This is the sort of toxic behavior in open source development that pushes minorities (and especially women) out. It's theft of our work: it denies us the history of contributions to the project and improves their own "standing".
No one, no one, gets into the nitty gritty of why someone seemingly "hasn't contributed". The more lines of code and commits that are attributed to @Gargron@mastodon.social, the more sway he has in the project. Anyone would just take a look and say "Oh, Gargron committed the most, it's his project".
This is not "atypical" behavior. Almost every woman I know has had code stolen from them. I've had it happen numerous times at work (which then shows up as a lack of contributions at review time) and for open source projects.
It has real and lasting consequences, both for the community and for the person whose work has been stolen. It's fucked up, it's awful, and Emelia deserves better (we all do).

Ah yes. The forever dilemma of "shall I spend time fixing someone else's bugs " 😂
You can add a step in the role to force handlers to be processed at that point though...
De interessantste serieuze discussies zijn naar mijn mening soms degene die uit een grapje begonnen zijn, maar voel je vooral vrij om me te negeren als het je niet interesseert 😉

Niet super groot nee, maar ook niet verwaarloosbaar. Ik heb in mijn home assistant geen detailmeting voor het fornuis, maar kan op de mains meting wel zien wanneer het fornuis aan staat. Het is meer dan noise.
Inderdaad geen uur aan 5kW, en natuurlijk is takeout duurder dan zelf koken (anders is of je eten shit of worden de koks niet betaald), maar da's een ander verhaal.

This is an attempt to normalize the unacceptable practice of letting AI launder away the licenses of its training data, and to continue the practices of establishing "facts on the ground" that augur towards being able to continue ignoring the licenses of training data. The flagrant behavior of current AI training should not be allowed to continue, and should not be treated as a valid negotiating position from which to "compromise". Do not normalize the violation of Open Source licenses.
Alle verwarmingselementen verbruiken ontiegelijk veel stroom. Een electrisch fornuis kan makkelijk 5kW trekken als alles aan staat.

🐭 just found out that AI job interviews (where the computer interviews you) is a thing and I'm like, if they can't take the time to get a real guy to interview me, then I can't take the time to work at their place
In the world of open source, future you can also happen to be dome other person who gets ticked off enough by a bug you wrote in your 'good enough gor now' script to decide to sit down and fix it. And then maybe do that for other things, too.
And that's just fine!
Sometimes it's the right thing to do though. You can run 'less -R' and the colour codes get passed through unmolested. Or you can redirect to a file and see the output as it was originally intended, later on.
Never when doing further processing though, of course.

Belgium did away with their version of TV licences in the mid nineties, replacing it with direct subsidies coupled to various requirements (in terms of market reach and objectivity) as well as having elected politicians on the board of directors
It solved so many issues and made the public broadcaster become actually interesting...

Next page: 45 minute monetized YouTube video of pictures with voice over and simultaneous text, making it impossible to get the answer except by forcing your way through it.
Me: yt-dlp for downloading the video, whisper for transcribing the voice over into text, chatgpt to summarize the text into 3 paragraphs. "Okay, so it was very boring then" 🙄
me: mentions anything gendery
random: i don't want to hear about that shit
me: saves everyone time and blocks
random_alt: suck it i can still follow you on this other account.
do you want to see my bullshit or not? make your mind up.
So you couldn't be a real programmer before Randall started doodling in his notebook in college, then? 😜
