Apple's Antitrust Playbook

Apple wants to launder the consequences of its own anticompetitive, anti-user choices through a credulous tech press. The goal is to frame regulators for Apple's own deeds, and it's rotten to the core.

Anyone using RPi Camera Viewer (apt.izzysoft.de/packages/ca.fr…)? Is it still working and useful? Its last release was made in 2019, and not even issues are replied to anymore since at least 2020 – so we wonder if we should remove the app from #IzzyOnDroid

"Back to work today, forgot my pass so locked bike outside Cannon Street station. Left work at 6pm to find just the cut lock and no bike, resigned to never seeing my trusty stead again asked the station if they have cameras. A guy appeared waving at me, asked me to put the code into my cut lock. He replied ‘I have your bike’ with a smile I will never forget!! His name is Abdul Muneeb and he works for South Eastern Railways, he was on a break and saw a guy bolt cut the lock and challenged him to give it back, he then took it inside and waited 4 hours after his shift finished to personally make sure I got my bike back. The world needs more Abdul’s, he is a legend of a man and a credit to his employer."

Every `cargo add` or `pip install` is a leap of faith that attackers exploit.

Supply chain attacks are escalating: from typosquatting campaigns to self-replicating worms like Shai-hulud (compromised 500 NPM packages) to the XZ Utils backdoor where an attacker spent 2+ years building their reputation.

But the ecosystem is working to make trust explicit and verifiable rather than assumed with cutting-edge defense, like Trusted Publishing.

Read the blog: blog.trailofbits.com/2025/09/2…


Supply chain attacks are exploiting our assumptions

Supply chain attacks exploit fundamental trust assumptions in modern software development, from typosquatting to compromised build pipelines, while new defensive tools are emerging to make these trust relationships explicit and verifiable.

So refreshing to see actual thought-through improvements that are well designed as opposed to the general garbage of asking for your ID and assuming that just because the publisher knows your legal identity (or that of the ID card you stole/faked) nothing can go wrong.

The Open Source community is so far ahead in security compared to big tech like Google. It's both amazing and absurd.

Great work, thank you for improving security in tangible and logical ways :)

What Apple is trying to pull in the EU is as embarrassing for Cupertino as it is for the EU and the tech press that have credulously repeated Apple's talking points. The only good news is that the EU declined to unilaterally disarm:

God help us

“A new report from Senate Democrats claims members of Elon Musk’s DOGE team have access to the Social Security Numbers of all Americans in a cloud server lacking verified security measures, despite an internal assessment of potential “catastrophic” risk. The report, released by Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), cites numerous disclosures from whistleblowers, including one who said a worst-case scenario could involve having to re-issue SSNs to everyone in the country.

As outlined in the report, DOGE staffers moved a live copy of Americans’ personal information to a cloud server despite an internal risk assessment done by the Social Security Administration (SSA) that determined the impact could be “catastrophic” without the proper safeguards. The report notes that this information is considered “production data,” potentially allowing DOGE to “directly manipulate” it.”

L’#écritureinclusive, une arme contre les #stéréotypes de #genre

L’écriture inclusive vise une égalité des représentations entre femmes et hommes. Mais face à la diversité des options proposées, quelle stratégie adopter ? Une étude récente montre que les formulations rendant visibles à la fois le masculin et le féminin – comme « étudiants et étudiantes » – sont les plus efficaces pour réduire les stéréotypes de genre.

A contrast in two announcements today. This is why OpenAI is a different kind of company than Meta and should not be distracted with an ad-based business.

ChatGPT Pulse from OpenAI. Fidji Simo:

"Pulse has already helped me discover new emerging treatments for my health condition, recommended new painting techniques for my art practice, surfaced great weekend events for my family, and more."


Vibes from Meta. Mark Zuckerberg:

"Introducing Vibes – a feed of expressive AI-generated videos from artists and creators in the Meta AI app."

A new paradigm of proactive, steerable AI

We believe AI is going to give everyone more power than ever, so we need to make it easy for everyone to use AI to its fullest potential.

SAP software not suited for SAAQclic project, inquiry hears

ctvnews.ca/montreal/article/sa…

In 2000 I heard a consultant training on Sun sysadmin saying "You don't shut down a SAP service. You shut down the server".

It was already bloat.


SAP software not suited for SAAQclic project, inquiry hears

From the outset, choosing SAP software to build the SAAQclic project was bound to result in cost overruns because it was not adapted to the needs of the Société d’assurance automobile du Québec (SAAQ) and required major adjustments.

nope. Nothing visual. The video is just a drummer playing at his kit.

It is annoying to jazz musicians because it is a completely inappropriate beat that you would never ever choose for jazz, or for that song.

It is humorous to music nerds with a rock background, in that we immediately recognize it as a simplified rock beat that we’ve heard countless times - a special note is the Bass drum - and also how much it mostly works despite how it really shouldn’t.

By teaching us to view poverty as a moral failure of the individual, society keeps us from realizing that poverty is actually an ethical failure of society itself. We can choose with #UBI to prevent everyone from ever experiencing the poverty that 60% of us will experience in life, and we just don't.

@SlicerDicer even though it doesn't have API spark ignition ratings on the bottle, it at least meets SJ as that's a prerequisite for the JASO MA/MA2 ratings that it has on the bottle 🤷‍♂️

looks like the anti-wear additive package is on the ragged edge of working with newer gasoline cars' catalytic converters though, so maybe don't actually run it in something very modern

that said I only actually use it in one of my engines, which is spark ignition, but has no catalytic converter and calls for JASO MA (it also doesn't actually have a wet clutch, so it really doesn't need that spec)

@SlicerDicer basically the only actual spec I’m violating by running T6 5W-40 in a 2007 Honda Helix is, ironically, the oil weight spec

(the engine came out in 1984 and called for 10W-40, then in 2006 Honda retroactively changed all the oil specs to 10W-30. I’ll follow that if the engine was designed for it, but this one wasn’t. so, 5W to get faster cold start lubrication, and 40 to go for the original specs for high temp lubrication.)

meanwhile my other shit actually gets what the manufacturer calls for, which is not a diesel oil. my Prius gets the 0W-20 that it calls for because the cold performance is critical in a full hybrid, my Honda NC700X gets a 10W-30 motorcycle oil (and Honda’s 10W-30 is almost a 10W-20) partially because it has a DCT with hydraulic clutch actuation using the engine oil. (I wish T6 Multi-Vehicle 5W-30 were JASO-rated though, going down to a 5W might actually help with some clutch grabbiness issues I have when it’s cold, and I think the JDM oil Honda sells for these bikes is a 5W-30 now, too.)

Also, no way to use NVDA Remote client servers on Linux either. I'm not even wanting to host one, just connect to an NVDA client and control it from within Linux. I'm afraid this is not yet a thing, which is a bit of a shame considering iOS, Android all have NVDA Remote protocol apps. I need this for my work machine, I often use a local remote server over internal ethernet to wire up my work and leasure machines to control them from within one keyboard and headset. Linux won't really be a viable OS for me until I can do this again.

@matt I don't know of a Mac OS one, but do know that there was an iOS one which seems to have been abandoned. I'm not sure what's going on with it, or why the code was never released, but it may be worth asking the author and seeing if there's any answer github.com/EscolarProgramming/… For windows, there is, of course, the one which was mentioned earlier here github.com/gozaltech/nvdaremot… There's also the android client, the author says he got sick of Google being Google and decided not to bother any longer nvda-addons.groups.io/g/nvda-a… it may be worth seeing if the code is available.

There's always www.virtualhere.com and their modular KVM thing. It does work as an input source, and obviously works with any keyboard which supports multiple dongles (Logitech or handheldsci.com or whatever). The modular KVM thing works, too, it gives you a Window to the other machine which works well modularkvmip.com but I've only used it on Windows. I've never used it on Linux. I have used the virtualhere client itself on a RPI, but obviously that's just a keyboard/keyboard channel for the Windows machine. All this has nothing to do with sound, the only thing I can think of is Sonobus for very low latency and the program @menelion for NVDARemote speech. As for the mobile clients, are they really usable? They're great to have, but only for emergencies, in my experience.
