@mrmasterkeyboard @xinit if you refuse to acknowledge #ahitposters and their hate as legitimate but just respond calmly (if at all) you'll make their blood boil, heads implode and frustrate them the most.

• Besides the "optics" of being a level-headed #maintainer who doesn't waste time trying to argue against those that already made up their minds is just professional.

I genuinely want evi to succeed, because this is an important stance to take:

• If we allow the #Enshittification of fundamental tools in #tech we'll run the risk of being unable to maintain even the core functionality of ibfrastructure and systems.
  • Because the longterm ramifications of using #vommits of #AIslop / #SlopCode are not just unknown, but already happening incidents based around "#AI" / "#VibeCoding" show that this is at best extremely fragile…

In fact, I want simple and auditable systems - espechally in critical infrastructure - and it needs to be reproduceable and maintainable.

• With human-written code one usually gets comments or can reason things out easily.
  • Worst-case even ask the original author "Why did you do that?" because an "AI" cannot take or face #Accountability or #Consequences per design!

#EVi

@mrmasterkeyboard @xinit the #RightToFork is elemental to #FLOSS and necessary for #OpenSource to exist.

• As much as I'm not a fan of seemingly abandoned forks of my works, I am not in the position to restrict or ban those.
  • And people OFC have their right to make a #fork whenever they want to do so!

We ain't criticizing corporations that maintain outdated inhouse forks out of principle, and I think that #evi isn't a "fork for the sake of forking" but actually does things different and apparenty "irreconcileable" to the mainline Project.

• This is how #Innovation is born.
  • See #NetBSD, #OpenBSD, #DragonflyBSD, #OpenZFS, #Illumos, #Waterfox, #TorBrowser, …

Nit to mention EVERYTHING IS "#POLITICAL" - including "apoliticalness"!

Also, to add to this entire thread.

If it seems like we're doing nothing for hours on Codeberg, there's a high chance we're on IRC. You can find us @ #evi on irc.oftc.net!
