I don't know how to interpret the Debian Social Contract in a way that makes relentless global-scale information harvesting and stochastic regurgitation by for-profit companies acceptable.

LLM vendors are privatizing access to knowledge taken from the commons; selling access is not giving back. They hide an enormous number of massive ecological, financial, legal and ethical problems, their priorities are not users or free software, and their outputs do not meet free software standards.

I'm a woman, I'm a #feminist. I care for period justice, the right to abortions, safe spaces, women's healthcare, ending the discrimination of parents and so, so much more.
The people who are co-opting this as dog whistles for their anti-trans agendas are the enemy. Not our sisters, brothers and siblings* who had to take the long (non-cis) route, or are still underway.
They damage both our causes. Cis-women and queer* people are allies by nature, there is no incompatibility between the two.

@halcy that is a funny way to get exposed

In Counterstrike the best known match fixing scandal was caught because A) the players doing the throwing were incredibly blatant about it and 😎 bragged about it to random people later

No Saturday Morning Coffee today. We have the grandkids and, unfortunately, work is insanely busy so I've been working weekends.

That also means no work on Stream the last two weekends.

Recent events and a thought that had already been lingering in my mind for some time prompted me to register two new domains:

bsdcafe.eu
bsdcafe.it

The first is under European control, the second Italian.

Although as of today I have no reason for doubts or misgivings, having domains managed by European entities gives me a bit more peace of mind. How to put them to use will be a matter of reflection over the coming months.

Stay tuned!

Are there any distros other than NetBSD and Gentoo that have explicitly banned AI-assisted contributions?

Because it's now everywhere, here is my opinion/analysis about LLM-generated code (#vibecoding):

1/ I despise the evil US corps who centralize all knowledge in the world, for whom people work for free when using their services

2/ tragic ecological impact of these huge loads of computation, sold at a loss (when the _actual_ price of it will have to be paid, maybe ppl would think twice... except they'll be hooked by then and society may have changed)

3/ jobs are changing, that once were the creative job of a programmer become the replaceable one of correcting the output of the machine after some unqualified boss initiated something

4/ slop pollution

1/5

This pretty much seals the deal on the corporate takeover of Linux. The surprise twist was a mechanism for cognitive capture that would train the bros to surrender willingly

@klimpong actually I’ve been grappling with it for about 3-4 months now, it actually works now. But cleaning it up and moving it into upstream patches is like crawling over glass I add tests and find out that the original test suites never ran or assumes linuxisms the surprises just keep turning up @janl

I'm not happy about this Meta settlement. It does nothing to address the surveillance business model which is at the core of the harms caused by meta. Instead it subjects billions to age gating and restricts the speech and privacy of teens even further.

Though I guess the only outcome I would have been truly happy with is one where all meta platforms are abolished, and Zuck serves a lifetime sentence as an unpaid Mastodon SRE.

Wees jezelf Arjen, er zitten altijd mensen tussen die je niet leuk vinden en dat is oké!
