I (@grimmy) am going to state this as clearly as possible here in the hopes it'll propagate quickly.

#Pidgin, and the other projects we maintain alongside it, have never and will never knowingly accept AI-assisted anything.

We proudly respect all licenses, #OpenSource and proprietary, and will not taint our license with whatever you think AI-generated code is licensed under.

A more formal document is now in the works in the hopes that our precious volunteer time will be spared.

I wrote on why we should be skeptical that "how can we scale-up X?" (be that our open knowledge #commons or "how can we get a European Google", …) is a reasonable framing.

As biologist JBS Haldane (and many planners inspired by him) point out, 'being the right size' does not just apply to animals, but also human organizations. You can't just 'scale' it without dramatically altering its shape and dynamics.

I had a pleasant surprise today. Back around the year 2000, there was a program that let you easily export a blog and turn it into a downloadable ebook — usually an ePub. It was called Bloxp. Does anyone remember it?

Well, today I stumbled upon a project that took that idea and created Bloxp Revived.

I've been using Cachet for our status page for a long time now but unfortunately it seems to keep getting abandoned and I don't have the skill (or the time) to try to fix the issues in the upstream version that keep causing glitches for us.

Has anyone got any recommendations for good self hosted status page software like Cachet that doesn't depend on being populated by automated monitoring data / similar. I just want a way to post the status myself and show an overview of the various services.

If you can, please contribute https://buy.stripe.com/fZe01M5QK2aY97q8ww

Your help will keep the lights on the flagship projects: the Open Risk Manual, the #elearning Academy, the many libraries and tools, and help reach the next level🙏

Open Source calendar platform goes proprietary under the delusion that "AI" means keeping their code secret leads to more secure software.

The move does absolutely nothing to increase the security of their product.
