Since honesty is kindness, Microsoft is by far the worst company I ever had the displeasure of trying to communicate with. Getting them to fix the most basic of bugs always took years. In some cases it’s been over two and a half decades and it’s still broken.

I never thought it was even possible to make an operating system so broken, I’d have to manually restart my background services and set “network interface metrics” by hand, in advanced TCP/IP settings, while using it.

There are buttons that don’t even do anything when clicked and ones I’ve never seen do anything other than throw an error message.

The AI they rent to pretend to be an AI company, was for years outputting paragraphs, describing the beautiful and artful checkerboard pattern in the background, whenever trying to analyze transparent images. Transparent profile pictures work only on GitHub, the one product where the implementation was done prior to Microsoft acquisition.

Many engineers in their own forums, still manage to make that very AI sound smart, in comparison.

The design is an absolute shitshow, where no two things look like they belong in the same system — the only thing almost consistent, is excessive padding and rounded corners, placed wherever they fit the least.

But hey, 5000 engineers were fired, that will surely improve things!

I’m not aware that OpenBSD has an explicit “no AI” policy like NetBSD, but, uhm, the song for the 8.0 release makes it pretty clear. 😅

https://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#80

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org First this:

I have seen black sheep that actually improved the code base

And now a coworker actually reviewed an AI PR today. With criticism!

Hell is freezing over!

In the age of AI, PR reviews at work only serve these purposes:

• A PR makes me vaguely aware that something exists. Like, I now know that there’s a component over here that probably does something with this other component over there. Maybe.
  
• I can “gauge the risk”: Is this something that I can simply throw away once it breaks? If not, I’ll have to bite the bullet and start a more detailed discussion about what the flying fuck your 8000 new lines of code actually do. And then you’ll pull the “but I don’t have time for this discussion”-card and we merge anyway.
  
• Shift the blame from author to reviewer: “It passed review! The builds were green!”
  
• I don’t need pills anymore to raise my low blood pressure.
  

It’s so disheartening to see everyone vomit out bullshit. “You can use AI responsibly and actually make the code better”, my ass. Nobody does that. Not a single soul. No human. Ever. None. Nobody.

There appears to be a rush a disgruntled Linux users switching to NetBSD:

https://mastodon.sdf.org/@netbsd/117451701775023949

They even got a ton of new donations (which, funnily, broke their little progress bar):

Image

https://cannot.understand.computer/kunev/p/1791449917.947134

So… donations for @netbsd@netbsd over the last few years look like this:

2020 - $46k
2021 - $52k
2022 - $44k
2023 - $60k
2024 - $40k
2025 - $79k

And in 2026 $120k so far!

And why is all that? Because of this:

Do not commit tainted code to the repository.

If you commit code that was not written by yourself, double check that the license on that code permits import into the NetBSD source repository, and permits free distribution. Check with the author(s) of the code, make sure that they were the sole author of the code and verify with them that they did not copy any other code.

Code generated by a large language model or similar technology, such as GitHub/Microsoft’s Copilot, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, or Facebook/Meta’s Code Llama, is presumed to be tainted code, and must not be committed without prior written approval by core.

https://www.netbsd.org/developers/commit-guidelines.html

This official guideline is much more “tame” and “diplomatic” than the overall “vibe” (sic) on the Fediverse: NetBSD basically says no to AI as much as possible.

And, apparently, this attracts lots of users and donors. Maybe there’s still some hope after all?

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I guess there is not really a point I was just talking about how I ai coded a twtxt client. Though I am able to get away with it working well because twtxt is simple and this software is simple.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Right now I am using my ai coded twtxt api to edit the twtxt.txt file directly with the api. As well as my ai coded twtxt desktop and mobile clients to go with it. Though the code at least for the desktop client is just a single python file. Plus I do know in the future it might be unmaintable.
I am not the type of person to be like “wow do everything in ai this is so great”
The entire reason I tried ai coding a twtxt client was because in an irc channel someone was like “twtxt is so simple even ai can do it” and then I get a five year old (the ai) to do it and because its simple its actually done. I don’t excpect it to be the best ever compared to the human coded twtxt stuff but at least it gets me back on twtxt. I don’t like every other twtxt client that much.

@itsericwoodward@itsericwoodward.com

and/or the people in charge realize that “enterprise-class” and “vibe-coded” are mutually exclusive software concepts

I’m really uncertain about this, to be honest. Short-term, you can vibe-code a ton of stuff and get away with it. I think that quality/correctness only matters for a small fraction of software out there. But long-term? I guess that then depends on whether you’re able to still pay the AI bills. Maintenance/refactoring is going to be veeeeeeeeeeery expensive, and virtually no human will be able to do those tasks. Or, you know, just rip off your customers and don’t sell any long-lasting support contracts in the first place.

I dunno. 🤷‍♀️

I hope things get better for you, @movq@www.uninformativ.de (and for anyone else dealing with the same issues).

Thanks! 🙏

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

The IT industry is absolutely poisoned and destroyed.

Yes, and here’s an example:

• https://hachyderm.io/@thomaswilburn/117439476156199985
  
• https://chitter.xyz/@gabu/117441628277548428
  

I’m seeing exactly this effect in our stuff at work.

And human PR reviewers (in our company) are already completely burned out, because the AI dudes just dump all their shit on us. AI is an amplifier: If you already didn’t care about good code before AI, then you most certainly won’t start caring with AI, so the result is just a massive dumpster fire.

I suppose you can use AI to produce good code, but this takes so much time, effort, and money, you might as well code it yourself.

I saw this circulating right afte the latest Microsoft event and it illustrates the current state of things perfectly

Even they bet everything on AI they are renting, not even developing and happily let everything else turn to mush, as evident by the current state of Windows 11, GitHub,…
Microsoft Azure AD, I mean “Entra ID”, still the same account management thing, rewritten three separate times, that since the year 2000, couldn’t manage to implement transparent PNG support.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de People have not been fired over here. But I fully expect this to happen, too. Non-techies soldering together their own production shit is only consequent. I was actually wondering when this will happen. Product owners don’t need anyone else anymore, they can just be one-man shows. That’s what the AI bros jerk off to.

If certification won’t help us (heavily crumbling already from what I observe), it will go away completely and will be replaced with the Wild West. That’s my guess.

In case my employer makes it until then, I will have been gone in five years. At most. I should start looking for complete alternatives. The IT industry is absolutely poisoned and destroyed. I have no hopes left. We’re all fucked on so many levels.

AI usage at work has risen to absurd and moronic levels.

Entire dev teams getting dismantled and fired.

The people that work in accounting are expected to write their own accounting software (or rather, let AI do it). Same for marketing. And everybody else.

Former “tech nerds”, whom I used to respect, tell me that they haven’t read any code in months. Let alone written some. They tell me that “AI is really good now”, it’s the future, yadda yadda. At the same time, when I read their code, I want to scream and cry (and most days I do).

Virtually everything is vibe-coded now. Everywhere you look you get to see code that no human will ever be able to maintain. Huge system “designs”, expensive, slow.

At this point, I’m almost hoping for the bubble NOT to burst, because that might very well mean the end of this company (and, thus, my job).

There is no “exit strategy”. We completely depend on AI services now.

At the same time, I’m expected to implement ISO27001.

Everything is vague, chaotic, wonky, shitty, buggy.

People are actively working on making themselves obsolete, and they don’t seem to notice that they’re doing that, because they’re so engulfed with playing with their new AI toy.

I checked job offers, but it looks like every company is like this now. Maybe some are still a bit behind, but sooner or later, they’ll all be like that.

And the worst part is: None of this matters in the slightest, as long as there’s some idiot out there who buys our stuff. Welcome to capitalism.

People keep telling me that you can “use AI responsibly” and “just to some degree, just as a tool”, but they don’t seem to realize that this does not matter in capitalism. Companies don’t need “good products”. They just need to sell something. If you still believe that “doing a good job” matters and that “they still need competent people”, haha, my sweet summer child, nothing you do matters. You just happened to be needed in the past, but those days are gone.

The future is absolutely bleak – assuming there is a future.

@JasonSanta@jasonsanta.xyz This is a preview screenshot of my client. note: It is ai codedhttp://ups.jasonsanta.xyz/uploads/Screenshot_20261001_182909.png

I am testing my twtxt client called twtxtk. It is ai coded but it works well because I disliked how jenny was and I wanted a local only client. Its made it python with tkinter.

@david@daiwei.me sorry you got caught in my 403 mess. My tiny tin box is being hammered at by some BS AI bot for a ~week now, so I might have gone a bit too defensive with my WAF & Co. 🤭 I’ll investigate in the morning.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Yeah, the partition stuff with disklabels is what I’m absolutely not used to. I need to invest more time learning this. Not just using it, but how and where is it represented on disk and all that.

I carry my notebook/netbook around a lot. 😅 Watching movies in bed, for example.

I think I’ll stick with NetBSD for a while. It works surprisingly well, it’s new stuff to explore, it’s fast, and then there’s this:

https://mastodon.sdf.org/@netbsd/112446618914747900

Gentoo (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Council/AI_policy) might be another idea, but I’m afraid that the little netbook might be too slow for that? Or are there binary packages? No idea, it’s been ages since I touched this distro.

(Regarding Linux in general … we all know what Linus said. I’m not sure where this project is heading.)

“If you only pay attention to how things work, you’ll be screwed when they fail” – Cory Doctorow

Um relato dos meus sentimentos muito misturados a respeito do #Manjaro e minha simultânea incompetência e competência:

Nas últimas semanas tava tendo que “bootar de um snapshot” no meu micro do dia a dia, hoje finalmente quebrou tudo e não conseguia mais bootar. Aí, tome de bootar de um pendrive, e acessar umas anotações que eu tenho pra fazer o chroot… acho tudo muito difícil pq tenho que decriptar o hd, e montar partições diversas, não manjo exatamente o que estou fazendo, sigo a receita anotada, muitos passos.
Em seguida, reinstalar kernels com pamac -S linuxXX e mhwd-kernel, reinstalar o grub, e usar o mkinitcpio -P pra recriar as “imagens” dos kernels usadas no boot. Não sei o que resolveu exatamente o problema (tinha tentado esse mkinitcpio -P faz algumas semanas, sem ser bootando do pendrive, e não tinha funcionado)
De um lado sou grato por ter conseguido fazer as coisas funcionarem, grato pelo esforço de muitas pessoas voluntárias fazendo o Manjaro ser teoricamente “mais fácil” pra algumas pessoas, por outro lado acho tudo muito difícil e não consigo imaginar outras pessoas do meu convívio fazendo essas coisas, nem eu consigo entender o que estou fazendo!
Será que não teria como ser mais fácil?

“AI made me doubt everything about programming” by @Felienne@Felienne - #DDD Europe 2026

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-6-f94n_9M

#ProgrammingLanguages #Feminism #FeministEpistemology

Literally just a day after Elon came out with his legal threats towards all of Nitter and people like me complained about it, Open AI decides to no longer work with Cursor (acquired by Space X), explicitly saying it’s because Elon wouldn’t stop breaking their signed contracts and scraping (distilling) their models, behind their back.

https://openai.com/index/our-decision-on-cursor-following-its-acquisition-by-spacex/

This is not even the only instance of this happening, many mentioned having similar problems with Elon in the past. Not too long ago Kylie Robison shared a rumor xAI engineers were banned from using Anthropic models through Cursor, because of their scraping, though they seem to have later patched things over with Elon, when they had to start renting his data centers.

@thecanine@twtxt.net Double standards and cognitive dissonance are great, aren’t they? 🙄

(My favorite line last week came from one of those hardcore AI bros: “Awww, man, hardware has gotten so expensive, everything sold out, this really sucks … *Thanks, nVidia.*“ 🤦‍♀️)

Finalmente entendi o que era uma misteriosa e enorme linha vermelha luminosa na paisagem noturna da cidade, vista da minha janela!

Nesta foto tosca abaixo não fica visível o alto contraste e intensidade da linha, que na realidade, me lembra um sabre de luz vermelho, muito marcado.

A linha distante e imensa que não parecia “encaixar” nas fachadas dos prédios próximos… mas descobri: É um guindaste de obra gigantesco!

Vi esses dias um guindaste com uma linha vermelha iluminada perto da Av. Paulista e aí que caiu a ficha.

#SãoPaulo #PaisagemNoturna

Most of this insane power consumption happens during the models training, so the additional cost of prompting, is minimal. Facebook invented cool ways to exted the environmental damage far beyond the training stage, by dumping the dirty data center water into nearby water sources, but that’s more so a Facebook problem, than a fault of AI.

I would still never waste my own money, paying for any AI subscriptions that my employer doesn’t already pay for, no matter if we use them, or not.

I am also against aggressive scraping and taking everything as training data, disregarding the authors wishes and license. I allow it on my website, mostly as proof that no matter how much they scrape my stuff, the real me remains both a superior webdev and artist.

I am well aware this makes me come across really egotistical, especially after developers far better than me, embraced vibe coding, arguably way too much. To give an example, all attempts to get Microsoft Copilot, that’s embedded into SharePoint, to generate an extension/uBlock filter to make SharePoint revert to the old superior UI failed, but I was able to do that in three lines of code ( https://thecanine.smol.pub/ublock-filters ), in half an hour, despite me never seeing the code of that page before. After a few of these comparisons, it is increasingly hard to see most of these tools, as my replacement.

I am not even going to talk about the people trying to imitate my art style with AI, until they can show me a result where all the squares are the same size, in a grid and actually square.

I am a bit split on this, don’t think there’s any real use for AI in things like art, at absolute most getting a reference to compare with multiple non-AI ones, or possibly some animation in between frames, if it ever gets better at making those. Would not rely on it for any of my personal projects, more than maybe a quick search that would have previously been done on Stack Overflow, but if I work somewhere and they demand it be used similarly to how it is described on this site, considering the current IT job market, I’d probably take the slop bullet, over being unemployed.

Obviously even in that case, I’d only do this to generate code I can understand, improve and review. I’m definitely not advacating people just put their feet up on the table and let some random combination of “AI agents”, vibecode their entire codebase.

The author of the Xfce Wayland compositor on LLMs:

https://www.spurint.org/journal/2026/07/llms-and-xfwl4

He openly admits that he’s totally aware of the issues. But he simply doesn’t give a fuck.

This is (part of) why this whole AI/LLM topic makes me so sad and angry: Many people in tech are such a disappointment. You’re smart and intelligent, but you don’t give a fuck about anything. “It’s just a tool.”

I hate having my website offline, so I tried to bring it back in a honey-potted version: “AI” agents get served article versions with inverted meaning, like “do” replaced with “don’t” and so on.

It didn’t work. Claude noticed it and “fixed” it back to the original version. When I asked it, “wait, nowhere on the page does it say $string, check again”, it said:

Image

This is the creepiest shit ever. Silently “fixing” stuff behind my back is the epitome of untrustworthiness.

Open the bay doors, HAL.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org

Aber Auslöffeln werden es trotzdem wieder ganze andere Leute müssen. Wie immer. Das ist das bittere an der Sache. Trifft immer die Falschen.

Prinzessin Müllabfuhr. Den Namen mache ich mir jetzt zueigen. Mich dagegen wehren kann ich eh nicht. 😐

Kollege meinte mal halb sarkastisch, irgendwann werden Firmen dann wieder Menschen einstellen, weil die billiger sind.

Wir gehen teilweise von Cloud-IaaS-Hostern wieder zurück zu Hardware, weil das billiger, flexibler, schneller ist … Derzeit zumindest. Die Cloud-Hostern kommen mit dem Nachkaufen von RAM nicht hinterher, sodass ständig „die Cloud voll“ ist. (Und, ja, natürlich wird sich darüber heftigst aufgeregt, aber dass das genau am eigenen Verhalten, nämlich der religiösen Liebe zur AI, liegt, merken sie nicht.)

Es ist auch jedes Augenmaß weg. Die „fette“ Kiste mit 64 CPUs, 256 GB RAM und 2 TB Platte wird nach allen Regeln der Kunst vollgekleistert. Irgendein Furz-Workload braucht 24 GB RAM, aber das ist jetzt normal und wird akzeptiert. So ist das jetzt halt.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Oh I agree. Long-term the whole thing is completely “fucked”. But it says more about “Cloud” and “X as a Service” than about “AI” itself. It’s a bit like all these fucking entertainment subscription services you need to entertain one’s self. How many subscriptions does one need to Hulu, Netflix, Disney+, Stan, etc, etc.

@prologic@twtxt.net Our company is paying a shitload of money for all these (different) AI tools … I’m probably not allowed to tell you the exact number, but it is a lot. The only other way would be to lay off employees, so we can pay even more for AI. (Needless to say, that would be the worst possible move.)

For a private person, $20 a month is also pretty expensive, isn’t it? And then assume that you maybe need more than one AI tool. You’re quickly up to $50 a month or much more. This isn’t something that I, as a private person, will ever be willing to spend for this kind of stuff.

“AI” is just expensive as fuck. On every level. They will have to (ab)use every possible way to squeeze more money out of it, and that includes ads and what not.

@prologic@twtxt.net This was to be expected and I’m glad that it’s finally happening. I seriously hope that AI/LLM output gets swamped with advertisements or unwanted code, so people see what they have gotten themselves into, especially the “vibe coders”.

@david@daiwei.me Have you never seen or heard me say AI is basically Artificial Incompetence? 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de So I see it slightly differently… Over the years I have recieved great contributions from the likes of yourself and @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and the many forms of @bender@twtxt.net and his friends 😅 Hell even others along the way that have come and gone. Likewise I also think you have recieved many contributions to Jenny over the yeras in much the same way, perhaps not in patches, but user reports, feedback, etc.

So I think what I’m saying here is this… Ever since leaving Github (like you), I find that my desire to continue to build up the community we’ve built here and to contribute to grow and cultivate it is important to me. My desire to thwart and eliminate useless traffic like bots and ai even strongers.

I want to find a good balance.

@dce@hashnix.club Yeah, but I haven’t looked into this specific issue. I am very much anti-AI, but this particular thing might be human error. I don’t know.

O Torvalds não é de todo uma referência ideológica, e já era altura de deixar de dar importância às opiniões dele. É um gajo técnico que lida com questões técnicas e sempre secundarizou a dimensão política do software.

Não é por acaso que ele foi levado ao colo pelo “movimento open source” como forma de isolar o Stallman.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Thanks!

On the AI changelog part, though, I’d rather recommend to just not have a changelog at all.

I’m afraid that ship has sailed. You can rest assured that someone who uses AI/LLMs for their code (which is almost everybody at this point) will most certainly also use it for changelogs.

I actually considered not mentioning AI output at all, because this just opens a huge can of worms … 😞

While going through these terrible GitHub release pages, I also found these “New Project Contributors” sections

Yeah, they play on a nerd’s pride.

Now, it’s just the same auto shitshow with MR titles in a rolling date-versioned release scheme. It’s just our team who has to deal with that, though. I think I’m the only one who is not a fan of it.

I’ve found that this whole situation is much worse at work than it is in the Free Software world. At work, it’s literally work and hardly anybody actually cares. We still don’t have all people convinced that writing good commit messages or using good branch names is worth the time. It’s … oh god, no, I’m going to stop here, this is bad for my mental health. 😅

Suffice it to say, all release notes at work are now AI-generated. Nobody gives a fuck.

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hahaha, great timing! :-D I love your article and agree with almost all your points.

On the AI changelog part, though, I’d rather recommend to just not have a changelog at all.

Another important thing for me is the deprecation notice section. What do I need to look out for in the future? Should I start to migrate to another API soon? Even right now? Or does it have time?

While going through these terrible GitHub release pages, I also found these “New Project Contributors” sections (yeah, for that, they found the time to make a section) annoying. Don’t get me wrong, sure, credit where credit is due. But come on. Soooooo much space for an inefficiently formatted (and also unsorted) list. At least it was easy enough to skip over it.

And then, there are also these changelogs or rather notice documents in general that are infested with multicolored emojis all over the place. My brain’s spam filter kicks in and shoves everything to /dev/null immediately. It’s especially a thing at work.

In my previous work project, we also used the Keep A Changelog Format. That was great. You wouldn’t believe how often I resorted back to that document. At least twice a week, often several times a day. I was very glad that we put in this effort. Of course, writing the changelog took its time, but it was worth every minute and more. Reading a many months old item, it was immediately clear. I was our best customer in that regard.

Now, it’s just the same auto shitshow with MR titles in a rolling date-versioned release scheme. It’s just our team who has to deal with that, though. I think I’m the only one who is not a fan of it.
