Example of KDE dev rejecting environmental consideration:

Example of KDE devs not wanting to require LLM use be disclosed.

And all of this is coming right after the debacle with an AI slop project being allowed to give a presentation at Akademy, and the person asking how this was allowed being blocked by KDE:

as well as the discussion thread bringing up legitimate concerns about AI usage being closed:

As someone who genuinely loves KDE, and has even donated to the project multiple times, I sadly have to accept that the majority of KDE have hopped onto the Pro-AI train, and they will not be dissuaded otherwise.

Modern society is built on destruction and cruelty. Doesn't mean I can advice somebody to give up living in society and sound smart.

To suggest that "compromising on ideals for practicality" is the same as "roll-over and accept it" is dishonest and only done by people who want to win the argument by attrition so they get what they want.
