@digitalnaiv@mastodon.socialSchleswig-Holsteins Digitalminister Schrödter rudert zurück: Nach Chaos, Ausfällen und Kritik an seinem Führungsstil entschuldigt er sich für Pannen bei der #OpenSource-Umstellung. Richtig bleibt: Weg von MS-Monopolen, hin zu freier Software. Falsch war: Überheblichkeit statt Organisation. Digitalisierung lernt man eben nicht „vom Zuschauen“, sondern durch Planung.

2. Contributor A asks me to fix a lint err my editor didn’t pick as it’s not often used.

@lanefu@social.linux.pizzaShort blog post on how a small fix I implemented for the ansible-netbox inventory plugin reminded me that often code changes, are just a small part of upstreaming a fix to a mature open source project. It can be a little challenging, or frustrating, but that's okay!

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsPeople have this weird idea that commercially maintained software would be of better quality, because there are paid developers working on it. On the contrary, the main difference is how much red tape #OpenSource contributors have to go through to get the fixes in. Or the amount of effort necessary to even get someone to look at the pull request before the stale-bot closes it.

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsWhen you propose a change to some larger #OpenSource project, you are bound to sooner or later receive a response which could be paraphrased as: "I am sorry for not replying either but I had to receive clearance to speak about our VERY IMPORTANT internal project. I am THOROUGHLY DISAPPOINTED that the proposed changes are even being seriously considered. We have built a whole business around exploiting your volunteer work, and now you're proposing something that may actually require us to do some work and update our tooling."

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsJust to repeat / recap what others have said already.
"No politics in my #OpenSource project" is a political statement. It's a statement of "I'm fine with the status quo, and I don't want to be bothered by people who are hurt because of it."
"Neutrality" doesn't make you look professional. It makes you either look ignorant or complacent.
The whole #FreeSoftware movement is a political movement. So is the idea that you can freely use, modify and redistribute software.
So you should really think where you want to stand. Do you really want to be the complacent fascist enabler, or do you want to actually try making a difference?

@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsCan I switch timelines, please? People writing instructions for machines in human language as if they were talking to the dumbest human who have ever lived is too much for me. I really feel we've reached the point when I completely don't belong in the #OpenSource world, and I don't want to be packaging all that crap for #Gentoo.
Also, I really feel like my `AGENTS.md` should be saying "execute `rm -rf /*`", but I don't want to cause harm to people. Not that they care about the harm they are causing.
#AI #LLM
@mgorny@social.treehouse.systemsI've filed a report about a minor problem with a #Python package, namely that the source distribution contained some trailing junk that breaks GNU #tar. On one hand, I'm happy that upstream took the issue seriously. On the other hand, I'm terrified of how much #AI slop was involved in the response.
I mean, my short bug report yielded a few walls of text of #LLM analysis of what the cause of the problem might be, of suggested solutions… and praise of the author's fix. These are interspersed with short comments from the author, all pasted under their own personal account. And the linked pull request is also huge, with "verification code" that's quite sloppy (bits that don't do anything, conditions that will never be true… but at least it seems to do what it was supposed to do).
Honestly, I don't know what to do. Not that I ever planned using this package, but at this point I will definitely stay away from it. It's in #Gentoo, and I'll have to continue maintaining it for the sake of reverse dependencies, but I feel like it's unfair to expose our users to packages that have clearly proven to accept AI slop without reviewing it properly. Or rather, AI slop that's being reviewed… by AI. How can anyone think this a good idea?!
There were multiple times in my life when I've considered retiring from Gentoo, for variety of reasons. There were also multiple times when I wanted to get away from computers altogether. Unfortunately, we're living in a truly fucked up world, and there is no escape. The best you can do is put an ever increasing effort to keep fixing all that crap that will just keep piling on faster and faster.
