Example of KDE dev rejecting environmental consideration:

Example of KDE devs not wanting to require LLM use be disclosed.

And all of this is coming right after the debacle with an AI slop project being allowed to give a presentation at Akademy, and the person asking how this was allowed being blocked by KDE:

as well as the discussion thread bringing up legitimate concerns about AI usage being closed:

As someone who genuinely loves KDE, and has even donated to the project multiple times, I sadly have to accept that the majority of KDE have hopped onto the Pro-AI train, and they will not be dissuaded otherwise.

    By the way, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Desktop_Environment is a fork of KDE 3, but that has no support for e.g. dark mode.

    Oof, I didn’t remember that one existed, and has even better extendability than KDE (and tabbing support, which I love), but yeah, there are some problems as that one.

    I think I’ll try to support them in any way I can, and to contribute with anything I can.

    I know about programming and computer sciences (I’m studying that), although I don’t know anything about actual coding, and I have some big-ish amount of architectural ideas (although I don’t know how good these are).

    I’m also a music producer and sound designer.

    I hope I can make at least a bit of difference.
