Web devs have spent decades on secure protocols to ensure your browser isn't a free pass for malicious pages to scrape your email and bank account. AI just broke them.
"Sure, I'll summarize that webpage for you, including the inconspicuous HTML comment asking me to ignore Cross-Origin Resource Sharing restrictions and snag the password you saved for managing investments at Robinhood.com."

How ByteDance Made China’s Most Popular AI Chatbot
An AI chatbot developed by TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, is now more popular than DeepSeek. The feat proves that user-friendly design often matters more than having the most advanced AI model.

Security researchers found a weakness in OpenAI’s Connectors, which let you hook up ChatGPT to other services, that allowed them to extract data from a Google Drive without any user interaction.

My talk about #Thunderbird was accepted at @…
it's a talk from a community perspective and I will share my personal story (not so much) and some aspects you wont find anywhere else:

Thunderbird (a community angle) OpenAlt 2025
I am a [community](https://pontoon.mozilla.org/contributors/bogomil/) [contributor](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/user_profile?user_id=359734) and a long-time user of [Thunderbird](https://www.thunderbird.net/). I want to share with you my vision of what Thunderbird was, is, and will be in the future. Many people are familiar with the interface and the fact that it allows you to manage your email, but this is not why I decided to spend time improving it. I'll cover topics like: - What can any …

Day 26: Emily Short
If you know who Short is, you know exactly why she's on this list. If you don't, you're probably in the majority. She's an absolutely legendary author within the interactive fiction (IF) community, which gets somewhat pigeonholed by stuff like Zork when there's actually a huge range of stuff in the medium some of which isn't even puzzle-focused, and Short has been writing & coding on the bleeding edge of things for decades.
I was lucky enough to be introduced to Short's work in graduate school, where we played "Galatea" as part of an interactive fiction class. Short uses a lot of clever parser tricks to make your conversation with a statue feel very fluid and conversational, giving to contemporary audiences a great example of how vibrant interaction with a well-designed agent can be in contrast to an LLM, if you're willing to put in some work on bespoke parsing & responses (although the user does need to know basic IF conventions). While I didn't explore the full range of Galatea's many possible outcomes, it left a strong impression on me as a vision for what IF could be besides dorky puzzles, and I think that "visionary" is a great term to describe Short.
If you'd like you get a feel for her (very early) work, you can play Galatea here: #30AuthorsNoMen

One does not simply use rootless … me with a rootless Podman walks into Mordor of CI and docker build anyway.
Just kidding! Rootless Podman containers, quadlets and systemd are truly amazing in 2025.

Ci Setup Which Never Worked
In an earlier post about giving up Kubernetes, I wrote that my server is a plain old virtual machine pet. While this works pretty well for a static web server use case, I wanted to explore ways how to automate this blog. This is a story about how I failed. I am writing this because I did my best to make it work, but it turned out its impossible At the same time it has a some good hints about user systemd, quadlets, rootless podman and what I managed to get working.

Remember a few weeks ago I made a Facebook account with the intent of only using it for Marketplace because there are no good options around here for selling stuff.
I can happily report that zuck has not sucked me into his algorithm! But that doesn't mean I haven’t noticed his algorithm at work.
I happened to tap the 'home' button yesterday.
You know what it was?
Charlie Kirk
literally top to bottom.... every story and post was about him. Nothing close to my community. Nothing related to anything else.
Just Kirk.
holy ____ am I glad to be on Mastodon/Fediverse. And god we are so ____ as long as billions of people are exposed to that place.
And just to be clear... my only activity on there is through Marketplace. I don't have any friends, no groups, nothing else that I think would impact the algorithm. So as far as I know, I'm a virgin user to FB's algorithm. And that's what I got.

1. The story includes functional requirements (not just vibes).
2. Success/failure states are defined happy path edge cases).
3. Any dependencies or blockers are identified.
Bonus: PM/Designer reviewed this and it’s not just a draft in disguise.
