Okay. If the LibreOffice promotional posting about their "keep AI optional so people can do office stuff without it" stance was persuasive to you, and you gave them money, you have been defrauded. And you should demand your money back. And we should all be ever more skeptical of carefully-worded "nuanced stances." No money for quislings. https://circumstances.run/@davidgerard/117510420175177743 https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2026/09/03/yes-no-ai-is-now-a-feature/

@MaddieM4@raphus.social so many people are just not writing code anymore because the clanker can give it to them immediately. there's barely anybody left who works by hand anymore. I don't know if any group authored project won't be this way now. we would need to build our own operating systems and applications from scratch, and even then I suspect somebody would be quietly prompting in the background. It appeals to a very basic appeal for the quick and easy solution that people can't resist. it makes me sad.

Oh and I have to keep saying this, but I do not want to hear a fucking word about how "projects need committee leadership, that would solve these problems" when COMMITTEE-LED PROJECTS DO THIS CONSTANTLY. While usually being irreplaceable because of infrastructure investment in ways that individual-led projects are usually not. I hate to have this chip on my shoulder but I'm so done at this point.
