While I would normally give the /e/OS founder the benefit of the doubt, it looks like the AI nonsense has pushed him off deep end.
Over on Mastodon, Duval announced the release of a new version of ElixirOffice.

The project is 100% vibecoded with no human contributions. Just human supervision.

I almost wrote that things “spiraled” but that is a loaded word. Duval defended himself.

Made a comment about “idiots”:

(I guess idiots is people that don’t like AI)
And told another user to “Go Fuck Themself”:

Briefly, I considered a hacked account. But…
AI is the most powerful technology ever available for humanity and I wish the good people embrace it too. Not only the bad.

In his own words, he is living in a different world:
Lineage OS accepts AI contributions, too. See their AI contribution policy.
Alternatively, Nura (previously postmarketOS) does ban AI contributions
Well the thing is with Nura, it really doesn’t have any good software support unless you plan on using everything in a browser. It also doesn’t support Verizon and other carriers with IMEI whitelisting. Unfortunately it still has a long way to go until it’ll be an actually good and functional mobile operating system.
