COSMIC projects will no longer accept LLM-generated content in PRs. There are various reasons, and I don't want to hurt anybody's feelings. The primary reason is simply our team's load for reviews. 1/4

Apparently there are heated arguments among OpenMandriva maintainers about whether to package COSMIC or GNOME and Davide Beatrici turned to crime to undo the packaging progress. It probably should not be, but it is hilarious to me.

I've spent 30 years with Microsoft but Linux and Pop! OS might have converted me

Linux has saved me from the grubby claws of Windows hell, but it comes with a catch.

Colorado Age Attestation bill update: Participants submitted proposed changes including improved consumer privacy and exempting open source software. Sen. Ball responded this morning that they'll now draft potential amendments. We're making progress.

Today, I met with Colorado Sen. Ball, co-author of CO OS Age Attestation Bill SB26-051. Sen. Ball suggested excluding open source software from the bill. This appears to be a real possibility. No illusions, it's an uphill battle, but we have an open door to advocate for the open source community.

I saw someone claiming that this is short-sighted and that someone should fork it without the new policy, since it would develop at "5×" the current rate. Genuinely, if you think you can fork RedoxOS, and long term improve its development by a 5× for more than the attention span of a grifter, do it.

Godot's GitHub has increasingly many pull requests generated by LLMs and it's a MASSIVE time waster for reviewers – especially if people don't disclose it. Changes often make no sense, descriptions are extremely verbose, users don't understand their own changes… It's a total shitshow. #godotengine

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org

What is documented in the data is *worse*. 35% used AI after being told not too, and 25% continued after getting scolded for it. It's not just deteriorating their skills, its actively making them incapable of learning them again. The fact that Anthropic of all people is publishing this is wild.

Dear contributors to projects I work on, If you are programming with LLMs under the assumption that they will fill in the gaps in your own abilities, I can assure you that they will not. I prefer to not spend my time reviewing code you submit that you do not understand. Thank you, Jeremy
