Now on chromium. A tiny hidden search bar up the top of screen leads me to https://opencollective.com/servo

If I click on it I can see "Contribute: Become a financial contributor" but no where to click or no way to proceed. Just a lot of shiny pfps and icons etc about people who did somehow manage to hand them some cash 😵

The year is 2029 the Linux Foundation (sponsored by OpenAI™) has appointed DHH as the new lead maintainer of the Linux kernel. This follows the tragic accident where Linus Torvalds was hit by a bus> Mr Torvalds, founder of the Linux project, was on his way home from annoucing that he will not commit code that has not been reviewed by human maintainer.

@kimapr@ublog.kimapr.net in the 1960s when ppl made acid they would sometimes have a big party like a rave and test the acid by putting it in a big bucket of kool-aid for ppl to drink, this era covered in Tom Wolfe's classic book 'The electric kool-aid acid test' which was basically 'what ken kesey did with the money he made from one flew over the cuckoos nest'

llm in libreoffice
I had never actually checked that Libreoffice is accepting LLM contributions but now I've found out they do it is no surprise at all, considering the major malfunctions Writer and Calc make. In Calc you cannot even copy and paste a range of cells as the formulas referencing other cells do not copy over properly. In Writer (or whatever its called) you cannot paste in text without it losing some of the newlines. Basically unusable. Imagine telling a room full of office workers "You can't use Word anymore our company is now using this even bigger steaming turd" within 15 minutes the workers would be throwing office chairs at you.
