For nearly 30 years, journalists have relied on the Internet Archive to see how stories were originally published, before edits, removals, or changes. We need to safeguard that. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/blocking-internet-archive-wont-stop-ai-it-will-erase-webs-historical-record
Blocking the Internet Archive Won’t Stop AI, But It Will Erase the Web’s Historical Record

Imagine a newspaper publisher announcing it will no longer allow libraries to keep copies of its paper. That’s effectively what’s begun happening online in the last few months. The Internet Archive—the world’s largest digital library—has preserved newspapers since it went online in the mid-1990s....

@quentinpradet and I can finally share that we participated in Session 3 of the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund. As part of this cohort, we focused on hardening the library's security, setting up a formal Security Policy, and auditing our repository settings.

Open source sustainability isn't just about features; it's about security.

I got Ned's point, but I don’t think we can treat Claude (or similar tools) at the same level as a person.

We've never added tools (e.g. isort, Black, Ruff, ...) as co-authors of commits, even when they generated 100% of a commit.

Listing Claude as a co-author of a commit put it the same level as a person, but it's a tool.

The author of a commit is a person responsible for the code they submit, without shifting that responsibility to the tool, or worse, to the project maintainers.

Google continues to take money for malware pretending to be Homebrew installation.

There’s nothing Homebrew can do about this. Google needs to fix it.

Please put me in contact with someone at Google high enough level to actually fix it.

https://github.com/Homebrew/install/issues/1074

Google keyword `brew` points to a malicious site with false Homebrew install instructions · Issue #1074 · Homebrew/install

your problem was from running the official install or uninstall script? you carefully read the output and it was not a git fetch or other connection issue to GitHub (that Homebrew has no control ov...

sometimes when i feel my code has too many confusing states, i like to stop, take a deep breath, and open the MSDN page for the MsoTrioState enum.

MsoTrioState is "a tri-state Boolean value". it has five possible values. only two of them are supported.

the only supported values are true and false.
