Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Just posted in both communities about what to do since both exist

The highminded part of me says it’s bad that this is happening, especially given the freedom Linux still provides from the other, more locked-down options. And that you may still choose to be a maintainer or contributor without being all-in on AI, and it sucks to impact “innocents” that way. And at least what I assume is Torvalds being judicious and not purely vibe-coding is better than people who type “make me a kernel” and expect the world.

The petty part of me says “okay, your project won’t be part of the anti-AI ideology, glad to see your project suffer because of it then, even if just in this way.”

I’m lucky enough to sometimes take public transit that publicly posts its data on arrival times and the like. Have been working on a script to tell me when there’s a track change (which changes where I need to wait for the train) because I’m a lazy person who wants to just have a notification fly across my phone screen instead of actually checking on the website. Currently working on testing some functionality before dumping it on my Raspberry Pi. I usually work on this while on the transit, but hopefully I’ll do some of it this weekend.

Also would like to get working on the bog-standard baby coder personal project habit tracker, to make sure I remember how to do front end, back end, etc. I’ve learned I am more likely to use a system I built for myself. We will see if I get to it!

Eh. I have half a foot in terminally-onlineland and half a foot in normie-land and I don’t use Facebook. One friend moving off Instagram got me to pull the trigger to do the same. It’s possible, and showing people you can and some steps can help make it less intimidating.

wonder if you have partnered up with the various !degoogle communities like !degoogle@discuss.tchncs.de

would be welcome to promote over at !deshittification@thebrainbin.org
