Rapidly advancing AI tools have created investor uncertainty and fear around the SaaS business model and the private equity and credit built on top of it (Bloomberg)

So here's the next step in the ongoing enshittification process...
software already comes as a subscription model,
and now hardware is moving in the same direction.
Pretty soon we won't be able to own anything

Abstract: Many existing time-series Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (TS-InSAR) software tools have limitations, including restricted geographic applicability, commercial licensing, and incomplete end-to-end processing support. Although GMTSAR avoids some of these constraints, it still requires substantial manual intervention and C-shell commands, lacks a user-friendly graphical interface, and omits important steps such as interferogram network pruning and anchoring of unwrapped interferograms. This paper introduces DefoEye (v1), an open-source Python-based software package that wraps GMTSAR and provides a unified, user-friendly TS-InSAR workflow for Sentinel-1 data. DefoEye supports parallel job execution, interferogram network pruning, and multiple anchoring options. Its performance was evaluated from 2020 to 2024 in four regions with different geological settings, deformation mechanisms, and atmospheric and climatic conditions. In Bologna, Italy; Gotland, Sweden; and Houston, USA, DefoEye results were compared with observations from 10 GNSS stations and showed strong agreement, with RMSE values of 4.3-11.9 mm and Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.63-0.95. In Karaj, Iran, where GNSS observations were unavailable, DefoEye was compared with other widely used processing tools and achieved similarly close agreement, with an RMSE of 4.8 mm/yr and a Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.98. These results demonstrate that DefoEye provides reliable TS-InSAR products for geological, hydrological, and environmental applications.

Of course Vivaldi got updated once I posted my updates 😂
Well, technically it's still Wednesday here , so Vivaldi 8.0.4033.54 is up for grabs 🤓

#AI is a zombie virus.
There were so many #FreeSoftware projects that were dead and buried with honors, or at least on life support. It was unfortunate. Sometimes it involved a lot of downstream scaffolding to keep everything working. But at least we had warm memories of them and respect to their authors.
And now slop virus is taking them over, one after another. It's pulling them out of their graves or hospital beds, deformed and mutilated. All the warmth is gone. They have no purpose anymore, beyond feeding.
Sometimes this is done by kids who don't understand the first thing about the project they're defiling, who just want to get credit for something important. However, more often this is done by their original maintainers, who not only don't seem to realize their prime time is over, but who are many years detached from honest software development work.

If you have no deep experience in making software (all the way from product research, to UX design to programming and solid knowledge of human-computer interaction, etc.) and in leading programmers your vibe-coded app will simply be a useless pile of garbage that will slowly rot in a repository that no one ever uses (including you) and just stink up the Internet.
If you do have that deep experience and knowledge LLM-assisted software development is just one of many tools that can be useful (it may or may not be depending on specific circumstances).
The successful uses I’ve seen first-hand are mainly for prototyping and for bug fixes/security issues; both of which require years of experience and expertise.

SwiftTerm recently got Kitty clipboard, completed Kitty graphics support, and in this logarithmic table, it shows the progress so far.
