This is the "glorious" future of open source development: https://github.com/postgis/postgis/pulls a new pr every 20 minutes, with no (human) thought given to the design or logic of the change. 😭

This person https://github.com/abinayasiva29-web just earned the dubious honor of being the first user completely banned from the qgis repo for repeatedly wasting our time with ai slop. 👍

The worst thing possible has happened to opensource development, and you're all just blindly thinking it's still business as usual.

Inspired by @rjhale1971@fosstodon.org resurrecting the dead corpse of geo chatter, here's some random shit that I've been playing with (just because I want to train my own biological ai model 🤪)

Once upon a time @EvenRouault@mastodon.social spent his valuable time writing world class geo software. Now he's been forced to become a glorified kindergarten teacher, wasting time herding badly behaved slop pushers into line. I can't imagine how demoralising this is, but I know we'll ALL suffer as a result 😭.

So f***ING sick of reading AI written bug reports. It's an instant "ignore" from me 🤮

RE: @lina@vt.social

My thoughts exactly ... This industry is cooked.

3d GIS is now my happy place. What features would you love to see here that aren't currently realised? Crazy ideas welcome!

Seems like ESRI's hold over r/gis is finally weakening: https://www.reddit.com/r/gis/comments/1mq9ue2/how_strong_is_qgis/ 🥳

@adamsteer@mapstodon.space if you want to send it through I'll take a look!

What git hosting solutions currently offer free, private hosting that doesn't go into training LLM models? ... I'm looking for somewhere to push private forks of some open source projects so that I'm not actively making myself redundant 😭

The PyQGIS API reference is looking pretty darn awesome these days 🤩https://qgis.org/pyqgis/master/core/QgsMapLayer.html

@hareldan@mapstodon.space "one shared commitment" hahahahhahahaaHahahahaHahHAHAA 🤣 NOPE
