OK i have to do other things, so summary thread time.

Here is an actual honest picture of a tech anti-AI stance. Please refer to this instead of any pro-AI strawmen you may see.

First, my credentials:

"Make cities safe and fun for kids to run around and play in" is a pretty good guiding light for urban planning

What if gem hosts had NPM-like scopes & your Gemfile could be:

source "https://gem.example"
gem "@duckinator/jim"

OR:

gem "https://gem.example/duckinator/jim"

... what if a PoC patch was 25 lines, and a 1-line kludge meant you can test it against a production server?

A screenshot of running `bundle install` against various Gemfiles.

It shows that, with my patch, you can use scoped packages similar to what NPM provides, if you're using GitHub Packages.

I make fuck ups all the time and I always post my corrections or apologies to people instead of doubling down, and this might surprise you.

Turns out people respond positively to that, it's almost like a sign of accountability and growth as well as genuine proof you don't think you're infallible.

personally if i fell for an AI fake i would simply say "oh shit oops" and then delete my post. it's way less embarassing to just take it on the chin and admit you fucked up than it is to corncob and leave the post up

I will remind folks those images of Nazi book burnings aren't burning just any books. They're burning the library of Magnus Hirschfeld; a gay, Jewish doctor who created an institute dedicated to LGBTQ sex education and healthcare. And a man who pioneered gender affirming care surgeries.

when somebody discloses a security issue to you, you (a) fix it, and (b) thank the person who responsibly disclosed it. sending legal threats in response is not only not acceptable community behaviour, but actively concerning from a security standpoint. it means you are sweeping vulns under the rug.

in which rubycentral displays an astoundingly irresponsible response to a security disclosure.

Ruby Central posted an extremely concerning “Incident Response Timeline” today, in which they make a number of exaggerated or purely misleading claims. Here’s my effort to set the record straight. Fir...

someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue.
it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

you say this as if there haven't been extremely high profile exceptions that your team has made on a regular basis.

Aaron Rodericks @aaron.bsky.team · 5d

We know it’s frustrating to see bad behaviour elsewhere. But trying to police the entire internet isn’t possible for any team — and making exceptions about when to do so only adds confusion and inconsistency. 9/9

this piece is really good though, I especially like this part

"The language of creativity has been subsumed by capitalism." oli Mould wrote in his book Against Creativity. "Being creative today means seeing the world around you as a resource to fuel your inner entrepreneur." Art is no longer Swift's priority, if it ever was. We don't have to approach and criticize this album as art, because it isn't art. The Life of a Showgirl is made of Shein quality rip-offs of other people's songs that are constructed shoddily and sold in ginormous quantities. Art takes time and care. This is profit. It's content.
