In regards to this, I must confess how often I forget how complicated screen readers are to maintain and set up and learn. I know how to get speech synthesizers that suit my needs, but you need to be in the community in order to know this information. I can hear other blind people saying, well, just use a screen reader, but in truth, screen readers are not easy to use nor easy to configure.

so i have questions about #Debian:
1. are members ONLY developers?
2. only developers argued for/against #LLM #AI?
devs are the last people who should be involved in discussions about the ethics and legality of software. ie:
just reckoned, when a court recently decided you can't claim #copyright on #aislop, it didn't occur to me it means both closed and open copyright.
so, if using #LLMs trained on works stolen or added without consent removes any claims of #FLOSS: what is Debian now?
harder than you think.

I have decided to shut down my #mastodon instance, and all my public facing web services.
This will happen in 3 months time, on November 29, 2026, to allow everyone to backup and migrate.
The reason for this is that I can no longer trust:
- the #Linux kernel
- #Debian
- rails
- most #Foss projects
Additionally, I'm basically out of storage, it is unaffordable to purchase more, and no one is interested in donating to help.
Our bastion of free computing has been poisoned by fascist gen ai slop, and basically NONE of it can be trusted anymore.
It's impossible to vet slop from an ecosystem that is welcoming of it.
This makes it nearly impossible to update my systems, which makes it harder to pretend it's even remotely secure.
I'm fucking devestated - gutted by what has happened to computing, and I just do not have the resources to keep fighting.
Fuck all you #LLM boosters into the sun. May you learn the folly of your way and DO SOMETHING TO FIX IT!

For the folks that haven't seen them supporting #AI yet. #LLM #AISlop
In an affront to creeps everywhere, Meta has started remotely bricking the smart glasses of wearers who try to secretly record other people. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/meta-bricks-perv-smart-glasses #AI #LLM
I celebrated this in the past, but I can’t help but think this is temporary and or a marketing gimmick that will go away after they receive money from something/someone tangentially related to any of these AI companies. Maybe I am too skeptical of this announcement, but I hope I’m wrong. All sectors of the tech industry, even open source, has proven time and time again that they do not care about principles nor their users, only about opportunity and breaking things and profits. I just simply do not trust anything in the Tech industry ever again.

"AGI" is not an algorithm. It is human thought and ideation decoupled from the individual and decontextualized. It is a Mechanical Turk with a long enough chain of digital intermediaries that perception of the intrinsic humanity in its operation is obscured.
