Or how Amazon manages to enshittify things even outside of its platform...

I think Rich Hickey hit that nail on the head.

Add to this how generative AI is used in the totally wrong context... and then I feel like I could have written this piece. I definitely agree with all that.

This is really a big problem that those companies created for Free Software communities. Due to the lack of regulation they're going around distributing copyright removal machines and profiting from them. They should have been barred from ingesting copyleft material in the first place.

TLS inspection software is indeed a very bad idea. You'd better not have them in your organisation.

Long but excellent opinion piece about everything which is wrong with the current AI-mania.

This debate around licensing, politics and making our FOSS efforts sustainable need to happen. It looks like for now to some people the path forward is defensive licensing? I wish at least we'd first attempt to have more strong copyleft use...

Another field where we can't believe the hype.

Yes, there is a whole host of problems behind wanting data to be the main driver of understanding social structures. This is in fact a mask for the neoliberal agenda.

Yes, this one feature in the standard doesn't seem to reap much benefits... It's sad that it got there.

This is already an old article now. Still the core of it still rings true. The optimistic note at the end of it didn't come to pass though.

Keep in mind this is a rant, so it likely goes over the top a bit. That said, I first hand encountered some of the constructs mentioned here... I find that surprising in such a recent language indeed.

Really captures well the ethos of the moment...

Looks like another certification circus is about to begin...

There is some truth to this. Self-hosting isn't for everyone just for the skills and compromises it requires. We need more widely available solutions without the corporate overlords.

Those companies still don't make any economic sense... It's really just a ploy for fake growth.

So, you derailed and the joy is long gone in your team. This second part shows a possible way forward. Although it's probably not widely applicable (YMMV), the proposed end goal is what matters... If you stop fussing over labels but focus on what matters you're likely on the right track.

The whole Scrum training and certification industry has a problem... and it's been going on for a long time.

Interesting comparison, indeed would a clock like this be useful?

A nice followup which acts as a TL;DR for the previous piece which was fairly long indeed.
