Software is made by people. Trashing software is trashing other people's work. It's fine to have negative opinions about a piece of software, but you can just not use it instead of trying to publicly shame it.

I've been an AI skeptic, even to the point of refusing to try it, but I finally gave in and started tinkering with ChatGPT over the last month or so. Besides that tool being really popular, it was nice to be able to just get started without creating an account. Some of the things I've tried:
EPEL 10 launched a little over five months ago. Today, RHEL 10 was released. In that time EPEL 10 has grown to 17,756 packages (from 5,451 source packages) built by 249 different Fedora packagers. 📦🎉🤩 #epel #fedora #centos #rhel

The premise for this talk has been bouncing around in my head for a few years now. I finally submitted it to @lfnw.org to force myself to follow through and create the presentation. I'm proud of how it turned out. Thanks to everyone who attended, and to the organizers for selecting the talk.

First impressions here: The app is pretty nice. The website isn't bad either. But it seems like lots of the nerdy conversations I enjoy are missing. I'm interested to see how that shapes up over time as more folks join. For now Mastodon will still be my primary I think.
