Je change d'instance. L'occasion de refaire une #introduction. Je suis un vieux libriste (utilisateur de #debian depuis près de 25 ans), adhérent à l'@aprilorg@pouet.april.org (bien sûr !), #webdev et (un peu) #sysadmin sur mon temps pro. J'ai la chance de mettre mes compétences au service de la #recherche médicale publique. Je suis touche à tout, notamment #autohébergement, #mécanique, #vélo, #potager, #couture, tout ce qui peut se faire soi-même, se bricoler, se réparer.

Hi Mastodon! I'm Ahmet, a developer from Türkiye. The operating system vulnerabilities of the past months made me want to build a safer Linux distribution and raise awareness about hardening. That became SedirOS, a hardened Debian-based server distro. 1.0 shipped this week. I'm here to get feedback and find out what's still missing. #introduction #linux #debian #infosec #selfhosted

As I predicted in https://ploum.net/2026-10-01-pascal_wager.html , not taking a strong stance against the use of LLM in your project is exactly the same as taking a strong "use LLM everywhere" stance. There’s no middle ground. #Debian

is demonstrating this more quickly that I even envisioned by now forcing packagers that upload to NEW to receive an LLM feedback about their work. https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/10/msg00263.html?pow_referer= You can still "opt-out" but for how long? All of this is so predictable and preventable…

RE: https://floss.social/@josch/117507580019985725 The collapse of the #Debian project is going faster than I thought it would. I was disappointed and horrified by the earlier vote to allow LLM use, but even then, I had no idea it was going to get this bad this quickly. Forcing all package maintainers to jump through an LLM hoop to upload their packages is scary reminiscent of companies forcing job applicants to jump through LLM hoops to keep their job applications from being ignored. At this rate Debian will soon be gone. @paelnever@masto.es #Linux

For now, I will no longer be uploading to the #Debian NEW queue. And yes, I will now go outside and do something nice instead of trying to argue on mailing lists about #LLM use in #FOSS. Maybe do the same. The weather is great outside. :) https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2026/10/msg00263.html

Not sure I can run #bazzite. It doesn't feel like a #linux #distro made for someone who knows how to use a computer. MultipleFrankenstein'd package managers, etc. Now that I know the #framework hardware is working, I might just install #Debian I just hope I don't rue this when I try to run some games...

@bytebro@mastodonapp.uk #UKLaw and #EULaw have not followed in the footsteps of the U.S.A.. The two legal approaches (3, in fact, as Japan has another one) are divergent, and the U.K. and E.U. are already on another legal path where the fundamentals differ. They already have laws. In fact, their laws came first. The relevant U.K. law was passed when Rishi Sunak was Prime Minister, for historical context. The E.U.'s was the year before that. The fundamentals are things like exactly who is being legally required to verify, record, provide, and act upon information about people's ages. U.S.A. laws put these onuses on different classes of people than do U.K. and E.U. laws. Japan is different again. One 'fun' part is that the U.S.A. laws differ on this from state to state, but #Debian Developers (and their counterparts in other Linux-based operating systems) always match the definitions regardless. Because they are both operating system and app store providers. #AgeVerification #USLaw

I've loved #Debian for years. Decades, really. The main reason for that is it's always seemed, to me, to be the best place to actually control and own your own computer. That trust is gone for me. We can talk responsible, not responsible, whatever. The fact is, LLMs are trained on the hard work of billions of people, and put into a blender and sold back to us. It's more separation of workers from the fruit of their labors, to the profit of capitalists. That's not even getting into the environmental impacts, the bias in it, etc. And especially not getting into the horrible, HORRIBLE people in charge of it all. I do not want that on my laptop, folks. I just don't.
