Linux

guess its time to move my desktop off of kde.

this is a pretty big change for me because it has been my default desktop enviroment since i first got into linux

As a Gnome developer, we outright ban AI contributions

Well yeah, their shit already looks AI. AI + AI = ???

EDIT: it's also just that one dev's decision which doesn't matter because RedHat, so using "we" here is literally false

Wonder how much money did get Nicco from the South African racists if he's going all in on the brain-rotting LLMs...

In my view having a healthy discussion about this is a good thing. People will always have different views in many things, and it is natural that a common ground is achieved by having a honest debate about a given subject.

With the above in mind, hardline 100% pro or 100% con points of view are usually wrong and counterproductive, and even framing the discussion that way is harmful. I hope the discussion leads to a good and reasonable outcome.

Quite annoying. As an RHEL user. I reject AI.

So when will we ban code snippets? And autocoplete? Actually, lets go back to punch cards already!

I'm seriously getting sick and tired of this topic. AI is a tool, if you don't like it, don't use it, but let others do what they want. I hate vibecoders as much as I hate full anti-AI haters since both are equally wrong. AI is a powerful tool and the next step for assisted coding, but that's it, do not let it do all the work and just allow it to work on it's own without double-checking what it is actually doing. If you prefer to type everything yourself, letter by letter, go ahead. If you found an AI that produces perfect output that doesn't need any adjustment/corrections, send me a link. If you have no idea what you're doing, I do not want your code on my pc, no matter if you wrote it yourself or let an AI generate it for you and anything in-between. It's that simple. Or at least it should be.

And if the environment is your biggest concern, LM Studio is free, so is Qwen, Gemma, Mistral, GPT-OSS and a ton of other models that you can run locally on your PC. You will need a somewhat powerful PC and some more patience than with the top models running on almost unlimited resources in a datacenter, but they get the job done eventually nontheless. The job of assisting you, that it, no vibecoding! They'll break your stuff even faster if not kept in check.
