Yesterday I needed to record 60 minutes of footage with my Logitech webcam connected to the M4 iPad Pro.

"Great", I thought, "I'll use Camo Studio". (Which is a really nice app.)

But because I chose the Files app as a destination to save the video...I'll let you guess what happened at the end.

I lost the entire recording.

(For context: this never happened with Photos as a destination.)

Speaking of Apple's worst app ever made:

Now Files thinks that a Markdown document is...something I can open with the RetroArch emulator.

Things are going just great over here in the Files app y'all.

For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.

From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.

Copilot+ Recall has been enabled by default globally in Microsoft Intune managed users, for businesses.

You need to enable DisableAIDataAnalysis to switch it off. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/manage-recall

.@geerlingguy made a video that I think covers 'open source companies' better than most: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hNcBk6cwim8

Some things I'd like to add:

  • A lack of CLAs don't protect against permissive licenses being swapped out
  • Please don't berate maintainers for using CLAs (as long as they're clear and upfront about it). Just don't contribute
  • I'd wager most bait-and-switch or rug-pull scenarios are 'suits' seizing an opportunity rather than long-going strategies
  • "Freeloaders are part of OSS" ❤️

IBM buying Hashicorp truly is the final nail in that coffin.
for the win, I guess!
It does make me wonder if all this will have a chilling effect on new open-source adoption where projects are not affiliated with an umbrella like the Linux Foundation or the Apache Foundation or whoever.

h/t @Meyerweb

A TikTok reaction video that has had some text overlayed. A person (labelled "me watching React devs") watches someone else's hand put a series of shaped blocks into shaped holes. The holes and shapes are all basic and recognizable: square, triangle, circle, etc. The holes are labelled after HTML elements: "div", "button", "li", "table", "input" and "a". The hand takes a square block, which is labelled "generic block content"; The person excitedly says "square hole" (which is labelled "div") and is excited when that's where it goes. The hand then picks up a longer square block (labelled "element group"); the person also gets this one correct (also goes in the div hole), and is excited. The hand then picks up "tabular data"; the person wants it to go in the "table" hole, but no, the hand says it goes in the "div" hole as well. Person gets increasingly upset as blocks labelled "list item", "perform an action", "user input", and ultimately, "a hyperlink" all go in the "div" hole, and not the more appropriately shaped holes/elements that they are correctly calling out, each time, at the end – when "a hyperlink" goes into the "div" hole instead of into the "a" hole – almost though tears.

If you're asked to sign a CLA and/or copyright assignment before contributing to a FOSS project, refuse, and make a hard fork of the project instead.

Take direct action for free software.

When it comes to IPO I'm... cautiously neutral on the side of sceptical? Something like that? It might cause some good short term results (more money from stakeholders = better products) and it might cause total enshittification in the long term. But it's not that "a little nonprofit company sold out to the big guys", it's much more complicated than that. We'll see. @geerlingguy made a great summary of the current and possible future situation of Raspberry Pi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrhE6MnGi1A
