Attacks on VPNs are attacks on digital privacy and digital freedom. And that battle is being fought by people who clearly have no idea how any of this technology actually works. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...
Lawmakers Want to Ban VPNs—And They Have No Idea What They're Doing
It's unfortunately no longer enough to force websites to check your government-issued ID before you can access certain content, because politicians have now discovered that people are using Virtual

I so want this to succeed. You’re telling me I can create an app and the whole persistence layer is owned by the user, and creates this immutable web of data that can be riffed on by other apps even when the original app is gone?
I need to carve time out to build something in the atmosphere.

I feel for the maintainers here. It’s already such a thankless job. What a slap in the face this must have been.
Having met with both sides on the current RubyCentral/RubyGems situation, here's my take:
- RubyCentral have managed this exceptionally poorly in many ways including removing literally the most active member of the RubyGems organisation by mistake who has declined to return

I made a magic quadrant about how to choose your tech stack
Seriously, DYOR: no one will do it for you. Try out stuff. See what works. Ignore reports from people who don't do the work and are pay-to-play anyway

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

1. LLM-generated code tries to run code from online software packages. Which is normal but
2. The packages don’t exist. Which would normally cause an error but
3. Nefarious people have made malware under the package names that LLMs make up most often. So
4. Now the LLM code points to malware.

LLMs hallucinating nonexistent software packages with plausible names leads to a new malware vulnerability: "slopsquatting."
LLMs can't stop making up software dependencies and sabotaging everything

its always "ai reducing the amount of code you write" or "ai reducing the number of tickets you have to respond to" never "ai reducing the number of meetings you have to attend". get your priorities straight people smh
im starting to feel the slow transition from "i write software" to "i usually write software with a lot of meetings in between". is this what the beginning of the end looks like?
