Suspect a large part of the future will be "AIsbestos Removal". Asbestos was a wonder material which was going to revolutionise the world. Only then we discovered just how carcinogenic it was. And now, every day, we have to gently unpick it from the urban environment. How many companies will belatedly discover that a load-bearing process is actually riddled with AI? Then they'll have to pay to carefully remove it without any further environmental damage. Hence AIsbestos.

With the new Fellowship program, we are investing directly in the people behind the code by paying maintainers of important open source components for their work. Applications are accepted until October 20th. Find more insights about the maintainer survey on our website.

Im in the UK later this week, talking at @oggcamp@mastodon.social! It’ll be a tasty intro to home automation and how to successfully irritate your loved ones with it. Oggcamp is the bestest free software conference there is, mainly because it’s in The North and filled with Northeners. More conferences that aren’t in London pls. #oggCamp #OggCamp2024 #HomeAutomation

Do you find yourself exaggerating your emotional responses when you know you're being watched? Would you like your phone's selfie-camera to record your face when you receive a message so it can automatically reply πŸ˜„, 😒, or 😯? Blog post: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2020/10/performative-emotions/
