Protect your human agency at all costs. We need to take care of AI stewardship (now SI), as we need to govern it as a resource rather than a tool.

🚨RSA can get broken faster than expected - cryptographers are calling for quantum-resistant encryption. Brilliant write-up of a very technical topic by @dangoodin.bsky.social: arstechnica.com/security/202... PQC migration is even more urgent. ➡️ Check how Tuta protects you: tuta.com/encryption
Article screenshot on Ars Technica:
There's a new way to break RSA that's faster than anything we've seen before
Until now, cryptographers thought factoring was the only way to break RSA. Not anymore.

I’d like to connect with grant programs, investors or VCs on how they evaluate applications based on their AI policy. Great questions to start with, if you haven’t asked them yet, what LLMs did you use, for what intent, what were the prompts, and how did that help you articulate.

Ever heard of "technological solutionism"? It’s the fallacy that every complex human problem has a technical fix. When we prioritize the "how" of the technology over the "why" of the user's pain, we stop solving real problems and start building toys. We need solutions that serve the community.

Kudos to Tuta for advocating for privacy! This commitment helps the international community stand up for digital rights and privacy. I've personally DeGoogled most of my life -- highly recommend making the switch. #Privacy #DigitalRights #DeGoogle #Tuta

Your street already has milk, eggs, a tailor and a carpenter. You shouldn't need an app, a server abroad or a gatekeeper to find them. Clansurf is a community framework on radios the neighbourhood owns. It keeps working when the internet doesn't. www.clansurf.com

Your street already has what you need. Clansurf makes it findable, offline, with nodes run by the people who live there.

Open Source is real when the person who starts a project sparks a ripple of innovation among its contributors. A new contributor should do better than the last. That’s how you measure whether a project can thrive.

Every repo or link you share can end up in someone's AI. Put the rules where it reads first: AGENTS.md in the repo, llms.txt on the site. Disclose, test, credit, and a person owns the change. It won't stop anyone set on ignoring it. www.joshuapoddoku.com/community-si...

Since Jan 1, I've received 200+ vulnerability reports and reviewed every one. Most looked AI-generated, and some days different people reported the exact same issue. I assigned just four CVEs. Over 98% were AI slop or unverified. This is the daily reality of OSS.

Every thread about AI and open source ends in blame. AI-generated PRs nobody reads. AI slop shipped as code. Maintainers get the burnout either way. I think it's shared responsibility. Both sides have to understand each other for the human part to survive.

what matters the most is your "community" Not the one you built the "corporate way" who come in, get the help, and exit. We need more of natural communities if want to build a thriving OSS tech business.

43% of developers can't tell AI-generated code from their own. GitLab's 2026 report names it as the industry's biggest AI-coding blind spot. From AI Guild Blue: why a better prompt won't fix it.

Design Systems Are Now Interfaces AI Agents Read — Most Aren't Built For That - AI Guild Blue
AI coding agents don't read your design system as a constraint — they approximate it from whatever they can see, and the gap compounds silently. The fix is structural: turn tokens and components into a contract the agent builds through, not around.

I keep hearing folks say "delete all your skills" when a new model comes out. No - skills can be pipelines of work, not just "this is how you interact with a service". Audit, eval, don't just blindly delete. I wrote about this here: jimbobbennett.dev/blogs/skills...

1/8 Commercialization of Open Source, with so many new companies shipping vaporware, abuses the true spirit of the OSS community. Open Source must value contributors, both code and non-code. Sad to see founders with no OSS background take so long to understand this.

AI agents contributing code 24/7 doesn't build community. It just creates review overhead and user noise. Founders who devalue #DevRel forget that code is cheap, but trust is hard. Ever dealt with maintainers dismissing non-code work? Drop your experience below or reply -- happy to help navigate.
