Adobe is now processing all your PDFs in the cloud, by default. The setting to “Enable generative AI features in Acrobat” was on, and I didn’t know it until I opened a document and Adobe asked me if I wanted a document summary. It’s annoying to have to click “No,” so I opened settings to disable the prompt.
THE PROBLEM I sign Non-Disclosure Agreements for many of my clients. Adobe is a potential leak of protected information. I don’t know what Adobe does with this information. I don’t know what they store, or for how long. I don’t know what country (or countries) the data is stored in. I don’t know what LLMs are trained with this data. And I don’t need to know. What I need to know is that they won’t use default opt-in as a legal excuse to wiretap my information.
I recommend that you check your Adobe settings on all devices, for all Adobe accounts.

Garden joys: my ladybug is back, we chatted! She didn’t have a lot to say. The yellow flower is a real stunner! No idea what it’s called, let’s name it Yellow Flower.
The cardoon is once again 8 feet high and the bees are all over it like jam on toast (that means our hummingbird must be around here somewhere). I walk carefully around the bumblebarrons but they’re so busy rooting around in the big purple thistles that I’m not sure they even register my presence.
The White House press secretary says President Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency which has caused bruising of his right hand and swelling of the legs. washingtonpost.com/politics/20…
This is a thorough article about how dangerous Brightline in Florida is for people crossing the tracks. The line itself is owned by the Florida East Coast Railroad, who has neglected to fence off most of the right of way, grade separate, or make safety improvements to crossings.
Florida has bad pedestrian infrastructure in general, and I’d guess more people are killed on roads in Florida than by trains, but we need more trains, and they should be safe.
WSJ - Trump’s letter to Epstein for his 50th birthday has the outline of a naked woman, small arcs denoting breasts with a squiggly ’Donald’ signature below her waist, mimicking pubic hair. It concludes: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.” wsj.com/politics/trump-jeffrey…

Purism’s Librem 5 & Liberty Phones Named Most Secure Smartphones in the World
Top cybersecurity and tech publications agree—Purism leads mobile security in 2025.
Efani ranks Librem 5 #1 in its “Top 10 Most Secure Mobile Phones,” citing hardware kill switches, modem isolation, and PureOS’s open-source architecture.
Analytics Insight calls it the top privacy-first smartphone with “uncompromised digital sovereignty.”
EU’s Cyber Resilience Act isn’t fully in effect yet, but #OSS maintainers are already bracing for compliance requests. cURL creator @bagder is among the first to receive one (from a Fortune 500 company using a 2 year old version.)

This is a repository of apps to be used with your F-Droid client. Applications in this repository are official binaries built by the original application developers, taken from their resp. repositories (mostly Github, GitLab, Codeberg).
If you are between 12 and 17 years old, you are old enough to pay full fare for trains, you can get a bank account with a payment card and also a public transport card. But they will not allow you to see the transactions with your transport card - you have to ask someone over 18 years to see it 🙄

Post probablement polémique (encore sur sur Masto, je pense que ça ira) tant les automobilistes détestent les cyclistes et souvent c'est réciproque. Sauf que l'un est vulnérable, l'autre bcp moins... 😐 Un cycliste c'est une voiture en moins et donc des embouteillages en moins, pensez-y ! (Et bientôt les cyclistes domineront le monde 😝😝 mouhahahhaa) ... #velo #cyclisme #cycliste #automobiliste #panneauM12 #codedelaroute #polemique
Excusez-moi, j'ai rien contre vous personnellement, mais je suis piéton non-voyant et je déteste les cyclistes autant. roulent rapidement, n'observent pas de règles, s'en fichent des piétons, utilisent des trottoirs comme pistes cyclables, ne freinent jamais suffisament, klaxonnent frénétiquement en attendant tout le monde bondir de leur route pour les laisser passer. Absolument affreux. Les autos… oui, y en a des cons, mais en général pas sur des trottoirs. Chaque fois que je quitte la maison je me demande si l'un(e) de ces individus me jette par terre cette fois ou la prochaine.
@menelion ce sont sans doute les piétons allemands qui ont fait de radfahrer (cycliste) une insulte légère... (Quelqu'un qui est terrorisé par ses supérieur et se venge en terrorisant ses subordonnés)
In 2007 I was working at a tech company and one of the senior DBAs sent this email to the staff after yet another disgusting office kitchen mess was left behind. I saved it and think about it every so often.
Dneska prichazi liberation day pro Unreleased. Uspesne jsem deployoval prvni projekt na Scaleway VPSky.
Jako deployment tool jedu kamal-deploy.org, na ktery jsem si brousil zuby hodne dlouho ... a mel jsem vysoke naroky. A musim rict, ze jsem naprosto nadseny. V zasade pokryje vsechny use-casy Vercelu za cenu zeleza na Scaleway.
Az me prekvapilo, jak bezproblemovy ten flow je. Prakticky resi presne ty problemy, ktere me napadnou pri deployi cehokoli.
Možná nošení dříví do lesa, ale pozor na zabezpečení Dockeru. Hromada uživatelů Kamal si z nějakého důvodu myslí, že to udělá za ně při instalaci a dopadá to špatně.
Na čem to máš? Virtual instances, Dedibox nebo Elastic Metal?
@zdenek Na otazky bezpecnosti jsem narazil. Je to asi nejvetsi kritika Kamalu. (i toho devops, nejenom serveru)
Ale to je resitelne, dulezite je DX pro vyvoj a otevrene moznosti skalovani. Bez toho by switchnout z Vercelu (top DX) neslo.
Aktualne mam na zkousku cast produkce na klasicke virtualce, ale planuju poridit 3x silnejsi masinu na Elastic Metal a dat tam 3x klon databaze (mame ted cockroachlabs.cloud) a k tomu 3x klon hlavni Next appky a zbytek nasazet bokem.

I don't know if something like that would really end up having a sizable market that would make it worth the effort. You're basically chasing the nostalgia that GenX and Millennials have for such things, and maybe they're buying it and hoping their kids will use it.
If I had the modern internet when I was young with all of the apps, social media, Youtube, countless cheap/free games, smartphones and tablets, etc... I doubt I'd have been spending my time trying to program and learn Linux/Unix stuff. I'd have been consuming all the other stuff 24/7.
I feel like there's a 15-20 year period where we existed in a bubble which drove us to these interests and develop these skills, but now there's so many distractions and options to spend your time on it's going to be very difficult to recreate that again in a younger generation.

Look at this shit. This is what people think of when they hear the words "educational computer". A fucking toy for babies, with basically no actual purpose.
This is where I think Commodore can upend a market.
