Vibe coding provides a tantalizing answer in that situation: maybe it’s too varied to •abstract•, but not too varied to •plagiarize• and call it good.
This is something subtly different from abstraction. It’s not “do this in the standard way.” Instead, it’s “just rip off whatever other people are doing right now.”
A lot of people really want that — and tbh, a lot of them are not wrong to want it. I personally love the craft of programming, but let’s face it, a lot of software out there just needs to look like everything else and be done with it.

Since my job is stable now and I have saved up some money, I have decided to stop accepting donations via GitHub Sponsors and Ko-fi. I would like to thank everyone who helped me over the years. There are people who need the help much more than me right now.
If you needed a suggestion, @… is doing a lot more than me for #Gentoo these days and will certainly appreciate your help. He's also way nicer than I'll ever be.

To the best of my knowledge, Gentoo project does not need extra money right now, but there are other awesome projects such as Disroot or many Fediverse instances that would definitely use some help. However, in general I'd suggest towards supporting individuals rather than projects: people need money to live, and can use your donations directly, while projects are often bound by red tape.
Finally, please support human artists and craftspeople (and I'm counting human software developers in that). Donate to projects and people who resist enshittification and who refuse to use LLMs. They need the money.
Once again, thanks for all.

Fascists, cryptobros, young men who play tons of video games and have very little ethical thinking skill and frame everything as a competition to be won, seasoned software engineers, accelerationists, business guys, Business Guy Grifters, hyper-neoliberal technocrats, wannabe software engineers, kids who dream of creating video games, product designers who want to prototype things, capitalist hangers-on and investmentbros who are looking for the next gamble for their money, Chinese tech company employees, third world techies who use these tools to be able to play at the rich countries tech industry table, edgy young men who want to “decensor" everything including open models, tech enthusiasts who want to try every new thing.
And very, _very_ few women. And very, very few experts.

I'm giving Proton Sheets a try. I do like CryptPad (for a number of reasons) but there are a few things that bug me (mostly the bugs) so I figure testing what Proton has is worth a shot.
(I'd still like to find a self-hosted spreadsheet application at some point.)

So.. I have a theory that burned-out coders prefer AI coding agents. Because at the point of burn-out (and beyond), you just stop giving a fuck. You might still like and enjoy your craft, but when it comes to your job (whether that's proprietary or free software), you just want to get through the day and get it done. And if an LLM helps you accomplish that, regardless of ethics or maintainability or boring button-mashing, so be it.

Best talk so far on day 2 at #LaraconEU was Pete Heslop on how to apply real world UX from restaurants, airports, and hospitals to create better software.

Ekonomia w sieci P2P #torrent jest zepsuta (pewnie w innych jest podobnie)...

Nagradza się seed (udostępnianie) popularnych rzeczy i w pierwszych chwilach walczy o leechers (pobierających), potem de facto można po zdobyciu odpowiedniego ratio porzucić seed i przejść do kolejnego. Długie udostępnianie, czy trzymanie rzadkich rzeczy się po prostu nie opłaca.

Software do prywatny…

Moje ostatnie odkrycie, które pozwoliło mi na przetłumaczenie kilku napisów do filmów, których tłumaczenia nie mogłem się doczekać od kilku lat:

1. Jeśli film jest nieanglojęzyczny, to ściągamy napisy angielskie (w 99% są dostępne)

2. Synchronizujemy napisy do ścieżki dźwiękowej. https://github.com/kaegi/alass

3. Tłumaczymy na polski z pomocą https://git…
