  2. Most AI governance is policy.
    Policy can be ignored. Quietly updated. Overridden by whoever controls the platform.
    A constitution in the application layer is a suggestion.
    A constitution at the kernel level is different.
    Every process crosses the kernel boundary to do anything meaningful. Enforce the constitution there and it becomes structural.
    Not "you shouldn't do this."
    "You cannot do this from where you're standing."
    The difference between a rule and a law of physics.

  3. "You can't audit open source AI either."
    Actually — you can.
    Open source AI gives you:
    — Training data, if public domain
    — Architecture and training code
    — Model weights, if released
    — The ability to verify claims against evidence
    Closed source gives you their word. Nothing else.
    Imperfect auditability beats zero auditability every time.
    The difference between "trust but verify" and "just trust."

  21. Wow, I wrote in to the #Debian backports mailing list asking about a backport of a more recent version of #darktable to #Trixie, and now a week later it has arrived 😁

    Any #photographer running #DebianStable and using @darktable you can now upgrade to 5.4.1! I was using the #appimage since my database was from a newer version than the one in stable, but now I can be back on Debian native packages 👌

  23. Passatempo open source e cross platform (fruibile gratuitamente dal browser, a pagamento il download) veramente carino.

    Consigliato da @quinta in una delle ultime puntate del podcast @[email protected]

    Curioso come venga distribuito anche per Haiku e PSVita!

    I'm very happy with the #Linux 7 kernel that I've been rolling with on #Debian 14 the past couple of weeks.

  25. Cybersicherheitsmonitor (CyMon) 2026 – au weia

    Gerade wurden die Ergebnisse einer hochtrabend "Cybersicherheitsmonitor" (CyMon) genannten Umfrage veröffentlicht. Berichte mit einem Haufen schöner Zahlen und Grafiken gibt es auch von den beiden Initiatoren, dem BSI und der Polizei-Beratung.
    Nach meiner Einschätzung trägt diese Umfrage zur Transparenz oder zur Verbesserung der Situation genau nichts bei. Was wollen die Verantwortlichen damit sagen? Dass alles ganz ganz schlimm ist? Dass viele Menschen zu uninformiert und zu

  29. Story time! Bazaar (bzr) was a GNU version control system that was picked for political reasons over git in the FOSS GNU Emacs project.

    This didn't work out well, but in this retelling, you see a lot of familiar names do good things.

  30. Privatized AI is a black box making decisions about your life.
    You can't audit it.
    You can't fork it.
    You can't verify it does what they claim.
    When it fails — and it will — you have no recourse. The company decides what happened. The company decides what changes. You find out when they feel like telling you.
    Open source AI isn't just a licensing preference.
    It's the difference between infrastructure you can trust and infrastructure that tolerates you.

  35. The problem with application-level AI governance:
    It's a bouncer outside a club.
    Someone who doesn't want to follow the rules just uses a different entrance.
    An AI constitution that lives in userspace has no special authority. Any process can ignore it, route around it, or simply not run it.
    Application-level governance is a suggestion.
