side note:
I work under the assumption that technology cannot be taken back easily
once the cat's out of the bag, that's it

imo llms fundamentally suck by being spammy
framing them tight can alleviate some issues and rigorous benchmarks can be used to objectively measure results

this is what's happening at community-computer:

https://radicle.network/nodes/iris.radicle.xyz/rad%3Az4Wk8hdpwG4HtoCxr1uuoQDpnfr25

even if all the datacenters experienced rapid unschduled disassembly this would be a method that generated traceable computing experiments

and even failed experiments - if recorded methodically - always render valuable data

I'm sorry I can't quite follow what you wanted to express.
I did indeed encounter LLM use on the radicle network.
But at a quick glance the main protocol doesn't contain a CLAUDE.md file.

To check for yourself:

https://radicle.network/nodes/seed.radicle.dev/rad:z3gqcJUoA1n9HaHKufZs5FCSGazv5

Neither do the other repos by radicle.
Apart from the radicle-explorer web browser interface.

https://radicle.network/nodes/seed.radicle.dev/rad:z4V1sjrXqjvFdnCUbxPFqd5p4DtH5/tree/CLAUDE.md

The relevant thread on the forum:

https://radicle.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/369278-Explorer/topic/.E2.9C.94.2072cfac7.3A.20Add.20CLAUDE.2Emd/with/580304656

Personally because I abhor the incompetence surrounding decisions in computing at the moment, I'm very critical of the use of LLMs.
That is why I'm working to decentralize and thus future-proof my projects.

I have seen no alternative code forge other than radicle serving this kind of truly distributed and asynchronous collaboration.
I see it as revolutionary and should it become necessary the tech will be forked.

So far I'm happy to say that the team and community convinced me of their competency.

Did I understand your critique correctly?

yes, that, or another forgejo server, or sourcehut.

i'd just held on to my github account for reporting issues, but now i use email for that.

or mastodon, because some apps hosted on github have a mastodon account. (delta chat, organic maps, ...)

Happy to boost - it's definitely an area worth studying.

Have you published anything (formal or not) about "Repair Cafes" and other popular movements to reduce e-waste / re-use "obsolete" electronics?
