I envy your life, as it feels like every year the browser assimilates and consumes more and more.

No that’s true, open source is superior is proprietary

“Let’s remove the social element of our social movement”

Great so what’s left at that point, the free value FOSS provides to corporations?

Criticizing people’s past and current actions relating to the subject and bringing up their direct history relavent to the subject is not a personal attack, nor is it out of line to point out he does his to advance his political agenda within the project, which is why he got banned in the first place. All of this directly relates to the subject at hand.

You know what doesn’t relate to the subject at hand? Your random little “sjw gender terrorists” comment. But it does make it rather clear why you want to obfuscate the facts about Srid’s history with the project, subsequent ban, and continued amplification of drama and general shit-stirring ever since.

You made one reply to me whining that I attacked the person by pointing out his beliefs, and then made another reply to me about “gender terrorist SJWs”. Do you just lack any form of self-awareness?

I attacked his beliefs which is perfectly valid. You should critically examine the motives and biases of people who feed you information.

You should know that the guy you cited in the second link, Srid, is a well-known right-wing shit-stirrer who is banned from basically all NixOS spaces because he cannot peacefully coexist. He literally gets up day after day with the seemingly sole purpose of fueling drama and causing problems. Don’t take his opinion at face value, he wants to see the project burn down and this colors his interpretation of events.

NixOS is going through a rocky moment for sure, but there’s no indication it will implode currently.

We don’t believe that at all, we believe privacy is a human right.

That’s just a different way to phrase what I said about defending the good side of encryption.

Offline uncensored LLMs already exist, and will perpetually exist

I didn’t say they don’t exist, I said that the help and harm aren’t inseparable like with encryption.

We don’t defend tools doing harm, we acknowledge it.

“My point is that if you want to have a consistent view point, you need to acknowledge and defend the harmful sides.”

If you want to walk it back, fine, but don’t pretend like you didn’t say it.

What the fuck is this “you should defend harm” bullshit, did you hit your head during an entry level philosophy class or something?

The reason we defend encryption even though it can be used for harm is because breaking it means you can’t use it for good, and that’s far worse. We don’t defend the harm it can do in and of itself; why the hell would we? We defend it in spite of the harm because the good greatly outweighs the harm and they cannot be separated. The same isn’t true for LLMs.
