SpaceX isn’t a money furnace as some commentators have said, it’s a financial black hole! @pboyle.bsky.social goes over their financials and the market. My conclusion; someone who works for the FTC is going to write a @nytimes.com bestseller. youtu.be/wKXgeNwNRJ4?...

I donated some signed Black Mirror / San Junipero stuff to this charity auction, which ends tomorrow - if you don’t bid on it, you’re a monster: uk.givergy.com/beautybanksh...

I think @patrick.risky.biz & @metlstorm.risky.biz called this a few weeks back, Matrix protocol and Element client are being put in places they’re no where near ready for.

@caolanrob.bsky.social & @conorgallagher.bsky.social Sounds like FFG will be forced to do the right thing and ban the export of raw materials from Aughinish to Russia by the EU, the usual foot dragging.

We wanted to understand what’s happening with the Strait of Hormuz. So we talked to five raw milk drinkers at an emergency room in Idaho.

Many fear the consequences of a Russian defeat, but the risks of Russian aggression continuing are greater. Unchecked aggression leads to more aggression. If aggression is allowed to succeed, more nations will conclude that only nuclear weapons can guarantee their security.

Negligence without consequences breeds more negligence.

Microsoft didn’t pay this researcher either, he could have absolutely owned their internal services. Their program is a joke. youtu.be/sWV_3k-_S7Y?...

OpenMLS, our implementation of the Messaging Layer Security (MLS) protocol, has undergone a security audit conducted by @srlabs.bsky.social and sponsored by the @sovereign.tech. The security audit marks an important step toward making OpenMLS more secure. More details in our blog post:

😂 @patrick.risky.biz on this week’s @riskybusiness.bsky.social with @metlstorm.risky.biz and @jameswilson.io youtube.com/shorts/lAJH3...

the stock market making insane moves on some walmart level journalism. the us media getting two trump admin sources on background to say the same thing the admin is saying on fox news isn’t journalism. It’s an echo chamber. How about you interview some Iranian government sources? Too much work?

NYT defending a story sourced from the Trump & Israeli admins days before an important vote on Iran. Misunderstanding Amanpour, they tell her to trust their pulitzers. Same push back from NYT publishing the same style bs stories fed to them by the Bush admin desperate to get support during Iraq.

Just to make sure we’re on the same page… the Mahmoud Ahmadinejad story is almost certainly concocted, right?! www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

Hegseth makes clear he's still refusing to spending congressionally allocated funds to support Ukraine

So it begins.

The Visiual Studio Code team had to remove one of their self deprecating easter egg strings in VS code chat, "Activating Cortana" after people thought that Cortana was being brought back. Which leaves us with the equally funny "Summoning Clippy".

VS Code Chat Local, with Claude Opus 4.7 FTW. Not the fastest, but 100% more transparent and feels much more controlled.

Lol 😂. What a day for the NSA, European countries jumping from Signal to some shit non-e2ee apps or some garbage powered by whatever’s Matrix is saying is E2EE. At least use something secure like Wire!

Just shipped PanicLock with a new feature called Lock on Close. Perfect for Journalists, etc. Close your MacBook lid and Touch ID is disabled automatically. When you open it again, you’ll need your password. No fingerprint unlock.

Could this be the famous German foresight that predicted the last two world wars?

We’re seeing cases where teams can’t explain how they were compromised by the Axios incident because it doesn’t show up in their project's lockfile. The blast radius here is much larger than it looks. Deep dive into the messy reality of modern dependency resolution → socket.dev/blog/hidden-...

Headlines like this need to followed by headlines “X library ported to Rust/Go using Claude Code”. Otherwise we’re gonna have a bad time. There are so many undiscovered security vulnerabilities out there, but no class of vuln beats C & C++ Memory Safety vulnerabilities which we know how to solve.

Securing Microsoft products is busy work while waiting to have it undercut by the next wave of MS’s insane tech debt and greed. At what point will Security professionals start turning down roles that involve “securing” MS Products? I’m already at this point.

I frequently found companies using real production data in development settings because it sped up feature development. One of the security & privacy benefits of AI is developers ability to make high fidelity seed data for development and testing, avoiding this hard to shake anti-pattern.

It's only a matter of time before Trump implements energy export restrictions. Aiming to provide domestic price relief, annoys European allies and accelerates the bidding war for remaining global energy. Ramping up the likelihood of a winter 26/27 energy catastrophe.

Really enjoyed Project Hail Mary. I'm pretty amazed the crammed so much into the movie. Hopefully the money they earn from this will encourage Hollywood to go back to making this style of big budget movies again.

Oscars Pfizer ad has me PUMPED!!

Not getting phone calls or imessage/sms haptics when using iPhone lockdown mode pretty much makes my watch useless. It also makes the action buttons on contacts greyed out and useless. Why either of these things are disable needed for security is confusing, feel like it's half baked tbh.

Reviewing some project code I wrote in the last year.... 👀 was this AI... nope... misspellings everywhere...

I wonder will distillation attacks result in much better opensource models? Is there Common Crawl for distillation attacks?

I can’t say enough good things about Resend. They really nail the hard parts of sending email. Over the past two weeks I’ve migrated three different projects, each using a different email provider, over to Resend. Based on some small tests I’ve run, their delivery rate also appears to be higher.

A question we might have to ponder soon. Why is it legitimate for Britain, France, US, China, etc. having a nuclear deterrent, but not Ukraine?

4.5 million word articles on why AI is a scam by a guy who doesn't know the difference between the frontend and backend development. I think I need a cigarette

Calling Twillio’s setup process for WhatsApp or SMS kafkaesque would be an understatement… I’ve found two infinite loops in their setup forms.

Zelensky hinting that, once again, the US might be delaying the supply of anti air missiles to Ukraine, so as to help Russia.

Six people are being prosecuted in Paris over the use of an IMSI catcher to send out phishing SMS messages. Here's a thread of the proceedings.

Apple is really trying to shove MacOS 26 Tahoe down our throats. They're hiding it as a default under updates, and also having it under Upgrade. I'm going to hold out as long as I keep getting security updates or they fix the awful Liquid Glass performance in Tahoe.

Watching journalists finally get riled up about the Washington Post layoffs… honestly, it grates. Where was this outrage when other people’s jobs were being shredded and their institutions burned? Suddenly it’s a crisis when it hits the prestige press?

The word don't is censored. Don't, or Don T. If you're looking for just some fun proof they're doing control+f censoring

“Yes this library is written in a memory safe language,… Claude code is memory safe, right?!”

Built a free opensource macOS app this week. It's called PanicLock. One click (or keyboard shortcut) instantly disables Touch ID and locks your Mac. Password required to get back in. Why? Because of what happened to Hannah Natanson. paniclock.github.io

On macOS there is no iPhone-style “panic button” to instantly disable Touch ID. Ideally there would be a shortcut to force password-only auth on demand. iOS has it. macOS doesn’t. 🔐🍎

OpenClaw (ClawdBot) usage with Telegram is a security and privacy disaster waiting to happen.

The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I’m guessing they’ve timed the Epstein document dump with bombing Iran?

Bastards have sharply intensified Starlink-enabled drone attacks on Ukrainian logistics. Over the past 24 hours, dozens of strikes have been recorded, including attacks on civilian buses. Russian forces have focused their main efforts on targeting logistical facilities in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

If you're a victim of repeated flooding, you need to start looking at land use upstream. One of these sponges up vast amounts of water, releasing it slowly, the other does not. One reduces flooding, the other *increases* it. Without addressing this core driver, it'll just keep on getting worse.

A budget and election won't fix this. Due to a frozen in time constitution US democracy relies on “norms” and patriotic myth instead of hard law. It only took one politician to trample those norms without consequence and all the guardrails made of norms vanished. Leaving the country vulnerable.

Microsoft Office 365 Copilot, or whatever they call it, has an insane amount of outages. And that's only the ones they declare, we had plenty of painful MS Entra & Intune bugs and outages that they failed to acknowledge and then silently fixed. With poor support. I'm in the move off MS camp.
