JOHN CARTER OF MARS (1979)
Acrylic - 22” x 28”I’ve had a special fondness for The Martian Tales by Edgar Rice Burroughs even since I first read them in my early teens. This was the last of 11 covers, so it seemed fitting to have John Carter and Dejah Thoris ride off into the sunset. 1/3

All kidding aside, I wanted to wrap up the series with a painting that evoked the romantic notion of the deathless hero and the woman of his dreams winging off to further adventures against the backdrop of the full majesty of their planet. 2/3

Naturalmente sarò *aggiornato* sul mio benessere psicofisico grazie a un corso di 4 ore nel pomeriggio dopo una mattinata di scappellamento con i pargoletti.
Muoro dall'impazienza di essere erudito sull'annosa questione, a -177 giorni dalla data ufficiale della mia rottamazione.

@silverpill@mitra.social is right that maintainers hold real authority here, and I want to build on that rather than argue against either of you.
The frustration with LLMs is largely legitimate. But “how does this look to outsiders” is a poor criterion for evaluating ethical concerns; by that standard, feminism looks like lunacy to 4chan. The question is whether the concerns are correct, not whether they're legible to the unconvinced.
That said, I don't think making LLMs socially unacceptable is a viable path, and not just because the adoption curve has run too far. The maintainer's authority is real precisely because it's specific: you decide what enters your project. Refusing AI-assisted contributions is a legitimate choice. But declaring LLM use itself impermissible starts to look like “I only accept patches written in Vim, not IDE-generated code”—a demand that grows harder to justify as the tools become ordinary. As maintainer of Fedify, I've taken a middle path: disclose what you used, show you've tested it yourself, and we're fine. See also https://github.com/fedify-dev/fedify/blob/main/AI_POLICY.md.
What worries me more is that the “total rejection vs. total acceptance” framing leaves the actual problem untouched. If we stay inside that binary, OpenAI and the others keep the models, keep the surplus, keep the compute bills externalized onto the climate—with no pressure to change any of it. The ethical problems with LLMs aren't properties of the technology; they're properties of who owns it and under what terms. I've written about this in more depth if it's of interest: Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them and a follow-up Acting materialistically in an imperfect world: LLMs as means of production and social relations.

Storie di quotidiana follia scolastica. Tra circa un mese, a esattamente -38 giorni di lezione dal termine della mia entusiasmante carriera "dentro queste quattro mura scolastiche" (cit.) sono *obbligato*, perché ancora in servizio, a seguire un corso di *aggiornamento* sul tema "Prendersi cura di chi educa: strategie pratiche per il benessere psicofisico dei docenti"
magari il mio benessere psicofisico sarebbe stato più solido senza dover essere costretto a questa bischerata, ma, tant'è...
