Fake—or captive—open source can be defined as software that is released under a license that is not truly open.

Note: This post discusses loneliness. I'm okay. Let me say that again. I'm okay. I feel more connected than I have in a long time. With that said, if it weren't for my friends being open about their experiences with loneliness -- and the encouragement I received to talk about my feelings -- I may not have written this essay. I hope my experience below is helpful to someone and conveys one key point: if you experience or have experienced loneliness, you are not the only one. Let my post below be a testament to that.

So, a little while ago I did an extremely unscientific poll on login methods via Authl on this website. The results of that (measured by folks who accessed my site for any authenticated reason, not just folks visiting the login method poll):

Being invited to an event via text chat is nice because I don't have to worry about masking. I can have the immediate "WTF no" reaction, look directly at it, and evaluate whether that's how I really feel — it isn't always — before answering.

Looks like Twitter has finally cut people off from their API access. Gonna be interesting to find out who was just cross-posting here this whole time.

If anyone ever texts you "We need to talk" text them back with "Yes we certainly do" so that they feel stressed also.

i'll say it again, fascists go after small, marginalized minorities bc doing so gives them an opportunity to establish precedent for broad, invasive powers against citizens in a way they don't think the mainstream will fight back against once those laws are established, they won't be used JUST against us marginalized folks

A while ago, I wrote a little about what to include in a README for a project (https://matthiasott.com/notes/how-to-readme). I now also created and published a README template I’ll use in upcoming projects. I hope it is useful! Any contributions or corrections are very welcome. 🤗 https://github.com/matthiasott/README-template

There was a lot of press about the nasty environmental impact of cryptocurrency (all of it definitely valid!). But it also makes me wonder the same about AI, especially big publicly-accessible ones like GPT - GPUs and accelerators draw a lot of power, not to mention e-waste generated by inexonerable technological advancement, and I don't really see anyone talking about it. Maybe it's a non-issue, I don't know much about how these things work in the background, but surely it's noticeable?

Nóva's law of principal architecture review documentation. In a sufficiently large organization the number of pages in a Google doc is roughly equal to the number of people who will disagree with you either publicly or privately. The only way to ensure your ideas will be accepted and supported broadly is to achieve absolute 0 and never write a doc. If your ideas are too complicated to communicate "at runtime" via audio/text/email or otherwise it will never be accepted broadly by the org.

It feels like this is training users to put their passwords in arbitrary pop-ups and leads to users more open to phishing attacks.
