Is there anything Microsoft is not doing these days?

LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your Computer

Microsoft is running one of the largest corporate espionage operations in modern history. Every time any of LinkedIn’s one billion users visits linkedin.com, hidden code searches their computer for installed software, collects the results, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers and to third-party companies including an American-Israeli cybersecurity firm. The user is never asked. Never told. LinkedIn’s privacy policy does not mention it. Because LinkedIn knows each user’s real name, employer, and job title, it is not searching anonymous visitors. It is searching identified people at identified companies. Millions of companies. Every day. All over the world.

Effective 27 April, GitLab will require MFA, according to an email sent to GitLab users.

This only includes gitlab.com, not self-managed instances. Accounts which exclusively use Single Sign On will not be required to enable MFA.

Users who do not enable MFA before the deadline will be automatically opted-in to MFA using a token sent to the email associated with the account.

GitLab recommends anyone using password authentication for the GitLab API migrate to using Personal Access Tokens.

GitLab's email does not cite a reason for the change, but the likely motivation is the threat of supply chain attacks on open source projects.

Code coverage is an integral part of software testing. #Perl has Devel::Cover for that and it just got a major update:

https://github.com/pjcj/Devel--Cover/issues/43#issuecomment-4146295175

In 2022 I had the issue that some executable .pl scripts were not covered by tests at all and our “coverage ratio” was lying. The usual hint to just "use" all modules in a test didn’t apply to .pl files.

After many years of feature requests the latest update now allows to seed the database with uncompiled files to get the coverage ratio correctly 🥳

Optionally include in reports files that aren't touched at all by tests · Issue #43 · pjcj/Devel--Cover

My test suite is so bad that some modules in my project aren't just badly covered, they're not touched at all. And so they don't show up in reports from Devel::Cover. I'd like to have them show up....

Every so often, a new data serialisation format appears and people get excited about it. Recently, one of those formats is **TOON** — Token-Oriented Object Notation. As the name suggests, it’s another way of representing the same kinds of data structures that you’d normally store in JSON or YAML: hashes, arrays, strings, numbers, booleans and
