GitHub has disabled Rockchip’s Media Process Platform repository after an FFmpeg developer filed a DMCA takedown notice, nearly two years after the open-source project first publicly accused the Chinese chipmaker of license violations. The notice, filed December 18, claims Rockchip copied thousands of lines of code fr … ⌘ Read more

Gemini AI Yielding Sloppy Code For Ubuntu Development With New Helper Script
A few weeks ago it was mentioned by a Canonical engineer how trying to use AI to modernize the Ubuntu Error Tracker yielded some code that was “plain wrong” and other issues raised by that Microsoft GitHub Copilot code. The same Ubuntu developer shifted to trying Gemini AI to generate a helper script to assist in Ubuntu’s monthly ISO snapshot releases. Google’s Gemini AI also generated some sloppy code for a Python script to assist in tho … ⌘ Read more
GitHub Is Going To Start Charging You For Using Your Own Hardware
GitHub will begin charging $0.002 per minute for self-hosted Actions runners used on private repositories starting in March. “At the same time, GitHub noted in a Tuesday blog post that it’s lowering the prices of GitHub-hosted runners beginning January 1, under a scheme it calls ‘simpler pricing and a better experience for GitHub Actions,’” … ⌘ Read more
If your very popular project with lots of stars on GitHub is over 10 years old, and you’re still at a pre-1.0 version because you’re using SemVer and a 1.0 would mean making some kind of commitment and that’s somehow not desirable for you, then I think you’re doing something wrong. 🤔
Intel Quietly Discontinues Its Open-Source User-Space Gaudi Driver Code
Intel has quietly stopped maintaining its open-source user-space driver stack for Gaudi accelerators. Phoronix reports: It turns out earlier this year Intel archived the SynapseAI Core open-source code and is no longer maintained by Intel. The open-source Synapse AI Core GitHub repository was archived in February and README updated … ⌘ Read more
Got a nice conspiracy theory for you:
https://mastodon.social/@mcc/115670290552252848
Actually wait I just thought about this and realized that the precise timing of the ACTUAL GitHub seed bank, by which I mean the Arctic Code Vault, on 2020-02-02, makes it more or less a perfect snapshot of pre-Copilot GitHub. Also precisely timed before we all got brain damage from COVID. This is the only remaining archive of source code by people with a fully working sense of smell
(Bonus points because the Arctic World Archive is located in Svaldbard and that’s the name of the AI in Stacey Kade’s “Cold Eternity”.)

Using AI To Modernize The Ubuntu Error Tracker Produced Some Code That Was “Plain Wrong”
A week ago I wrote about AI being used to help modernize Ubuntu’s Error Tracker. Microsoft GitHub Copilot was tasked to help adapt its Cassandra database usage to modern standards. It’s worked in some areas but even for a rather straight forward task, some of the generated functions ended up being “plain wrong” according to the developer involved… ⌘ Read more
Zig Quits GitHub, Says Microsoft’s AI Obsession Has Ruined the Service
The Zig Software Foundation has quit GitHub after years of unresolved GitHub Actions bugs – including a “safe_sleep” script that could spin forever and cripple CI runners. Zig leadership puts the blame on Microsoft’s growing AI-first priorities and declining engineering quality. Other open-source developers are voicing similar frustrations. … ⌘ Read more

The afternoon didn’t start better: we got a talk about the EUDI, with the implied idea that an “European ID” is automatically an example of digital sovereignty, when in fact what is being implemented isn’t.
I could go further into it, but instead I’ll leave here a link to the comment I was impelled to write on the EUDI project after the presentation:
The #EUDI panel was followed by Caroline Stage Olsen, Minister for Digital Affairs of Denmark. The tldr; of her keynote - which had two points of note: 1) “I support AI gigafactories” (because all that is shiny and new is something we should invest in), and “innovation is sovereignty” which is her way of saying that she wants to use the sovereignty topic not to talk about sovereignty but as an excuse to promote “innovation” - in that ideology brand that supports the idea that in order to innovate more we need to simplify and de-regulate…
