@Tutanota "The Americans buy American, the Chinese buy Chinese, when will Europe start to support its own industry?"
I was asking this for quite some time. But i guess it's easier to simply buy something from a predatory company than investing a little in something own.
I wish there was an EU Open Source fund which supports European developers - on a recurring basis - if their main daily work is maintaining the software.
We have good software in Europe, we're just not supporting it enough.
Today is the day: The European Commission is expected to publish the EU Tech Sovereignty Package. 🇪🇺
And the demand is clear. When purchasing software products, European authorities must prioritize
- Open source
- Buy European
The Americans buy American, the Chinese buy Chinese, when will Europe start to support its own industry?
The EU Tech Sovereignty Package can be a turning point for #digital #sovereignty.
But will they be bold enough?
Sat in a call where someone has just realised that their whole ISO framework that they've spent months creating is based on an incorrect list of controls that an AI tool gave them.
Apparently they never thought to purchase the actual standard and check themselves.
Is there a German word for this?
if i can do almost all of that without looking at the cheat-sheet, have i become a Data Analyst already ?
Typst has banned me — not only from the Discord channels and community forums, but also from GitHub.
I cannot help but feel that systems designed without avenues for explanation or redemption inevitably create situations like this: silence replacing conversation, exclusion replacing resolution, and uncertainty replacing closure.
All I know is that every attempt at contact has, so far, been impossible or being viewed as further trolling.
No path to redeem myself.

Not only does AI find bugs, it also hase some. Bleeding Llama.

I strongly believe there are entire companies right now under heavy AI psychosis and its impossible to have rational conversations about it with them. I can't name any specific people because they include personal friends I deeply respect, but I worry about how this plays out.
I lived through the great MTBF vs MTTR (mean-time-between-failure vs. mean-time-to-recovery) reckoning of infrastructure during the transition to cloud and cloud automation. All those arguments are rearing their ugly heads again but now its... the whole software development industry (maybe the whole world, really).
It's frightening, because the psychosis folks operate under an almost absolute "MTTR is all you need" mentality: "its fine to ship bugs because the agents will fix them so quickly and at a scale humans can't do!" We learned in infrastructure that MTTR is great but you can't yeet resilient systems entirely.
The main issue is I don't even know how to bring this up to people I know personally, because bringing this topic up leads to immediately dismissals like "no no, it has full test coverage" or "bug reports are going down" or something, which just don't paint the whole picture.
We already learned this lesson once in infrastructure: you can automate yourself into a very resilient catastrophe machine. Systems can appear healthy by local metrics while globally becoming incomprehensible. Bug reports can go down while latent risk explodes. Test coverage can rise while semantic understanding falls. Changes happens so fast that nobody notices the underlying architecture decaying.
I worry.
