Given its extremely high energy and water consumption, the increased minimum system requirements driving premature hardware obsolescence, among other very problematic social and political issues, genAI/LLMs are not compatible with the values and goals of KDE Eco.
KDE is a diverse community and the opinions and projects of some KDE contributors are not representative of the entire community or KDE Eco projects.
This sounds like KDE Eco is a thing apart from KDE and not a core initiative or value for KDE as a whole. Which is kinda sad imho. I’d imagine a project promoting stuff like eco-friendly FOSS won’t let fly shit like the “ai-native desktop” bs, but here we are.
That’s just a side effect of it being open. Much more so as compared to Gnome.
So, while I may have my reservations regarding AI, I’ll not be trying to push out people making AI related KDE software.
Oh shit. I just read the context that post was made in.
Now I’m gonna have to filter through KDE applications myself, to determine which ones are usable.
