The resources in the world can reach everyone in abundance, but humans are greedy and corrupt. They cling to excess and deprive others.

Anyone else remember encarta and how magical it was the first time you saw it - or am I just old?

I don't get this @claudeai, you have a desktop app that is garbage and unusable and yet still block third party apps from providing a better experience.

[Abíọ́lá إبراهيم 🇳🇬 @abiosoft]

One would think that Claude Code and Codex would showcase their agentic coding skills by having native apps on all OSes.

But no, we get half baked electron wrappers that are not even available on all platforms.

Yet we keep getting told AI can now write all the code.

You used to be able to just create a Native GUI App in 10 seconds. No Electron, no Game Engines, no Web frameworks. Just a lean fast .EXE produced in seconds. Works on any Windows machine WITHOUT Internet connection. Software Development is actually going backwards.

The M1 macbook was crazy fast when it got released, and everything opened in an instant.

Today, M4 pro would feel sluggish with the so called liquid glass.

I never asked for liquid glass, I only want a fast and reliable machine.

Hot take: this is why Apple kept their base Macs at 8GB base RAM for so long.

Same thing for iPhone.

Forced app developers to hyper-optimize for many years, leading to a leg up on Apple’s competition.

@mholt6 Awful is an understatement.
If you manage go through all those and finally get to the desktop, Copilot disruption awaits.

In November 2021, a zero-day flaw in a widely used software library called Log4j allowed hackers to take full control of compromised devices through a simple application interface. This event crossed into mainstream headlines and became known as Log4Shell. Governments and companies spent billions to patch the vulnerability, upgrade IT systems, and contain the damage.

Developers in Europe are central to maintaining the critical systems we all rely on, managing current security risks and addressing new challenges emerging in the age of AI. That’s why @github is committed to securing the digital supply chain by strengthening the open source projects that underpin the internet and the AI stack.

Through Microsoft’s new EU Security Program Commitments, we’re investing in open source security with the GitHub Secure Open Source Fund—supporting the projects that keep the internet and AI running.

The internet was on fire. 🔥
One small library affecting billions of systems.
Log4Shell was the biggest security vulnerability of all time.

Now, Log4J maintainer, Christian Grobmeier tells us what it felt like inside the flames 👉 https://t.co/sORUhKAwBz

This is how far we have come.

[Arpit Bhayani @arpit_bhayani]

why the private network addresses 192.168.*.*?

because a company used it in some early documentation, people literally copied the same while setting up their networks, and that eventually became the standard.

fascinating.

@mholt6 Gnome simply suits me better. I tried to like Plasma but never really happened.

[Abíọ́lá إبراهيم 🇳🇬 @abiosoft]

@mholt6 I normally spend forever making Plasma good enough for me, only to end up reverting to Gnome.
