VIM forks rejecting AI-generated code vs. upstream VIM with AI assistance + more contributors. This is a real experiment in a mature project. My money's on upstream, but either way we'll learn something. https://t.co/Cc6PpGyI2q #VIM #OpenSource

[Scott McCarty @fatherlinux]

AI agents can now SSH into RHEL images for live debugging + CVE scanning. Red Hat's MCP integration brings OS telemetry to your IDE. https://t.co/4ioNCaBVCv #RHEL #MCP

[Scott McCarty @fatherlinux]

Domain experts can now contribute to open source at the spec level without code, but trust requires open specs + governance, not just open code. #OpenSource #AI

AI can replace tasks. It can't replace your ikigai. Talked about finding mine — punk rock to PM, scared the whole time: https://t.co/SXTOgjheNX #Ikigai #ProductManagement

I've watched https://t.co/z1XE9LdJmD grow to 120k+ lines. Rewritten News & Events 5+ times to keep it lean. Cantrill explains why: LLMs lack the virtue of laziness. https://t.co/D5oTjrp130 #AI

AI completes GPL: Roots of The Valley (https://t.co/Wwxi7nde5G) open source map, solo+AI. Before: impossible. https://t.co/gvD4uBOj1b #AI

[Scott McCarty @fatherlinux]

Qwen 2.5 122B on consumer GPUs just added a visual editor to OpenSCAD's C++ codebase. 70 minutes, no cloud, no API key. The ceiling for local LLMs has moved. https://t.co/G8QHpvZBOA #LocalLLM

"Open source is the baseline for innovation, and we intend to keep this foundation strong." Red Hat's take on Claude Mythos, AI vulnerability scanning, and how context beats panic. https://t.co/GTzJ2RHnez #OpenSource #RHEL

Container security article that never mentions SELinux. Not once. Containers *do* contain — I run OpenClaw --read-only. https://t.co/96lsqx01Wy #Linux

I dare you: put on the NIN Tron Ares soundtrack at 11PM, start a pomodoro timer, and build something. 53% critics, 87% audience. The gap tells you everything. https://t.co/qsGtNITKrN #TronAres

RHEL 11's "60% plan" — shared publicly at CentOS Connect. Not polished, intentionally incomplete. That's the point.

I was PM for Podman during the container explosion. Jevons Paradox: cheaper deployment = more Kubernetes spend. @sabordy says agents are next. https://t.co/2eX7Rr5uYL #AI #AgenticAI

RHEL 10 support to 2035. On Toughbooks built for 5-year cycles, that's two hardware lifetimes. https://t.co/aHy0xhFGX6 #RHEL

PCs didn't kill mainframes. E-commerce didn't kill retail. Streaming didn't kill Hollywood. @stevesi makes the case AI won't kill software either. https://t.co/7jdCo8aKE3 #AI #Software

Panasonic TOUGHBOOK — certified on RHEL. Worked with their team on the RHEL 10 roadmap. Great Q&A with the TOUGHBOOK PM. https://t.co/S6CrG5NB7h #RHEL

Hidden RHEL image mode value prop: the confidence to let AI agents loose, knowing you can always reboot to known-good. https://t.co/zCLvbcEjZU
