The solo maintainer for libxml2 is no longer accepting embargoed vulnerability reports, citing the unsustainable burden as an unpaid volunteer. Security issues will be treated like any other bug report moving forward.

Someone who works on YouTube needs to realize that bilingual people exist. For a while now the app insists in translating video titles from Portuguese to English (I use my devices in English). If I change the language to Portuguese, it then translates video titles from English to Portuguese. I just want to see the original content as it was posted by the creator. And now it's even auto-enabling AI dubbing 🤦🏻‍♂️ Give me a checkbox to turn this off, please!

I've still never gotten into `fzf` (and maybe I never will!) but I think it's really cool that you can use a fzf 1-liner to make things like this little UI for reviewing git commits

(fzf stands for "fuzzy finder" but I think it's interesting that you can use it for many things that do not involve searching or finding at all!)

If you want to check your app against the xOS 26 SDKs but don't want to get Liquid Glass just yet, Apple has a compatibility mode that will help. Use with caution; they'll remove it in a future major release. https://www.donnywals.com/opting-your-app-out-of-the-liquid-glass-redesign-with-xcode-26/
Opting your app out of the Liquid Glass redesign with Xcode 26 – Donny Wals

On iOS 26, iPadOS 26 and more, your apps will take on a whole new look based on Apple’s Liquid Glass redesign. All you need to do to adopt this new style in your apps is recompile. Once recompiled…

Nice improvement in Xcode 26.

Show's the #if that matches the #endif

Pro tip: if you want to see what your app looks like with the new design on iOS 26 but for some reason can't build it with the new SDK, add the following to your app's launch arguments (or set it in user defaults):

"-com.apple.SwiftUI.IgnoreSolariumLinkedOnCheck YES"

This is my favorite new thing from this WWDC. Other platforms have this, but you have to fiddle with JSON schemas (or worse, YAML!). Having type-safe structured data generated reliably on-device by an LLM is going to enable lots of cool features. #wwdc25 https://mastodon.social/@stroughtonsmith/114672983782619111
