I just read @rasterweb ’s post about sharing code and it was poignant because I’ve recently stopped sharing my code. I’ve done this because I don’t want to keep feeding LLM’s, especially because one of my projects is intended to make them obsolete, but could be used in its incomplete form to their benefit.
I hate this, but I don’t know what else to do. Maybe I can share my code in physical form (a zine!) so that it’s very unlikely to be scraped into an LLM?
We work on federation. Please check out our monthly reports for more information!

I think, we need ethical, FOSS LLMs that value the author rights, e.g. crediting each bit where essential (non-trivial) information was taken from and, of course, obeying to licences! Thus, e.g., GPL code must be relicensed by GPL and not to be mixed with non-free (GPL-incompatible) code.

Computing freedom means ownership-of and expression-through both hardware and software. This can have many unfoldings, but its importance might convey the right idea: is the means to make computing technology be of service to the human soul (in the individual and collective sense).
I believe computing freedom has many aspects. When it comes to software, for instance, we should be able to view, modify, and share the code. Ideally, we should be able to easily switch to different software, like by using an open, common file format, so that no one is forced to stick with the same software.
Hardware is just as important. It should be easy for anyone to repair using simple tools, and as many parts as possible should be interchangeable. Plus, all the information needed to rebuild the product should be accessible to everyone.
