This morning I went one last time to the camp ground loo and my wife started the car to roll down the windows. @tarly got very agitated, because he thought they'd leave me behind.
Then later today, we visited an open air museum. We took turns going into the houses because they weren't suitable for dogs. I left one through a different exit which brought me back to this view.
We really don't deserve #dogs

"Omarchy should not matter. But sadly it does. As a power grab."
I wrote about why we have to care about Omarchy. As a fascist power grab within the FLOSS ecosystem.

Zuerst war ich ja verwirrt als ich bei der Bierbestellung "3 dezi oder 5 dezi?" gefragt wurde, aber jetzt find ich das schon irgendwie gut wie die Schweizer das mit dem metrischen System durchziehen...

You want to know why Gen X and Millenials are so nostalgic for the recent past and angry at the world today.
It's because we got a glimpse at a world of promise... a world that wasn't controlled by the dumbest, most selfish, greedy, narcissistic people on the planet.
We were worried about things like the giant fucking hole in ozone layer... and smart people got together and solved the fucking problem... It gave us hope, it promised a better tomorrow.
Now we remember that... and look at what's been done... and we mourn the loss of that hope, that promise... that future.

I assumed that Fediverse could really be an open, progressive environment where to discuss ideas and grow up, with different points of view. But what I'm finding lately, is something different. Narration going from "pro AI / glasses" to "no AI / glasses" so if you don't maintain a position, you are just in favor of fascists or perverts.
The last one I had a discussion with, called me "a waste of time" because I made him realize that a sighted pervert can use his own eyes, without glasses, while I fasten my shoes strings, bent over. Instead of joining me, thinking of a proposal to satisfy blind people's needs while protecting privacy, no. The problem is me.
Same for github/codeberg stuff: do AI-built pull-requests ruin open source software? Yes.
Is AI-generated code dirty and unreliable? Yes.
Have hand made coders the right to prohibit automated code? Yes, of course.
But same coders, went on for years saying "I'm an independant coder, a small company, I have no resources to make it accessible to blind, if you need it, make it yourself".
Now, thanks to assisted coding, many of us blind are doing exactly this: trying to solve their gaps by having the bots fix the issue. Then, to help other users (and the coder himself), they place the fix in form of pull request, into the repository. And it's often refused.
But, would the original coder ever solve accessibility? No. I'm alone, it's a small company, you're the first blind user I hear, and similar bullshit.
What, the fuck, should, we, do?
From far-right, I know what to expect: they're racist, ableists, and all the worst. They don't hide it. But I couldn't definitely expect such behaviours from people caring for freedom, ethics, open technologies, etc. I'm fed up of being considered an object who can gladly be sacrificed for purity of something or someone.
UPDATE: on blindness, coding and AI, please read this story, wrote by an experienced blind guy, about the topic:
And as the discussion must be complete, I also add another point of view, together with the one pro vibe-coding.
On the link below, Robert (another experienced blind person) talks about "disability dongle", meaning those super-tech hardwares made for disability, but are more for inspirational videos than for real time usage. Expensive and uncomfortable.
Robert talks about hardware but it can easily be applied to AI as well: it's far from affordable, not with disability in mind, it must be well trained and you use more tokens to get what you want...
I'm not pro, I'm not against, I'm in the middle. Appreciate good, hate the bad. And want the discussion to be more balanced.

Being an open source maintainer sometimes means sitting in a camper van on the German-Swiss border while on vacation and releasing a hotfix for a critical security vulnerability...

Me: Penis! Wordle: no, but it's a word that can be used to describe a penis. Me: uh, round? Wordle: What? No. Like, what about your boyfriend's penis? How could you describe that in relation to other penises you have seen? Me: human! Wordle: disturbing, but no.

![[There is a big "Harry Potter" series coming out on HBO soon and there are many people opposed to it because of J.K. Rowling's transphobia. She is funding trans genocide. J.K.

The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to J.K. Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world. In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don't buy Tesla; and if you're against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products.

Update: the problematic quote was eventually removed after massive backlash. Theres nothing else to do here, please do not dogpile for dogpilings sake.
Sad that a highly prominent fork of Vima project which loudly encouraged its users to donate to a charity to help AIDS victims in Uganda has become an advocate for white supremacy and ethnic cleansing. Just including the DHH endorsement could have been a mistake, but this seems quite explicit https://github.com/neovim/neovim.github.io/issues/501

Currently writing an anti-bots protection for Nginx (in Lua), deeply inspired by @splitbrain's botcheck (thank you ).
In fact, it's not inspired, it's more an adaptation (i.e. same logic, and for now, same HTML page) for Nginx and Lua instead of Apache and Go.
Should be good enough tomorrow for a first release.
You can follow #NginxBotcheck hashtag for updates

@lornajane regarding your recent blog migration. if you miss comments, add them back. I feel like you that they are an integral part of blogging even though the young ones seem to disagree.
Shameless plug: I built a commenting system called meh... I am sure it could run on a tiny digital ocean droplet. it's sqlite based and claude should have no issues to drop your old comments into the new DB. Integration into your static site is a webcomponent.
But there are other solutions out there...

This is, quite possibly, the most entertaining interview i have ever encountered. You simply *must * read it. It keeps getting better with every question.
