❤️ what what

Aaaand that's another slopper blocked!

A GNOME developer chimes in:

That's a really good start! As a GNOME developer, we outright ban AI contributions altogether due to environmental reasons. I know these are guidelines, but could there be some considerations on mentioning environmental concerns? It should align with KDE Eco.

In which one KDE dev replies:

-1 on my side for mentioning environmental concerns; I don't think it's the LLM contribution policy's job to cover that at all.

Yeah sure! If I ignore every bad thing about something I can absolutely gush about how good that thing is!

People can be morons, but at least they're not authority cocksuckers!

Hell, Jacob Coxon, the guy who they cannot stop talking about, is a huge rationalist.

Its cults all the way down.

David Gerard's response to that response:

bro it's out there with your name on it, it's not "deceitful" to notice the URL and logos.

if you go straight to claiming commenting about the contents of your own damn website - and you're responding literally to me linking it - is "deceitful", a hit dog is hollering.

instead, please describe the process by which such an AI slop proposal - clearly chatbot spam - even gets this far.

In which KDE didn't bother to answer and proceeded to block David Gerard.

Not a good look.

Pretty much.

And not before they called David's post pointing out that THEY are hosting that "event" and showing it on THEIR OWN webpage "deceitful"...

...when they could, you know, simply not host it there in the first place.

This entire thread is a shitshow, one that is saddening to see.

KDE blocked David Gerard on Mastodon for that thread btw.

You keep speaking in extremes and absolutes

YOU are the one that immediately jumped to porn, shithead. You DON'T get to decide on talking about extremes and absolutes.

One look at their agents.md says otherwise

The rep who handles their masto account is very well spoken and presents rebuttals of value so I advise you bring your A game.

Yeaaaah like deleting their earlier posts to make themselves look better and claiming the "haters" are coming from K*wi Farms.

Truly good rebuttals right here!

The OP of that reddit post is literally the owner of that "uncensored" subreddit lmao. It is almost like he got shooed away from the regular subs for a reason or something.

(Namely him being a massive-ass troll and overall a prick to free software developers. Those "1000x worse replies", while I believe are absolutely made up, would be entirely warranted.)
