They allow LLM contributions tho…

Code generated by a large language model or similar technology … is presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core.

I recommend you read this article.

Also look at the history of the Linux kernel and you’ll see that GPL does not protect against corporate interests from taking over.

RedoxOS

They also have an anti-LLM policy in place.

Perfect is the enemy of good. Just because every consumption choice cannot be ethical, doesn’t mean none of them should be.

I am condemning Linus and others like him because the choice to not use LLMs isn’t a difficult one to make. You only lose a little comfort. So when you choose to trade everything shitty that LLM usage necessitates for a little comfort, just as Linus likes to say, you can go fuck yourself.

EDIT: Grammar

Reading these comments I have to contend that the halo effect is indeed powerful.

IMO it’s immoral to use LLM’s for any and every purpose and I think every slopper should be called out; no matter how accomplished they are.

This is it! Why didnt’t I think of that… Thank you!

Trying to replace an overpriced legacy service for my family, because my ISP charges an arm and a leg for a landline subscription which gets used at most once a day (oftentimes even less). So ideally a handset device capable of recieving and making calls to a limited number of devices.

Are you trying to learn how this works or just need a landline?

Both. I have only one ISP which maybe offers (there is some contradictory wording on their site) landlines for consumers. And they charge outrageous prices for a service which would be used at most once a day for a couple of minutes.

But if you say it’s tough to pull of for a noobie then I’ll look for other solutions.
