#linux #distros #casuarina

I've been using Chimera Linux for some time now, and it's great. (The maintainer of it is a bit of a strange one, but hey-ho).

Chimera Linux is the Linux based on musl using the freebsd userspace. (This isn't anything new, Debian had an attempt at this with Debian-freebsd).

@wezm has created Casuarina which is essentially Chimera Linux with glibc rather than musl.

Very cool. I'll be looking into this!

Oh. A casuarina is a type of Australian Pine; I've never seen one (they're native to Australia), but thanks to all the #crypticcrossword puzzles I solve, I've heard of one. ;P

My fav Linux launcher / menu tool has a new release.

I contributed IME support for easier input of alternate character sets.

Every few years I'm like "whose DHH" and every fucking time I go and flip that log over I remember why I closed the page on that chapter.

I think https://omarchy.org is a HELL fucking no for me.

Fucking fascist prick slopware purveyor.

I might have a wait and see on Debian but I definitely have seen enough of this omarchy AI VC homeypot. Fuck that fascist shit.

Dear #Linux,

What are the remaining maximally useful alternatives to #Linux / #Debian with a strict #noAI policy?

What are the most important selection criteria for you and how do they do against those?

Packman to be discontinued? From the mailing: After 25 years, the time has come for us to hand over the Packman project. If no one is found who wishes to continue Packman, we will discontinue the project on 31/12/2026.

1. Debian Developer resigns from the project in response to the recent vote to allow generative AI use within Debian.
2. A member of the debian-devel mailing list sends the message at left in response.
3. I just sent the message at right in response to that.

good riddance, antoine the fascist. you love causing damage to the debian project and now you're throwing a temper tantrum like a five-year old child because you can't comprehend the ai evolution. you are nothing more than a deranged person who spits at people's work and expects people to follow their unhinged beliefs, a waste of human space. you are the one who is being fascist here.

Either the Debian Community Team officially, on the debian-devel mailing list, states that the message below from David Nickelson violates the Code of Conduct and imposes consequences on him for sending it, or I am resigning as maintainer of apt-listchanges and never again taking on any volunteer role within Debian. My contributions to Debian thus far have been extremely small, and I'm sure they will not be terribly missed. Nevertheless, I will not continue to associate myself with an organization which allows messages like the one below to be sent without repercussions.

So, what is the linux distro to look into, succeeding to debian? I use debian for so long i would prefer not to relearn a new type of wheel..

I want foss, and by the way, how do i know if any of the pending software has ai hiding in it?

Now that the limits and the citadel walls are crumbling.

@annantidote Take a hard look at #FreeBSD. No, it's *not* #Linux and that's a good thing.

NEVER SLOP

NEVER SLOP KITTO #neverslop

so, we have a winner, it seems: Proposal E

I actually am rather surprised while at the same time being not surprised: this is the option that says "keep the status quo but call whatever you do 'responsible'". A very #Debian thing, indeed.

It even mentions that slop is probably breaking copyright (while at the same time carefully wording to not even actually state that).

(edited to add: if you look at the Graphviz result, you’ll see that, after this option, the pro-slop ones have landed over the pro-life ones; this (it’s preferential voting) makes me sad)

So, what does that mean?

No rage-quitting, at least. (This is very much in the interest of the users.) But also no improvement. But also no official sanctioning of slop.

I cannot believe I am saying this, but I’m actually rooting for… Helene Fischer, the GEMA, and the german Medienanstalten… to save us, by getting courts to recognise these issues.

I cannot believe I am writing the above. This timeline is bizarre.

The bubble is also already bursting, but not fast enough, which is raising the collateral damage each minute it has not yet burst. (Here I mean financial, trust, etc. but for #FOSS specifically, it also means that LLM-extruded digital asbestos gets added to more and more codebasēs in growing quantities, which will be hard to recover from.)

What I would like to know is why such an important topic has, what, under 40% voting participation. smh

(the preliminary automated report by the voting tool does not give the numbers; the project secretary will do so within days, so this is a guesstimate)

Practically, what can we do?

Pretty much only this:

Ride out trixie without rsyslog (and without backports) until the end of its #ELTS, grudgingly installing kernel security updates. Avoid LPNs (npm, composer, pip, cargo, go get, etc.) at all cost (this is not new but now more important than ever). Use third-party repos only after manually checking for slop policies for both the repo and the softwares contained within (I had to split my own repo, I added a non-free component for ensloppified tomcat9 but kept the last one from before in the component with the main policy).

Check out unensloppified OSes as alternatives in parallel (seems to have only NetBSD as contender, among OSes capable of running similar enough use cases). Prepare to switch to unensloppified OS at any time, around 2035 at the latest. Do not hope that by then all the slop will be reverted from core system components (if it is, I will be pleasantly surprised, but right now, #Linux is dying).

Reduce computers and compute in your life.

And, if you can, fight this on useful levels. Not copyright licences, they ignore these and consent anyway. But: On a political level, up to and including guillotines, if you must. On an educational level, with friends, family, and even pupils/students. The younger generations are not lost. Make a worthwhile future, including human art, craft, crocheting, knitting, music, painting, woodworking, what have you. Doesn’t matter if it’s not good: it’s yours. Read books (from before 2020 or so). Go out, make train trips, cycle, garden, including fruit and vegetables. Care for your cats and other loved ones. And say no to fashtech.
