"On top of that, the project uses a decentralized messaging fabric that can be REST, DIDComm, or another trust‑spanning protocol. This enables participants to establish relationships and exchange credentials without revealing their physical location or network topology. Each relationship uses its own random, ephemeral DIDs, making it far harder for observers running messaging infrastructure to infer who is talking to whom or to map the kernel's social graph"

AI is a toxic menace. What we currently call “AI” is not intelligent, and won’t be. The current AI boom will end in a financial crash. The AI industry causes terrible ecological and social damage.
This is the first in a series of blog posts addressing the ethics of using #ai in #opensource.

Deprecate confusing APIs like “os.path.commonprefix()”. After fixing a vulnerability in #pip, I started digging into the confusing API and found more than I expected.

coveralls.io
So NodeBB tests have been failing for the past few days because coveralls.io is down.
Coveralls is a code coverage bot that is free for open source projects. We integrated it into our workflow years ago and it's been trucking along fine all these years.
While coveralls being down technically prevents us from running our tool to launch a new version, we could always just do it manually.
Their outage page is here: https://status.coveralls.io/
They are on day 3 of the outage and have absolutely no idea when things will come back up.
This paragraph is worded curiously: [...]

Do you know any new open source projects that deserve recognition?
Projects that are:
- Solving real world problems and driving technical innovation
- Improving science, research or medicine
- Challenging long standing platforms or paradigms
- Just super nerdy and doing something novel!
If you do, please share them and perhaps we can help them get the attention they deserve. 🧡

Pourquoi et comment l’État français développe-t-il ses propres outils numériques en #OpenSource ?
Dans cette vidéo :
– La genèse du projet : L'État devient créateur.
– L'alternative : proposer des outils (Visio, Docs) aussi fluides que le privé tout en restant 100 % libres.
– Le défi du recrutement : comment attirer les meilleurs talents tech dans le secteur public ?
– Sécurité des données.
