And, how can you tell if you may need to fork your #opensource project, too.
The fix for messy AI agent ecosystems might finally be here - and it's #opensource https://zdnet.com/article/agentic-ai-foundation-fix-messy-agent-ecosystems/ via @ZDNet & @sjvn
Backed by pretty much everyone who's anyone in #AI, the Agentic AI Foundation will make using multiple LLMs at once via agents much easier.
Good.
AI slop (AI generated code) will be not allowed in GNOME shell extensions: "At this point, we have to add a new rule to the EGO review guidelines. So the packages with unnecessary code that indicate they are AI-generated will be rejected."

Are there any software projects that people would be willing to pay a small weekly or monthly contribution to support me while I develop it? I need a way to feed my family, and I don't like asking for handouts.
Please respond with ideas of things you'd like to see exist, that you'd maybe be willing to contribute an ongoing nonzero amount towards, and boost for reach. If you don't have idea of your own, that's fine. Boosting will still help!

Well uh, guess I'm uninstalling LibreWolf now and using Vivaldi exclusively as the only browser to make a #NoAI commitment to my knowledge?

Public money should only be invested in public goods. If tech companies or products are being funded with government money, our money, then the code should be transparent and accessible to all of us. Us, who paid for it.
@trendless Wouldn't it be awesome if everything, especially public sector websites would be open source? :3

5 Fediverse sites have been hacked due to running outdated software.
Please take a moment to ensure that your instance of Mastodon, Misskey, PeerTube, PixelFed, or any other Fediverse platform is fully up-to-date.
It may also be wise to log into your server and update your operating system.
Debian / Ubuntu servers:
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
Fedora / CentOS / Red Hat / Alma Linux:
sudo dnf update --refresh
sudo dnf upgrade
sudo reboot
If you update your OS, your server will be briefly offline during the reboot. If you have not configured your web services — including your Fediverse service — to start automatically on boot, you may need to start them manually afterward.
Always make a backup before performing upgrades.
If any of this is confusing or feels overwhelming, you should reconsider whether you want to be a server administrator. This is not meant as an insult. It’s great that you wanted to contribute to the Fediverse, but you may be better off participating as a user rather than an admin. People depend on you to keep services running smoothly, and that requires knowing how to maintain your system safely and correctly.
