FINAL EDIT: We've been making good progress with EVi! We've fully settled on version 9.1.0 with no AI code, we're on IRC @ #evi irc.oftc.net, we've gained a lots of popularity and we've been working on fixing tests and removing platforms that are deemed exotic with other cleanups. Thank you to everyone who has supported us this week!!!

Fuck AI.

EVi, a hard-fork of Vim v9.1.0 (Jan 2024) before AI was used in the project.

I thought about calling my fork cvi (for "Community's Vi IMproved") and starting at version 10.0.0 and making release dates be months, not days.

Made an issue on how this should proceed.

https://codeberg.org/NerdNextDoor/vim/issues/1

How does this continue?

In light of the events taking place on the upstream VIm repo, I hard-forked from release 9.1's code. Here's the plan I have including some options. The plan involves eventually renaming to CVI (Community's Vi IMproved), using year and month for releases instead of year, month and day. We'll...

Made a pull request to small-hack/open-slopware to add #VIm to the list.

Free/Open Source Software tainted by LLM developers/developed by genAI boosters, along with alternatives. Fork of the repo by @gen-ai-transparency after its deletion.

Updated my fork to 9.1.2073 before the release of it, specifically, the last commit before the AI commit.

The first commit by me to the EVi editor, a fork of VIm before the AI slop.

Introducing, the beginning of development on EVi 10.0. (Intended to leave behind VIm 9.1/9.2.)

Beginning of EVi version 10 ยท 99d7fe9468

From today onwards, we distance ourselves from the upstream VIm by branching off from the last commit before AI was used. This will take a lot of work, but I believe in this project.

I also aliased #Vi and #VIm to #EVi on my MacBook and HP laptops.

EVi will be my main terminal text editor from now on.

#EVi is now on irc.oftc.net! Come out hang out at the 'evi' channel!

I also plan Matrix and Fluxer later on!

How I built Fluxer, a Discord-like chat app

Fluxer is a free and open source instant messaging and VoIP platform built for friends, groups, and communities.

@lumi This one... honestly, I don't know what to say.

Fluxer is the only thing better than Discord by a long shot even if it was LLM written in a small way.

My opinions on this are skewed.

Like yes, involvement probably wasn't that heavy.

Yes, it might have been the only way for a single person to do something like this.

But still it's an LLM...

I'm so conflicted right now, I don't know what to do.

Using slopware is a tradeoff instead of having age verification forced on me...

@mrmasterkeyboard i feel like we need a federated open standard for messaging made by the queer leftist community for the queer leftist community

once i have the headspace i'll do more in that direction
@lumi iirc i think i saw this exact idea somewhere... idk if it was you, but still, i like this idea
@mrmasterkeyboard i have posted about this before, yeah

i flip flopped a lot back and forth over the years of how i would approach it, whether i should do it as a matrix client (decided no), do it as an xmpp client (possibly) or do my own protocol

using deltachat also gave me some inspiration and changed my views a little. messaging protocols are a bit of a special interest of mine x3

i haven't used discord since 2017 and i only used it for a couple hours because i got horrified at it storing message logs on the server in plaintext. my views on this did soften a bit but i still think discord is down there with telegram as one of the worst chat platforms. everything it could do wrong, i feel, it does do wrong

@lumi i wanted to make my own chat platform once... i can't remember the specifics but it was like a twitter... fuckin discord... 4chan... idek hybrid with email, irc and skype in the mix

i don't know what the FUCK i was drinking but yeah.
