@hbons they also just argued for a license change for "open source AI models" (which means open weight models) that will hinder people from suing model providers if they ever used a model. Linux foundation is not an ally.
@tante @hbons yeah, I don’t know if they ever were, but I am sad to see them do this shit. There was once a reasonable course on defensive coding of something that they produced and put up on edX that I liked. And I like most of the OpenSSF scorecard ideas—enough that I tried to take them and deploy them at work to make it easier to evaluate internal software products that were notionally things that could be shared or “leveraged”.

poor flops.
@hbons Clearly Flip-Floppies.

Mistakes like this is how you end up with dwarves kicking over a model of Stonehenge.

can't hire a designer.
absolutely pathetic.
@hbons look, Linus needs his money

poor flops.
@hbons stores twice as much data!

@hbons like mozilla, suricata, people don't realize how much money is in open source, lots, but they keep it hidden

@hbons find an interesting blogpost on the formation of LF recently and why it shouldn’t need all the cash it has

@hbons am getting more against all these “independent” trade bodies

poor flops.
@hbons why are these floating?

@c0dec0dec0de @tante @hbons TBF this is what most standards are like. If you ever read ISO 62304 for example it's all stupid simple stuff like, "Consider your customer's needs," which is not a real quote but is a fairly close paraphrase of its real content.
Costs almost $400 per copy.
The really ridiculous thing is that we actually need that crap.

@crazyeddie @c0dec0dec0de @tante I need to get more shameless...

“We never stop learning!” I scream as I surrender the last of my cognitive facilities to the machine.

@hbons @c0dec0dec0de @tante I actually imagine it would be really hard work to create a standard like that. It's going to be law so people will HAVE to follow it. It therefor can't say too much or everyone gets stuck in the legacy of the current modern at best. It can't say too little or there's no damn point.
Companies really do have to have their hands held and told to encrypt shit. Then you have to make sure they don't do stupid shit like use rot13 and call it good (actually saw this).

@crazyeddie @tante @hbons it is honestly depressing how much of what I ask of people to do at work (and that they refuse to do) is basic due diligence that we’re already contractually obliged to do by one or more linked documents.
Fuck, UCF is tainted by LLMs now. That sucks. -

Fuck, UCF is tainted by LLMs now. That sucks.@crazyeddie @tante @hbons UCF is a tool for taking all your requirements docs and lining them up in a way that you can say that fulfilling §5.1.4 of A also fulfills requirements B:27-2 and C:15.5. It also is a fucking web app checklist that someone can go through and fill out and print reports on to yell at people for not having all their T’s crossed and i’s dotted.
