But now we have “AI” and everyone can generate some code. That might work. Or might mine some crypto or give your laptop an STI. Decades of collective work proving that “open source” is not less but at least as secure as commercial offerings now slowing going down the drain. Because a bunch of men – and it is always all men – just don't want to be responsible for their actions. Which is fine if you are 5. But after 18 it gets old really fucking fast.
We deserve good software in a world where participation is often connected to having access to a computer, to software, etc. We should push towards more reliable software, more secure software, software that is accessible, that protects people against misuse and allows them to be as safe as possible in doing what they want to do.
What do we get? Slop. Slop generated by guys who – when called out for their irresponsible behavior – just start crying about how they only wanted to “share” or “inspire” or “educate” while handing out running chainsaws to kids.
And that was what makes me fucking furious. Not just these dudes being spineless but the disrespect to those who have run serious projects for decades to build a more humane stack.
And it reminds me that “Open Source” is not enough. Open source code can still be harmful to you and your digital existence, can put you in danger without you realizing it. We need something better. Something more.
We need to be willing to take responsibility for and care of one another. “AI” generated software is the opposite of that.
Coda: Never forget. Nothing only men like is cool.

Ces événements ont provoqué des prises de position politique virulentes. Certains, en particulier à droite de l'échiquier politique, ont remis en question les politiques récentes de restauration de l'état naturel des cours d'eau, de protection des zones humides et de destruction des barrages. Elles ont conduit à des appels à la suppression de l'Office français de la biodiversité lors des manifestations agricoles, proposition reprise par le sénateur Laurent Duplomb devant le Sénat le 24 janvier 2024.
Les aménagements les plus récents, défendus par de nombreuses structures territoriales, visent à redonner au cycle de l'eau, et en particulier aux rivières, des espaces plus larges et à recréer ou protéger des zones humides. Tous ces aménagements conduisent à ralentir les flux et donc luttent contre les inondations, tout en préservant la biodiversité à laquelle notre santé est liée. Les zones humides sont par exemple les meilleurs ennemis des moustiques tigres, en permettant le développement de leurs prédateurs. Bien qu'ils exigent de concéder des terres agricoles aux milieux naturels, ces aménagements nourrissent les nappes qui restent le meilleur réservoir pour le stockage de l'eau des saisons humides.

Google informed Thomas-Johnson via a brief email in April that it had already shared his metadata with the Department of Homeland Security, as The Intercept previously reported. But the full extent of the information the tech giant provided — including usernames, addresses, itemized list of services, including any IP masking services, telephone or instrument numbers, subscriber numbers or identities, and credit card and bank account numbers — was not previously known.
