The latest FOSS Academic post involves more wrestling with the implications of #generativeAI for academic peer review:

https://fossacademic.tech/2025/08/06/reviewing-ai.html

In this post, I take observations from software #developers and #openSource podcasters (such as the folks at @latenightlinux ) about how genAI is swamping things like bug bounties and code reviews. This is similar to some of the issues faced by academic peer reviewers.

Hey #elixir folks, do you know any agencies that have both #ux #ui #designer and #Developers

I want to start workign with an agency that can help with design work, but also potentially support some dev stuff as we rewrite in elixir

Hey #FediHire , meet @Dominicd3213

He's an embedded systems and #fullstack #developer who loves making machines move and websites work. By day, he wires up #Robots with ROS 2, #arduino and LIDAR; by night, he wrangles #react#TypeScript and #MongoDB into sleek, responsive interfaces. Built #AI chat tools, and co-founded a trading platform.

He lives where code meets circuits, and believes great tech should be powerful and weird.

Anyone need a bright young guy like this?

> When #developers are allowed to use #AI tools, they take 19% longer to complete issues—a significant slowdown that goes against #developer beliefs and expert forecasts. This gap between perception and reality is striking: developers expected AI to speed them up by 24%, and even after experiencing the slowdown, they still believed AI had sped them up by 20%.

I'm having a "special" day today so I'll break the cycle and just spread some love.

Someone in my feed said thanks to #foss #developers and I enjoy that sentiment.

Thank you to all who make #opensource software and make this world a little bit better. You are doing important work.

I know money would be great but a sincere thank you is all I have atm.

To everyone using foss software. Maybe spread some love as well. :)

An open call to #Android #developers! The #EuropeanCommission needs help evaluating #GooglePlay's #security claims. I'm going to do what I can. Anyone with knowledge of how app installation, uninstallation, sandboxing, signing, etc. could really help here. If you want to contribute, please reach out!

• AFAIK the only Firefox OS #phone offered in the #EU was a #SimLock'd / #NetLock'd #Prepaid device sold in #Spain, where they demanded #KYC for the #SIM, making it impossible to legally obtain it back then without having to fly down to #Spain, ID at a store, fly back and then be overcharged for #DataRoaming!

IMHO, @Mozilla / #Mozilla cannot be trusted at all!
