"Despite this dismal success rate, companies are going all-in on AI, driven largely by the belief that everyone else is doing it. Nearly two-thirds of CEOs (64%) say “the risk of falling behind drives them to invest in some technologies before they have a clear understanding of the value they bring to the organization,” according to the study."

Apple hat heute haufenweise neue Barrierefreiheitsfeatures angekündigt, die mal wieder eine Menge Potenzial haben, für viel mehr Teilhabe zu sorgen: apple.com/newsroom/2025/05/app…
Am besten ist wahrscheinlich, dass sie im App Store künftig zeigen wollen, mit welchen Bedienungshilfen eine App zugänglich ist. Das ist wegweisend und nicht weniger als der wichtigste Fortschritt für Barrierefreiheit insgesamt.

*How secure is UnifiedPush?*
It’s a legitimate question that comes up from time to time. While the question is fairly short, the answer requires a few details. Behind the question of security, it’s also often about privacy.

The simple complicated setup: Supported #curl versions and end of life

The other week we shipped the 266th curl release. This counter is perhaps a little inflated since it also includes the versions we did before we renamed it to curl, but still, there are hundreds of them.daniel.haxx.se
I never understood why people insist on doing anything but this, or worse, insist that other people do it (*). A single version with an extremely good upgrade experience is all you need.
* This of course does not exclude the possibility to have security fixes to a previous major version.

I missed this but still important news.
There is nothing shocking in the rationale, the quality is just not high enough and the content just sounds right enough that the effort to review swamps out good content.
This is super hilarious because the reason I quit StackOverflow is because they sold my posts to an LLM company in countervention of the license, and then when I tried to remove my posts they banned me because they say deleting my own posts violates the license

For an upcoming episode of our podcast #StroongeCast, @MoonCat and I want to know about things you say you'd *never* do, until circumstances dictate you just might have to, in order to survive.
I said I'd never eat dog food. The thought makes me feel sick honestly, but would I stick to that if that was literally all we had left?
Go wild with your suggestions, we'll try to readout as many as we can in the episode.

Great news! While Trump is busy dismantling the Library of Congress, the German National Library of Science and Technology (@tibhannover) is preparing for more to come: they've downloaded the entire 10 TB of the arXiv preprint server and safeguarded more than 2.6 million scientific articles. Thank you so much! This was especially needed since, last year, the arXiv decided to shut down its mirror network.
