Social media as a whole judges art not on how interesting or meaningful or pretty it is, but entirely on how difficult it was to make.

It has been like that since the beginning, and is what happens when mindless, rapid consumption meets an algorithm that prefers objective metrics over subjective ones, precisely because it is looking for predictable outcomes.

The irony is that while this naturally leads to disdain for "low-effort" generative AI, it is also incredibly harmful to artists.

One of the biggest sources of technical debt in vhs-teletext is the CLI. It is built with click, and it contains a lot of repeated code. That is wrapped up in various decorator functions, but they become difficult to modify and maintain.

So I made click-partial (name subject to change?) to make building re-usable decorators easier. They are defined in the same way as commands.

I'm interested in feedback. Would this actually be helpful to anyone but me?

You know you can just read the PSF annual report if you want to know how much their income ($4.5M) is and how much of it they spend on sponsoring developers ($0.2M).

The "ubuntu-bug" reporting tool is currently broken on all releases because something has changed on the Launchpad API it uses.

Automatic crash dumps still work because they go to a different system, so I can see that this affects all current releases of #Ubuntu, and the change happened shortly before 7am UTC on the 23rd of January.

Meta, Amazon and OpenAI are all running aggressive web crawlers to gather data for AI training. These crawlers are different to the ones used by search engines and they al share a common bug: they think that any GET variable on the URL means it is a unique page, causing them to get stuck fetching the same page over and over. Google's crawler doesn't do this. The broken ones were probably written by the same LLMs they are training.

They also made it against terms to talk about your use of the product. This looks very much like an attempt to shut down any discussion of dangerous gen AI results.

I managed to print flexible eSun TPE 83A on an #Ender3 with stock hot end, Capricorn tube, and all-metal BMG clone extruder. No problem with sticking to the buildtak either. It took about 6 hours to print this tyre.

Anyone know of a Zigbee energy monitoring plug that does NOT have any remote control functionality? For UK sockets. I just want to know how much power devices are using. I don't want them randomly turning off because of power spikes and software bugs.
