｢ Projects that continue to prohibit AI-generated vulnerability reports are no longer suitable dependencies for GNOME, and should be developed someplace other than GNOME GitLab. We don’t have to tolerate bad issue reports, but AI use alone should not be disqualifying ｣ https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2026/10/02/the-era-of-software-quality-or-the-era-of-ostriches/ #gnome #ai #redhat #opensource

The Era of Software Quality, or the Era of Ostriches?

Humans are bad at writing secure code, and GNOME developers are no exception. GNOME is primarily written using unsafe programming languages where simple mistakes in our code lead to devastating consequences for our users, and we make these mistakes all the time. No matter how much we try, GNOME developers will fail write secure code...

Hello. This is the account for Mise, a privacy focused browser I have been building, mostly for my own daily use. It has workspace isolation, a built in ad blocker, tab hibernation, split view, a PDF reader, dark mode, and a userscript engine among other things. Close to a 1.0 release now. Happy to answer questions, and always interested in which sites trip the fingerprint protections if anyone runs into that. https://rakosn1cek.github.io/Mise-browser/ #Introduction #FOSS #OpenSource #Privacy #Electron #Linux

West Coast, with penguins: Aaltoverb on Linux; Aalto 2 coming soon - CDM Create Digital Music

Madrona Labs' patchable West Coast synth is one of the most playable, exploration-friendly, unique instruments around -- a piece of software to last. And it comes with a reverb companion, now on Linux, too as a free demo you can beta-test. The big news: Aalto 2 is coming this fall for macOS, Windows -- and Linux, too.

Pixelfed is choosing its mission over a quick payday. Despite receiving major offers, the project is staying focused on building a social platform designed to last — one that can grow to 100M+ users while creating a sustainable model for creators and admins. In a social media world driven by profit, choosing independence is a powerful statement. Maybe the future of social media can be built differently. #Pixelfed #Fediverse #SocialMedia #Creators #OpenSource

Hello Mastodon! I'm into Computer #Security, #Programming, #ReverseEngineering, #Hacking, #Linux, #AmateurRadio, #Privacy, #OpenSource, #Cryptography and generally anything creative and interesting involving tech. Especially things that help people communicate and use computers more privately and securely. Lately I've been tinkering with mesh networks like #Meshtastic, #MeshCore and #Reticulum. Longtime #QubesOS and #GrapheneOS user. I also enjoy touching grass like #Camping, #Backpacking and generally being in nature. Would recommend. This is a personal/professional account so keep an eye out for various writeups and research, for work and for fun. Previous jobs ranged from #SoftwareEngineering to Computer Security #Research and #InfoSec, and I'm looking for more of the same. #Introduction

RE: https://mas.to/@davidism/117292399049862157 The beginning of the month, when every junk producer's token limit resets, and we get a whole new wave of junk. Turning off PRs helped a lot, but they just started opening "test issue, checking if my API access is broken", or commenting or emailing their patches instead. I really wish I knew how to escape this without turning off community interaction entirely. #python #flask #opensource

@davidism@mas.to
I've turned off pull requests from non-members for Flask, Werkzeug, Jinja, and Click this week, and have enjoyed not waking up to a fresh wave of AI junk every morning. I think I'm going to update our contributing guide to say "introduce yourself and how you use the library in chat first if you want to contribute pull requests". Sad that we had to go here, but aside from conference sprints we weren't really getting outside contribution anyway (which is also sad, but that's been the case a lot longer than AI has been around). #python #flask #opensource
