I firmly believe #AI will be the death of #opensource software. When everyone, instead of supporting the developers of #foss they profit from, chooses to ask #ChatGPT or #Claude for help, what do you expect will happen? 1/2

I wonder how many people among my German friends would tell me they voted (or will vote) AfD, if I asked them. This reminds me of the old Berlusconi days in Italy: no one ever admitted voting for hm, and het somehow he always won. Dark days ahead.

In case you're interested in the presentation on how I started adding some #QUIC #RoQ and #MoQ to the #Janus #WebRTC server, you can find my slides at the link below. If you've never attended RTC.ON before, I really encourage you to go next year, a ton of great content! lminiero.it/talks/rtcon2...

Apparently SlideShare stopped accepting new uploads a few weeks ago, and never enabled them back again... I was never very fond of it for sharing my slides, so I guess it's time to find a replacement. Which alternative would you recommend, possibly (not really needed) some more open than SlideShare?

Dear #MusicProduction lovers! #FOSDEM opened their call-for-devrooms, and we'd love to have the MP devroom again, but I won't be in Brussels (family reasons) and Steven may not either. Want to help organize this year? I can take care of everything except the day there. Get in touch, reposts welcome!

It seems the crypto community has found a new way to extract money from people. They are creating tokens for popular open source projects and inviting maintainers to get in on the scheme. Here is the email I got earlier today.

Hey Kelsey,

I'm a big fan of your work, especially on kubernetes-the-hard-way.

I wanted to raise some funds for you through the use of a crypto coin using a platform called BagsApp (@BagsApp on X). We decided to base it off of NoCode as it is one of the funniest repositories we have seen in Github. The community really likes this combination of rewarding a strong builder and the funny aspect NOCODE brings.

BagsApp is becoming increasingly popular as a method of open source funding for talented developers such as yourself, with many success stories coming from developers who have taken advantage of this innovative platform.

BagsApp has documentation explaining the entire model, which you can read here: https://bags.fm/blueprint

Another developer Steve Yegge; creator of Gas Town has seen great success with this and has written a medium article which may also bring you more clarity. You can read that here: https://x.com/Steve_Yegge/status/2011632032284369305?s=20

We have currently raised $3,000 and this is steadily increasing.

You can check the funds raised for you and claim here: https://bags.fm/79VXvEt7xSPhvQggeJ75UVqD41yXJwBS44zrstreBAGS

I understand this may come across as shady so, if you have any more questions I am more than happy to hop on a call with you and explain where this all comes from.

Thanks!
