@randahl I assure you that most of us are not this stupid. Not all of us, obviously, but a massive majority are.
For one thing, we have too many mountains with steep canyons around them.
@corpsmoderne @DamiaB C'est ce que je me dis, mais j'aimerais bien comprendre en quoi, dans le cas de Cloudflare.

Parc « Dragon Ball » en France : Toei Animation publie un communiqué salé pour répondre aux rumeurs
La Toei est visiblement tombée de sa chaise en découvrant l’actualité internationale [...] l’emblématique studio japonais Toei Animation n’a jamais été consulté sur ce sujet qui le concerne directement en tant que co-ayants droit de la franchise Dragon Ball.

Je ne connais plus aucun dev (même dev amateur) qui n'ait pas utilisé l'IA (au sens LLM).
Alors oui on peut parler des LLM sans y avoir touché. Mais du coup, on est moins pertinent sur leur utilité réelle et leurs cas d'usage utiles.
On peut parler de la lune sans y avoir posé le pied, mais un astronaute sera plus pertinent pour parler de ce qu'on ressent ou peut faire en y étant réellement.
Et ça ne se compense pas par une connaissance livresque.

@aparrish That feels EXTRAORDINARILY difficult, no? like especially, /every/ commit?
... hmm, in like a Release Notes listing, what might be some examples of "Forkability improvement: ..." the was release notes often have "Feature: ..." or "Bugfix: ..." or "Documentation: ..." ?
@aparrish One person elsewhere in the comments has talked about "making building it/configuring the build environment easier". So that's one.
But it feels like (not in a criticizing way) one of the more distant-from-the-code-itself places already at that.
I feel like there's gotta be more, but,,
#JukeboxFridayNight theme this week is #Royalty eh?
Well then:
#1) Lorde's "Royal" comes to mind first
#2) Then, there are all those "most British" sounding things, e.g.

More William Walton king stuff.

Shared infrastructure is how the #Fediverse can grow without recreating enshittified platform silos.
We’re excited to share that Bonfire is working with Mastodon on two critical areas of Fediverse infrastructure: remote media storage and automated content detection.
Built around open Fediverse Auxiliary Service Provider (FASP) specifications, this work will help platforms connect to shared services instead of each having to build and operate the same capabilities alone.
Our aim is to make these capabilities open, interoperable, and available for any federated server to adopt.
A big thank you to @Mastodon@mastodon.social team for involving us in this work. We’re looking forward to building together and sharing what we learn along the way.

Exact. D'un autre côté, ça marche bien, et avec un service "gratuit" pour le grand public. Je me demande d'ailleurs quelle est la contrepartie de cette gratuité.
Yesterday, Russian Major General Nikolai Varpakhovich was shot in the face and in the torso in a motorcycle drive-by shooting in the village of Probuzhdeniye, 5 minutes from the Engels-2 airbase in Saratov Oblast, Russia.
He is the commander of the Russian 22nd Heavy Bomber Aviation Division, which is responsible for countless missile attacks and war crimes against Ukraine. He is already sanctioned by the EU.
Both Ukrainian president Zelenskyy and Russian media has confirmed the attack.
@randahl Murdered civilians or committed other war crimes?

@Elizafox Back in 98, when I was volunteering at a Linux conference, a woman I know pulled me aside, pointed at a guy, and said, "whatever you do, never be alone in a room with him."
A few hours later, I saw a picture of the keynote speaker and realized it was the same guy. It was ESR.
FOSS has *always* had this problem.
