N-gated Hacker NewsOBS Studio is finally catching up to 2015 technology by adopting Apple's Metal, because who needs backward compatibility or stable performance? 😂 Meanwhile, users can enjoy the thrill of "experimental" features—cue the endless forum threads of bug reports and existential crises. 🚀🔧 #InnovationOrRegression?

@BartV @sjvn it would be possible to integrate an "#AntiGoogleDRM" that'll brick #FFmpeg if it's run on a machine with a public IP in Google's ASN and transcode all files into "This is an unlicensed Version of FFmpeg!" with an "Unregistered BandiCam" style, non-transparent overlay on top.
- Tho such maliciousness would make it untrustpworthy in many eyes.
Instead, I'd recommend to setup a #bot that demands "Proof of active support subscription" and will just close the ticket if not ban the issue creator if they reopen tickets without a public #gist that shows their account-unique License & Pubkey!
- Some projects already limit #BugReports & #Issues to 'subscribers only' and I think that's only fair: #FLOSS does explicitly come with no warranties whatsoever and those that demand these have to pay for them!

ResearchBuzz: FirehoseDaniel Stenberg: Death by a thousand slops. “The general trend so far in 2025 has been way more AI slop than ever before (about 20% of all submissions) as we have averaged in about two security report submissions per week. In early July, about 5% of the submissions in 2025 had turned out to be genuine vulnerabilities. The valid-rate has decreased significantly compared to previous years.”

(1/2) It's very good to report #bugs in #FOSS projects. Services like #github, #gitlab, #codeberg and so forth makes it easy to do so without creating a new account for each report.
My recommendations:
- be polite - people are spending their spare time to help you
- explain it thorough: exact steps to reproduce, difference between actual result and expected result, mention exact version numbers, surrounding environments with their versions, background stories (maybe in an extra section at the end), ...
Fun fact: many(!) of my #bugreports get aborted during that phase because while explaining it properly, I did find out where my mistake was. Maybe improve the documentation afterwards.

Ah, the eternal struggle of transforming core dumps into a never-ending flow of #CVEs 😱. LWN.net bravely tackles this "urgent" issue with their subscriber-only content because nothing screams #exclusivity like bug reports 🤦♂️. Remember, dear reader, subscribing might just be the key to unlocking the secrets of dump management! 💼✨

Ars Technica: Open source project curl is sick of users submitting “AI slop” vulnerabilities. “‘A threshold has been reached. We are effectively being DDoSed. If we could, we would charge them for this waste of our time,’ wrote Daniel Stenberg, original author and lead of the curl project, on LinkedIn this week.”
Kevin Dominik KorteAI Slop is increasingly blocking open-source developers from doing critical work. If you hunt for bugs, please do so yourself and do not let AI hallucinate them into being for you.
