@simon you were one of the first in our community to seriously explore this space, through many concrete experiments and write-ups, including the recent post about migrating JustHTML from Python to JavaScript.
I don’t know if you get to read all notifications and mentions here on Mastodon, but if you have any thoughts on how to handle AI-generated contributions in large Open Source projects like Django, they would really help this discussion. 😃

Today, I once again wake up worrying about #Rust 's future.
Why is a shitbag such as #dtolnay still allowed to single-handedly maintain fundamental libraries for the ecosystem? Why is he part of Library API team? How is he not permabanned for single-handedly permanently damaging Rust by killing off comptime reflection over his racism? How is he not permabanned for the power play he attempted to pull with his "RFC" after pushing pre-compiled binary to serde without notice? Why are MIC companies routinely tolerated at Rust conventions? Why does no one talk about it, despite the problems not being solved? Has #Ruby takeover taught people nothing? Will Rust survive another year without turning into #fashtech?
So many questions. I think about them every time I use Rust, which is often.
Apropos of nothing.

Looking for input on eink devices, for ebook and writing. Primary use is to digitize my library. Writing will be mathematical in nature.
Current favorite: supernote (https://supernote.com/)
Current runner-up: PocketBook InkPad X
I value:
* Openness, OSS compatibility
* Interoperability
* Repairable, upgradable
Tech proficiency: long-time OSS native, I have FreeBSD laptops and servers, run graphene, etc., can fetch, modify, build, install OSS.
Die nächste #OSS #Spende geht von mir in diesem Monat an @Codeberg. Eine sehr gute GitHub Alternative (natürlich nicht der gleiche Funktionsumfang) und pfeilschnell 🙂. Mittlerweile habe ich meine neuen #Git Repositories da angelegt. Auch hier: vielen Dank für eure Arbeit! #donation https://www.codeberg.org

We're so happy to annouce that we have an open source design devroom and we're now accepting calls for talks via the FOSDEM pretalx system.
Open Source Design has been part of FOSDEM for over a decade now, making sure designers who work with, or contribute to free, libre and open source software (FLOSS) a platform to share their ideas.
Call for participation details and link here:

Open source developers are facing severe burnout: unpaid work, toxic communities, and hyper-responsibility are pushing maintainers to the brink ⚠️
73% report burnout; 60% considered leaving.
Companies relying on OSS must fund, respect, and support maintainers to sustain critical infrastructure 🛠️
