politics

What is far-right software?

Codeberg is fighting far-right forces and declared themselves political.

That's very interesting for a GitHub alternative.

Ever seen far-right software? I wonder who those forces are.

I always thought that the average dev would be too smart for polarisation and that it did not really would work in our world. But let's face it, a lot of normies joined the space and we get their normie problems.

AI can be far right, it's when you add that pinch of salt that changes everything.

I've read the Codeberg blogpost on LLMs. I can understand where they are coming from too and even agree with some of it.

As far as xlibre, it's amazing. I've been running it on two different machines for months. There's really no reason to ever switch to Wayland since xlibre started. The great irony of all these far leftist/cat-fem-boi types with their programming socks is that by pushing Wayland, they're pushing the big corpo-shit IBM/Redhat instead of the small, independent true grassroots xlibre project just because xlibre refuses to be political.

As fun irony, I use forgejo (what powers codeberg) to host all my LLM generated slop:

I also ran into this src.rpm issue in their package repo:

https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/12840

I thought about submitting patches, but they have a strict no-LLM policy an their package repo API kinda sucks anyway, so I think I'm going to just used Pulp instead: https://pulpproject.org/

Pulp's UI is practically non existent and their documentation is god awful, but the LLMs can make sense of all of it and have helped make migration and setup scripts, and I might use them to create a new UI too.
