@rysiek @stinerman @gytisrepecka @thisismissem To be more correct: this is how BDFL projects *stop* working.

@jwildeboer I'm a bit torn about what would happen if we *actually* made FLOSS "political".

Remember, we've got a significant percentage of folks who idolize Elon et al (still! the mind! it melts!), and statistically speaking, it's very unlikely there's no ... in the FLOSS communities either.

I absolutely think we should though; FLOSS events *should* be progressive beacons.

Tech workers don't need unions.

We can, after all, just hop jobs if we want significant salary increases. We all love intermittent employments and hustle culture. We dislike forming stable attachments, becoming experts on projects, or seeing them to fruition.

9,4% p.a. - or a total of 38% for the next four years - is something every single one of y'all individually successfully negotiates, right?

@bkastl Ja, wobei der erste Smart, also, ich habe in den einfach wirklich nicht reingepasst mit meinen 195cm (bzw wirklich nur als Fahrer, Beifahrer ging schon mit 25 nicht mehr, mit meinen 46 Jahren müsste ich vermutlich direkt hinterher zum Orthopäden ), der war schon ... sehr kompakt.

(Meine Lösung ist ja eh kein eigenes Auto zu haben, insofern.)

@bkastl Fair, wobei man sagen muss, dass das heute eher so ca 40k wären, grob inflationsbereinigt.

(Und ja, VWs Mimi derzeit ist absurd und neoliberale Ausbeutung, nur damit ich nicht aus Versehen als VW-Versteher rüber komme.)

The "Open Source" AI Definition 1.0 is ... uh ... not very good, is it?

That's like allowing someone to claim they're publishing "Open Source" because they tell you where to go buy the source code.

The models/weights section doesn't even specify which licenses might satisfy.

This is open-washing.

Very sad that, for a lot of the covid-safer community, folks are only making their updates available on X.
Predictions, estimates, updates to the virus.sucks site ... Sigh.
I really don't want to give views to the platform that helped create this fucked up denial reality.
