«we live in a world that's deeply hostile to people who insist on thinking while demanding that they pretend to think. If the mind is an engine, while other societies have demanded the engine not be run, our one insists on trying to run the thinker's mind on fuel oil when it's tuned for gasoline […]

I think this particularly applies to liberals who generally seem to misunderstand a correlation for causation: Places tend to have a high turnout *because politicians/parties are offering them a message worth voting for* - regardless of where they are on the political spectrum. Continuing to […]

As glad as I am about the election outcomes in Brazil and Serbia, the people who claim that "voter turnout" is the panacea to defeating fascism/authoritarianism are just tiresome. And they seem to curiously forget how Germany's Sachen-Anhalt had a record voter turnout to elect the modern […]

@zackbatist @mpadge @joeroe yeah, that's a very particular function of the academic FLOSS development world. And maybe even more specifically for projects that were *started* by a funded grant and thus began from that expectation. Which is (IME) very different from FLOSS developed outside […]

Wow, this is a súper fascinating, data-driven read about now the social dynamics of open source development have changed in the past years. Thanks @mpadge for all the effort! mp | Coding Alone mpadge.eu/blog/coding-alone.html #floss #opensource

mp | Coding Alone
In which I show how, over the last few years, the world has rapidly moved from open-source software being produced and maintained by online communities, to software projects being built and maintained in isolation. By single developers, with ever-decreasing input from others. AI coding tools are now dramatically accelerating movement away from code as a collective endeavour to "coding alone". I conclude by describing how such progression need not be considered inevitable. Every step has reflected the collective influence of countless individual human decisions. The fate of open-source software communities is still determined by us.

Generative AI is presented as "I have to drive an ICE car to work bc there's no public transport" but it EXTREMELY IS NOT It's way more like "I have to drive a hummer to buy shopping" / "I'm paying with Bitcoin" / "Private jet for 15min trip" / "I only drink bottled water". Cheating is tempting!!

My current little kink of the academic kind is to refrain as much as I can from suggesting things I know I won‘t do. And to issue a breath-like hmmm when the other suggests things I know I won‘t do. That‘s how I know I‘m doomed to never become an administrator.
