I was upgrading installations of two different FOSS projects and started to suspect that their code being modified in a vibecoding style, mostly by the fact that previously robust solutions had to be fixed in their release version just to be launched.

That made me to question myself: what's the point of doing so in a relatevily small, single-purpose project, which isn't actively moving by any company interest?

Do the author(s) simply hate to code?

I have never noticed in all the articles about Solonevich that he moved to South America and died here, in Montevideo.

- $work organization uses MS suite and services, Teams included
- any email coming not from the org's domain marked as from an external source, Teams included (ie Teams message notifications sent to your email) with a banner on top
- (training) phishing email sent, mimicking Teams notification
- I clicked on link in it and saw a "in reality you'd be phished!" and then assigned to took a training in a phishing mail awareness that is completely "AI"-generated and doesn't talk about mails

In my book it's an absolute ass-clownery: if your prevention mechanism alarms about every email, it's useless; and also you choose to make it useless

I didn't pay much attention at first to this DeepL usual T&C update notice, but then I revisited it and "ah shit, here we go again":

Quote:
On April 14, 2026, we’ll update your T&Cs to reflect, among other things, the fact that DeepL no longer processes data exclusively on its own servers. This enables us to add Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a new DeepL subprocessor. Adding AWS improves the reliability, scalability, and technical infrastructure of our services, meaning processing can be carried out on a global scale.

Finally I switched translation engine from DeepL to LibreTranslate - that added languages like Thai and Taiwanese Mandarin into what could be handled by the Mastodon "translate" facility. As I follow some amount of people from Asia, it was a pain to translate what they wrote (either by using the in-browser or even going to a dedicated service). One last bit is to go after those who don't set their language in profile (or in toots) and ask to do so. Pretty small bit, like 80% of what's left :)
