｢ What LLMs in Debian development will do, I fear, is eliminate any incentive to scrap boilerplate or reform policies that require a lot of other senseless human effort. If I had had access to LLMs 30 years ago, I might have just had them generate the rules files, replate with complexity. So they will make Debian even more firmly what it is, and ever less likely to explore what it could become ｣

Modern Dependency Problems (with apologies and thanks to XKCD)

Probably needs more arrows, tbh

Autistici/Inventati's domains have now been revoked. I updated the link in the above post with a wayback machine copy.

Every now and then someone tells me, "We have a decentralized naming system, it's called DNS!" and I say, no we don't, DNS is extremely centralized? And if that wasn't clear to you before, hopefully it's clear to you today.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the neovim home page quotes known white supremacist David Heinemeier Hansson, and the neovim developer deletes github issues suggesting that is not cool. Thank goodness software is not political.

I regret to inform everyone that my copy of QBittorrent escaped its sandbox last night and downloaded a whole bunch of content owned by major corporations, and then my copy of Jellyfin broke containment and added those unfortunately-downloaded media files to its various libraries. I'm conducting an internal investigation to figure out how this happened, which will involve consuming these media files until the answers become apparent. Thank you for your cooperation during this trying time.

Will leave standing here a request of help for my immigrant daughter to not be deported 🙇‍♀️ Please let us know if you know of a good job opportunity for her:

• Daughter is a sensitive, sociable and sunny 19-year-old who likes animals and plants, and worries about social causes. She's been in Germany for 4 years, has telc B2 Deutsch, native-level English, and a (Brazilian) high school certificate. No work experience. Her main skill is drawing (digital and traditional, including animation), and she's also handy with the written word, textile crafts, hairdressing; but she's up for any entry-level job, really.

• She's a legal immigrant, for now, but she needs a formal job still this year to secure that situation.

• A Pratikum also would work.

• We're in the Ruhrpott. She's willing to move for an opportunity, especially if it's a lively and queer-friendly place like Berlin, but there might be difficulties with finding a place to stay given the housing crises etc. Basically it would be good if the job pays enough to cover the living expenses of a young woman living in a WG in whatever place the job is located.

• Otherwise that's all that's needed. It's not important that the job pays a lot, and she has no objection to doing manual labour, officework, cleaning work, odd hours etc. Her red line is no job handling meat or otherwise dealing with animal exploitation, or other directly unethical positions.

Please DM me if you have any suggestions of concrete job openings currently taking applicants, as in, specific positions in a definite location with an address (please not things like "have you tried a warehouse/carework/delivery?" or "have you considered a Berufskolleg/Studienkolleg?" or "have you talked with the Arbeitsagentur?" – yes we have, all of that we have.)
