“The thing that made open source maintenance joyful was that someone cared enough about your work to try to improve it. You mentored them. They learned. The code got better. The community grew. That's the social contract.
AI slop doesn't add work. It replaces human connection with mechanized noise.”

Habe endlich mal ein Mini-Projekt von mir “fertig” gemacht: https://ardsounds.tisba.de
Mich störte es schon super lange, dass die ARD in ihrer Audiothek (“ARD Sounds”) zwar alles “Podcasts" nennt, aber so gut wie nichts einen Podcast Feed hat 🤬
Nun kann man einfach die URL von einer Sendung eingeben und bekommt eine Podcast Feed URL für den Podcatcher der Wahl. Die Daten dazu kommen von der offiziellen GraphQL API der ARD. Downloads kommen direkt von der ARD.
Feedback Welcome 🙇♂️💕
Out today:
We placed a tracking device in a shipment of rare books to see which AI company was buying it, and found an Amazon facility where Amazon scans and destroys books.

I've been working on this for three months and it's finally done. 78 pages on the history of leather, sluts, and families at US Prides, from 1965 to 1995. Includes background on Pride as a polyvocal celebration and leather as a queer subculture; multifarious sexual and gender expression at Pride; the Lesbian Sex Wars; reaction from the right; and the interplay of radical and normalizing forces within LGBTQ activism.
