If you're annoyed by the #copilot changing your commit messages and inserting ads: This was inevitable. It has been clear for a long time now that the AI business is unsustainable in its current form. There has to be ROI, or the investors will vote with their money.

In other news: Many commercial models are struggling massively during peak hours, and more limitations and throttling will be introduced.

I would only recommend that anyone using these systems acquires and maintains the actual skills to do their work without them.

🚨No Joke: Conservatives in the EU Parliament (EPP) want the vote on #ChatControl 1.0 to be repeated this Thursday - even though the Parliament already voted NO! 😡

DID YOU KNOW

before language models could extrude code, there was no way to

* automate things
* make things simpler
* reduce boilerplate
* write unit tests
* learn how things work

fortunately you can now send all your money to an oligarch to do these things poorly

Google has news on what you will need to do for still being able to sideload apps:

* enable developer options
* confirm that you are not tricked
* restart phone and re-authenticate
* wait one day
* confirm with biometrics that you know what you are doing
* decide if you only want unrestricted installs for 1 week or forever
* confirm that you accept the risks
* enjoy the few apps that still have developers motivated to develop for a user-base willing to put up with this

Uv is dead now. That sucks.

The existing derogation allowing voluntary chatcontrol is likely not be extended beyond it's deadline of April 3rd 2026. While the EU parliament and council each managed to successfully vote on a position, trilogue negotiations between Parliament, Council & Commission have not been successful: https://netzpolitik.org/2026/gescheiterte-verhandlungen-freiwillige-chatkontrolle-wird-vorerst-nicht-verlaengert/

Android provides a standard hardware attestation system with support for alternate operating systems via allowing their verified boot key fingerprints. It's mainly used with Google's root of trust and remote key provisioning service but the API supports alternative roots of trust.

Volla's Unified Attestation is fully built on Android's hardware attestation API. It solely exists to create a centralized authority and service determining what's allowed under their control.
