What makes Artisans Cooperative different is not just what it offers, but what guides it.

As a member-owned, member-run, and member-benefiting co-op, it is rooted in fairness, inclusion, and protecting what handmade really means.

Supporting artists is about more than what we buy.

At Artisans Cooperative, the cooperative model helps create a more community-driven space for independent makers and a more thoughtful shopping experience.

I saw a wild take where someone said distributions are fascist for using systemd because systemd now uses Claude for code review.

okay. fine, I guess.

but if we are rejecting dependencies that use AI tooling, where do we go?

seriously. where do we go?

if the Linux kernel is using AI tools for codegen, then where do we go?

FreeBSD? I would put money on it that they use AI tools.

OpenBSD? NetBSD? HURD?

do we hard fork every dependency that is now tainted? do we even have the resources to do it?

FreeBSD and Illumos are the only ones reasonably close in the tech tree and I suspect both use AI tools too, as their development, like Linux, is driven by capital.
