Ads are entering #AI market, lovely🫠 🙃 "Ads may appear on Free and Go plans. Ads do not influence the answers ChatGPT gives you... If you choose personalised ads, you’ll get relevant ads using information that stays only on ChatGPT, such as ads you've interacted with, or context from your chats."

Happy upgrading if you're running #Kubernetes on #AWS 🏗️: - User Namespaces to GA - Mutating Admission Policies for CEL-based resource mutations - In-Place Pod-Level Resources Vertical Scaling - and more: aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

Boring but functional post on something I think more leaders need to address: guidelines for respectful use of AI medium.com/@skamille/gu...

Less than a week until #soocon26 🎉 Awesome line-up at an amazing venue in Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿. I hope to see you there, and if you're around come and say hi 👋 More: stateofopencon.com/edinburgh-so...

Now you actually know if and why account 'disappears from your #AWS Org 🙃 - only took until 2026 to emit those logs 😅 "AWS Organizations now automatically emits CloudTrail events to your management account whenever accounts join or leave your organization." aws.amazon.com/about-aws/wh...

LOL, it only took #AWS to reach broad adoption of #LLM s to give use scale to zero for OpenSearch 🙃 "OpenSearch Serverless scales to zero when idle, offering up to 60% cost savings compared to the cost of OpenSearch Service clusters provisioned for peak capacity." aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/in...

Agree and show where the focus should be next: "You still have to figure out how to efficiently review, reject, and refine these big jumps." We definitely need heavier investment into not just CI/CD automation, specifications, but also testing and going safer with Guardrails and Controls.

Something to keep in mind with #AI as well - it changes how the work gets done, not what the job is! Experience, understanding how things work, critical technical mindset and safety becomes more valuable, not less.

LOL: "Mythos avengers" sorted us out so it's all good now 🫠 www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Good talk followed up by Q&A by @geekygirldawn.bsky.social about #OpenSource projects power dynamics and rug pulls Indicators and Red Flags: - Contributor License Agreements(CLAs) - Neutral Foundations and Governance Mitigate through Contribution👏 Worth a watch: fastwonderblog.com/2025/09/18/w...

With #Terraform 1.16 entering Alpha a TL;DR abotu cool features of 1.15: * const variables in module source and version fields * vars, outputs can be marked as deprecated * convert to complex type * outputs have a type attribute like variables Full changelog: github.com/hashicorp/te...

Seems I'll be hanging around for another year as part of #AWS Community Builders 😀 🎉 As part of participating in the community I'm glad to see aws-vault fork getting more adoption and contributions of cool new features: github.com/ByteNess/aws... 🚀

Ups🙃

The writing's on the wall 😉

💡 TIL you can do that, and it seems also bash and in zsh

💯 and sometimes not an easy thing to do 🤪

Absolutely 💯 and one could argue that we were depriving people of human interaction and communication.

Something to keep in mind is build-in bias in training data, resulting this "Merton framed the dynamic as a “misallocation” of recognition, an injustice to those (often junior) scientists whose credit is diverted to the undeserving few. He invoked what he called the “class structure” of science..."

OMFG: "Amazon employees are “tokenmaxxing” due to pressure to use AI tools" This feels like Goodhart's Law in action where employees are burning tokens via MeshClaw to look productive on leaderboards and management swears aren't used for evaluations 🤦 arstechnica.com/ai/2026/05/a...

Quite a few of these lately, and a good reminder to keep up with patching folks 😉

At least some positive news - GDS published some guidance to say they (still 😌) recommend open-by-default development. www.gov.uk/guidance/ai-... #OSS #OpenSouce

I've been talking about choosing boring technology for a while, but it's nicely framed in this post by RoseSecurity: "Simple Often Beats Clever. Focus on business velocity over code elegance. Your 3 AM self will thank you." 😉 Thanks for sharing @antonbabenko.com ! dev.to/rosesecurity...

Surely they don't need electricity to use #AI 🙃 Oh, wait not utility's problem, they'll increase their revenue and make stakeholders happy🤦

Lovely, sure 4GB for a browser seems reasonable and great value for all those #AI features 🙃

💯 and I hope we'll see some improvement soon. Feels like lately availability degradations is quite noticeable 😞

Good read on Cognitive Debt: "How will they shape socio-technical practices and tools to externalize intent and sustain shared understanding? As #AI reduces technical friction, shared understanding may become the bottleneck on performance." 💭 margaretstorey.com/blog/2026/02...

Still a good Shout 😜: "In violent times, you shouldn't have to sell your soul" ✊ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ye7F...

LOL 🤣 Reminded me of: "Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time", Terry Pratchett(1996, Hogfather) 🙃

This is really disappointing 😞 Open letter: keepthingsopen.com

Happy Friday 😂 infosec.exchange/@i0null/1149...

Check you kernels and patch 🛠️⚠️

And is probably proudly monetising well too 🤑🙃

🙃🫥

Sometimes you just don't want clouds, and it's better to have blue skies🤪

It's a massive 🚩 and don't expect support when opting-out of communications, and you're still sending targeted leaflets 🤦

Update, but not immediately 🫠 blog.gitguardian.com/renovate-dep...

Seems like recent @github.com availability issues are triggering some visible exits. @mitchellh.com has a blog post on the topic: mitchellh.com/writing/ghos...

Apple pushed an update that stopped deleted Signal messages being stored in the iPhone’s notification database. This comes directly in response to 404 Media finding the FBI was using this technique to recover deleted Signal messages. No longer an issue now www.404media.co/apple-fixes-...

For all Claude users out there...hope you're on Government endpoint 🫠

"Slovenia stands alongside Ireland, Spain, the Netherlands and Iceland in refusing to take part in this year’s 70th edition of the competition due to the EBU allowing Israel to compete despite criticisms of its conduct in the war in Gaza." 👏 www.euronews.com/culture/2026...

🙈 Another data hunrgy move totally ignoring user #privacy 🤦‍♂️

Amazing sub 2h time 🤯 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet...

UK government vastly underestimated the climate impact of artificial intelligence, it has emerged, after officials raised their estimate of carbon emissions from AI by a factor of more than 100. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Happy upgrading folks 🚀 #Kubernetes
