A note from one of my favourite authors at the moment.

One of the lessons that many in software strangely never learn is that breaking something while being an asshole gets a very different response from people than breaking something while not being an asshole

And, given how “AI” continues to pour shit on the rest of society, using LLMs is widely going to be perceived as an asshole move

For better or for worse, using LLMs in OSS is going to be seen as an adversarial move that undermines community building

Mutual aid comes in so many different forms. Find a new way to make others feel safe, supported, seen, and heard when you can. https://discuss.systems/@ricci/116705815632654376

In his first 150 days, Mayor Mamdani has:
- closed a $12B deficit
- collected $9M in unpaid fines from Bezos
- recovered $5M in stolen wages for gig workers
- raised minimum wage to $30/hr
- drove violent crime to record lows
- marched for trans rights

I don't ever want to hear an excuse from a single Democrat ever again. Turns out the "radical leftist agenda" is just competent representation.

“The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn’t even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it.” - Davis X Machina

inb4 some weird nerd tries to explain that this is a win actually because it shows something something AI vuln hunting something something when in reality it shows just how poorly engineered something so critical to security is once people start actually digging
