today in "random good news":

today's #fedora #rawhide and branched (F44) composes were both perfect (no failed artifact builds at all) and each took less than 90 minutes. that includes producing over 100 (114, for Rawhide) images.

I remember when composes failed all the time, individual images failed all the time, and composes took up to 8 hours, so this is pretty cool!

great job everybody!

the frequency at which I get asked "what's wrong?" just because I sent 😪 to indicate that I'm tired / falling asleep is ~worrying~

New: Wikipedia has officially banned AI-generated content. After months of heated debate and previous attempts to restrict the use of LLMs, volunteer editors accepted a new policy that prohibits using them to create articles for the online encyclopedia

Wikipedia Bans AI-Generated Content

“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

GrapheneOS will remain usable by anyone around the world without requiring personal information, identification or an account. GrapheneOS and our services will remain available internationally. If GrapheneOS devices can't be sold in a region due to their regulations, so be it.

I feel like everyone's nerves are frayed and it manifests (amongst other ways) with behaving like the worst of Twitter in its heyday.
