More than two years have passed since March 7, 2024, when Apple became legally obligated under the DMA to allow third-party browser engines, yet not a single browser vendor has successfully ported their own engine to iOS in the EU.

Oh really?

Can we just put it bluntly?

If you're vibe-coding open source, you are *not* doing open source.

To do open source, you must be creating source code that both has clear provenance *and* the new code you're writing is IP you have full rights to offer under compatible license. As is quickly becoming clear, that second one is getting tested and failing legal checks in places like the US.

@marioguzman I discovered (although this probably has downsides and definitely isn't a supported workflow) that I can download the Xcode 26.4 beta and `xcode-select -s` it and run the command-line tools from it on Sequoia, even if the Xcode app bundle itself won't launch
@anaerin albeit, we picked the objectively wrong of the two options to standardize on, but I'll take what wins I can get

I know this doesn't affect that many people but they gave like no warning so I guess now's the time to say something if you care.

@HopelessDemigod Likely because it costs money to operate and maintain and all the government departments are getting budgets cut due to the current economical situation 😞
Weatheradio - Canada.ca

Need to be alerted when weather threatens? Or do you just want to hear the latest weather information for your area at any time of day or night, any day of the year? Environment Canada’s Weatheradio network broadcasts weather warnings and current observations and forecasts using the VHF public radio band, 24/7. Within range of more than 90 percent of the population, Weatheradio can be heard on special receivers and, in some areas, on ordinary AM/FM radio.

Can we please just all start using `fs.glob` now?
