I truly believe that LLMs are the worst thing that happened in IT over the recent years (or well, the culmination of the worst thing that's been poisoning the IT world), and I wholeheartedly support all the subversive actions against it, ranging from poisoning the training data to abusing support chatbots to make them unprofitable. However, at the same time I realize that all these actions are increasing the environmental harm caused by the #LLM folk.

It's like true guerrilla warfare. We're metaphorically burning down buildings, and I hate that it had to come to that.

I've been wondering lately if my job is #bullshit.

I've given it a lot of thought, and I think it's not directly bullshit. I'm doing stuff that's meaningful, at least in a narrow scope, both in my dayjob and my #FreeSoftware / #Gentoo work.

That said, with the arrival of all the bullshit CEOs, CTOs, all their bootlickers, wannabe bootlickers, and all the CEO/CTO/bootlicker cosplayers, the whole software industry is becoming filled with bullshit to the brim.

Even if my work is meaningful, it contributes more and more to software that's either scam in itself, used to scam people or pure unadulterated bullshit. Even if the tools used to be useful, they either gain bullshit parts or bullshit dependencies.

I hate this, and it's making me hate what I'm doing.

Let me tell you a parable.

There was a student who was given as assignment of writing an essay. The student found 10 similar essays online. He copied selected bits of different essays. He tediously reworded the result, removed some sentences, added some adjectives and adverbs, shifted some more sentences, added some glue — all with the single-minded goal of covering up the tracks. Eventually, a voluminous essay was complete.

The student has put a lot of effort into this; possibly even more that if he had written it himself. He did learn a bit about essays, though he didn't really practice writing one. He did practice some skills that would be useful in a future bullshit job, though. The essay passes all #plagiarism checks, even though it immediately raises red flags to any human reading it: the sudden style changes, contradictory statements, sentences that don't make much sense in their context. And if he was asked to defend it, he might be in trouble.

So, the student put an effort (though not the right kind of effort), produced a mediocre essay and learned something (though bullshit skills rather than creative skills). Now let's consider a different situation: rather than doing all that himself, the student paid somebody else to do it; and not to *write* an original essay, but to do all the shenanigans described above.

That's precisely what using LLMs is. You tell them to write an essay, so they find and mix random stuff, and produce a mediocre essay. You don't put an effort, you don't learn anything, perhaps you don't even read "your" essay. And it passes all the plagiarism checks.

So how you'd feel if you learned that the guy from whom you've been copying all your homework recently, has been not-so-secretly helping fascist governments commit genocide? And he's quite proud of it too.

Oh right, you'd just say "it's not like doing my own homework will change anything". And then you'll give him your lunch money.

New on #blog: "Money isn’t going to solve the #burnout problem"

"""
The xz-utils backdoor situation brought the problem of FLOSS maintained burnout into the daylight. This in turn lead to numerous discussion on how to solve the problem, and the recurring theme was funding maintenance work.

While I’m definitely not opposed to giving people money for their FLOSS work, if you think that throwing some bucks will actually solve the problem, and especially if you think that you can just throw them once and then forget, I have bad news for you: it won’t. Surely, money is a big part of the problem, but it’s not the only reason people are getting burned out. It’s a systemic problem, and it’s in need of systemic solution, and that’s involves a lot of hard work to undo everything that’s happened in the last, say, 20 years.

But let’s start at the beginning and ask the important question: why do people make free software?

Perhaps the main difference between myself and vibe coders is that we have completely different backgrounds. I've learned coding as a kid, with no friends and no Internet. I didn't do it because it was cool; nerdy stuff was the exact opposite of cool and was likely to get you bullied. I didn't do it because it promised good salary; as a 10-year old, I didn't ponder much about my future, let alone salary. I did it because I was bored, and it was something interesting to do. I didn't do specific exercises, but rather created whatever I've found interesting. I wasn't graded, I had all the time in the world, and I've enjoyed solving problems. Even if I had access to the Internet, I doubt I would start looking for ready solutions and copy-pasting them. My code was always mine, and I was proud of it; at least at the time. Of course, nowadays I do stuff I don't enjoy as well. But I'm a grown man who takes responsibility for what I do. And even if my code is shit, it is my shit, and 100% eco. #NoAI #NoLLM

Just a random reminder that #Qt is not a good choice. Qt is an #OpenSource spew of a malicious company whose business model is based on constant API churn, and selling proprietary security support to people who can't keep up and are stuck on old versions.

Many volunteers (including #Gentoo developers) are spending hours keeping the previous Qt version alive, so people can continue using software that hasn't been ported to the next version yet, and helping with porting. Dozens of useful programs are dying along with old Qt versions.

I hear that #Python folk are going to enjoy their Monday.

https://setuptools.pypa.io/en/stable/history.html#v82-0-0

Yep, #setuptools removed pkg_resources.

Thanks to Eli Schwartz for the advance warning. We're going to mask it in #Gentoo.

EDIT: I've started a DPO thread for this: https://discuss.python.org/t/pkg-resources-removal-how-to-go-from-there/106079

So #GitHub Actions only lets me rerun all jobs, all failed jobs or a single job — not a subset of jobs. On top of that, if I rerun anything, I can't do anything until it finishes, and I can't cancel a single job without cancelling everything. Truly great UX. So now I have to choose between either starting a few very long-running jobs one by one, and waiting for every one to finish before manually starting the next one, or starting all failed jobs, including a bunch of jobs that will rerun unnecessarily.

Sequoia PGP exemplifies everything that's wrong about #RustLang (don't mean this against Sequoia). It features a bunch of different CLIs, which is a reasonable design.

If Sequoia were written in C, these CLIs would probably be using some shared library. If Sequoia were written in Python, they would probably use a shared Python package. However, it's written in Rust, so every CLI is a huge binary with its own copy of subset of shared Sequoia code, built separately:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 12M 10-08 06:36 /usr/bin/gpg-sq
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4,7M 10-08 06:36 /usr/bin/gpgv-sq
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 21M 10-08 08:38 /usr/bin/sq
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 6,9M 10-08 08:38 /usr/bin/sqop
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3,1M 10-08 08:32 /usr/bin/sqv
