incompetent vibe coders have flooded every software-related community with projects that
-no one will ever use
-could have been a PR
-took 3 days to make
-won’t see a single commit after v1.0.0
this is an overcorrection but the anger is very understandable
The r/OpenSource subreddit has officially banned anything using AI. In any way. Violators will be permanently banned.
Which means… r/OpenSource will ban anyone submitting anything that, in any way, involves… the Linux kernel.

British journalists never reported on their government's direct participation in the Gaza genocide
They were obeying a 'D-Notice' censorship order sent out by the UK military

A schoolteacher responds to Parliament's Online Safety Act Inquiry. He writes that it has made "literally no difference" to safety, censored the Internet for adults, "terrible" for user privacy, and is easily circumvented - by children - with no effort.

Excellent response. Let the Labour Party own the consequences of their idiotic, crude gambit. Let them become the Party that collapsed local government in a cost of living crisis to defend Zionism.
NEW: Sheffield Green Party has refused to disavow the controversial "Zionism is racism" motion, leaving the joint-administration with Labour on the verge of collapse. yorkshirepost.co.uk/news/pol…

Imagine taxing mobile phone users to keep the wired telephone industry afloat. That’s essentially the logic of a Netflix tax to fund the BBC. The world has moved on. It’s time the BBC did too.

Over the past few years, parliamentarians have been passing absurdly badly written legislation and people tend not to care the way they do about the topic of the legislation
It’s hard to exaggerated how easily this could finish us as a nation if it continues unchecked
the UK has introduced new legislation to criminalise (fake) incest and strangulation porn. it is TERRIBLY bad...
- it has to be specifically penetrative
mommy strap blowjobs OK. step sister (vaginal) oral OK. penis? CRIMINAL
- cousin porn is fine!
- if the viewer BELIEVES IT TO BE PRETEND, then its criminal (??????)
so... you can flash huge words that says "THIS IS PRETEND INCEST" over completely legal content and the inclusion of those words make it criminal.
Masterful gambit!

The philosopher Peter Hallward was arrested today for holding a sign saying simply: “In the UK it’s a crime to say I support Palestine Action.”
He’s produced some of the best journalism on the proscription of Palestine Action—particularly this article on the Filton 4…
