Wandering Adventure Party

I got into #FLOSS because it was a community-driven approach to making computers empower people. Now, #opensource means "free training data for someone else's LLM."

I could ask, "What is the future of open source software," but I think that's the wrong question. I'd rather contemplate what community-driven, human-centering computing can look like in the era of scraping and slop.

My 4yo asked me if I wanted to see "a shark and an octopus in real water." Sure. So I followed him into the bathroom, where the sink was stopped and a toy great white shark and a toy octopus were, in fact, in real water.

"It's the ocean," he explained. "I put salt in it."
