@mgorny Do you have a trick for verbose output from Python projects that use hatch-mypy, like black? Oh, I see that gentoo isn't compiling black like upstream pypi does ..

Another day, another compiler bug
> MSVC /arch:AVX10.1 and AVX10.2 reject AVX512-FP16 _Float16 intrinsics

https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/arch:AVX101-and-AVX102-reject-AVX512-/11148487

A surprising clang/llvm compiler bug: in certain circumstances, clang 23+ turned fp16 into bf16s!https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/221458

It's frightening to see how easy it has been made and accepted to abandon privacy for "pseudo convenience" using #LLM. Quote from @gregkh :

> "Anything you ever sent to a public model or a model that is off site / off your own machine should be considered public [...] Data leaks."

Keep pushing and track every detail!

What a weekend. Uncomfortable memories of our close call with the 2016 Brussels attacks. I was glad to be in community with my community yesterday.

Oh wow, https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1482124#answer-1698828 worked to restore my session! My file was named "sessionstore-backups/upgrade.jsonlz4-20260624221428" → "sessionstore.jsonlz4"

Oops, accidentality declared browser tab bankruptcy. RIP my tabs, thanks a lot Firefox 😞

Oh, I like this part

#SciWorkflows

Do you make Debian packages on a Debian stable ("Trixie") system? For a quality of life upgrade, consider upgrading some of the packaging packages from the official Debian Backports repository https://lists.debian.org/debian-med/2026/05/msg00018.html

My thoughts on: https://framablog.org/2026/03/19/la-suite-numerique-de-letat-critique-des-critiques/

If you have heard about #LaSuite or believe it is a great idea that states develop and own their core services using #FreeSoftware, and develop skills around it, we should speak up and support these initiatives. They won't be perfect, somewhat puzzling, but it is better and it is not a given. Change won't come without resistance from those who profit heavily from selling services and they have big lobby power and 💰 (from our taxes)...

*Long version*: A blog post (in French) by 💚 @Framasoft traces the evolution of free software development within the French government, going back to 1966, focusing especially on the last two decades. It is eye-opening to see how, on one hand, the state (aka "La Grande Nation") remains deeply fragmented (frequent government changes, revolving doors, shifting priorities), while on the other, it struggles to effectively use the potential of the free software ecosystem ("the bazaar").
It is also a timely warning: as the current push for digital sovereignty gains momentum, with free software at its heart, this progress could easily be reversed by the next election. It's not a linear evolution, but a mined path.

If you enjoyed #LoveDataWeek there is #LoveReplicationsWeek coming up on March 2-6.

There is a core program (online talks at 1pm CET) and you can submit your own events:

If you maintain or work on a codebase related to @cwl please consider filling out this survey about Open Standards participation by F/OSS maintainers https://mastodon.social/@sovtechfund/116056808593765766
For the question "Which SDO(s)?", select "Other" and write "Common Workflow Language project"

Sadly relevant to me today, I just had to turn down a large LLM assisted contribution to one of the projects I'm a maintainer for. While it was disclosed as being a port from another code base with a compatible license, I thought the porting was done by hand and not by 'bot.

As requested, here is a @freexian hosted `.deb` repository for gcc-16 (snapshot 20260119) backported to Debian Trixie (the current stable Debian release) for amd64 and arm64: https://deb.debusine.debian.net/debian/r-crusoe-gcc-16-debian-13-trixie/
List of packages available: https://debusine.debian.net/debian/r-crusoe-gcc-16-debian-13-trixie/collection/debian:suite/trixie-gcc-16-debian-13-trixie/search/?category=debian:binary-package
Need additional architectures, or the cross-compilers? Just ask!

Packaging source is managed at https://salsa.debian.org/crusoe/gcc/-/tree/trixie-gcc-16

The compiler crash I found: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=123584

I'm getting better at making reduced test cases, so please ask if you want help!
