ploumMozilla has a new CEO who:
- Has been at Mozilla for less than a year
- Has no prior open source experience (but well in "fintech" and "real estate")
- Has a MBA (aka "brainworm diploma")
- Is all-in on AI
That’s exactly the kind of bingo profile the whole community has been waiting for.

SuperDicqBe a sucker.The only thing that surprised me is that Microsoft didn't start doing this sooner.
Make my entire infrastructure dependent on a proprietary SaaSS implementation of Git.
The proprietary SaaSS suddenly wants money from me? How could this happen?

Niccolò VenerandiWhen I pushed back, I think many felt attacked and felt the need to state their disgust and unwillingness to buy from Frameworks. None of which was the topic of the discussion.
The point is, again: falsely claiming that a company financially supports a neo-nazi is, IMO, really bad behavior, regardless of what other bad things the company is doing.
Since we're not on Twitter, can we please have an adult conversation that's able to discuss things in their merit without feeling attacked? [2/2]

Niccolò VenerandiLet's have a serious discussion. Yesterday I mentioned Framework, and somebody claimed that they have financially supported neo-nazi DHH.
To the best of my knowledge, this is misinformation. They never did that. And I think that falsely accusing a company of financially supporting neo-nazis is bad.
When I asked for a source, many chimed in, providing information about Framework's financial support to other projects or other kinds of support to DHH, thus missing the point entirely. [1/2]

SuperDicqMerriam-Webster choose "slop" as the word of the year. Very good choice, accurately describes what the tech industry is doing now.
Meanwhile Van Dale choose "hallucineren (hallucinate)" as the Dutch word of the year. This is a bad choice. This word enables a common misconception that a lot of normies think that an LLM is actually thinking.
An LLM does not hallucinate, it is literally text prediction aka "bullshit generator". It does not know anything at all.

Scott JensonMy Ubuntu Summit talk is up! Where I talk about:
1. How Desktop UX is effectively dead
2. Why I hate the term UX/UI with the heat of 1000 suns
3. How OSS can actually innovate in #ux

informapirata ⁂ :privacypride:Microsoft Copilot AI arriva sui televisori LG e non può essere eliminato
Secondo l'utente Reddit u/defjam16, il suo LG TV webOS ha ricevuto un aggiornamento che installava l'app #Copilot AI di Microsoft, senza possibilità di rimuoverla. Sebbene gli utenti possano scegliere di ignorarlo, la spinta verso una maggiore integrazione dell'intelligenza artificiale nei prodotti di uso quotidiano sta diventando inevitabile, anche sui televisori.
