Re: "Linux Association of Canada"

One of their "books" is clearly AI-generated slop. I started to read this
one:

https://linuxassociation.ca/assets/books/full_1784571973_4efa7b34.pdf

but just about barfed at the obvious AI prose, the vagueness, the lack of humour and the sheer banality of it, not to mention the weird slogans in
the pictures.  "Open Source Thrives Together".  Umm... WTF?  What
does that even mean?

Yikes.

Hi Dianne,

Between this comment and some of the passages in "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" example:

"I found having to periodically telnet over to locke to check my mail annoying" - page 31

I have giggled, and my day has greatly improved.

I also want to take this opportunity to apologize for my slow responses. I chalk this up to being a part of a certain development program, which essentially filled my inbox with 80+ messages per day (many AI generated) which not only made my inbox almost unusable, but also left a sting. The Canadian Association for the Club of Rome assisted me in fixing this.
