Pet peeve -- when OS-packaged software checks for new releases (e.g. by fetching latest tags from GH) and nags you to update it. If you add this feature in, please add some kind of check to only enable it for when the end-user has control over such things (or don't add it at all, because this is always annoying).

I'm going to let bugbot run over the weekend and then share some details about how to use it with others.

If your state-issued ID has a "sex" field, then technically you live in a state that maintains a genital registry.

Feel free to share that with your conservative friends.

Some of the best people I've known were trans and enbies.

Today, we're bidding farewell to codeaurora.org. It had a good run, but all projects have moved on to other platforms.

Good bye, good friend, and thanks for all the fish.

/me carefully, gingerly, with some cringing, enables bugbot on the first valid-looking bug and waits for results.

I’m generating my own artisanal message-id’s, thank you.

Oh no, neomutt switched to entirely randomly generated message-ids in the latest release. I'm not fond of this either. :(

I've got to say, that considering who is developing it (the person behind SSB, for one), I am interested to see how the AT protocol shapes up.

Yes, there may be a few bugs there. Probably. Or there could be zero bugs. It's like looking for a black cat in a dark room -- you won't find it until you stumble over it.

Nice, Lore and B4 make a brief appearance on Picard!

Bugbot status update: it's now able to monitor lore lists and start tracking threads as bugs based on an arbitrary query. E.g. you can mention "bugbot engage" in a thread and the entire thread will be converted to a bugzilla bug (if the email of the person issuing this command matches a bugzilla account with "editbugs" group membership). Any subsequent messages in the thread will be automatically added to the bug as new comments. Any comments posted on the bug via bugzilla interface will be sent to original recipients.

Now working on the other direction -- bugs added in bugzilla will be converted to mailing list threads and sent to proper maintainers (based on certain conditions, e.g. a "bugbot" flag needs to be set to "on" and the cf_subsystem custom field needs to match the corresponding MAINTAINERS entry). Should be done tomorrow, at which point I'll be looking for early testers. :)

@shanselman Help, Fallout 4 story lines are bleeding into my reality.

This is how wizard paintings in Harry Potter work. They emulate dead people based on statistical analysis of things they have previously said.

Of course, I can only imagine the kinds of terrible effects this could have on people in mourning, so I predict legislation restricting this practice.

Thanks for the DDoS, HN. I didn't have any plans for the afternoon anyway.

I picked Akkoma because it looked more fun. No other reason.

Heh, I can tell when Linus posts by the amount of 500 errors I start seeing on the social system. Need to start optimizing our setup.

The erlang stack itself is actually doing great, but the database load spikes like crazy. It's actually a known problem of pleroma and derivatives -- the db backend could use a lot of loving, especially when it comes to optimizing queries.
