I code and do art things. Check https://private.horse64.org/u/ell1e for the person behind this content. For my projects, https://codeberg.org/ell1e has many of them.

  • This is the Linux foundation generative AI policy: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/legal/generative-ai

    Linus Torvald’s position appears to be “Linux is not one of those anti-AI projects” and “AI is a tool, just like other tools we use”.

    I don’t understand how you could possibly conclude from that, that it’s just used for reviews. The are so many contributors, and if there is no central policy of not contributing LLM code, it seems inevitable to me that there is a lot of LLM code going on.

    Or why wouldn’t it be? Where do you get that confidence from? All I can see is that many involved people avoid admitting the seemingly rather obvious extent of it.

You may want to apply tdm-reservation: 1 or similar to leminal space’s HTTP requests: https://github.com/Vxrpenter/AIMania?tab=readme-ov-file#avoid-ai-crawling To avoid user content being turned into slop.

Apparently this flag potentially holds some sort of weight, at least in the EU, not that I could tell you with any certainty. But it might be worth trying, just in case.

(Disclaimer: not sure if there is a scenario where this is actually harmful, this isn’t legal advice.)

I’m sorry if this is just me, but last time I checked I had pretty good color vision, I wear glasses but otherwise do occasional advanced visual work, and so far I guess aging hasn’t had the biggest impact on my sight yet:

But yet, I needed around five tries to get through the leminal space account signup captcha. Not only can I barely make out anything in many of the images, some I didn’t even attempt to solve, but for those that I do it still failed me. I have a feeling it likes to use letters where the capitalization is ambiguous, but then requires strict capitalization, or letter o vs number 0 or something like that.

This seems like a barrier that might be a problem for some people, given I assume a huge amount of the population has significantly worse eyesight than me, even though mine isn’t perfect.

Or it’s just me! But I wanted to bring it up in case it’s not.

I’m working on various open-source projects, among them this one, and I’ve been thinking about making a commmunity for it, perhaps leminal.space/c/Horse64 or similar. For both contributors and users to talk about questions and new changes.

But it’s not really an openly leftie or anti turbo capitalism project, beyond the fact it’s intentionally non-commercial, community driven, and anti-AI in that it doesn’t accept AI-driven contributions.

Would this be considered too off-topic?

Other places like programming.dev don’t seem to have a strong enough anti LGBTQ+ hate policy or other vibe reasons why I’m not eager to anchor it over there.

Sorry, I hope this is the right place to ask, and I’m probably just being silly and missing something obvious. But is it possible to set the default language for my own posts?

The reason I’m asking is, the language list is fairly long when I write a new comment or post. Scrolling to “English” is cumbersome, and by default the language’s unset for my own posts. I don’t want to filter the posts I’m seeing, just mark mine since I imagine it’s helpful for others.
