Three thoughts about Apple pushing "ChatGPT Health":

• This is why I consider the OS duopoly to be bad, why "just use macOS" is not a sufficient response to Microsoft's rapid descent into slopware.
• When OpenAI implodes, and it will implode in a terrifying way, creditors are gonna come looking for assets. That now includes health data. That's scary as fuck.
• OpenAI is founded on eugenics. Even before they implode, don't give eugenicists your health data.

Trying to work out if something is AI generated or not is like a worse version of “is it cake”, because at least cake is tasty

If you have an account with the Apple App Store, you can report a problem with an app even if you do not have it installed.

1. Go to App Store.
2. Open link for downloading X (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/x/id333903271)
3. Scroll down to section on “Information”
4. Look for and click blue link for “Report a Problem”.
5. Follow prompts pictured in quoted post.

We unit test code's correctness—so why not unit test performance as well?

Having thought about the problem a little, here's my suggestion for a first step: testing big-O scalability.

As I was working my upcoming #FOSDEM talk "The Linux Phone App Ecosystem" (https://fosdem.org/2026/schedule/event/VH3GYN-linux-phone-app-ecosystem-2026/) I thought: Maybe I should ask my followers.. So here we are:

What do you want to know?
Which projects do I have to mention?
What should I focus on?
Which apps do you enjoy the most?
What are you missing?
What are you worried about?

“WAGMI” — we're all gonna make it — was crypto's 2021 rallying cry. But those with wealth and power knew it was a lie, and that “all” just meant them. My latest traces the last five years from hype to technoligarchy — and why they're not all gonna make it either.

We strongly condemn the deadly shooting of a Minneapolis resident by a federal immigration enforcement officer during an ICE and CBP operation. Our hearts are with the victim and their loved ones, and with the Twin Cities community that is once again being terrorized by federal immigration raids.

If reports are accurate, an ICE officer murdered a woman by shooting her in the face multiple times. They did this during an immigration crackdown ordered and escalated by the Trump regime.

(opencode i mean, well it's true for both but i assume you were asking about that more specifically. i'm a fan of what doll is doing just don't have enough time in the day to try all the things yet, it's on my list though)

Practical Collision Attack Against Long Key IDs in PGP

In response to the GPG.Fail attacks, a Hacker News user made this claim about the 64-bit "Long Key IDs" used by OpenPGP and GnuPG, while responding to an answer I gave to someone else's question: OK, to be clear, I am specifically contending that a key fingerprint does not include collisions. My proof is empirical, that no one has come up with an attack on 64 bit PGP key fingerprints.

There are many graphic videos showing the actions of ICE killing a motorist in Minneapolis, MN.

It's awful, but YOU MUST GO WITNESS THIS.

We have to be witnesses. We cannot bury our faces and hide our eyes.
This is how accountability works.
If we do not bare witness and stand up, there will never be accountability.

Strongly recommend this post on npm’s staged publishing change after supply-chain turmoil. npm will roll out staged publishing to add a review step before releases go live after the Shai-Hulud attacks, giving maintainers a chance to catch bad releases.
