I don't enjoy them writing code. The code is always so messy and needs so many changes.

I enjoy throwing Codex code I don't understand and asking "where is X done" or "what does this line do". It's not always correct but it saves me a lot of time.

I also sometimes give it code for review. It sometimes finds actual bugs. About half of the time, but I ignore the other half. Like a better linter.

I really hate LLM generated documentation that I sometimes see now. In my opinion documentation should be intentional by humans.

This is not really covering anything new - BarelySocial did the same thing in 2020 - and is circumstantial at best, but from all the candidates, Adam Back is by far the most likely.

On the other hand, who cares.

It wasn’t always scummy… but there was a definite shift after they got bought. It’s kept getting worse since then.

Then again, this was something like 20 years ago. Back then, Sourceforge was something closer to GitHub today. It was the de facto public source repository. You could even get an on-premise version, IIRC.

Actually, this is sounding a lot like GitHub these days… not sure what that means.

As I've said elsewhere, freshmeat.net was better :-)

For project discovery, definitely -- but not as a source code repository.

Wow, we're dating ourselves on this, but I remember when it was a big deal that SF.net added SVN support. They apparently didn't turn off CVS until 2017!

Yeah, I remember introducing a web dev company to SVN in about oh maybe 2006. Prior to that their "version control" was a webroot full of shit like "index.php", "index.php.old", "index.php.broken", "index.ryan.donottouch.php", "indexTUESDAY.php" and so on.

Yeah no, guys, that's not what I meant. Let me just show you this real quick...

I wonder if enough of freshmeat still exists on the Wayback machine to make a clone, maybe a skin for forgejo?

Simpler times, simpler everything.

Well. We Are Charlie Kirk is a true art. So, you are wrong.

This is a low effort blogspam. (Twitterspam?)

It's also all over LinkedIn. It's all just kind of super dumb imo. One of the worst offenders of note was this security person's ad-riddled regurgitation of it that they promoted on LinkedIn:

When I protested about their shitty website shoving ads down my throat, the answer was - I'm paraphrasing of course, but something along the lines of - of course I need ads! I have to cover the cost of my shitty WordPress site (and what are you even thinking to question that!!?? You outta ur mind or somethin?)

I felt like I was indeed stuck with her in 2010 after that...

OnlyOffice is not really open source. They say they are but they also add impossible conditions to their license. (you are forced to use their logo, but you are also not allowed to use their logo.)

It’s also a Russian company in Russia.

That doesn’t bother me. I’m just looking for a free office program that runs offline and works well.

It looks like the Euro Office suite will improve upon it when it launches and remove the remaining downsides to it.

I am not fluent in Cloudflare-lingo. What is "Dynamic Worker" and how can I run it outside Cloudflare?

The repo says "depends on Dynamic Workers ... Dynamic Workers are currently only available on paid accounts" but the article says "but you can run it on your own hardware".

Oh, Apple Vision. They still sell that, eh. (Do they?)

Euro Office and OnlyOffice drama is not directly related to this office drama.

A different drama
