  The @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de FOSS Drama continues as predicted with @bizzfed@www.bizzfed.de 🍿 I predict this blog clause will be pleaded by the defendant: "Projects who have an active community that cares about and maintains the software". With my bet for the plaintiff to be pleading the "Projects written and maintained with heavy use of LLMs" clause. #bizzfed #codeberg #fossdrama #opensorce #llm #aiassisted #forgejo

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@bagder/117033719030821287 Leading with "free of charge" instead of "free as in freedom" is one of, if not the worst idea that ever took hold in open source. Other than that: Precisely what Mr. Curl says. 👍 #foss #opensource #freedom

  Yet another sane, well argued take on LLMs by the Linux peeps, this time @gregkh@social.kernel.org https://social.kernel.org/objects/c344af81-b288-42ab-a1c4-4d34111bdd16 Needed none of the usual drama seen in other places. #linux #kernel #foss #llm #aiassisted

  More AI news from AMD, re-use of the better parts of their Strix Halo yield for industrial use cases. "Physical AI" aka robotics and edge use cases. Buzzword galore! 😆 Still remember when "edge" was the new buzzword Pepperidge Farm Remembers https://www.servethehome.com/amds-physical-ai-plans-come-into-focus-as-company-launches-ryzen-embedded-ai-x100/ Something I do find interesting is the claim of hard real-time assurances whilst virtualized with Xen. Technically a gua...

  Looks like the AUR of Arch Linux has drawn another round of fire. This time it appears to be a malware integrated into the build() step that comes with the PKGBUILD repo. Possibly Tor using. If the build() step calls some binary like validator, assembler, optimizer, ... that comes with the AUR repo with sudo and suddenly and unexplained appears in the PKGBUILD be very suspicious.

  So I'm tracking energy consumption. I also tracked the ACs here. The machine runs the entire day on hot days, where hot >32 degrees C. It reaches a 10-15 temperature differential to the outside. It's consumption over the year is negligible and below what the coffee machine consumes. #klimaanlage #airconditioning #qualityoflife

  Quite impressive and detailed pictures of recent GPU hardware. https://www.servethehome.com/asrock-rack-4u16x-gnr2-nvidia-hgx-b300-8-gpu-server-intel-zutacore-review/ Especially the later pages have details on the GPU tray.

  Useful, reality accepting approach by @gnome@floss.social for Gnome extension developers: https://blogs.gnome.org/jrahmatzadeh/2026/07/27/ego-ai-reference/ The blog comment on using the AGENTS.md format is dead on point. Might even turn this into a skill or a non-llm based/deterministic linter or rules for an existing linter. Someone even made a Gnome extensions profiler if I remember correctly. Sure, some people will generate bad extensions still. Just like they do right now. Others might...

  Looks like Flatpak discovery will move from one mostly generally accepted hub to a gazillion of repos since the performative LLM complaints have befallen the possible single hub. (Partially half-understandable arguments, partially performative fluff for my taste) Which is ok as it triggers competition that might lead to better outcomes. (bazaar vs cathedral and all, rite? 😏 ) And removes a possible single point of failure. Now what I'd like to see is an approach that does discovery of tho...

  More fork drama ensuing as was to be expected: https://github.com/flathub-infra/documentation/pull/641 Also, thanks for highlighting the existence of https://flatpark.org/ People hosting their own flatpak repos for their apps is increasing as it appears to me too. Luckily the format, tooling and docs for this are pretty useful and enable easy publication straight from Github actions or the likes. Compared to Flathub a rather pleasant experience. Now what'd be great would be a (forge bas...

  Here's an interesting one around all the "no projects with the LLM taint wanted here" discussion, taking Codeberg as example: Codeberg offers to host binary releases Current (FOSS) software contains hundreds or thousands of individual works as dependencies in deep dependency trees It can be regarded as nearly certain that a substantial amount of those projects will fall under the exclusion or problematic class as per the rules above Once complied to a release binary those "t...

  Todays FOSS Drama served to you by @Codeberg@social.anoxinon.de Tl;dr: Codeberg wants to exclude "vibed"/" LLM'd projects from its platform by means of TOU, hilarity ensues. https://codeberg.org/Codeberg/org/pulls/1253#issuecomment-19820434 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386 (via, also some discussion) Adding one here: Burden of proof and how do you sufficiently prove or refute the "vibed" nature of any given work without falling to arbitrary / unpred...

  One fresh FOSS drama coming right up: https://bbhtt.in/posts/flathub-leave/ Whatever has really happened there - the review and update process of Flathub clearly is cumbersome to ineffective or at least inefficient in my view. As are some policies. Very unfortunate for such a seemingly central piece of desktop Linux app distribution. Let's hope for a better evolution over time... #fossdrama #foss #opensource #flathub #flatpak

  News from the walled gardens: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48821803 See also: https://github.blog/changelog/2026-06-30-upcoming-access-restrictions-to-public-api-endpoints-and-ui-views/ Apparently now GitHub is trying to pull a Meta/Linkedin a la login walls. Their argument is exploitation and excess AI load. While both might be true, this might not be the entire argument and probably defies the purpose of the open access GitHub. 1/2 #ai #datascraping #git #github #opensource #ensh...

  Hin und wieder muss kriege ich ja Windows 11 in die Hände und muss es nutzen. Während Windows 10 noch irgendeine Form von UI Konzept und etwas Konsistenz gehabt zu haben scheint, habe ich keine Ahnung mehr was Windows 11 von mir will. Das wirkt auf mich irgendwie wie einmal alles in den Mixer geworfen und dann über "Oh Gott, warum" abgeseiht. Wer benutzt das freiwillig? Das ist aktuell wie die wirklich frühen KDE/Gnome Versionen der 2000er über die zu recht milde gelächelt wurde...

  Dezentralisierung scheint wieder en-vogue zu kommen. Artikel: Geo-distributed read-only replicas + " Langfristig plant Entire ein vollständig dezentralisiertes Git-Netzwerk." Offensichtliche Frage an der Stelle: Wie sieht es eigentlich bei @forgejo@floss.social aus mit der Fertigstellung der Namensgebenden Förderation zwischen Forgejo Forges? Das wäre ja letztlich die dort beschriebene Funktion abzüglich der Read-Replica. Vermutlich kann man die auch mit überschaubarem Aufwand rep...

  Gammel-OT, jetzt neu: Verteilt, unisoliert, noch verrotteter als sonst. Quasi die Plasterouter-Version von Groß-OT für das es ja wenigstens noch manchmal etwas zwangsmäßigen Effort gibt.
