This is an appreciation post to all the open source devs who don't allow AI slop anywhere near their projects and recognize that "gen" AI can't be used for good when its existence is built upon fascism and theft.
It doesn't make you a luddite or an enemy to progress. It doesn't make you an annoyance or a bother to your fellow devs or your users, and you are NOT the problem. My code-illiterate ass is grateful to you because so many "open source" devs are happy to forgo all values associated with such projects to gawk at the capitalist theft machine. Its. Mind. Numbing.

So, thank you. You all deserve big gay hugs and a refreshing beverage for good measure. Keep yourselves hydrated while creating your next badass project, we can't want to see them. <3

Oj, it seems I've missed my first anniversary on Mastodon last friday 

In this first year I've had a lot of meaningful and joyful interactions with lots of interesting folks, read and learned about many cool things, got inspired and found this place to be very welcoming and slow in a very pleasant way.

I'm enjoying my time here so much more than any other kind of social media, so I reeeeally hope all my friends will join me here soon, so we can have a real good time together away from those disgusting tech billionaires.

Feeling grateful, special thanks to @brook for being a great groundskeeper :)

Love that it's not another variation of a coloured envelope.

Too bad the MacOS will not be used because of the new squircle requirements.

Thanks a bunch Yannick. Superb...
