    No one wants to ban technology outright. What we’re saying is that the big LLMs are actively harmful to us, humanity. This is not fear mongering. This is just what’s happening. OpenAI, Google, Microsoft, and Meta are stealing from humanity at large and setting the planet on fire to do it. For years they told us stealing intellectual property on an individual level was a harmful form of theft. Now they’re doing the same kind of theft bit its different now because it benefits them instead of us.

    What we are arguing is that this is bad. Its especially extra bad because with the death of big search a piece of critical infrastructure to the internet as we know it is now just simply broken. The open source wonks you celebrate are working on fixing this. But just because someone criticizes big tech does not mean they criticize all tech. The truth is the FAANG companies plus OpenAI and Microsoft are killing our planet for it to only benefit their biggest shareholders

    Mate. You’re the one who says this open source app isn’t relevant to a community discussing open source software. The burden of proof is on you to prove its not relevant. If anything this project is as core to open source as it gets. This person wanted to explore a part of their computer system, picked a target for how to make something happen, did it, and then shared it.

    Concluding that you’re a homophobe isn’t based on ad hominem attacks or straw man arguments. Its based on that you have NOTHING substantial to say that this doesn’t belong so the rest of us have to figure out what the hangup is and the only thing we can figure out is that its controversial because its about LGBTQIA+ pride and you don’t like that. We’d love to reach a different conclusion but you haven’t given us a lot to work with









    1. No better time than the present
    2. Yes there are ways of acquiring the latest packages even on Debian stable. Usually I end up compiling that stuff myself
    3. If you’re at all unsure if you want to deal with Debian not pushing the latest and greatest updates you do have options such as running Debian Testing or MX Linux (which itself is based on Debian Testing)
