🚨 OMG, #dnsmasq is exploding! 🚨 In a shocking twist of fate, CERT drops six #CVEs on lazy vendors who didn't realize their software was a ticking time bomb. Apparently, "longstanding bugs" means "we've ignored this for years, but now it's an emergency" 😂.

🥴 Oh, the joys of bug reporting with Apple: it's like playing whack-a-mole where the moles gaslight you into thinking they're fixed unless you constantly babysit them. Developers suggest boycotting the Feedback Assistant – but who can resist the thrill of shouting into the void, hoping for a miracle? 🤪🔧

Apple randomly closes bug reports unless you “verify” the bug remains unfixed

TechCrunch: For open source programs, AI coding tools are a mixed blessing. “Earlier this month, developer Mitchell Hashimoto launched a system that would limit GitHub contributions to ‘vouched’ users, effectively closing the open-door policy for open source software. As Hashimoto put it in the announcement, ‘AI eliminated the natural barrier to entry that let OSS projects trust by default.'”

The Antigravity A1 drone: 8K 360-degree video, FPV goggles, and controls that feel like you're playing GTA 5. Seriously.
It even *magically* removes itself from footage! But don't worry, the "press-once-press-it-again-and-hold-and-pray" pairing ritual for its software issues keeps things grounded.
Would you trade cutting-edge features for bulletproof stability, or is the future always a bit buggy?
