    I’m not exactly sure where to ask, but is there a chatroom or place to ask for support? I’ve (finally) flashed the image, Phosh edition, cause KDE (still) does not have a viable PIM on Plasma Mobile, but on both sides, I’ve noticed issues. Notably sometimes radio fails? Like imsd fails even after restart if I set the active sim, but if I don’t, SMS fails. – Quite confusing. I don’t mind providing logs and running through the process.

    Alrightio, after reading this whole lore. I can understand how a lot of people might feel conflicted. I personally despise the AI Slop onslaught, but I do understand some of the benefits. However, American Intelligence will not get a singular penny from me. I’d personally just go local whenever possible, and if necessary at all.

    AI Rant (not directed at anyone)

    Is it really frontier if it’s just marketed to be such? Is it really frontier if it costs us our water and advancing global warming, destroying books, ruining neighborhoods? – In those regards, I simply refuse to use any American Intelligence. It is simply, not worth it. I’d much rather host one on my machine and run it locally, even if it’s slower. But even then, I only made one project (Git Leak and Git Repo Filter wrapper) and I made it to prove a point. OSS AI is just as capable, and most importantly, greener.

    In my personal opinion, AI should be used to learn, not automate. And learn only after you actually understand at the very least, the fundamentals. When I didn’t know how an ecosystem worked, I asked my local qwen2.5-coder:4b, and it actually helped me enough for me to literally stop using it after an hour, because I got what I wanted and still wanted to do my tasks by myself.

    Now a days, I barely even touch AI, and when I do, it’s still local. I’d much rather use a local ai to find any issues, or give me a rough draft of whatever it finds, and use that as a supplement to what I am already doing or am aware of.

    I fully agree it might not go anywhere because, you can host it now. Even run it on your phone (PocketPal, lamma.cpp, etc), but you have to wonder, what’s the real tradeoff for using it? Because for a lot of people, it’s critical thinking, it’s their privacy, it’s their ability to process things on their own, and sometimes, even their ability to grow, or form their own opinions.

    Are you better off thinking through that draft or letter or code yourself and actually learn? Or do you really gain anything in the long run by delegating it to a prompt and learn nothing at all?

    That said, I still think we shouldn’t over-slop FOSS, and every time AI is used, it should be audited, by yourself, at least 3 times. Because sure, it’s useful, if you specify prompts and give it a directive guidance it’ll be better, but it is still not one’s actual writing.
    It is because so many people just go full speed ahead without understanding how things are made, or how they work, why they are designed the way that they are, is why we and maintainers, have so much trouble…

    For reference purposes, I mostly use Qwen and Bonsai, both with llama.cpp or LM Studio (open to suggestions via DM) as backend, OpenCode as frontend, SearxNG and Fetch MCP servers, with some local SKILLS.md

    At least you’ve kinda layout out how to effectively use AI to aid development for mobile Linux. Not to mention, your efforts always go mainline, or to a publicly available project, and thank you so much for also mentioning the fact that you used it to learn, it’s honestly a massive green flag in my eyes, specially when the result is more earnest, transparent and honest work, even if assisted by AI, so again, thank you for your contributions.

    Also, Thank you for also addressing a lot of the problems a lot of people don’t see with this controversial tech. Cause holy hell, sometimes I just wanna block those domains and IPs for people.

    EDIT:: HOLD UP. Did I read that right?

    My CI is also now building phosh images for the people that want them.

    my honest reaction

    Good Sire, where in the Crafts can we find these?
