    @yoasif E2EE, until your password for Firefox Accounts gets compromised (anyone with the FxA password can decrypt your sync key stored in Mozilla's servers. Even if their device is not synced and the account has no synced devices). And knowing that many people will still reuse their passwords across different services, this is not a remote possibility. Mozilla can still be forced by authorities to hand over a user's sync key, and if said authorities know that their target has likely reused their password for Firefox Sync with another website that got a breach, well that user can just hope that there's nothing incriminating in the synced data...They shouldn't have replaced Sync 1.1 (aka Weave) with its J-PAKE where the sync key never leaves the synced device (the only thing the server will have is encrypted data it can't read, even if the sync password gets compromised).@fizzo @jbz

    The #ocaml debacle with the ginormous slop #AI / #LLM "contributions" continues! It's round two, already! Oh no. With the same outcome, predictably. This time in the #julia community.https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ai-generated-enhancements-and-examples-for-staticcompiler-jl/134054/18The patience of the Julia people is absolutely immense here! I've huge respect for them after reading this (and the Ocaml people, only days ago).The fundamental issue seems to be that the guy attempting this novel approach to software development thinks the AI "understands" what it's doing. So even if showstopping nonsense in the AI-produced code is pointed out to him, he comes back with - oh well, yeah, the AI gets "lazy", or some other sort of narrative that rationalises the slop, and presumes the "AI" is, by definition, really understanding what's going on, and smart, and capable, and all that.Will there be no end to this nonsense? Each week the patience of a new set of #FOSS maintainers will be tested? It's Groundhog Day, but with all the quirkiness and charm removed?
