It isn't just the UK, who's purchasing decisions have put it into a big tech dependency. Unfortunately, it is most countries, organizations, and individuals.

Ah, the brilliant #innovation of #waiting a whole N days before updating! 🤔 Because nothing screams "cutting-edge security" like hoping someone else finds the #malware first. 🐢💤 Just sit back, relax, and let others do the dirty work while you sip your #coffee and ride the #dependency coattails. ☕🪑

Maven - was ist das überhaupt? | magicmarcy.de

Maven ist für viele Java-Einsteiger eines der ersten Werkzeuge, die ihnen im Projektalltag begegnen. Und oft wirkt es am Anfang abstrakt: eine pom.xml, viele unbekannte Elemente, fremde Ordnerstruktur, automatische Downloads – was passiert hier eigentlich? Als Ausbilder sehe ich immer wieder, wie sehr Maven den Einstieg erleichtern kann, wenn man einmal verstanden hat, was es macht: Es organisiert dein Projekt, verwaltet Abhängigkeiten, baut dein Programm und sorgt dafür, dass es auf jedem Rechner gleich gebaut werden kann. In diesem Beitrag führe ich dich Schritt für Schritt durch die Grundlagen.

Big Tech AI companies are trying to get us and our data into their silos and walled gardens. Their ultimate goal is to make us less free and simply turn us into a source of recurring revenue.

Analysis: How dangerous trends in the AI era risk taking us backward

Is the AI boom a step backward for the internet? How do ecosystem silos, cloud dependence and the atrophy of human intent threaten our digital sovereignty?

Apparently #FastAPI killed #typer_slim, which used to be a lightweitght distribution of #typer without fancy dependencies, and is now a "thin wrapper" around #typer, with its entire #dependency tree, effectively removing the entire purpose of the package.

I really dislike *this* type of "dependency injection", so I'm out. I'll be using vanilla #pythonclick and if that also becomes a burden, I'll be back to #argparse.

NPM 의존성에 axios를 사용 중이라면 안전한 버전으로 고정했는지 확인해야 한다는 경고입니다. axios를 대상으로 한 추가적인 공급망 공격 가능성이 제기되며, 개발자들은 즉시 버전 잠금과 보안 점검을 진행하는 것이 권장됩니다.

If you have NPM package axios in your dependencies you need to make sure it's pinned to a known safe version, sounds like there's another supply chain attack in play

Maven ist eines der zentralen Werkzeuge im Java-Ökosystem. Wenn du weniger als ein Jahr Erfahrung hast, wirkt es am Anfang oft sperrig und unnötig komplex. In der Praxis löst Maven jedoch sehr konkrete Probleme: wiederholbare Builds, saubere Abhängigkeiten und eine klare Projektstruktur. Sobald du das Grundprinzip verstanden hast, wird Maven eher Werkzeug als Hürde.

Stay away from banks: they exist to exploit you

Banks are not your friend. They exist to exploit you, and they will whenever they can. This is the audio version: Banks want to keep you in debt. I know they produce those lovely cuddly adverts that imply that they're your friend, helping you out as you go through life, but all of...
