Hi. I’m neurodivergent and I love computers. I probably emotionally depend on them a lot besides other interests like art. FOSS and Linux world felt like home. I do not use(as little as possible) any proprietary(or related to AI in any way) software. I feel raw disgust towards those. I feel like all stability in life is gone now that Linus has AI “brainrot”. What can I even do? What can others do? “Fork it”? “Rewrite it”? Okay, I’ll wait like 35 years. But being serious I feel lost. BSD family doesn’t feel like a solution for me. Everything else is experimental at best. I’m certainly not touching Windows or Mac ever again. Should I consider running something like older Debian exclusively to at least “conserve” myself until solution comes up or things change? I almost never post, but I ask you, the digital void, for advice. I don’t want to feel this way.
We can relate in feeling that tech is our home. It’s the only place where we get gender and identity validation. It sucks to see it being slowly robbed by us, by the very people who were part of inventing it.
