I frequently see "AI" boosters implying that LLMs are simply an innate and superior part of coding now, inescapable, and that literally all programmers agree with them. And, well. That, too, is a form of propaganda
Looking at my software peers in 2026 I see fatigued faces, I see frustration, and I see a lot of people looking for a way out of an industry that seems poised on the brink of collapse. LLMs are being pushed on us at every turn, most people seem at best frustrated by them, and ultimately they seem to appeal most to people who see the production of software as a purely mechanical means to an end. They are antithetical, however, to the idea of software as a craft, or something requiring both initial and ongoing care. As an expression of the soul.

Bluesky is not a safe space for trans people. Trans people regularly get suspended while transphobic people are protected, labels get removed, moderation lists get hidden. It's not an accident that it keeps happening.

I tried MATE’s Wayland session on NixOS but it is unfortunately not usable. The appearance panel and logging out don’t work. I don’t know if this is due to MATE’s implementation or NixOS’s packaging, but I have to try something else.

Maybe this would change if I ever get around to doing a clean install of macOS. There’s years of garbage that I should just wipe all at once. I have Nix now to help with configuring and installing most software. I just need the time…

@ihaveahax@furry.engineer @ihaveahax.net · 25/09/2026
It would be cool if this could become my daily driver. For various reasons I’ve become pretty distant from macOS. I don’t enjoy using it as much as I used to.

Most of the hardware I care about, like GPU, works very well. 120hz support was added at some point, making it feel even smoother. Linux really flies on this.

A few days ago I decided to re-install NixOS Asahi, and give it a larger partition, so I can give it a proper try as a replacement for macOS. I figured this was the perfect time since Golden Gate deleted the boot entry. So far, it’s performing very well on a 2021 MBP with M1 Pro.

I’m not interested in having this discussion in my mentions. I complained about KDE because I do not like any acceptance of generative AI. Please discuss whether or not it is OK somewhere else. I blocked the other person to make them go away.

I’m not interested in arguing with you in my mentions on a post complaining about something I don’t like. Please leave me alone.

I forget that feeds exist because I don’t use them, so fair point. However we still have no other connections, so it’s still a random person coming into my mentions.

I know you searched KDE and found my post about it, because we have no other connections. Why are you doing that instead of literally anything else?

@ihaveahax@furry.engineer @ihaveahax.net · 24/09/2026
I can and will hate it for as long as I can. It’s not inevitable or the future. The big AI companies WILL crash and burn. You’re free to feel however you want about KDE and AI in general, and I am free to hate it and complain or find alternatives. Leave me alone.

So again fuck off with this gotcha.

@ihaveahax@furry.engineer @ihaveahax.net · 24/09/2026
It’s possible to be as anti-AI as possible without it being “well I use this one thing that uses it so I must give up”. It’s a very annoying argument made usually by people that want me to give up.

@ihaveahax@furry.engineer @ihaveahax.net · 24/09/2026
Like I have posted before I am very busy and have limited time and choices to find alternates. I use an older rsync version before AI commits, for example. But Linux is both more essential and also something you don’t want to run older versions of due to security concerns.

@ihaveahax@furry.engineer @ihaveahax.net · 24/09/2026
Because these are all reasonable things for a random person to do, obviously!!! I hate this gotcha of “you use linux”. Linux is not an easy thing to fork or replace. But lots of other things definitely are.

Generative AI is a fundamentally bad and destructive technology that has absolutely no beneficial uses that don't outweigh its massive negatives. The world would be better if it was completely obliterated. If we lived in a world that respected art, it would not exist.
