Some of that reads really funny.

Feels more like a software discovery list than an indictment. Thanks for the categorization.

> software discovery list

You're not kidding, I feel like this is better than most of those awesome-X lists that were popular for a while.

Yeah, I saw this "open-slopware" list listing many battle-tested web servers as "permissive AI policy", while one of the alternatives (not all though, some inherit battle-testing) isn't really battle-tested. In fact, I saw entangled codebase and not-so-good coding practices.

This list seems...odd. For instance, the list decries the permissive AI policy of the Linux kernel, of Fedora, of Bazzite/Bluefin/etc...and then includes Secureblue as an alternative...?

Secureblue is a neat project, but as you say, this would make more sense as a generic discovery list. If you want to avoid projects with a permissive AI policy, you should probably take into account that Secureblue is based on bluebuild (from the Bazzite team), Fedora, Linux, etc etc etc.

But will you still feel this way once you try to actually use that software?

    They list Firefox, Chromium/Blink, Ladybird and WebKit on their no-no list.

    Most people use browsers without major incidents.

    Considering how popular many of these projects are, I (and likely many others on HN) already do!

    So yes, yes we will.
