    @mewsleah The same back at you tbh.

    Your point as I understand it is that there is no need for a ban because nobody cares. (Based on the fact that nobody will use NetBSD because of the ban?)

    My point is that I do not believe that nobody will use it because of it. Hell I'm seriously considering switching my Laptop away from Linux r/n, the only thing that's stopping me is energy/time, not that I don't care. So your "all the people" is already proven wrong by my existance alone. That was my point a)

    And even if by "all" you didn't literally mean everyone but the commonly missused (and populistic rhetoric btw.) way of saying "a lot of people of not clearly defined quantity", my point b) adresses that as it doesn't and shouldn't matter how many users use something morally and ethically good, it still stays worthwhile to do. Only capitalism doesn't honor that.

    And the solution here is to finally finish our fight against capitalism.

    @the_moep your understanding of my point is, sadly, completely wrong. i mean, completely wrong.

    i am very much in favour of a ban, and as soon as i can overcome my inertia i will be switching to NetBSD as much as is practical because of their position.

    what motivated my reply to you is that you appeared to be arguing against switching to NetBSD because you didn't think their ban was strong enough. i was attempting to point out the absurdity of that position.

    I see, well I did not understand it like that (obviously) as you literally argued for the opposite of what you actually wanted to say. Just saying what your point is is way easier in non-verbal communication...

    @mewsleah
    Also thinking about it I do not agree with your actual point either: If better solutions exist, I think one should support and use those. Because if you didn't you would show them that you don't actually care about them banning generative AI and thet might stop upholding such a ban.

    On the other hand: If you use them you are showing all which don't have such a strict ban that it's worth it going with it as people clearly care.
