Lmao. Gen AI is causing outages at AWS and Amazon causing business income loss. So now all AI created code needs senior developers to check it twice. So how is this saving time? #ai #llm #aws

Hyperion author Dan Simmons dies from stroke at 77

I went into Hyperion blind, decades ago, knowing almost nothing about it. I was never the same.

We've been on X/Twitter for many years, but it's time to reduce our activity there and instead promote Mastodon as our main social media channel now. So we've done just that: https://x.com/LibreOffice/status/2026204949760131158 – Welcome to all our new followers here 😊
LibreOffice (@LibreOffice) on X

Hello, world! 👋 From now on, Mastodon is our preferred social media channel. It's an open source, decentralised platform – not controlled by tech giants. Follow us here: https://t.co/KZpwR61V5R

We all deserve stronger privacy protections online, and end-to-end encryption is one of the strongest tools to do so. Companies should make it the default more often, rather than optional (or unavailable). https://encryptitalready.org/
Encrypt It Already

Encrypt It Already

We knew this was coming, but now the clock is running. From Privacy International:

"Yesterday the Trump Administration announced a proposed change in policy for travellers to the U.S. It applies to the powers of data collection by the Customs and Border Police (CBP)."

"If the proposed changes are adopted after the 60-day consultation, then millions of travellers to the U.S. will be forced to use a U.S. government mobile phone app, submit their social media from the last five years and email addresses used in the last ten years, including of family members. They’re also proposing the collection of DNA."

PI linked to and summarized a Federal Register entry describing the proposed requirements:

-All visitors must submit ‘their social media from the last 5 years’

-ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) applications will include ‘high value data fields’, ‘when feasible’
‘telephone numbers used in the last five years’
-‘email addresses used in the last ten years’
-‘family number telephone numbers (sic) used in the last five years’
-biometrics – face, fingerprint, DNA, and iris
-business telephone numbers used in the last five years
-business email addresses used in the last ten years.

The Federal Register entry says comments are encouraged and
must be submitted (no later than February 9, 2026) to be assured of consideration.

The end of the curl bug-bounty

tldr: an attempt to reduce the terror reporting. There is no longer a curl bug-bounty program. It officially stops on January 31, 2026. After having had a few half-baked previous takes, in April 2019 we kicked off the first real curl bug-bounty with the help of Hackerone, and while it stumbled a bit at first … Continue reading The end of the curl bug-bounty →
