That's not a lot of reflection to go on 🤯

"Levine calls the whole trend “socially unacceptable behavior” that can completely kill spontaneous conversations. Others in the piece note it’s a legal minefield." 🙄 At the minimum you should ask for permission, and also avoid capturing more content than actually needed!

Doing #Terraform state encryption instead of using a backend #encryption always felt a bit like an overkill and quite fragile approach. But I can see how there might be edge cases when you'd be required to implement something like this. It's always good to start from the requirements and ⚖️

In the age of #AI rather than just personal data access, we should aim for rigorous data minimization, fiduciary duties, liability for negligent or reckless technological design, liability for algorithms that cause harm, and multi-stakeholder review of technologies: 🛡️ www.wsj.com/tech/cyberse...

Oh, amazing research - pixel that can emit and receive light at the same time 🤯 www.schneier.com/blog/archive...

Nice - Dependabot supports and defaults to 3 days of cooldown now 🏗️: * The default applies only to version updates. Security updates still open immediately, so critical fixes are never delayed. * You're in control by using cooldown option in your .github/dependabot.yml github.blog/changelog/20...

Great write-up on #OSS in the agentic era: "The industry has largely collapsed the distinction between software that’s free to change and software that’s free at the point of consumption - often described as the difference between ‘free beer’ and ‘free speech’." www.thoughtworks.com/insights/blo...

Looks like FIFA got quite lucky here 😜 And a good #security reminder: "Client-side authorization is not authorization." There was a chance to rickroll the entire World Cup😆: bobdahacker.com/blog/fifa-hack

I think we're heading towards the end of almost zero cost of content/code production with some #AI price hikes coming at the end of summer 😜

Indeed 👏 and lots of other horrible stories 😞 🎯 "...US makes it illegal anywhere else to dis-enshittify the products that America exports, so the American tech firms can steal all your data and money. And you can't go into business fixing it." - @doctorow.pluralistic.net with Trevor Noah

FYI, this is malware. If you see this, don’t do this

🍿I wouldn't be surprised if we'll see more of this in the future.

Along the similar lines from the @pragmaticengineer.com episode with @kentbeck.com on the pace of development: "We're accumulating code faster than we accumulating trust"💭 The whole episode has a lot of great stories and other awesome nuggets and it's worth a listen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddHQ...

I'm pretty sure there was a link on the Release page using: github.com/%3Corg%3E/%3... Could we get this back please @github.com ? 🙏😀

You can have all the data in the world and still make bad decisions 🤪

On the current #AI landscape: "We have Palaeolithic brains that don't update really well to new info, medieval institutions and God-like technology, which makes the 24th century technology crash down on 21st century society." - Tristan Harris @humanetech.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=NufB...

"Speaking at the White House on Monday, Trump said he had asked Fifa to review the decision because he 'didn't think it was a foul'." 🤡🤦 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Am I imagining this @github.com, or is there used to be info about number of commits since the release (on the specific release page) with a link to show the diff. And now only showing tag and commit for the release 🤔

WhatsApp now lets users reserve usernames ahead of the feature’s full rollout, making it possible to connect without sharing a phone number once usernames go live.

We are investigating an issue with our CDN origin, which is occasionally failing to load media assets. status.bsky.app

NEW BLOG FOR YOU Google's energy consumption numbers in their new climate report are mind-blowing. 2 years ago they flipped from linear to exponential growth, and their climate impact is blowing out, too. A WILD testament to the obscene bloat and waste of GenAI: ketanjoshi.co/2026/07/01/g...

And we're right in the middle 😅🫠

“Enshittification” has made it into the Oxford English Dictionary. Coined by @doctorow.pluralistic.net, it is defined as “the process by which an online platform degrades over time, typically resulting from business decisions prioritizing profit”. It is one of 900 new entries this quarter.

Oh, wow. That's cool. You can roll back #EKS now if needed - EKS now supports Kubernetes version rollback: aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

Few good takeaways from @kubernetes.io write-up on #OpenSource in the age of #AI: * Transparency first - AI usage must be disclosed * Human accountability - contributor remains fully responsible * Human engagement required - expectation is to engage with humans! kubernetes.io/blog/2026/06...

Love ❤️ to see #OpenSource community engagement and great things achieved together with #OSS contributors. I also got some great feedback on the latest aws-vault release performance improvements and it was really a team effort 🚀 github.com/ByteNess/aws...

One way to ship code faster than intended is CVE-2026-12957 and CVE-2026-12958: Issues in Language Servers for #AWS and Amazon Q Developer Plugins. Your #AI coding assistant now executes arbitrary commands from any workspace you open 😜 #security aws.amazon.com/security/sec...

Amazing milestone for Mel 👏🎂 But also probably says more about U.S. than Mel's age 😜

What a time to be in the industry 🙃🫠

Good write-up on data exfiltration & code backdooring through a few different techniques: labs.reversec.com/posts/2026/06/skill-issues-compromising-claude-code-with-malicious-skills-agents-part-2 #AI #Security Thanks for sharing @nojones.net !

In case you were wondering - that explains it 😜🤣

"Earlier this month, a German court ruled that Google is liable for its AI search summaries.

Solid advice how to use #LLM to produce useful #security stuff (and applies to other #AI tasks) by @mccune.org.uk 👏

How can you say no to the invite for cold 🍻 and 🍕 in this weather 😎 Also, get to listen to great talks by @mccune.org.uk and @adrianmouat.com about #AI #LLM at #CloudNative Edinburgh Thanks, @nick.sausage.social, for being here in spirit 🙃

While you're cooking in the heat this week, do bear this in mind.

Microsoft owns Azure and GitHub, and is quietly renting AWS to keep GitHub upright after agentic coding pushed commits from 1 billion to a projected 14 billion this year. The capacity crunch is real and Redmond is paying its archrival for breathing room. 🙃 #AI www.thehansindia.com/technology/t...

Fresh from @github.com: "Starting today, actions/checkout@v7 is GA and refuses common pwn requests" The pull_request_target is one of the most commonly misused triggers in GitHub Actions, leading to vulnerabilities in workflows. It runs with the base token and secrets!⚠️ github.blog/changelog/20...

IP ads😞: "Google dropped prohibition on fingerprinting for advertisers in 2024. The UK's ICO called the reversal "irresponsible" within a day. But the timing now is the awkward part. On May 18, 2026, the ICO published advice to the UK government on changing the consent rules for online advertising."

A big reason I built my replacement for the Google Health app is that Google replaced most of the dashboard on the Home Screen with an LLM coach that provides proactive health tips. Like all LLM-based features, it’s often wrong. This is a great example of how shoving AI into an app makes it worse
