  • in short, the whole moderation team resigned because of interference from the steering commitee; inb4 palmer luckey crowing about how no-one in the project will stop anduril from using nixos to build american military domination.

    you know, just another day of the fascist takeover of the nixos project.

  • …to “it's OUR TIME NOW”, cf. the most recent two blogs from david heinemeier hansson, palmer fucking luckey in recent nixos thing etc. etc.

  • indeed, but that “90% of my code is now from ai” piece is even sadder than the rest.

  • seems like armin ronacher (originally of the flask, jinja & co fame) has also fallen into the vibecoding rabbit hole; which is generally a pity.

    a good thing that the pallets projects are now independent from him (and if you build python clis, plubum is anyway much, much better than click).

  • spotify, which is a step away in the software catalogue of any distribution that includes flatpak.

  • there's plenty to read; an incomplete list of authors just off the top of my head: nnedi okorafor, ann leckie, martha wells, kate elliott, annalee newitz, sarah gailey, malka older, sarah jane anders…

  • take care and step carefully. there's a moment where the stress from working for a company with goals that counter your personal ethics is going to be hard to bear, and the worst thing you can do then is to change your value system to reduce the cognitive dissonance.

  • david heinemeier hanson of the ruby on rails fame decided to post a white supremacist screed with a side of transphobia because now he doesn't need to pretend anything anymore. it's not surprising, he was heading this way for a while, but seeing the naked apology of fascism is still shocking for me.

    any reasonable open source project he participates in should immediately cut ties with the fucker. (i'm not holding my breath waiting, though.)

  • “let me be really brave and unique: let's imagine culture is how the azadians (or veppers, or the affront, or even the gfcf…) see them. let's ignore the basic fact that this misconception is the main reason why culture's opponents, ultimately, lose. i am very intelligent.”

  • “i have a theoretical doctorate in medicine”.

  • he's claiming he is taking no llm money with exception of specific cases, but he does accept api credits and access to early releases, which aren't payments only when you think of payments in extremely narrow sense of real money being exchanged.

    this would in no way stand if he were, say, a journalist.

  • fuck, i can't imagine someone doing this, even though we do have fascists and neonazis in poland, but man, horst-wessel-lied is a fist-in-the-face offence level.

  • there's a bit more; tanja lange, a notable cryptographer herself and djb's partner was appelbaum's phd advisor (and didn't drop him after he got outed as a rapist).

  • krauss in this photo specifically reminds me of gibson's description of the finn

  • oh, i'm laughing now. it's actually beautiful that it was the anubis' anime jackal girl that forced him to drop the plausible deniability shield and go full queerphobic.

  • that habryka dude sure loves the sound of his voice.
