It is so incredibly bleak watching one OSS project after another betray every single principle, betray their users, betray *everything* to cuddle up to fascist technology.

Not trying to be obtuse here, but: 

Why does this feel like betrayal to you? 

I understand the desire to not use llm-generated code (though I don't share that desire). I don't understand your use of the term 'betrayal' here though.

Not to say that your opinion is invalid! Just... I feel like I must be missing something here.

@wouter Stepping away from the evil giants and into the world of FOSS is frequently done to get away from, well, putting money and power into the evil giants.

Basically feeing into the arms of the evil giants with your FOSS projects that you have built up a user base from to "escape" this, is a bit of a betrayal.. No, not just a bit.

Many donate money to support projects that are seen as anti-big-tech, and it sucks when these projects start feeding into what bigtech wants you to do.
