On the one hand, I'm getting a bunch of utility out of ChatGPT.

On the other hand, I got rickrolled by the goddamned AI.

"[O]ne of Hollywood’s greatest tricks has been convincing the creators, whom Hollywood itself is exploiting, that the copyright tool they’re using for said exploitation is in the interest of artists." - @mmasnick

"Move fast and break things" is just a euphemism for "Move fast and externalize the costs".

Never had as much envy for a conference as watching the posts about #fossy

The first video from #FOSSY is out! 🎉 If you have been following our writing, you know our Policy Fellow Bradley M. Kuhn wrote about the recent RHEL policy change. As a continuation of that discussion, he led a keynote panel at the conference to discuss the issue with representatives from AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux and Oracle.

Rough sketches of a few speakers at the just concluded #fossy conference here in Portland.. I leave it as an exercise to match the speaker to the talks!

Gave a talk at #FOSSY yesterday about #ReproducibleBuilds and #BootstrappableBuilds and how close we are to actually counter the infamous #TrustingTrust attack.

The slides are packaged as a Debian package, including a signed .buildinfo file, so you should be able to recreate my slides bit-for-bit identically!

However, my actual talk included a fair amount of non-determinism, thanks for all the great questions!
