pages now and will beg them to pre-install us on their overpriced laptops. We love our LGBT community though, we made the latest mascot trans! Please forget that we accept money from people that want you dead!

    Slimbook, donates to or supports Omarchy, and still has ads on kde.org https://slimbook.com/en/blog/guides-2/post/introduction-to-omarchy-484

    Framework wants to preinstall Fedora KDE and KDE and Fedora leaders are super excited about it:

    “It’s really exciting to see this device become the first Framework device to ship with KDE and Plasma software. We have put a lot of effort into making sure our software is fun to use with touch and pen input.” - Aleix Pol, President of KDE e.V.

    There’s just no backbone, everything’s about money money money and money. All it will take is an Anthropic or OpenAI sponsorship for whatever mild AI guidelines to get repealed.

    What’s the alternative anymore? Cosmic is made by a hardware company, I have 0 trust in that. All it’ll take is a loss in profits for it to be abandoned. XFCE is full in on AI. LXQT is okay with AI contributions. Cinnamon moves way too slowly and has no opinion on AI. Gnome told Framework to kick rocks and has some strict anti-AI policies in some places but if I wanted a worse MacOS, I’d use MacOS. All the window managers are too barebones and the GUIs on top are all vibecoded. DankMaterialShell? Vibecoded. Noctalia? Vibecoded. Hyprland is naziware. Quickshell? vibecoded. Qt itself has AI assistants in its IDE.

    So really what’s the alternative? Windows and Mac are also vibecoded. Firefox and Chrome are also vibecoded. Even programming languages and compilers are being vibecoded.
