@davidgerard what always bugged me about llms in FOSS is how reliant it makes you on big software-service companies, which i thought was exactly the thing free software as a movement wanted to avoid in the first place. i have my qualms with the FOSS movement but it really feels like they're blatantly not even bothering to stick by their own principles anymore

I wonder -- did LLMs just happen to hit at a time when maybe the second generation of Open Source authors were starting to run out of motivation?

Writing open source software was always a thankless job, but over the last decade or so, it maybe feels like the open-source _movement_ has lost a lot of the excitement and counter-culture energy that it used to have. What's the last open-source project that made waves and made people excited?

@skjeggtroll @typhlosion i concur, open source fully corporatising certainly feels like it would only have helped the chatbot decay

OSS is dead.
I vote for a new subsection of software - Libre and Unburdened Software by Humans, or LUSH

I.e. : #NetBSD is #LUSH

(Happy to replace "Unburdened" with another word... It's the only one I could fit for now 😄)

"Unfettered"?

Not bad!
I think I'd like to get away from the "un-" prefix to be honest. Otherwise it could be read as "free from the burden of humans" or to that effect.
Thought about "Unique" but that feels like limiting.

Unburdened like in "without shitloads of bloatware and vibecoded software"?
If so, I'm in! (not necessarily talking about systemd and the linux kernel, don't put words I haven't said in my mouth ;) )

@typhlosion@denden.world @davidgerard@circumstances.run AI assisted open source should be called FUSS for Fucked Up Source Software.
