Chuckle. "The maintainers described AI pull requests as 'demoralizing' for the Godot team, echoing comments made earlier this year when maintainer Rémi Verschelde said AI pull requests were increasingly draining and demoralizing wastes of time.

Voting for Waiata 100 has now concluded

Join us for the Waiata 100 countdown show that will run from 10am to 5pm on Friday 10 July on RNZ National, following the Matariki morning broadcas...

You're able to vote for the same song in both categories, but whether that's legal is another matter. But if the winning song in both categories is the same, I guess it will have been! Which I can imagine happening if it was. Although different generations have different favourites, I think, so who knows what's likely to happen. And the top 50 (and top 10?) will be announced on Matariki Day, which is on Friday, July 10th this year, with the countdown starting at 10AM NZ time. And for the record... Top NZ song: Poi E | Patea Maori Club Other favourite NZ songs: Nothing's Gonna Happen | Tall Dwarfs Long Time Gone | Bachelorette Forever Is a Charm | Princess Chelsea You’re So Cool | Jonathan Bree System Virtue | Emma Paki Slice of Heaven | Dave Dobbyn with Herbs Brown Girl | Aaradhna Heavenly Pop Hit | The Chills Why Does Love Do This To Me | The Exponents Top waiata Maori: Poi E | Patea Maori Club 😉 Other favourite waiata Maori: E Papa | Herbs, Nau Mai Ra (Welcome Home) | Dave Dobbyn / Waiata Anthems Pokarekare Ana | Various Tutira Mai Nga Iwi | Aotearoa Songbook Be fun if this became a yearly thing, like the Bird of the Year contest.
