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?

@pandolin I love this - the LEGO penguin on top is 👌🏻 can I ask which 3D printed case design you used there?

@servo launch sponsorship tiers to help fund more rapid development:https://www.phoronix.com/news/Servo-Sponsorship-TiersIMO Servo is still our best chance at a fast, modern alternative to Chrome's Blink renderer taking over the web.Tiers start at as little as $100, but if you don't have that to spare, consider sharing to try and reach potential sponsors who do!#Servo #FOSS #Chrome #Blink

💥Code paid by the people should be available to the people! 💥Why is software created using taxpayers’ money not released as #FreeSoftware under a #FOSS licence? If it is public money, it should be public code as well!🖥️ https://publiccode.euhttps://media.fsfe.org/w/7cH6EATpmPwaMsEZN8vfyj

What do you think of using Google in your life?I use a Google Pixel 7 Pro at the moment, but I use GrapheneOS instead of OEM, and I think it is the best Android line of phones I have used so far. Their bootloader is lockable after installing custom operating systems which is much better than all other offers at the moment. The build quality, battery and design of the phone is solid as well. This phone has a lot of merits going for it which other Android phones are not replicating for the sake of a false sense of "security" or profits. I will appreciate Google for giving me a great phone to install GrapheneOS on, alongside Android for being a secure base for an operating system.I appreciate the Chromium browser more than other browsers in the market. While Google Chrome is junk regarding user privacy, as well as shoving AI in your face, Chromium itself is actually pretty solid. It is also the most secure option, offering a malloc() implementation better than Firefox's mozmalloc, although not as secure as hardened_malloc, by GrapheneOS. Firefox is also implementing AI features into their browser, which leaves a bad taste in my mouth. MV2 is deprecated, sure, but you win more than you lose in security, as a lot of API features were exploitable. Chromium does a lot of good things, while Chrome gives the base itself a lot of bad blood. I would like to see what Servo can do, but I appreciate Google for making a secure browser.I generally despise a lot of what Google offers, however. I feel like they lean heavily on the deception of convenience, where Google gives really good results while it uses your data for the sake of advertising. This applies with the Google Suite (Mail, Office, and Drive among others) as well. I would much rather use FOSS or nonprofit alternatives, such as Tutanota, or LibreOffice. Google is essentially the serpent from The Book of Genesis, selling you the benefit of their convenience for the sake of having your data stolen for their use. As such, I will choose not to follow Google convenience promise for my security.Feel free to leave your opinions, and why I should consider other avenues rather than accepting a bit of Google in my life. As much as I love privacy, your privacy can't be guaranteed if there is no good security. Google may be known for piss-poor privacy, but their open source projects have a lot of security merits as well as good privacy. Do not use this as advice, but make your own conclusion.#google #privacy #security #grapheneos #chromium #technology #FOSS

Es wird viel über „digitale Souveränität” gesprochen – aber was bedeutet das genau? Nun, zunächst einmal geht es darum, eine Bindung an bestimmte Anbieter und wirtschaftliche Abhängigkeiten zu vermeiden. Erfahren Sie hier, wie das Open Document Format (ODF) dabei helfen kann:https://de.blog.documentfoundation.org/2025/11/16/die-rolle-von-odf-in-der-digitalen-souveraenitaet-digitale-freiheit/#foss #opensource #freesoftware #fedilz #office #schule #Verwaltung

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing.https://blog.muni.town/open-source-power/I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink, more so here on the fediverse than anywhere else.But I'm scared and tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.#OpenSource #foss #licensing

@rysiek I sent an email to the Czech MEP's about this a few weeks ago, got one response so far. Trying to mobilize others as well.Edit: Also made a Czech translated version of their page with relevant contacts I share around when possible.

# "Using LibreOffice and other Free software for documents as a lawyer"I was asked recently about how I get on using LibreOffice for document-related legal work, and I promised to write down some thoughts.The short answer is that I use a mix of LibreOffice and other FOSS tools, and I’m very positive about it, with no particular concerns.If you have questions, please do ask!https://neilzone.co.uk/2025/11/using-libreoffice-and-other-free-software-for-documents-as-a-lawyer/#LibreOffice #Linux #FOSS #lawfedi #vim #git #Markdown
