I overall think the #OpenSource technology world/sphere is about 70% there in development of systems, that everyone can use with a reasonable amount of effort, but the lapse set is affordability and #DisabilityAccessibility (mostly for mobility issues). Likewise it's mostly in the #Hardware not #software nor #OS spheres, (70/10/20 split) which is why not finding much if any chatter on the Hardware problems is so disheartening, because it needs the most work.

In this talk at an #AI conference, you only need to watch the conclusion at the end. Only watch 2 secs. until you heard this..
> Software is a human endeavor [..] AI changes everything about how we code. But in fact I don't think it changes *anything* about how #software fails.

My latest blog post: VanSpoof - Prototype 2 - Echo Firmware
https://mikecoats.com/van-spoof-prototype-2-firmware-1/
In part 1 and part 2 of building my first VanSpoof prototype, I managed to flash the microcontroller on the PCB with a blinky demo. This time round, let's see about sending and receiving some serial data.

From a blog post by @wojtekpow
“We’re living in this moment right now where everybody is using AI to write software.”
No. With add due respect, this is wrong. To say such a thing does harm.
I get what the author is trying to say, but I beg all authors to choose their words carefully.
As long as I continue to write software you can never say “everybody is using AI to write software”.

KDE's gear26 (26.04.0) now also released for the Haiku people, a few applications are still a wip but should be online in the near future. Thanks upstream on the update!
In total 120 updated recipes have been involved including libraries and applications.
For a list of new features, look up at:
New are Kirigami Gallery (with qqc2_breeze_style) and Lokalize.

#TESLA DROPS ON #NHTSA_REPORT | #Critical_Safety Issues #Revealed By The Dawn Project’s #Testing Of #Tesla Full #Self_Driving | THE #DAWN_PROJECT | Making Computers #Safe for #Humanity | We #Demand #Software that #Never_Fails and #Cant Be #Hacked!
#DavidV_Comment: In over 25 years -with Over 100K hours in Project Managment - as a Software Supervisor (aka Software Architech) managing countless Programmers and Developers over the years I have never seen such Corrupted and dissapionting Software riddle with bugs and grave malfuncitons..
During 2022, The Dawn Project conducted a series of safety tests in Goleta and Santa Barbara, California, to test whether Tesla’s Full Self-Driving Software was safe for public roads. The tests revealed critical safety defects in the software, and showed that Tesla’s Full Self-Driving software will:
* Run down a child in a school crosswalk
* Ignore ‘Do Not Enter’ and ‘Road Closed’ signs
* Overtake stopped school buses
* Speed in school zones
* Hit a child in a stroller
* Run over children crossing the road
* Swerve into oncoming traffic
* Ignore road signs warning it to slow down for sharp bends, causing it to * cross over the yellow line
* Drive on the wrong side of the road
* Commit thousands of driving errors
* Tesla Full Self-Driving Will Run Down a Child in a School Crosswalk
* The Dawn Project publicly reported in August that our test engineers had shown that Full Self-Driving would run over a child in a crosswalk. Recently
* The Dawn Project tested Full Self-Driving (10.69.2.2) and found that it will still run down a child in a school crosswalk.
Whoever coded it should never code a single line of code again imho.
* Three months have gone by and Tesla engineering still hasn’t fixed a problem that nearly everyone agrees should #ban_it from our #public_roads. To read Dan’s full thoughts on the actions of Tesla’s engineering team, click here.

Playing around with KDE's kde-builder tool on Haiku, after the first attempts things look pretty good in shape.
For those interested, I've wrote down some steps on how to set this up for haiku at:
https://codeberg.org/Begasus/haikuports/wiki/kde-builder+and+Haiku+%28WIP%29.-
Upstream information (lots of additional required information can be found there):
https://invent.kde.org/sdk/kde-builder/
Meanwhile Kcalc and Konsole (and their required frameworks build). :)

So I suppose a new #introduction is in order. Hello! New #software engineer at #Google (first job!) in the #Seattle area. Canadian; moved from Montréal. Once infamous for making Barinsta, then promoted open source and federated platforms, now back to coding a lot. Public transport fan and avid radio listener. Silly at times; still learning about adulting. Love to #MeetUp with new people and explore new places (taking nice pictures on the way)!

The problem isn't "too much software."
It's who owns the software, and what they optimized it for.
Healthcare isn't worse because of software. It's worse because healthcare software was built to maximize billing extraction, not patient outcomes.
Social media isn't worse because of software. But it was built to maximize engagement, not connection.
More proprietary closed #software built for profit extraction? Yeah, that'll keep making things worse.
TIL: The European Union Public License.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union_Public_Licence
Looks pretty decent actually!
• OSI and FSF approved
• copyleft
• SaaS clause (like the AGPL)
• explicitly compatible with several copyleft licenses to allow EUPL code to be integrated into GPL, AGPL, LGPL, OSL, MPL etc. projects
• based on European law
• available in 23 languages, all with the same validity

Ever since reading "Getting off US tech: a guide" by @parismarx last year, I wanted to build a little website where you could check the #software you're using and get some shareable text, showing how much is from the US. Now it's finally done 👇🏼🥳
What do you think? Will somebody use this? What did I miss, what is wrong? Any ideas?
Please head to https://codeberg.org/Fingolas/WhereIsMyTechFrom for suggested changes.

I wish we live in a world in which the fact a #software is #FreeSoftware does not grant you any extra credit, but is just the expected default. And, that every #proprietary software is considered a social burden, selfish, the "awkward one", has to explain and justify itself, etc.
Currently, it is free software that constantly must explain and justify itself, is treated as "awkward", etc. Which is so annoying.
It's not us who take away your #freedom to use, copy, share and modify.
