Subpost about people being upset that Fedora will allow AI genned code in face of potential license violaitons:

• i’m more annoyed by nixos-unstable breaking a ton of packages with a cmake upgrade than i am by fedora saying to just be honest if you are using cursor

further thoughts: It amazes me that the entire two or three days I saw people were discoursing about this, I only saw one person who actually knew the potential problem here was and its that using AI models to gen code possibly violates both permissive licenses and GPL (the former simply not giving attribution, the latter being that it could poison your project with GPL licensed code as well as the same attribution issues.)

I don't think it does but thats irrelevant to what I'm incredibly frustrated by here and it's that so many non-FOSS devs and mere users thought this was about code quality issues, and that AI genned code must be inherently bad and of poor quality. And not only this, but they were by far the loudest voices harping on a debate that was not at all what they thought it was.

Twitter Circles:

• group chats are fine but there’s an expectation that you have to see, read, and more often than not, respond to messages in there. these expectations weren’t there with twitter circles the brief time it existed and i miss it.

• i tell people who get peeved i reply late that DM boxes in messaging apps of your flavor are like email to me where if i see it i’ll still respond at my own time or not at all and please don’t take it personally and yet, le sigh
