While I would normally give the /e/OS founder the benefit of the doubt, it looks like the AI nonsense has pushed him off deep end.

Over on Mastodon, Duval announced the release of a new version of ElixirOffice.

The project is 100% vibecoded with no human contributions. Just human supervision.

I almost wrote that things "spiraled" but that is a loaded word. Duval defended himself.

Made a comment about "idiots":

(I guess idiots is people that don't like AI)

And told another user to "Go Fuck Themself":

Briefly, I considered a hacked account. But...

AI is the most powerful technology ever available for humanity and I wish the good people embrace it too. Not only the bad.

In his own words, he is living in a different world:

In the end, the real tools were the "AI" boosters and simps we made a long the way...

[-] bananabread@lemmy.zip 29 points 5 days ago

ffs. First proton, now this. Were running out of options.

It's also getting really tiring having to swap part of my stack every few weeks.

At least for email I now have it with a custom domain and can more easily switch if that becomes necessary... Changing phone OS is always a pain, even with root&backup solutions.

This one hurts especially, your customers are people that picked a phone for ethical reasons, they raise ethical concerns, you tell them to go fuck themselves... And I don't even know with all these things, maybe I could even grudgingly live with a product where they use LLMs "responsibly" or something, but then they always have to go off the rails with the emotional maturity of a 5 year old and how could I trust a company with such a person in charge...

[-] Gyrcas@piefed.zip 1 points 41 minutes ago

I am thinking of soon buying a domain for emails and other self hosting things. Any tips? I was thinking of buying the domain on porkbun

[-] RodgeGrabTheCat@lemmy.ca 22 points 5 days ago

Dude is in deep. I'm so glad I don't have /e/OS installed.

[-] GreatBlue@infosec.pub 16 points 5 days ago

Well, I was already thinking about switching from /e/ to lineage, so I guess now I have a very good reason to get it done...

[-] thatsTheCatch 13 points 4 days ago

Lineage OS accepts AI contributions, too. See their AI contribution policy.

Alternatively, Nura (previously postmarketOS) does ban AI contributions

[-] The_greatest_ahole9@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Well the thing is with Nura, it really doesn’t have any good software support unless you plan on using everything in a browser. It also doesn’t support Verizon and other carriers with IMEI whitelisting. Unfortunately it still has a long way to go until it’ll be an actually good and functional mobile operating system.

Now I'm afraid of getting a phone with e/OS

[-] 4nas_imperat0r@nord.pub 14 points 5 days ago

Sigh.. I only switched to e/os/ this year since Google was starting to lock me out of certain apps (I sideloaded basically everything since hell no I'm not using the google play store if I can avoid it). I missed that android encrypts your SD card unless you back it up to pc with a usb cable and lost all my files. I am very hesitant to switch again, but it certainly looks like I unfortunately am going to be forced to in the very near future.

I really want to get off mr. Bones wild ride... :(

[-] Sergio@piefed.social 8 points 4 days ago

later he says:

Interesting experience with the anti-AI zealots today. Do they really think there can still be a world without AI? 🤔
Their proposal: either you are using AI and therefore you are a fascist. Or you never use AI, never ever.
My proposal: let's make AI better.

Clearly he wasn't taking any criticism seriously.

[-] LammyToGo32@lemmy.zip 11 points 5 days ago

Glad my old Motorola with /e/OS is powered off in the drawer

[-] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 10 points 5 days ago

The Mailings tab is back: write a letter, load a CSV list, preview each recipient and export DOCX or PDF (merged or one per recipient), offline. (It shipped in 0.5 but didn't appear)

It... "shipped but didn't appear". Great.

[-] FuyuhikoDate@feddit.org 3 points 4 days ago

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
