The Register: New endowment hopes to raise a big pile of money for open source projects. “Open source developers may also be fortunate enough to receive contributions from individuals, companies (when not passing the buck), and government-sponsored initiatives like Germany’s Sovereign Tech Fund. But OSE aspires specifically to build a big pile of cash – an endowment – that it will dole out […]

Fuck me, the Stack Overflow beta is *horrible*.

Question pages look like a bastard mix between Reddit and ChatGPT.

The answer text area is auto-focussed and hijacking browser shortcuts.

There is no visible separation between question and answers.

#SoftwareDevelopers lack class-awareness since decades.

Back in the '80 #hackers crew were hunted down for a reason: too much awareness of their power, with full control over the means of production, firmly attached over their neck.

We could have led a #revolution.
We built #BigTech infrastructure, instead.

But it's never too late! 😎

Today #LLM and #vibecoding give us full plausible deniability whenever we inject a vulnerability in the software we code!

I wasted an hour of my time to deal with a Github issue that was, it turns out, at least partially LLM-generated. User is posting an issue for platform A while, when digging deeper, it turns out they're actually running platform B.

So I asked them politely to stop using ChatGPT for their comments, because they contain bullshit.

Next comment starts with “Good catch, and sorry for the confusion.”

So issue closed 🤬

I guess the magic words to silence people that say "it should be easy to implement this feature” are “Feel free to issue a PR”.

Shuts them up every time… 🙄
