@cthos Right? The given justification, that a member of the TSC tried it and liked it, is really weak for any technical change, but *especially* for such a massive change in how the project relates to the enclosure and devaluation of labor.

This strikes me as a real own goal, but besides that, a very bad sign for institutional health.

In particular:

• There's no technical benefit to the proposal to allow AI, so the proposal existing at all is a bad sign for the project's ability to make decisions with technical and social impacts.
• The preemptive CoC check reads as an attempt to chill or otherwise negate dissent.
• Categorizing docs as being more acceptable for AI is just saying that docs "aren't technical" with more words.

in recent years I've quite frequently seen errors on websites which appear to be a backend error but disappear when you switch browsers, incredibly annoying

Far less important than everything else, but AI shilling in Rust is so confusing to me. "I wish I had a programming language that helped me prevent serious logic and memory safety errors, provided me with readable error messages that can help me find those errors when they occur, that comes with excellent documentation tools, and, oh yeah! I wish it lied to me all the time and inserted junk code of unknown provenance everywhere!"

Chat I finally managed to gather enough motivation to mop my floor and I don't care that it's like the most basic thing I'm proud of myself cuz taking care of one's living space can be hard as hell

random somebody-else's-tool promotion: https://klaash.github.io/xkcdcolorpicker/ is a color picker based on the xkcd color survey some years ago, which asked a load of geeky-webcomic-reading netizens to name random hex value colors. as such, it's a convenient way to either find colors via English language names or find popular names for colors similar to a specific hex color.

HAHAHAH it's a disastrous thunderstorm outside with wind that makes me feel terrified and my rock guitarist neighbor keeps SHREDDING no matter the weather. they don't give a single fuck. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

i'm really excited to show https://compost.party to the world! it's a web server running on an old, broken phone, getting energy from the sun using one of those portable solar chargers that you may also have lying around.

it's a real oddity and a real beauty

Having installed both, a windows and an Ubuntu, today, my appreciation for all the people behind Linux, Ubuntu and Gnome has grown even more. Windows greeted me with abusive language, almost forcing me into registering an online account and plain out refusing to let me select a system language. Meanwhile Ubuntu, after selecting a language, offered me, with a clear language and symbols, accessibility options, with no ads or the promise that my system will be worse with no online account. Linux <3

it’s sometimes so exhausting to be interested in a million things and specifically wanting to be (or maybe feeling the need to be) good at all of those things as well. Which is impossible! But no, the brain insists.

Hell yes, Washington Post tech workers have unionized. ✊🏻
