Stop treating open source projects and foundations like consumer-facing businesses. Unless you've got a paid support contract that's being neglected, or there's a grave concern, it's inappropriate to escalate issues to massively public forums. Maintainers and the staffers and volunteers at foundations are already overworked. Don't make it harder for them to address your issue by ALSO making them waste time firefighting in public. #OpenSource #FOSS #FLOSS

Dropping a speaker a message (via pretty much any means of communication they make available to you) that you genuinely liked their talk is a very kind thing to do, and I can assure you that it never goes unheard or unnoticed.

Move slow and mend things.

All the people they laid off, but here’s a guy who, to my knowledge, is just a VC tech kid and not an expert, who openly follows a “philosopher” who blatantly believes _Black people are not as smart as white people_ and they can’t wait to hire him. Gee, what group of people were hit hardest by layoffs again? I am beyond disgusted by this. I have to go practice whatever shit I learned in therapy to calm down. Every single person they laid off is worth ten of this racist venture capital fuck.

The biggest mistake I have made as a creator is letting my ego, my ambition and the shallowness of social media convince me that I had an "Audience" instead of a network. It's a self centred worldview that strips the humanity out of the folks around us. We end up treating people like numbers and vanity metrics. That's just bulls**t.

Everyone: AI is the future, let’s gooooo Open ai: not so fast, hold my beer

Is there an #opensource backed standard for annotating others’ webpages? I’m thinking specifically being able to tag others’ sites with #IndieWeb h-cards (eg. Adding machine readable event tags to pages like this: https://www.ewanbleach.com/events) or something more fancy, like letting me attach (#ipvm runnable?) WASM to that page that will extract an iCal file. I want to make microformats and standard metadata more available without everyone having to get on board.

What do we want? To stop procrastinating! When do we want it? Tomorrow! From: @jerod https://changelog.social/@jerod/111437958220583114

These people can't even run a company competently but think they can create an AI that is smarter than humans and control it? This is some Jurassic Park level hubris.

I had a Captcha today that had ai generated images - this is not new. But the prompt was also clearly ai generated, as it made zero grammatical sense. Refreshing the page was the only option, as refreshing the captcha gave the same prompt with different images. How is solving problems a computer can solve far easier than a human a good way to determine the user isn’t a computer?

Being an adult is just saying ‘Things will slow down next week’ to each other until you die

So the thing I don't get about tumblr is why it's so strict on anything remotely sexual, yet happily broadcasts and pushes ads with graphic violent content of people being shot in a video game. To me, I find violence 100x worse for society than something mildly sexually explicit. It's deeply saddening just how normalised violence is in our society, but sex is so taboo.
