The Rust project puts out an article about how they're listening to their community https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/03/20/rust-challenges/

Except it turns out that article was drafted by an LLM https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1rz15t3/what_we_heard_about_rusts_challenges_and_how_we/obiwu24/

They claim nearly every line was rewritten by a human but I'm not sure how you could send a worse signal to your community about how much you aren't listening than having an LLM draft a post saying we're really listening, honest

since starting this, I've gotten sued by a credit card company for being unable to pay, and had to pay 700$ due to a delivery fuckup.

Please, if you can donate, it'd really help.

'Afroman released an entire album in 2023 about the incident, calling it Lemon Pound Cake, while its title song also took aim at the officer who, the lyrics said, "got the munchies because he got high".

'That song has had 3.6 million views on YouTube, while another parody track titled Will You Help Me Repair My Door has had more than nine million.'

Successful fedi trans folks, how can i get hired and therefore keep affording rent

I know ISO 13485 and 9001 like the back of my hand, am an expert at root cause analysis / FMEA, have extensive facility auditing experience, can manage building automation systems, wrote hundreds of SOPs and other technical documents, taught myself enough coding to write a program for tracking equipment PM/calibration/validation dates, developed and executed protocols for equipment PM/calibration/validation and trained and managed a team to do the same, can read and interpret electronic diagrams, am great at soldering, have drawn, etched, and assembled circuit boards, and can bake the most amazing desserts.

I am also open to learning whatever else i need to prevent myself from being homeless

Big bad news. Oof

🚨 Less than 168 days remain before Android becomes a locked down platform!

Google intends to force all software developers to register with a centralized Google service before their apps can run on the biggest mobile operating system on the planet, regardless of whether those apps are distributed via Google Play.

Find @keepandroidopen’s website at https://keepandroidopen.org for more information about this, why it’s a problem, and how you can make your voice heard.

As supporters of open platforms we have consistently encouraged developers and alternative app stores to refuse to participate in this program, and to spread this message throughout the Android community.

Read our open letter to Google’s leadership: https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/

seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi"

folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself

it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird
