got that "writing my talk the night before while operating on only 4 hours of sleep and making my coworkers nervous by proxy" vibe going it's fine it's FINE I know what I'm doing

Working on my slides for #FOSDEM in the hotel room with my extremely normal computing setup

Polyamory is great, and it makes me very happy when my partners are spending time with other people who also make them happy (extra so, but not only, when mutuals!)

Cloudflare just published a vibe coded blog post claiming they implemented Matrix on cloudflare workers. They didn't, their post and README is AI g...

Cloudflare, who certainly has enough resources to *not* pull this kind of bullshit, wastes peoples' time and disrespects people actually working on decentralized networking tech by acting like a pile of vibe coded slop running on top of their proprietary infrastructure is a legit implementation of a protocol. Deeply insulting. Props to @npub1r4xu...pf6r for calling this out (and for actually doing real implementation work on Matrix tech). View quoted note →

This blogpost makes an astoundingly good case about LLMs I hadn't considered before. The collapse of public forums (like Stack Overflow) for programming answers coincides directly with the rise of programmers asking for answers from chatbots *directly*. Those debugging sessions become part of a training set that now *only private LLM corporations have access to*. This is something that "open models" seemingly can't easily fight.

The Enclosure feedback loop

speculation about the way (paid) software development will become LLM-only

ooh yeah shit this project sounds right up my alley *sees Claude pushing commits to git repo* *closes tab*

Do you know how I got into FOSS stuff? Embarrassingly enough I went to a summer camp between junior and senior year of high school, I was def the oldest one at the camp, and took an "Intro to Linux" class I got so excited I went home and bought a Red Hat for Dummies book and installed it from the CD-ROM I got so into FOSS'y stuff over the next year my parents tried to do an intervention before I left for college

There's a line from the infamous "Frozen Peas" audio by Orson Welles that I think about a lot: "Isn't that the fun of it?" Orson was being kind of an asshole in that thing but for some reason the line remains in my mind, especially when people excitedly show me AI-generated stuff and say and look, I didn't have to do any of the creative stuff! Well, isn't that the fun of it? Is this really want we want? To make a world where people don't participate in creativity?
