So when did we all agree that sending a one-time password in email is more secure than using a secure password?

#passwords #security

It's officially official, #DigitalOcean supports the #Fascists and has given up on #OpenSource at large.

Greetings Programs! We're less than 48 hours away from @pidgin 3.0 Alpha 3! We've got a little bit more to get done before the release, so lets get to it!

I was going to say "unbelievable" but when it comes to AI every shitty thing seems to be the norm and should be expected...

I should probably write more on this, but this topic just came up in a private chat and want to share it here.

This discourse over #AI in #OpenSource is just the old Proprietary vs Open Source debate from 20+ years ago.

Back then, the proprietary people would say stuff like "Microsoft is everywhere, you can't avoid it", "Linux is a toy OS, real work requires windows", "You're going to be left behind".

Does this sound familiar to anyone else?

#FuckAI

Does anyone have any recommendations for #peertube instances for live streaming open source development?

After #twitch's recent AI opt-out stuff I've been passively looking but haven't found anything.

I could host my own, but I would really like to avoid that if possible as I already have way too much going on.

TIA

#Askfedi

Greetings Programs! Tonight we're writing an AI policy because all that time that AI saves other's has to come from somewhere...

I've been avoiding this for awhile but we've gotten a number of AI contributions recently and I'm tired of spending any time on them, so here we go!

Please spread this far and wide! 🐦

Fucking another AI contribution today.. This time they couldn't figure out our code review so provided a #mercurial changeset in the issue tracker... just fuck off already..

It's only some AI...
> Allow your channel content to train generative AI content models at Amazon. Turning this off does not opt you out of Twitch and Amazon using your channel content for other purposes described in the Twitch Privacy Notice, including using AI-supported Twitch features that benefit the community by facilitating streamer growth and monetization (such as real-time sponsorship campaign assistance), viewer discovery (such as recommendations), and community safety (such as AutoMod)

So we just got a patch to a crash fix that was created using AI and didn't provide a backtrace so I can't actually fix it. I'm so glad everyone is "saving time" using AI because all you're doing is creating more work and wasting more of my time to do stuff like have a formal document that says "AI Policy: NO!"...

#FuckAI #AIAddicts

I'm amazed how often people think that @pidgin used to connect to some public API in #AIM, #YIM, #ICQ, #MSN, etc...

In reality we helped you break the #TOS constantly by using an unauthorized client that only worked thanks to the tireless efforts of reverse engineers.

And FreeBSD looks like my future OS more and more every day....

So Ubuntu announced a new project named Myna. The only problem with that is that that was the name of our still in very early development #matrix client library.

Since it's still in such early development, we're just going to rename that project, if you have any suggestions please let us know!

Reddit (AI I assume) thinks I should share the @pidgin State of the Bird in r/birdwatching...

#FuckAI

In case you missed it, I **FINALLY** published the #StateOfTheBird for April 2026!

I'm not sure why @news isn't showing up for me on @mastodon.social so I can't boost it, but here it is anyways. If anyone has any ideas on why that might be, please let me know!

Hey Programs! When watching a streamer, please don't do this... Everyone makes typos. Trying to call a stream on a typo, especially one their compiler will catch, it's a silly thing to do as it's just distracting and not helpful at all.

The best part of all of this too, is that most of them time this is the only thing they'll ever say.

#OpenSource #LiveConding #typo

Greetings Programs! We're back at it again, 4th stream in 3 days.. I must be sick.. Oh, no? Yeah that's right I'm now under employed which means more streams!

Anyways we're continuing our work on @pidgin 3.0 Alpha 2 and hopefully we're get into some @gaim work today too!!
