I don’t know what was worse, Stack Overflow’s moderation system, which many IT communities find annoying, or AI killing the site 🤔 Both extremes seem bad for the open web…. I still think that we don’t need three chatbots controlling everything. I fear Wikipedia might be next. This is not good for the Internet

The AI automation arms race layoff trap: 1 Competitive pressure pushes firms to automate using AI more than needed for market 2 Now jobless workers can't buy products/services, harming both labor & firm owners 3 Suggested solution by AI companies like UBI/upskilling/lower wages cannot stop the AI doom cycle The study concludes that only a Pigouvian automation tax can fix the problem. Policy makers must address the competitive drive to automate, not just the post AI fallout afterward

Claude Code's source code has been leaked via a map file in their NPM registry https://xcancel.com/Fried_rice/status/2038894956459290963 😂 Guess what? Most of code is either slop or even old good regex like for detecting negative sentiment in users prompt which is then logged

Thanks to WINE, Proton, and Valve's hardware, a significant milestone has been achieved with 90% of Windows games running on Linux, making nine out of ten Windows games accessible on a new Linux installation. Users are flocking to other platforms during the transition from the Windows 10 to 11 eras. Thank you Microsoft once again for enabling the age of Linux gaming, you are our biggest marketing partner 😉

I saw people getting upset over Rust bugs causing issues in Ubuntu for replacements for sudo and base utils. Let me tell you, all SDKs and languages have issues. Rust, by default, avoids many issues, especially memory safety. As long as they are fixing those bugs and compatibility issues, you are good to go. This is why using an LTS release is important, and they provide an easy way to switch between GNU and Rust utils

You can now use OCI Containers on FreeBSD. Here is a quick introduction to Containers on FreeBSD operating systems using Podman which is a fully featured container engine that is a simple daemonless tool. Podman provides a Docker-CLI comparable command line that eases the transition from other container engines and allows the management of pods, containers and images. Give it a try FreeBSD users and developers. You no longer need Linux server or desktop for dev work.

This is why Mozilla sucks so much, they are going crazy like rest of the industry. Source

The website Keep Android Open is an initiative to protest and advocate against a new policy by Google which bans slideloding apps.

Anti bloat IDEs. The good old days when you didn't need an internet connection, an API key/LLM subscription to write more bloat. People still built awesome games, apps, and solved real life scientific problems.

Over the next 24 months, GitHub will be migrating its entire infrastructure to Azure. This infrastructure priority will result in delays to some feature development. This is the last step to kill the complete independence of Github and tighten up the grip on GitHub. https://thenewstack.io/github-will-prioritize-migrating-to-azure-over-feature-development/

Despite generating $4.3 billion in revenue in the first half of 2025, OpenAI reported a net loss of $13.5 billion. In other words, ignore all sugar coating. They, are losing money heavily

They abandoned the goal cancer cure to produce only rewritten text, images, and 10 second meme videos. They're burning capital on millions of GPUs. The classic VC model. Outspend rivals and use others' copyrighted work without solving a single critical problem. No human suffering solved
