A new ‘Fediverse feed’ in your Following section will show posts from Mastodon, Flipboard, and elsewhere.

If you use "AI agents" (LLMs calling tools in a loop) you need to be aware of the Lethal Trifecta Any time you combine access to private data, exposure to untrusted content and the ability to externally communicate an attacker can trick the system into stealing your data https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/the-lethal-trifecta/

I Tried Pre-Ordering the Trump Phone. The Page Failed and It Charged My Credit Card the Wrong Amount

I got a confirmation email saying I'll get another confirmation when it's shipped. But I haven't provided a shipping address.
