Linux kernel devs use AI. This post is clearly that XFCE and Brian Tarricone are bad because AI bad. It is therefore hypocritical for commenters in this thread to continue using the Linux kernel if they are going to apply this standard consistently.

Because money

How easy it is to have maximalist positions on the internet, where they never have to come into contact with reality.

Why should I take what you have to say seriously when you can't even be bothered to read the entirety of my post where I agree AI is bad and this doesn't make it go away

I suppose you'll be moving off of Linux then, as the kernel devs have made their stance on AI quite clear.

The above commenter was calling into question my character because I had just created my account today. The definition of ad hominem I'm familar with:

"Attacking a person's character or motivations rather than a position or argument."

The commenter seems to imply that because I created my account recently, that my argument is therefore somehow not valid. I would consider that the be an attack on my character or motivation, rather than addressing my position. Would you agree or no? May have been a bit of an editorial stretch on my part, but it certainly doesn't call for you actually calling me names and insulting me. I'm just here for some banter. Your comment is obviously malicious, and I think you're better than that.

Edit: yep, downvote and move on. Exactly what I thought. Classic potato behavior.

I can tell when I'm not welcome. I'll see myself out.

Have a good day.

Come on now, you didn't just cross post this over here without adding your own editorializing. We understand your take, it colors your opinion, thats ok. Don't walk it back now. Own it.

We're not talking about you, you can do whatever you want. I'm talking about publicly naming and shaming developers for using what is now a widely accepted tool.

Creating a callout post isn't standing up to anything, it's just noise. You get special internet points for it, but it doesn't mean anything and again, diverts responsibility from the people who built this fucking Torment Nexus in the first place.
