TL;DR: The big tech AI company LLMs have gobbled up all of our data, but the damage they have done to open source and free culture communities are particularly insidious. By taking advantage of those who share freely, they destroy the bargain that made free software spread like wildfire.
I think I’ve already said that.
Say, if someone is a very good programmer, that doesn’t mean they are better than a random drunk on any other subject.
But in FOSS they usually assume otherwise.
OK, it’s not scene being more mature than FOSS, it’s scene being normal and FOSS being less mature than in general.
Yes, well, that objective value direction is too a limitation. I’ve been reading one good book recently, still under impression (and probably will be for much longer). There are no good architects without bad architects, no good poetry without bad poetry, and no good contributions without bad contributions. And about usefulness for the whole community - a good system serves each and every use, not the majority use.
Similar to inclusiveness, except it’s ideological and not racial\medical.
In FOSS even something like PulseAudio or SystemD is spread by pressure. No, it really doesn’t matter which advantages they have in someone’s system of values or in all systems of values possible to describe. Only the pressure matters while it shouldn’t be there.
