I spent the morning giving away cuttings and peach pits at a local seed swap. Immaculately organized, hopefully the first of many in the future. Here, as in most small rural towns, one doesn't expect big turnouts, but the folks that do come are usually quite engaged and eager for more good things to happen. One word in this thank you note from one of the organizers made it all next level worthwhile.

the Glasgow Interface Explorer project's new LLM policy:

We do not accept contributions where code was generated partly or in whole using LLMs. These tools are designed to be extractive and place an unreasonable burden on OSS maintainers, both on the level of individual pull requests and for the ecosystem as a whole. If you didn’t bother writing it, we won’t bother reading.

We’ve been saying this for years now, and we’re going to keep saying it until the message finally sinks in:

mandatory age verification creates massive, centralized honeypots of sensitive biometric data that will inevitably be breached.

Every single time.

And every single time it happens,
the politicians who mandated these systems and the companies that built them act shocked—shocked!

—that collecting enormous databases of government IDs, facial scans, and biometric data from millions of people turns out to be a security nightmare
