We have published an open letter to Google opposing the Android Developer Verification Program with over 30 organizations as signatories: https://keepandroidopen.org/open-letter/

Does it frustrate you that there's never any time to learn stuff or do new things at work? I gave a keynote at DevoxxUK about how to sell what you want to do to the business - how to get time or money to invest in a new idea or new way of doing things:

Razem z 126 sygnatariuszami podpisaliśmy list otwarty ws. pakietu #DigitalOmnibus. Apelujemy do Komisji Europejskiej, by nie pozwalała na demontowanie mechanizmów obrony przed zagrożeniami cyfrowymi i systemami AI wysokiego ryzyka.
Cały list: https://panoptykon.org/omnibus-list-organizacji-do-komisji-europejskiej

There’s this Google product, NotebookLM, where you dump text files into it and you can ask questions to it. they just rolled out a feature to generate a “podcast” based on the source material.

I piped out 100,000 characters of /dev/urandom, encoded it as binary in a text file, titled them all “patent.txt” and gave it to a notebook.
