Again and again, demanding work from dozens or hundreds or thousands of unaffected dependents instead of fixing vulnerability scanners does not scale, and is a serious open source sustainability issue.

Okay once more for the people in the back.

"OMARCHY" is a set of fucking config files for Arch linux.

In fact it's a set of config files stolen from other people's config files (not read through and thoughtfully included). No - just vibed into existance via the great big thieving prediction machine.

he didnt build omarchy - claude mashed it up from other places for a cost.

fucking hell.

we need more diversity in tech ffs.

They're over on bandcamp, including a track for the above excerpt from their longer performance where they explain what was going on:

Anyway, good stuff. No "AI" anywhere in sight. Just humans being so authentically, creatively human. Beautiful.

@grimmy Yyyyyup... So I think I got po/ building and installing, finally, but now it seems that intltool-update is ignoring the strings in the .ui files even though POTFILES.in says e.g. "[type: gettext/glade] driver/prefs.ui".

This whole house of cards is certainly living up to my past experiences with it.

Bryan makes important points, then veers into a convincing Pangram testimonial. Oxide is now requiring public statements to be Pangram-negative.

Writers: Yes, in fact, you should use words like "fecund" and "uxorial" or any other less-than-common words if they are the right words for the story you are telling. Use the "fancy" word when the "non-fancy" word doesn't hit they way you need it to. Do what your momma told you: Use your words. All of them.
