I've been honestly adding Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com> to every commit where I used an LLM even slightly—whether it's generating test scaffolding, drafting docs, or just bouncing ideas. I thought transparency was the right thing to do. Turns out, people see that trailer and immediately assume the whole thing is “vibe coded” AI slop, no further questions asked. The irony is that being honest about my process is what's getting my work dismissed.

Now I'm genuinely torn. Do I keep the trailer and accept that some people will write off my work at a glance? Or do I drop it and lose something I actually believe in? It's frustrating that there's no widely understood distinction between “I prompted an LLM to write my entire app” and “I used an LLM as a tool while writing my own code.” I don't have an answer yet—just sitting with the discomfort for now.

All the "AI" products they developed would have been impossible without exploiting the creations and personal information of millions of people without their consent.

This is happening without any compensation for the hard work and data of the people without whom their technology would be impossible.

They are making billions from this exploitation.

Is this something you support?

“Trump's AMBs🚨are raising cash from cos for USA 250-rlt celebrations, incl a rodeo & a🎄lighting at the US embassy in Singapore.

“I need your💰” -US AMB for Singapore, A Sinha, told execs at a dinner sponsored by Philip Morris.”

One would think that these CEOs would stop the grift. Trump will continue to gouge them, & take a larger share for himself. He’s making Orban look like an amateur.

Now problems vs. forever problems

When I hear criticism of or scepticism about AI code generation, in my conversation with often quite experienced software engineers, it often goes something like this: “I tried it and it didn’t work” or “the code quality was terrible.” Fair enough. But then I ask: when was that? Six months ago. A year ago. Sometimes […]

We talk about forgetting some of you might not know this project.
is a full ActivityPub server running on your device. Currently on Android, next on iOS.
We already introduced DMs and identity through custom domains. You own your followers, your keys, and your identity. Relays are just infrastructure.
On the footer of holos.social we added pages explaining the project. Have a look!

Hey everyone,

I built nixmate, a terminal UI that brings together the NixOS tools I found myself using daily but scattered across different commands.

10 Modules, Pipe support, lots of themes, EN/DE, works over SSH.

Try it: nix run github:daskladas/nixmate

Repo: github.com/daskladas/nixmate

Written in Rust, MIT licensed. Its my first public Project, so rough edges are expected — feedback and issues very welcome!
