Are Anti-AI Linux distributions practical? (lemmy.ca)

I have been using Linux for over 8 months now, and my primary distribution of choice was Debian.

Debian recently conducted a community vote on allowing AI contributions, and it ended up allowing responsible AI contributions.

What is this responsible? How can AI commits be responsible? There are thousands of reasons to not use AI, and the primary reason is AI is a thief.

How did you react to Debian's decision? Did you switch distros? Which one was your option, and why?

Also, when the Linux kernel itself allows AI commits, is there any practicality in a Linux distribution strictly limiting or restricting AI commits?

I have no serious usability issue with Debian now but am concerned about the use of AI even in my Linux distribution. Should I keep going with Debian or consider any other distribution, as I only have 8+ months of experience as a daily Linux user? I tried almost all Linux distros and am comfortable with everything except Void Linux and highly complex ones like Gentoo.

while still promoting copyright for copyleft’s sake.

What the hell.

Copyleft means "the absence of copyright", not "copyright wielded by radlibs".

    Words have different usages among different groups of people. Wikipedia seems to support my use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyleft

    TIL radlibs' holy scripture smears copyleft. The page reads like it was written by a bourgie copyright advocate.

    I should have known, radlibs' holy scripture was founded by ancaps after all.

    That's many new words for me, seems some groups of people also have no usage of words that others use!

    I value software freedom; basically being in control of your own computing. I dislike others taking my code and then denying their users the same freedoms they enjoyed. If not for that I could do without most of Copyright as it is today.

    You don't get what copyright is at all. The bourgie propaganda seems to have convinced you that "copyright protects you from copyright and if it weren't there nothing would protect you from copyright"

    For some people, it's easier to imagine the end of the world, than to imagine the end of capitalism the copyright system.
