Are these personal or corporate friends? Or the personal corporate friends one typically gains after passing certain treshold of github stars? You know, the nice marketing & sales friends who milk you for PR value based on popularity metrics. Buddies that see you as product, hook you as bait.
After all why mention github if you know these people on personal basis? I know plenty people working at big tech whom I respect based on their values and actions to back them up. No need to list employer.

[Spiegone del mattino ☕] potrebbe anche diventare una rubrica 🤫
Il motivo per cui ultimamente parlo di Software Libero, Open Source e software proprietario, è perché secondo me le persone, anche quelle interessate a non usare il software prodotto da una grande azienda, spesso non hanno ben chiare le premesse.
La questione del Software Libero è "antica", informaticamente parlando, risale agli anni 80.
Le distinzioni specifiche si sono formate durante questi anni e hanno portato a tutta una serie di differenze sostanziali nel modo di concepire l'informatica.
La distinzione fondamentale secondo me è quella tra: avere un'idea di in che direzione dovrebbero andare le cose oppure rilasciare un botto di codice che comunque è utile avere pezzi per costruire cose.
Secondo me il Software Libero rientra nella prima categoria e sono abbastanza d'accordo sull'idea che esprime.
Ci sono altre idee, con cui sono meno/non d'accordo e poi ci sono "non idee" nel senso che tutta questa filosofaggine passa in secondo piano.
Quindi insomma, no, non è automatico, secondo me, che: una cosa è gratis/open/l'ho presa su [distributore di cose open di fiducia] o chi per esso -> sto andando nella direzione giusta.
Bisognerebbe sempre controllare la licenza, in teoria.
Poi...nella pratica al momento se volessimo usare solo Software Libero dovremmo recuperare qualche macchina un po' vecchiotta e...probabilmente sarebbe più complicato usare internet. Per non parlare dei telefoni con Android.
Questo non toglie che secondo me è una direzione in cui andare, quindi se possibile sarebbe preferibile preferire quello.
E controllare.
Controllare è parte dell'essere fruitori consapevoli invece che utenti pecore.

Either Palestine… or Fire[hell], Generation After Generation: PFLP
In the face of the renewed Nakba… we resist, we unite, and we move toward return and liberation.
To the masses of our steadfast people in the homeland and diaspora…
To the free people of our Arab nation…
To the free people of the world everywhere…
On May 15th, we mark the 77th anniversary of the Nakba, our open wound that has not healed, and a painful turning point in human history, when zionist gangs, with the full support of colonial powers, committed one of the most horrific crimes of the modern era: the systematic ethnic cleansing of our Palestinian people, their displacement, the destruction of hundreds of cities and villages, and the planting of a racist settler entity on the ruins of our homeland.
The Nakba represented a pivotal moment in the history of our people, a profound revelation of the nature of the zionist project as a racist, colonialist, and uprooting tool aimed at erasing Palestinian national identity and existence, seizing land, and displacing the Palestinian people. Since that moment, the chapters of the Nakba have not ceased, but have continued in renewed forms of killing, massacres, expulsion, discrimination, impoverishment, and siege.
Today, the Nakba is being replayed in a more bloody and barbaric form in the Gaza Strip, where our people are subjected to a genocide war unprecedented in modern history. The occupation machine is carrying out the most heinous forms of killing, destruction, starvation, and displacement. Hospitals, schools, and displacement camps are being bombed amidst a stifling siege, international complicity, international silence, and direct American partnership.
On this painful anniversary, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, while commemorating the steadfastness of our people across the homeland and in exile, from Gaza to the West Bank, from Al-Quds to the 1948 territories, and from the diaspora camps to forced exile, affirms the following:
First: Our conflict with the zionist entity is a comprehensive, historic struggle that will only be resolved by achieving our people’s full national rights, at the heart of which are the right of return, self-determination, and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state on all Palestinian soil with Al-Quds as its capital. The Palestinian cause will remain the core of the Arab-zionist conflict until the roots of the Nakba are eradicated and the occupation ends.
Second: The true response to the Nakba and its repercussions is to build a unified resistance front and formulate a comprehensive national strategy that embraces resistance in all its forms, with armed struggle at its forefront. This strategy reaffirms the PLO as a comprehensive and unified national framework, based on partnership and democracy and in accordance with national consensus decisions. This strategy aims to block the path to monopolization and hegemony, harness the energies of our people wherever they reside, and enable them to express their will to resist the occupation until liberation and return.
Third: In light of these ongoing chapters of crime, the top priority today is to stop the genocide war against our people in the Gaza Strip, end their suffering, break the siege, begin reconstruction, and embark on a political path based on the inalienable national rights of our people.
Fourth: We warn against attempts to impose renewed “Nakba” under the guise of expansionist colonialist liquidation projects such as the “Abraham Accords,” a “New Middle East,” and other dubious schemes aimed at liquidating the Palestinian cause.
Fifth: Confronting attempts to liquidate the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) is of paramount importance in light of zionist-American plans aimed at erasing the refugee issue and the right of return.Targeting UNRWA in Gaza—through the destruction of its facilities and staff, the closure of its institutions in Al-Quds, and the prevention of its operations in the West Bank is part of a systematic plan to liquidate the refugee issue.
Sixth: We renew our call for complete liberation from the Oslo Accords and its consequences, ending the PA’s obligations resulting from them, halting security coordination and all forms of persecution of the resistance, reversing all dangerous and arbitrary decisions regarding allocations for the families of martyrs, prisoners, the wounded, and the freed, severing all forms of dependence on American-zionist projects, and moving towards building a unified arena of struggle that expresses the free will of the Palestinian people.
Seventh: The masses of our nation, its intellectuals, and its vital forces must rise up to support our struggle and confront the genocide war against our people. They must reject all forms of normalization with the zionist enemy, and confront the project of neo-colonial hegemony and plans to fragment the region.
Eighth: We salute with reverence the steadfastness of the brotherly Yemeni people, who have faced aggression and blockade for years. Today, they continue—through their courageous positions and popular and official initiatives—to provide support for our cause and affirm our unity of destiny and struggle by imposing new deterrent equations that extend deep into the zionist entity in support of Gaza. We also salute the valiant Lebanese resistance, which has been and continues to be a solid supporter of our people and resistance, a partner in the battle to defend Palestine, and a confirmation of the cohesion of the resistance fronts in the face of the zionist project.
Ninth: We highly appreciate the cries of solidarity that have risen from the streets and universities of Washington, London, Madrid, Brussels, Johannesburg, and all the capitals and cities of the world in support of Gaza, in rejection of the aggression, and in support of our people’s just rights. The rise of international solidarity constitutes an advanced front in the battle to stop the war, break the siege, expose the crimes of the occupation, and hold it accountable at the international level.
🔻The masses of our people… O sons of our Arab nation… O free people of the world…
On the anniversary of the Nakba, we renew our pledge to our people, to the souls of our martyrs, to our prisoners, and to our wounded, that the Popular Front will remain a voice of truth, a shield of resistance, a guardian of national principles, and a staunch defender of the right of return, which is neither forfeited nor negotiable. As the wise George Habash said: “We cannot guarantee the future of our generations while the zionist disease remains on Arab land.”
Greetings to our resistant people in all arenas.
Greetings to our male and female prisoners in the occupation’s prisons.
Glory and immortality to the martyrs… and we will inevitably be victorious.
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine

in reply to jbz • • •I have been in software development for quite some time. I have tried vibe-coding several times. I just don't get it.
The AI agent makes fundamental mistakes, and it takes many prompts to fix them. The AI rewrites the entire file even if changing just one line is enough.
Also, just writing the code is often easier than explaining what I want to do to the AI.
It's frustrating.
