Do you take screenshots constantly and then immediately lose track of them forever more amongst the sea of other screenshots you've taken? I do. I just came across this tool but haven't tried it yet. Have you? What method of screenshot storage & organization works for you?

“One of the fundamental security principles that exists...is called sandboxing...You run everything in a sandbox, and there is no interaction within different elements running on it. What this attack vector allows is to break the sandbox that exists between the mobile context and the web context. The channel that exists allowed the Android system to communicate what happens in the browser with the identity running in the mobile app.”

Just announced: #SnowflakeDB to acquire #CrunchyData, a PostgreSQL startup, in order to help Snowflake "to win over customers seeking to build their own artificial intelligence agents. The deal is valued at roughly $250 million, according to a person familiar with the matter."

This development closely follows Databricks' acquisition of Neon earlier in May:

The opportunity for malicious activity has exponentially increased with #AI being used frequently in coding environments, these days.

This read lists examples of possible threats, explores how they might happen, explains that relying on agentic AI to save us from agentic AI might not work as well as we might hope (shocking, I know), and finishes off with best practices that are good to follow *anyway*.

@talktomeabouttech @posetteconf Mama Lily loves her kisses 🥰

Boriss Mejías and I just finished recording our storytelling session about the advantages of data modeling (in #PostgreSQL, but applies for any relational database) for @posetteconf ! 🐘

When it's live, you'll be able to hear him mention "no animals were harmed during the making of this video" - that's because Mama Lily here is in my recording room with her baby bunnies, and they enjoy pretending to be a construction crew at all times.

Their toys were removed just for the talk so they took a nap, and everything was put back - so everyone went right back to having fun ☀️

Register for POSETTE (or keep an eye out for the recordings!) here: lnkd.in/gQbQe4qJ

Or check out my rescue Two Rabbit Rescue on Instagram (@2rabbitrescue), Mastodon (@2rabbitrescue@mastodon.social), or Facebook (@two-rabbit-rescue) to keep an eye out for when Mama Lily and her kids are adoptable 💕 (or if you just want to see more bunny cuteness!)

If you’re interested in rabbit fostering and are located in , we urgently need your help!

abandonment, surrendering, & hoarding / overbreeding cases are at a high and we’re getting requests to help almost on a daily.

We provide full support once you’re approved, and will transport the rabbit(s) to you, provide all supplies necessary and training information to help with any behavioral issues, and pay for gas & medical appointments.

@tchorix & I are presenting on data modeling within #PostgreSQL in a storytelling fashion at @posetteconf, a free virtual event hosted by #Microsoft that's all about #Postgres this June 10-12!

Want to tune in? Add the livestream to your calendar, or register (optionally) here: posetteconf.com/2025/talks/pos (or, wait until the recording is out after the event!)

Illustrations will be completed by Scarlett Riggs, who we are very excited to be working with.

This talk should be great for anyone that's looking to understand things from the perspectives of an application developer, and a seasoned database administrator; here, you'll be able to learn when it is best to handle logic within the database vs. the application!

Looking forward to seeing you there 📽️

The black-and-white bunny, Gracie, is 2 years old, and the gold bunny Goldie is 3 years old. They are not related but are bonded, and we will not be separating them.

They’ll come near you but currently don’t like being touched. Our rabbit nonprofit will help with training them to be more comfortable with touch and interactions, along with anything else they might need help with.

The crazy time for rabbits being abandoned has hit us! We have several bunnies in urgent need of foster care. These two are female bonded bunnies that have only ever been outdoors, and will need a fully indoor foster along with socialization training.
