i really want to see the post mortem now, i hope one is carried out. To see the alert system suddenly jump from M7.3 to M9.9 is bizarre (and, well, nobody catching that for about 40 seconds before it's sent out to general emergency systems...). Fascinating

and it's not a bug. These projects haven't been organized around a political belief for a while, if ever. It's just that now they don't need to pretend.
But, you know, you still gotta licence you code under the GPL or whatever. As if we cared.

funnily enough if you actually read the Developer Certificate of Origin as written in 2006 it would completely disallow LLM usage. Point b) reads
> The contribution is based upon previous work that, to the best of my knowledge, is covered under an appropriate open source license and I have the right under that license to submit that work with modifications, whether created in whole or in part by me, under the same open source license (unless I am permitted to submit under a different license), as indicated in the file; or
and it's not even truly me making an argument that LLMs violate free licences by being trained on unclear material, my point is mostly that *nobody fucking knows*. Multiple lawsuits are underway on that topic. It's not a settled question. It's so utterly dangerous to risk accepting AI-assisted contributions if you *pretend to care* about licencing at all.
(but also licences don't matter. only two kinds of people care about licences: those we don't have the money to enforce them and those who have enough money not care and send lawyers if need be)

Linux maintainers have famously never enforced any requirements for tags like Signed-off-by. Or Fixes. Or Tested-by. No point in trying to force people to disclose LLM usage anyway am i right.

i have no idea how to articulate it, i have no idea how to organize it, i don't even know how possible it is, but we need post-FOSS, and we need it ten years ago

2026-10-15 11:32:33 UTC

the very veneer of elitism and purity that was purportedly present to shield the community from corporate capture has all but failed. it's gone. FOSS is now just free labour extracted from workers in service of the surveillance state and technofastic oligarchs. At worse. At best it's being hired in a big tech company that publishes one of the several tools critical to everyone's infrastructure and waiting to see them turn to shit to maximize revenue extraction from the captured market.

2026-10-15 11:29:54 UTC

i think the assessment that "FOSS is dead" is a little misleading. For FOSS to have ever been alive it would have required political organization beyond just a cohort of weird libertarian white dudes starting tech projects in the 90s because they were mad at the big man or wanted to tinker with computers

2026-10-05 05:49:54 UTC

So the FA financial distress is another indicator that furries are going to be or are already the next proxy for queerphobic fear-mongering in the US, huh.
The TL;DR is that payment processors have come to FA and told them "listen here buddy, furries hugging, fat furs, or furries being naked with no genitals is too risqué for us. You gotta stop that or we stop paying you for the advertisements you display." This is, of course, a bar impossible and morally too reprehensible to clear, hence FA now being without a major source of income.
This story comes out after furries have been name-dropped up to the fucking senate. Furries have been called "not trustworthy to be air line pilots" recently, while a representative was yapping bigoted nonsense with the "pregnant man emoji" printed out on a board behind him. There are precedents for bills by right-wing legislators targeting furries specifically (but until this year without getting any traction; remember the "litter box" moral panic?)
This designation of furries as a "weird and not trustworthy demographic" is, of course, thinly veiled queerphobia.

> The arduous upstream process could result in several years of effort to add support for a simple network protocol, or even header, and much longer during the step-up process discussed in [14]. Not only is the process time-intensive, but it also requires above-average technical and social skills to deal with the community.

salut le fédi,

Elle n'a que très peu d'amis et elle est fauchée, et on a aucune idée de vers qui l'orienter pour recevoir de l'aide (hors de question de la renvoyer à l'HP).
Est-ce que vous avez des contacts de psychiatres (libéraux ou pas on s'en fiche) qui prendraient rapidement sur Rennes et qui seraient compétents en terme de TSPT, de psychose et qui serait safe pour une meuf trans?

*looking at the state of software gradually turning into AI shit* it should never have been called software engineering. If a civil engineer vibe-architectured a bridge they would be thrown in jail. Engineering has standards that software developers blatantly disregard as "a hindrance" and the entire profession should be shamed into raising its standards.

i think definitely my favourite jank in Matrix is when you get giant rooms split.. The unofficial rust chat room had to be restart three times over the two years i've been in it because at some points matrix dot org went offline/became laggy, then came back online, and the state resolution between events that m.org didn't have and those from m.org shat itself, and the room state split in half 🙃 very serious social media platform with a lot of funding btw
(i also have several of these empty rooms! and one spam room i was invited in that i cannot refuse the invite for, despite the room no longer existing, and me not being in it. Fun!)

like, i remember having that thought a while back, and never really thought to write it down because it seemed obvious, but the design of LLM chatbots as do-everything servants/sycophants you can order around (see: so-called AI agents) to do anything for you instead of you... that's literallly a slave, you want a mechanical slave

see the purely technical problem here is not even technical. it's a human error. some clown in the US gov tapped the wrong item on a list of people to add to the war group chat. honest mistake. girl was just too eepy too. happens to the best of us.
some people are going to take this as an opportunity to invent a technical problem because they've attached their identity too hard to one solution, like a clam on its rock trying to convince you the mix of minerals on it is just so much better. the next wave will hit them just the same.
the questions you should ask yourself really are social in nature: what the fuck is that kind of shit unaccountable process? how bad is the security of US war operations that they're one tap away from letting your grandma in on it? do they even give a shit?
but i don't ask myself these questions because i'm not a US citizen, nor do i care. i will not comment further on account of maybe having to try to get into that country in the future for work.
