IrisIt is surprisingly hard to express "the primary demographic for startup founders at the moment is nepobaby failsons" in a way that's appropriate for consumption by investors.

D. OlifantI like to remind people periodically of one of my favorite days on the fedi:
A new person publicly asked, "Am I allowed to say Fuck TERFs here?"
And not only were they told it was okay, they spawned an avalanche of supportive folks all publicly proclaiming "Fuck TERFs!".
And unlike literally every other social network I could mention, not one person popped up to argue or complain or harass the person in question.
It was pretty awesome.
And so to this day I often say I'm on the "Fuck TERFs" side of the fedi. Like, if you can hear me, you're on the Fuck TERFs side of the fedi.
packetcatMore seriously.
Comparing fediverse users being "mean" to LLM fanatics to the racism (both covert and overt) that has significantly discouraged the formation of communities of Black people on the fediverse is quite frankly disgusting.
It betrays a lack of understanding of what racism is, which is *structural* discrimination of a group of people based on race. LLM fanatics are not a group that is systematically discriminated against (quite the opposite right now in fact) and to suggest that is the case is absurd.

please don't brigade. that won't help anything.
those who know bits about embedded dev, the challenges of the intricacies of OS-dev, etc - you know who you are, and how you can reply
those that don't? please just observe at a distance and learn
the "oh hey yeah, we're drowning in PRs, I suggest turning on Claude Code" mail in the openwrt-devel list is quite the jumpscare
oof.

Alex@rtnVFRmedia Suffolk UK@skjeggtroll @fasterandworse Mastodon is more like a biker bar where most of the bikers have /already/ read Kant, have a decent sense of ethics, but don't always want a big debate about it as they just want to enjoy a beer in peace and/or talk about their bikes..

Sometimes the same ideas appear to everyone at once, because they are the natural result of the shared situations.
