Love how we collectively skipped April Fool's Day 😅

Wasn’t me!

My ex employer - and my source of burnout! ❤️

I’m guessing, from the tone of today’s announcements, that Europe (including, if not especially, us) is about 1-2 weeks away from hitting a gap in supply.

Forgot to alt-text the original image: a dithered version of DJ Khaled with the text “and another one” accompanied by a couple of pixelated Shai Hulud worms I designed in Figma..

The attacker hijacked a maintainers account and published a compromised version manually bypassing the projects GitHub Actions pipeline..

A secure CI/CD becomes almost critical infra at this point. I am working on a project that tackles exactly that!

In a month there’s been at least 3 major supply chain attacks on critical packages that everyone — and most importantly vibecoders who don’t understand what they are building — are using. The latest has been on Axios (100m installs per week).

Sums it up 100%

The grifters were always there. I’m more referring to people I used to respect and now I have to read shit they never wrote (and clearly haven’t even vetted before posting)

The AI psychosis is so ripe on LinkedIn I actually have to unfollow people because they post stupid fucking bullshit that when I read I feel second hand embarrassment for their persons.

Jfc I used to like you..

People in Europe: what’s the best place to get premium stickers these days (like holographic etc)

At least we all kept our mastodon accounts

people finding out a science fiction writer they like has bad and incoherent politics

The @blockclubchi.bsky.social story is extremely credulous, despite Charles's efforts to clearly describe why this is a bad thing.

The difference between cucumbers and pickles is jarring.

I am a citizen of Iceland and let me assure you that we are not terrified of the future because of “authoritarian gender ideology”.

What scares us is transphobes, ultra right wing ideologies, the manosphere, fascism, MAGA, oligarchs, techno fascists, ecological collapse and climate change.

Exactly that

In Finland, unfortunately we get the DIY shop only.

Thanks, now it's stuck in my head

The production and management of anxiety (usually mediated by consumption) has been a major business model of some of the largest companies that exist today, little surprise that AI goes there, too

In Finland it’s only wolt drivers that do but they do look cool

I love the hope in @masnick.com's piece here (and appreciate being quoted), but I want to add an important bit of context — whether it's possible for LLMs to enable anything open to survive depends on who has power over those LLMs. Right now, that's fascists. Which is why the open web is in danger…
