What's shaping up to be among the biggest protest marches in UK history is being formed now! The Together Against the Far Right demo in London has coaches travelling from all over England and beyond. 200+ civil society orgs, faith groups, worker's unions, celebrities and regular citizens are taking part. You can book tickets below, and most areas have concessional prices as low as ยฃ5 for those short on funds.

This is exactly what I'm talking about when I say more people need to understand what "deterministic" means. Using an LLM as a compiler is nonsense even just based on that argument alone.
in this week's article I talk about Mastodon's new Share button, and how a network that cares strongly about open protocols gradually became dependent on proprietary protocols instead

Adding Debian to the disappointment list.
Full refusal of these systems based on humanistic principles is actually very easy.
And reducing their acceptance on the usefulness of their output is exactly the thing thatโs missing the point.

Thank you, Stefano, for sharing this! Iโd add that some choices fall into the realm of โidealโ or 'not idealโ rather than right or wrong. We can look at the end result rather than solely focusing on the best way to get there.
Yesterday I advised someone to continue keeping Word docs on their desktop rather than organising them elsewhere, because their current system is working (for now) and any changes at this point would lead to overwhelm. One step at a time!

Briefcase v0.4.0 has been released! This is a big release, with a significant behavioral change: Briefcaseโs development mode now runs apps in an isolated development environment. This should remove some common sources of error, and paves the way for better compatibility with tools like `uv`. It also adds debugging mode for Android apps, and a new plugin interface for publishing apps - with a PythonAnywhere plugin for web deployment already available!
The proposed handling of LLM in Debian in the latest "Bits from the DPL" is a bit concerning. It misses the mark by acknowledging issues with LLM usage, and then dismisses them all by saying that "As a society, we rarely respond with categorical refusal. Instead, we regulate, reflect, and take responsibility for how we use them." and suggesting absolutely no regulation or reflection (and no particular responsibility other than that which comes with any contribution).
I'm not a Debian developer, just a longtime user (and upstream for an unimportant package). But if Debian isn't the principled, ethical one, then I'm guessing no one will be.
