Yeah, character customization makes me happy...Gets me immersed into a title.
I will have to look into Infomaniak myself, as I am still uncertain about them myself. A company can do good things to mask the not so great things going on in the background...I won't make up my mind yet. Honestly, I just view the GenAI vibe-coding of software to be slop, the use of the hard work of others (often scraped from open source projects) to fuel a not healthy movement in open source. I will not be touching a single one of those tainted warez, a funny note is that the corpo made and peddled models are already coming out with restrictions to stop people from doing this. Because, that would mean corporations would be facing the consequences of their own actions, as they have abused their customers for years. It does give me the ick, but, this is a natural consequence of tech that was pushed to market way too fast without actually considering the ramifications of doing so. China and other countries are essentially doing a nasty surveillance and likely cyber-crime related stuff true, but with their own economic system powering it (despite them losing money on AI).
I feel very much like a Luddite in many respects about technology; I can't see anything good about the current state of so called AI (really gassed up LLMs), it's causing too much damage and that our political systems cannot fully restrain because politicians aren't able to keep up with or are being bought by the technofascist elite. I think that I will never see anything positive about the tech, even if they do clean it up. As...The ability to exploit, manipulate, generate so much nastiness within a short span of time is disturbing.
Unfortunately, there are also a lot of projects that do indeed have some elements of vibe-coding/or LLM-assisted programming. The Linux Kernel itself is being tinkered with using LLMs, that spreads a taint to every distro by default (at least those who use the mainline kernel). Even systemd is being developed using LLMs, most distros incorporate that init system within them, so that also is another source of taint. Which is why I had been trying to install Gentoo, while they do use a slightly older kernel...Their default init system, OpenRC has a no AI commitment. I might try to find another distro that is at least a bit easier to install and without systemd so I can feel less awful about using Linux. Maybe, Chimera Linux (and eat the musl libc tax). The reason why I say taint, is because I worry about the code being generated, how it cannot be properly licensed and it will add technical debt over time. People might not be able to explain or understand that code in the future when LLMs will possibly be abandoned.
Not a good look to be honest, with Bazzite I found two instances of direct use of Copilot. Copilot Use One, ujust commit and Copilot Use Two, feat(portal). I could probably find more if I tried, but, they are clearly eager to use Copilot for things that a person can easily do. It would just be 'boring'. This is the direct distro which is built using ublue-os (the foundation of Bluefin and Aurora immutable distros too as Bazzite is directly related to both of them), fundamental parts of Bazzite being affected by LLMs (often called AI). But again, I don't use Bazzite, so no skin off my nose.
Yeah, I think kindness will go a long way towards making life easier. Just having low cortisol discussions. Like, I hope that I am not talking in a charged way in this case. I am sharing what occupies my mind on occasion. ROFL Ugh, it is a strange time to be alive.
