๐Ÿšจ Alert the press! Someone at #BrowserStack is committing the most heinous crime imaginable: leaking email addresses! ๐Ÿ“ง๐Ÿ˜ฑ Meanwhile, our hero is too busy patting himself on the back for his unique email system to notice how much nobody else cares. ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ‘

Someone at BrowserStack is Leaking Users' Email Address

Like all good nerds, I generate a unique email address for every service I sign up to. This has several advantages - it allows me to see if a message is legitimately from a service, if a service is hacked the hackers can't go credential stuffing, and I instantly know who leaked my address. A few weeks ago I signed up for BrowserStack as I wanted to join their Open Source programme. I had a fewโ€ฆ

So libreoffice (or rather TDF) parts with Collabora office, its main code provider at the moment. Time to check again collabora's desktop office.

Oh, look! ๐Ÿš’ The internet's in flames again ๐Ÿ”ฅ over "leaked" source code that was apparently as secret as a public bus timetable ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Meanwhile, the tech world collectively loses its mind over a Rust rewrite, proving once more that developers are like magpies, irresistibly drawn to anything shiny and unnecessarily complex. ๐Ÿฆ๐Ÿ”ง

Claude Code's Source Didn't Leak. It Was Already Public for Years.

Everyone's calling it a source code leak. But Claude Code's entire CLI was already on npm, in plaintext, readable by anyone. Here's what actually happened โ€” and why it matters.

Ah, the classic tale of tech drama: two software projects playing the "you're not the boss of me!" game. ๐ŸŽญ #Nextcloud decided to go rogue and forked #OnlyOffice, only to be met with the predictable response of tech-world pettiness.

Caitlin had a dramatic exit from #OpenAI, which we would've loved to read about if it weren't for the JavaScript apocalypse on x.com. ๐Ÿšซโœจ Instead, we're left with an infinite loop of "try agains" and a browser compatibility saga that rivals a Shakespearean tragedy. ๐Ÿฟ๐Ÿ”„

Ah, the classic tale of software that "knows when to stop" - except when it doesn't! ๐Ÿ˜… Witness Olivier's epic battle with a rebellious 'ls' command, clearly conspiring against tranquility.
