Two interesting projects I'm keeping an eye on:
鉁筹笍 Karton - A Virtual Machine manager being worked on for #gsoc by @kenoi
鉁筹笍 Kretro - A new #libretro frontend by @seshpenguin
Ugh, Python got over 500 #GSoC applications this year and so many of them are absolutely trash, didn't follow any of the instructions. Most years about half of our applications are like this. But usually we have a lot fewer applicants and the submissions were blank files not plausible AI nonsense.
So I'm stuck reading hundreds of incredibly low quality nonsensical submissions today in hopes to take some workload off my other unpaid volunteer mentors. This is not the volunteer gig I signed up for 15 years ago when it was mostly working with new contributors and not their AI chatbots and I'm grumpy.
