The Rust project puts out an article about how they're listening to their community https://blog.rust-lang.org/2026/03/20/rust-challenges/
Except it turns out that article was drafted by an LLM https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/1rz15t3/what_we_heard_about_rusts_challenges_and_how_we/obiwu24/
They claim nearly every line was rewritten by a human but I'm not sure how you could send a worse signal to your community about how much you aren't listening than having an LLM draft a post saying we're really listening, honest
First they ask for your date of birth,
but later they claim it's not enough.
Then they ask for your full name and location,

At Myke’s suggestion, I have accomplished something truly beautiful*, an episode of Connected played via floppy disk

the pressure from social media worked. In systemd, age verification has finally been reverted and removed for good. Linux is always for privacy conscious users, it isn't just another Microslop SlopOS https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41179 thanks @reddy_1975 for the heads up!
EDIT: they rejected the PR. So keep fight on! systemd folks are cowards and enabling this mess.

Um, so how about no? Google Announced New Apk Sideloading Rules for Android. Key change: The new method introduces a 24-hour waiting period for users who wish to install manual APK packages from unregistered developers.
Users must activate Developer Mode and select the authorization for unverified packages. This sequence requires a device restart and screen lock verification. A 24-hour waiting period follows setup. After this delay, the user must provide biometric or PIN authentication to finalize the configuration.
The system offers either permanent or seven-day temporary authorizations. Every installation attempt triggers a risk warning that requires manual confirmation. Users may alternatively utilize the Android Debug Bridge utility via a physical computer connection. Google also provides a free account tier for students, which limits installations to twenty registered devices.
Professional developers must register through the Android Developer Console for a $25 fee. This process requires identification documents and digital signature keys. Google will implement these verification requirements in select regions by September 2026. The company intends to expand protocols globally during 2027.
