πŸ”— "I Am An AI Hater"

AI spawns a lot of feelings. Some people just use it as it, some people are forced to use it at work, because Management thinks productivity will be through the roof and bags of cash be flown into the house. Some people try and ignore it; And some people hate it. With passion, with consideration, and with a look behind the veil.

πŸ”— "Mark Zuckerberg sues Mark Zuckerberg"

This is too funny: A lawyer named Mark Zuckerburg is pissed because Facebook keeps disabling his account on terms of impersonating Mark Zuckerburg (Meta CEO).

πŸ”— "Why 'Silksong' Took Seven Years to Make"

Silksong took 7 years to make and comes out in just two weeks! There were a lot of rumors about it in the past: People talking about the game being discarded, never coming out, the team going silent and not posting any updates... turns out, they were just having a great time!

πŸ”— "How I accidentally became PureGym's unofficial Apple Wallet developer"

Vadim Drobinin, frustrated with his gym app, reverse engineers the API and makes it Apple Wallet compatible to save a whooping 3.2h each year when going into the gym. This post is why I love being a programmer - finding an issue, working around it, making things work. Beautiful.

A good post about Matrix and where it comes short - messaging, surprisingly. There's a reason folks use Signal over the decentralized Matrix chat protocol and service.

Once again, Perplexity is stealing data it isn't supposed to access - actively circumventing counter measurements like robots.txt files and IP/User Agent blocks.

πŸ”— RE: "Google Cloud Incident"

Google Cloud Platform suffered an outage on the 12th of June, caused by a null pointer exception in a central component. As always, the post-mortem / incident report by Google is detailed, blameless, and open which is very nice to see - I like reading through them and learning from their takeaways.
