Close out @furcationland on a high note with another electric fullsuit set by Laelia! If you missed her at ANE this is your chance to catch the magic! Sunday, 8pm, don't be late.
Last boost: the copyright questions around LLM code are unanswered and worrying. What does it mean for an open source project to have non copyrightable code? This is a question for the lawyers. If projects are forced to revert all LLM commits to be compliant with the GPL or something.... The disruption would be massive.

PSA: following the example from various other projects within GNOME (such as Loupe and libadwaita), GNOME Calendar now explicitly forbids AI-generated contributions, with the same policy: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-calendar/-/merge_requests/725

We honor the exquisite art of organic homegrown code made with care and a willingness to learn the craft, and want to protect the time of people who help review merge requests.

🚨 #GNOME 50 will be released on March 18!

😍 Star or/and boost this post if you're excited! With 5 more days to go we just asked our developers to drop their final GNOME 50 release of their projects.

A reminder that the past is a fun diversion at best, and not a solution to anything. Swapping out your phone for iPods and digicams is a vintage hobby, not the basis of a realistic political worldview.

The Rise of the Techno-Pastoral

When criticizing the present, we keep dreaming of the technology of the past. Is this logic sound?

I 100% understand and support an anti-AI coding stance, but I'm seeing more and more people assert that everyone hates it and it never works. Unlike gen-art, unlike generated legal opinions, generated code is actually starting to produce good results, and more and more of my colleagues are using it, and as I review the code they produce, I can't just dismiss it as slop.

I'm not asking anyone to change their opinion or abandon the fight against AI. I'm just warning that asserting that "everyone hates it and it doesn't work" is ... increasingly incorrect. Effective arguments need to speak to the reality of the situation.

Maybe this kind of lewd latte art is more to y'all's taste 😏

Breaking, new, by me: Iran-backed Hackers Claim Wiper Attack on Medtech Firm Stryker

A hacktivist group with links to Iran's intelligence agencies is claiming responsibility for a data-wiping attack against Stryker, a global medical technology company based in Michigan. News reports out of Ireland, Stryker's largest hub outside of the United States, said the company sent home more than 5,000 workers there today. Meanwhile, a voicemail message at Stryker's main U.S. headquarters says the company is currently experiencing a building emergency.

From the story:

"Wiper attacks usually involve malicious software designed to overwrite any existing data on infected devices. But a trusted source with knowledge of the attack who spoke on condition of anonymity told KrebsOnSecurity the perpetrators in this case appear to have used a Microsoft service called Microsoft Intune to issue a ‘remote wipe’ command against all connected devices."

"Intune is a cloud-based solution built for IT teams to enforce security and data compliance policies, and it provides a single, web-based administrative console to monitor and control devices regardless of location. The Intune connection is supported by this Reddit discussion on the Stryker outage, where several users who claimed to be Stryker employees said they were told to uninstall Intune urgently."
