Cursor will run anything called git.exe when you open it, but it isn't the only one. As a fork of VS Code, Cursor has inherited this behavior from its questionable parentage.

@tinker The end result will be predictable. At some point some dufus will create a pull request with some terrible/dangerous LLM created code that manages to slip past review and the Linux community will pay the price.

This is the reality of tech-bro leadership.

In which I attend, 9 days apart, a World Cup match and a minor-league ballgame, enjoy both, and feel kind of guilty about that enjoyment: https://www.tbray.org/ongoing/When/202x/2026/07/10/Summer-Sports

Skimming the rest of BSNES's image-postprocessing OpenGL shaders...

There's a fancy 5-pass upscaling filter accentuating various features.

There's a 2-pass + advanced antialising "xBR" filter which accentuates various edges in YCbCr colourspace.

There's a shader which essentially encodes & immediately decodes PAL video signals.

And by far the most-complex filter is called "CRT Royale"! See next toot...

1/2!

So what do we do about this? In recent research, @elipariser and @angelquicksey suggest that a hybrid public square is possible, but only if humans + agents are guided with explicit rules and transparency.

This could be a viable third path, but only if we act now.

Sorry, I will not be reading your posts today, I will be too busy flailing the cursor

There is a growing debate about the future of the internet: will it be fully compromised by bots? Can humans and AI-powered agents coexist online?

This question is not exactly hypothetical, it's already happening: recent data from Pangram Labs found 41% of longer posts on LinkedIn in recent months were flagged as fully AI content.

Software and FLOSS are cultural artifacts made by crowds.
Every attempt to separate those folks from other social places (like with elitist stance) pave a path to a throne.
We need to better consider social configuration like at café Karanfil (Berlin), café Theodore (Lokemo) and many others around the world.
I talked with fundacion karisma https://fundacionkarisma.org/
former director about how now she's involved into knitting and repair meetings with youngsters while she went from human rights, privacy and floss.

And I'm also thinking about many organisations into apc.org network.
I mean : right now mainstream floss scene is totally western biased and We are paying a heavy price for this individualistic libertarianism at the courts of the various dukes and kings.
But in many liminalities various beautiful social configurations are doing great things.

(Sorry it's quite a bit chaotic toot but I'm with our newborn right now 😊).

Mural next to the new location of The Stud at Folsom and Langston. Designed by Tanya Wischerath, it is inspired by a mural by Chuck Arnett which was featured in a 1964 Life magazine article on Homosexuality in America. #queerart #streetart

Pythonistas - is pyenv in or out of favour for versioning? I am getting conflicting views.

And do you check in the the expected Python version file? (I seem to remember using a .pyenv in the top level project directory, but that's fallen from favour?)

@dansup my sentiments.

@RosaCtrl One of the most important insights I had was to understand economic/business patterns like https://gwern.net/complement and then apply them to things like e.g. Google open-sourcing Android
