As long as the weather cooperates, Iโll be pulling my kids out of school next Monday to drive east into the path of totality during the solar eclipse.
Do you have #eclipse plans?
It is a super hot topic here in Ohio. Totality passes over my house!
There are LOTS of naysayers in the crowd, though. During a meeting yesterday, someone mentioned that the weather was going to be bad, so they are moving it south a few miles. I thought that was the greatest thing i've yet heard.
I am taking the day off, and tyring to get a pass to get to the top of the library of our local university.

Here's a fun AI story: a security researcher noticed that large companies' AI-authored source-code repeatedly referenced a nonexistent library (an AI "hallucination"), so he created a (defanged) malicious library with that name and uploaded it, and thousands of developers automatically downloaded and incorporated it as they compiled the code:

AI hallucinates software packages and devs download them โ even if potentially poisoned with malware
Simply look out for libraries imagined by ML and make them real, with actual malicious code. No wait, don't do thatThomas Claburn (The Register)
BAM! Let's put this bill over the line!
Itโs time to give Australian courts the power to break up big firms that behave badly
"The so-called Competition and Consumer Amendment (Divestiture Powers) Bill would enable courts to break up firms that misuse their substantial market power under section 46 of the Competition and Consumer Act."
Itโs time to give Australian courts the power to break up big firms that behave badly
US courts have had the power to break up badly behaving corporations for more than a century. Thereโs a bill before the Australian Senate that would give our courts the same power.The Conversation

Have you done any testing to ensure the apps you proclaimed so proudly in the past haven't been made abandonware by your inability to stabilize and standardize app interfaces? Your existing users are still sad that you broke PicoCMS, News, Social apps, and more, by your negligence in previous versions. Are you doing better this time?
Will we ever be able to use those abandonware apps again, or are they useless forever now?

Hey everyone!
I'm working on a video to see what the Linux community (or at least people who follow me) actually use.
So, I created a little form, hosted on my Nextcloud (hopefully it's up to the task...)
It's only up for 2 days, so don't hesitate to share it around, it will help me "touch grass" and see if my preconceived notions are confirmed, or invalidated!

Of course, it's all anonymous, no personal data, it's just for the purposes of creating the video.

All this talk about #xzorcist over the weekend, I want to also point out that it's important to remember that the "software supply chain" largely does *not* exist in regards to open source, because most people have no real relationship other than parasitic consumption with the project.

I'm really appreciating this idea on FOSS from my colleague @bwagโnot just "free as in speech" or "free as in beer" but "free as in way." Increasingly, that is, FOSS acts like a freeway.
bowaggoner.com/blahg/2024/03-1โฆ
It is infrastructure for businessโfree for all, but a means of profit for some. And that affects how we should build economies around it.
I agree with you.
But why emphasize "economies" in this way? Do we talk about books like this?
Practical benefits have to flow from the ethical ones or else we're in danger of playing a game where economy is on top of freedom. See China: in the 1990s there was thought that democracy would follow capitalism. But no. You can have capitalism with no Freedom.
This book cloudempires.org/ is pretty good about this issue (though doesn't discuss FOSS directly)
