LLMs in FOSS

it is incredibly validating to me that prominent foss people who for decades embodied and reinforced the false idea that "all that matters is code" are now predictably falling into the LLM slop fad because, surprise fucking surprise, they never gave a single shit about people and simply rode the movement to have a space where they could whitewash their morality-unencumbered nonsense.

Hey, so, I make stuff sometimes and I'm bad at any kind of promotions.

But if you'd like to listen to some of my music or even "buy" (free is a totally valid price option) some of it, it's at:

ramp-music.bandcamp.com

And if you'd like to read the one short story that I actually submitted for publication (and got accepted), you can read it here -- it's very short (the submission guidelines were only up to 2,000 words):

qtmag.ca/issues/defining-queer

Maybe let me know if you listened/read/liked it?

Happy Bandcamp Friday! i’m not terribly persistent about self-promotion, but here goes

My album Lies in Reach is a 42 minute odyssey of experimental electronica touching on wide swathes of influences; it is also a highly personal story about depression and hope matthewlyon.bandcamp.com/album

i also put together a name-your-price soundtrack for a game from a jam, some spacey-inspired chiptunes matthewlyon.bandcamp.com/album

I donate all the proceeds from my music to local charities or other good causes

The U.S. was targeting a section of Iran where a school was struck, officials told Congress

Courtney Kube,  Julie Tsirkin  and Gordon Lubold

Trump administration officials told lawmakers in closed-door briefings this week that the United States was targeting the area in Iran where an elementary school was struck and scores of children were killed, two U.S. officials told NBC News.

The U.S. knows the strike on the school was not by the Israelis, Trump administration officials told lawmakers, according to the two U.S. officials.

The administration officials acknowledged to lawmakers that the U.S. was operating in that section of Iran and did not offer a likely alternative theory to the idea that the strike could have been the U.S., the two U.S. officials said.

At least 168 people were killed at the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in the southern Iranian town of Minab, according to Iranian authorities, though some Iranian officials have said publicly the death toll could be higher.

if you're trans, non-binary or afab and you make edm, electronica, noise, experimental -- any kind of wild/funky/hard/fast music or sounds -- put it online if you can. there's *so many dudes* and it's *so exhausting* trying to wade through "similar artists" to find music by other kinds of folks. the whole electronica genre seems to be like 95% dudes, it's possibly the worst of all art forms. your non cis-male voice is desperately needed.

필립스 RQ11 면도기 헤드가 단종되어서 대체품을 알아보고 있었고, 그나마 타협할 수 있는 무언가가 나온 것 같다.
* 서드파티 헤드+서드파티 날: 수염을 쥐어뜯는 느낌이 남.
* 서드파티 헤드+RQ11/RQ32 날: 그나마 좀 낫지만 여전히 쥐어뜯는 느낌이 나긴 함.
* RQ11 헤드+RQ32 날: 면도하는 느낌이 완전히 동일하지는 않지만 적어도 쥐어뜯는 느낌이 나지는 않음.
아직 몸체가 멀쩡한 상황에서 날이 없어서 면도기를 바꿔야 한다는 게 좀 황당하기는 한데, 당분간 저렇게 버틸 수는 있을 듯.

It may well be true that we're observing the terminal arc which leads to the implosion and death of the FOSS movement. But suggestion that the deciding factor isn't the attack from without, but a variable from within - the socio-political cluelessness of the movement's own participants. Yesterday's demand to "keep politics out of it" is today's embrace of AI psychosis

And the profiteering has begun. Diesel has reached €1.93 per liter, which is more than 20 cents higher than just a few days ago. But in my opinion, the current supplies arrived at the refinery months ago and were delivered only days ago, at the previous prices.

Unfortunately, there are always some opportunists who try to take advantage of the situation.
