#AI has enabled developers to add features at an increased pace.
For example, let us consider this pull request which adds a feature
.. that already exists in the codebase.

Age verification laws are being introduced everywhere - including, Florida. 🔞🇺🇸
For Joseph, not knowing his own state had introduced age verification, was the final push he needed to take action and do something. So he started the Miami Tech Enthusiast Club @mtec
Don't miss this interview with him to find out why he started the club, its aims & goals, & why he chose Tuta Mail. 💪🔐

2025 was the year many people realized how at risk their digital privacy had become. For Joseph, it was the year to take action against this, and so he started the Miami Tech Enthusiast Club.Tuta

Recruitment is supposed to be a gateway. Too often, though, that gateway is built with walls rather than open doors.Henny Swan (HRreview | Black and White Trading Ltd)
"Vibe coding" really is indistinguishable from playing a slot machine.
There's (for some) a degree of fun based on the hope of getting something valuable for a relatively small investment. When it won't work you just keep pulling the lever. At some point you surely will win, right?
Also with slot machines the bank always wins while slowly draining your resources.

Oh look: #discord outsourced their age verification to some vendor. You know, the #ageverification that countries like the UK want to make mandatory for basically every online service. And the vendor had a data breach exposing photos of government IDs for 70,000 people.
Do you feel safer? How many children did we protect by exposing the IDs of these 70,000 (presumably) adults? Thanks for taking one for the team, you 70,000 canaries in the #privacy coal mine.

Las leyes y sus definiciones.
La ley de montes define 'monte' como “todo terreno en el cual vegetan especies forestales, arbóreas, arbustivas, de matorral o herbáceas, sea espontáneamente o procedan de siembra o plantación, que cumplan o puedan cumplir funciones ambientales, protectoras, productoras, culturales paisajísticas o recreativas.”
Aplicando la regla de que Si A, entonces (A o B):
(A ⇒ A ∨ B)
“todo terreno en el cual vegetan especies herbáceas, que procedan de siembra, que puedan cumplir funciones recreativas.” es un "monte"
Entonces:
- un parque es un monte.
- una plantación de marihuana es un monte.
- mi maceta es un monte.
Observación interesante, aunque también hay que leer el 5.2--3:
2. Sin perjuicio de lo dispuesto en los demás apartados de este artículo, no tienen la consideración de monte:
a) Los terrenos dedicados al cultivo agrícola.
b) Los terrenos urbanos.
c) Los terrenos que excluya la comunidad autónoma en su normativa forestal y urbanística.
3. Las comunidades autónomas, de acuerdo con las características de su territorio, podrán determinar la dimensión de la unidad administrativa mínima que será considerada monte a los efectos de la aplicación de esta ley.
Dicho esto me pregunto si el adjetivo forestal está modificando a todas esas frases (arbóreas, arbustivas, de matorral o herbáceas). Hay especies herbáceas forestales? Ni idea.

Oh my, that clown service again. In the console, they report "harmful content" they write they detected – but at the same time, their engine confirms the file being fine at VirusTotal 🤦♂️
Most of the time I get the idea, they just want to keep us busy with nonsense, so we cannot do the work we are here for…
Requested a review, giving them their own results to check. Yuck.
PS: Snippet updated, find it at gitlab.com/-/snippets/4909577 for reference. So far, all we receive from either of those services, are false positives – needlessly wasting our time.
Edit: No, we did not sign up willingly for either of those. Both are forcing us into (useless) action.

Today in 1961, 65 years ago: in the United States, John F. Kennedy takes office as president.
What I heard:
Today in 1965, 61 years ago: in the United States, John F. Kennedy takes office as president.
So, uh... yeah... About that... He died in 1963. Anyway, it's bedtime.

OK, let's click that.

Everyone that manages security reports for Open Source projects have been getting a higher workload because of AI. Both real reports and just slop - reports including vulnerabilities in code that doesn't exist. For some, this is becoming a denial of service attack, with developers having to spend valuable, and in some cases unpaid, time to sort out what's real and may be a vulnerability.

This was the worst Bulgarian president since 1989. He actively tried to divide the people by talking utter bullsh!t and implying we would be better off with Mother Russia. And now, he's seeking real power by getting ready to participate as a leader of his "new political party" in the upcoming Parliament elections. None of our other presidents has been so blatantly basic in their undermining words.

Entiendo que cualquiera puede construir una web que use el DNI electrónico para identificar a sus usuarios. Pero sospecho que no se puede hacer lo mismo con otros mecanismos de identificación oficiales (que son más convenientes).
Obviamente, da mal rollo, pero creo que es una idea a explorar.
I accidentally opened calendar.google.com on my phone and it loaded instantly, seems to work beautifully and has a copyright year of 2010.
I think Google may have accidentally forgotten to kill something functional.
Today we're leaving X. If you're still there, we think you should consider leaving too.
A word here on:
1. why it is so difficult to leave collapsing platforms;
2. why we're making this decision today;
3. where else you can find us.
Mozilla fragt: »What do you want to see from Mozilla in the future?«
Ganz einfach: einen Browser mit maximalen Sicherheits- und Datenschutzstandards. Ohne Tracking, ohne Datensammelei, ohne »wir machen das für die Finanzierung«-Ausreden. Ein Browser, der Nutzer konsequent schützt, transparent erklärt, was passiert, und sich wieder klar auf die ursprüngliche Mission besinnt: ein offenes Web, in dem der Mensch im Mittelpunkt steht – nicht Werbenetzwerke, Datenbroker und Profiling.
Und bitte: kein KI-Kram im Browser. Keine Zwangs-Features, keine Assistenten, die Daten abgreifen, keine »smarten« Experimente.
Danke!

A recent change to 1.1.1.1 accidentally altered the order of CNAME records in DNS responses, breaking resolution for some clients.The Cloudflare Blog
I can't help but notice they did a staged rollout (great!) for a DNS related change that went up to 100% in less than 24 hours (???). Seems a bit optimistic to me given how high TTLs can be?
Reading their explanation I can't help but feel that maybe the behaviour the Cisco switches rely on should have been standardized, so it puts the extra work on the server once instead of complicate every client.
Of course, the Cisco switches *crashing* instead of failing resolving is absurd.
