"Princess Celdervinn of Méusine Kingdom"
Her parents insisted on a royal portrait of Cel when she was a teen. She really dislikes it to this day.

Please please please look at the frame it literally took longer than the portrait itself 😭💔

LLM coding assistants didn't create a split between craft-lovers and make-it-go developers. They revealed one that was always there.
For craft-lovers, what's being bypassed isn't the output but the act itself. Marx called this separation from the act of production. But the alienation isn't coming from the LLM. It's coming from a market that penalizes whoever produces output more slowly.
@lcamtuflcamtuf 
gotta say getting hammered to that effect is truly some heavy lifting
Hey 
@kde with the recent birthdate field being introduced into systemd and the lead developer being obnoxiously stupid about it, Plasma desktop relying more on systemd feels wrong.
Given the circumstances, I urge you to please reconsider systemd dependency on KDE platform and if possible, please think of alternatives.
When you said X11 is getting axed from the codebase, I was ok with because Wayland has improved significantly over the years and offers more almost all the functionality from X11; systemd is different.
This post is an attempt to make my case as a (happy and satisfied) KDE Plasma user for few years so please think again about getting in bed with that project.

I finally finished a project I have been working on for a couple of weeks now: gdlike, a lightweight C++20 toolkit for working with binary #Godot data from your C++ code.
What it provides:
* Lightweight representations for the Godot variant/type system
* Facilities for reading and parsing the binary Godot formats (pck, scn)
* Lightweight node and scene tree representation
This also marks my change from GitHub to #codeberg as a hosting provider!
Check it out at https://codeberg.org/znurre/gdlike
macht mich schon wieder so fertig, dass es in der diskussion um den fall #ChristianUlmen nun ausschließlich um gesetzgebung und bestrafung geht.
also ja, rechtliche handhabe muss natürlich (!) möglich sein und schutzlücken müssen geschlossen werden.
aber wenn wir jetzt schon wieder (hallo #aufschrei debatte, hallo #MeToo, hallo #pelicot etc.) nicht auch über gewaltprävention sprechen, dann kommen wir mit dem tatsächlichen #gewaltschutz leider nicht weiter.
Which one? Comment! 🐧

Something changed in November 2025.
whats interesting about petname systems like https://www.inkandswitch.com/backchannel/ is that they mesh extremely well with the arguments i made in 2019 that in order to have a programming experience that did not privilege one written culture over another you had to abandon the notion of "human-readable names" at the level of APIs and libraries. i used the terms "display names" and "canonical names" but the ideas are quite similar. makes me feel like the underlying problems are related.

How Google Maps is shaping where we eat.
Josh Toussaint-Strauss discovers that great restaurants are disappearing on Google Maps, despite having lots of reviews and high ratings, so he sets out to get to the bottom of it and finds out that what Google Maps shows us isn't necessarily what we want to see

< F/OSS Histomat: We Should Reclaim LLMs, Not Reject Them

The author argues against withdrawing from AI — instead proposing a Training Copyleft license (a GPLv4 / TGPL), following the same pattern as GPLv2 → GPLv3 → AGPL, each evolving to close new exploitation loopholes.
Histomat of F/OSS: We should reclaim LLMs, not reject them
A few days ago, I came across a blog post titled On FLOSS and training LLMs that articulates a growing frustration within the free and open source software…

QCon London 2026: Kleppmann on...
The obvious answer is copyleft-type licenses.
(1) Has anybody done legal analysis on that beyond the obvious? I don’t think LLM training on copyleft code has been tested in court yet…? (Even LLM training on more restrictively licensed works seems to be surviving court challenge….)
(2) Are there copyleft licenses (i.e. “derived works must be similarly licensed”) out there that don’t have the Stink of Stallman on them? Or is GPL v3 still just the way to go despite the smell?

@inthehandsPaul Cantrell The only court case I know of is this: https://githubcopilotlitigation.com/
I have no idea how it's going (or how it went).
Reminder in ten years from now that the bankruptcy of companies like Volkswagen and Ford (and why we all drive Chinese cars now) will have been fully the fault of short-term gains oriented greedy CEOs and the politicians that accepted bribes from them
