I'm starting to see a wave of single-PR users on GitHub submitting updates to copyright dates. There is nothing obviously malicious about them, though they have a metallic whiff of bot. Is there any reason to avoid these?
I thought I would take up the challenge of getting @enhance_dev#WASM working with #aspnetcore with the ability to SSR web components directly into the request pipeline.
In the history of data, reuse is a constant. In human history, regime change is a constant.
Hence the extractive repurposing going on at #stackoverflow, #github & #reddit to feed AI and take over your jobs. (And countless injustices, like DACA used for ICE, Nazis using invaded country birth records to find Jews, etc).
This is the true “tragedy of the commons”: upon hostile acquisition, what was once a gift indicating membership, care, and community is liable to unethical extraction.
StackExchange Inc's deal with OpenAI is extremely frustrating, and users are being left without much recourse.
the story is already hitting the tech press, but much of it is missing important details and context about how StackExchange sites are run, not to mention the history of organised protest against SEI's pro-LLM stance.
I wrote a bunch about it here, in case anyone is interested in learning more about the situation and its impact:
@foxyoreos@soatok@gsuberland I've always been puzzled why anyone would volunteer their finite free time as a mod for a fully for profit corporate web corporation.
I've done modding but only for free and autonomous projects. It's a thankless task. I'd never do it again.
The really sad thing is the move from specialist run forums to single point of failure stack* type properties. #ExpertsExchange has been mentioned. #Github should be added to list of bad faith organizations.
#Linux is, unfortunately, is just too much to deal with for someone with a mental illness that has the subjective paradoxes that I have. What OSs I have played with didn't interact or look that great. The only way to make Linux great takes a great deal of programming and in the age of #github and I just can't handle it. I did earn 2 #programming certificates back in the day, but they are very outdated. While I love the idea of customization, I am too far behind the times to make it worth it.
I'm frustrated with #Github issue search. I am looking for issues on #Flatpak repo that contains "sort" or "sorting". Github says there is no issue containing "sort" or "sorting"
Very excited to announce that @lornajane and I are running a new @openuk Meetup that's digital-only, alongside the other great events being run by the #OpenUK organisation.
Our first event will be a tie-in with #GitHub's #MaintainerMonth and we'll be hearing from a number of excellent maintainers from a variety of projects - stay tuned for more details.
Looking forward to seeing some of y'all on May 22nd at 1200 noon (UK time) for an interesting webinar!
(This will be in addition to other OpenUK events still being hybrid where possible)
I think #2FA with these little 6 digit codes from a dongle or a little app is a good hack to somehow fix our huge security and identity issues on the internet. But there are two implementations that make my blood boil every. single. time.:
#Paypal not accepting ENTER as confirmation of the entered 6 digit code (you need the mouse, arrrrgh!)
#Github just autoloading after the 6th digit is entered, because no-one ever mistyped anything.
"The big selling point is that 64DD hardware support is baked into the cartridge. Other N64 flash carts already offer this functionality but require a custom OS to be installed – SummerCart64 will offer 64DD support right out of the box..."
Question for other #researchers and #ResearchSoftwareEngineers - if you are submitting supplementary materials to a conference, such as a #github or @huggingface repo, how do you anonymize the repo so that the name of the repo or the repo owner does not violate the anonymity requirements?
We're looking for some new maintainers to join the org 👀
Our GTK port is currently minimally maintained, due mostly to our reliance on the Colloid theme as our base.
We'd ideally use a more flexible base, or write the theme from scratch. This means we'd welcome maintainers who have pre-existing knowledge with GTK theming.
@catppuccin If you're using #Discord your project is not worth supporting. Use a free software platform, and preferably drop #GitHub while you're at it.
Ofcourse its a fosstodon user that goes hard on making sure as much proprietary garbage is used in their lives...
"Ich will nichts mehr von zwanzigstelligen Passwörtern, freiwilligen Cyber-Sicherheitssiegeln und BSI-Grundschutz hören, bis das BSI die skandalösen Sicherheitsvorfälle bei #Microsoft offen anspricht und auch endlich konkrete Maßnahmen ergreift, die geeignet sind, diese Gefahr für unsere Infrastruktur zu verstehen und zumindest einzugrenzen. DHS und CISA haben gezeigt, dass das geht."
Sehr schade - ich fand ihr Interview mit #jungundnaiv wirklich vielversprechend und mit ehrlichem Drang für mehr Sicherheit getrieben. Es scheint politisch nicht opportun zu sein, Sicherheit über die enge Microsoft-Kundenbeziehung zu priorisieren.
You might even consider making a reasonable case to move the project’s remaining assets off #SourceForge. Impotently whinging about it here doesn’t change anything.
@boo_@andros I didn’t foresee anyone turning Google’s #Chrome browser #JavaScript engine V8 (2008) into the server (#NodeJs, 2009) and desktop (#ElectronJs, 2013) runtimes that ate the world, but here we are.
And Electron was originally developed for #GitHub’s #Atom text editor (2008) before they were acquired by #Microsoft in 2018, subsequently discontinued in favor of #VSCode in 2022.
Don’t tell me what you can’t see happening if you don’t remember what already did
