@lightweight@mastodon.nzoss.nzGoodness me! I just had a vision of a smart, committed leader of Aotearoa who, instead of a self-interested wilfully ignorant sycophantic pud working for his campaign contributors, is in the role out of a sense of duty to the least fortunate NZers and posterity. Someone considered, well read, well spoken, with a rapier wit, grasp of nuance, & lashings of gravitas.
It was glorious!
And now it's gone. But that's what we're working towards.

@azonenberg@ioc.exchangeFolks who have successfully bootstrapped a complex open source project from a solo endeavor with occasional third part PRs up to something with multiple core developers and lots of more casual contributors: how do you handle the balancing act between conflicting responsibilities?
I'm sitting on top of 250K lines of complex multi threaded C and GLSL HPC code in ngscopeclient and it's been a constant struggle to clean up decade old technical debt to make it easier for new devs …

@geant@mstdn.socialEvery year, a new group of students & recent graduates joins the GÉANT Trust & Identity community. Not as observers, but as contributors working on real challenges alongside experts from GÉANT & European #NRENs.
That's what the Trust & Identity Incubator Mentorship (TIM) programme is about.
Cycle 12 is now open, and we're looking for the next group of curious, mo…

@jerome@jasette.facil.servicesWhat i like about this article from @… on the Billy Bishop Toronto airport is that it looks a the numbers.
Even if we ignore the whole noise and gas pollution, this airport is not doing so well since they introduced the train to Pearson and it's unclear how adding jets would fix it.

@toxi@mastodon.thi.ngAI bros are just loving open source — loving it to death... maybe quite literally! (Godot being latest popular example[1])
More and more projects are impacted by floods of bogus AI pull requests and resulting discussions, stealing precious time and nerves away from their maintainers doing actual productive work. More buggy and insecure software (incl. commercial offerings) due to slopcoding, more websites getting attacked daily by AI crawlers in desperate search for any new bits (liter…

@metacurity@infosec.exchange“The most immediate danger is the proliferation of high-quality, automated attack infrastructure. A novice actor can now purchase a ‘Lateral Movement Skill’ developed by OpenClaw's contributors and instantly gain the sophisticated capabilities of a well-funded group. “
This is the best articulation I’ve seen about what OpenClaw is and the mind-blowing dangers it poses., as well as best defense strategies. I’m not sure most organizations are prepared. We are all in for a very wild r…
@johl@mastodon.xyz"#Wikipedia editors have implemented new policies and restricted a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article."
@stefan@gardenstate.socialI keep finding these youtube "news" channels that are one person with no other contributors and brand themselves as "non-partisan" but if you dig deeper and really poke around they are always conservative.
Latest I found was "smartHer news". She is former fox news host. Has 24k youtube subscribers.

I think this might promote cultish userbases depending on the trust system.
It's probably easier to include a checkbox in PR templates so contributors can confirm that no AI tools were used.
@lanefu@social.linux.pizzapro-tip: If you want to reflect more contributors on your GitHub project.... just add a bunch of external projects into your repo via git subtree.

@keithp@fosstodon.orgpicolibc has been reformatted with clang-format. All PRs will now be checked to make sure they are formatted correctly, so any pending requests will need to be fixed and resubmitted. I'm looking forward to having only one coding style to deal with.
Thanks to all of the picolibc contributors over 2025 and best wishes for 2026.
