  • 🎉 Coder Radio on the Podcastindex.org — Boost from the Web. Once you have Alby topped off, you can Boost from our page on the Podcast Index.
  • Tesla hackers turn to voltage glitching to unlock features — Instead of approaching the problem like Tesla hackers of the past, who've tried to gain control of vehicles or break into them as an outsider, Christian Werling and his fellow researchers wanted to approach the problem like someone who already had physical access to a vehicle and was trying to make their own modifications – like breaking through soft locks on optional, but installed, features.
  • Apple already shipped attestation on the web — Google isn't the first to think of this, but in fact they're not even the first to ship it. Apple already developed & deployed an extremely similar system last year, now integrated into MacOS 13, iOS 16 & Safari, called "Private Access Tokens".
  • Zoom can now train its A.I. using some customer data — Zoom's terms of service update establishes the video platform's right to use some customer data for training its AI models.
  • Gabor Gurbacs on Twitter — New Zoom Terms of Service (10.2) stipulate that you as a user consent to allow AI to train on and use all of your data, including video, audio, facial, biometric data, etc...
  • ChatGPT is putting Stack Overflow out of business traffic is down over 50% — ChatGPT has been crushing Stack Overflow. To combat ChatGPT they announced their own AI "OverflowAI" which includes AI-enhanced search to attract users back.
  • Venture-backed startups are failing at record rates — In the first half of 2023, 338 U.S. companies filed for bankruptcy protection, according to newly released S&P Global Market Intelligence data, including 54 companies with private equity or venture capital backing. At that rate, 108 VC-backed startups will fail by year’s end, besting the 95 that failed during 2010.
  • Coming soon: Fedora for Apple Silicon Macs! — Fedora Asahi Remix will provide a polished experience for Workstation and Server use-cases on Apple Silicon systems. The Asahi Linux project has also announced that the new Asahi Linux flagship distribution will be Fedora Asahi Remix.
  • ChromeOS is splitting the browser from the OS — The project is called "Lacros," which Google says stands for "Linux And ChRome OS." This will split ChromeOS's Linux OS from the Chrome browser, allowing Google to update each one independently.
  • Funding Developers With Lightning — PkgZap gives a way for NodeJS developers to easily fund the packages they're relying upon for their project.
  • Alby | pkgzap — Value4Value payments for npm (and other package managers)
  • Serving at the Pleasure of the King — But as a software developer, I am deeply ambivalent about an Apple dominated future. Apple isn't shy about cultivating the experience around their new iOS products and the App Store. There are unusually strict, often mysterious rules around what software developers can and cannot do — at least if they want entry into the App Store. And once you're in, the rules can and will change at any time.

  • Mike's eGPU Goodness
  • Moving on from Rails and what’s next — A lot has happened during that time. I created Diesel, an ORM for Rust. In April of last year, I began managing the operations of crates.io, which eventually led to the creation of the crates.io team which I co-lead. I also started to find myself less able to effectively contribute to Rails. It became clear that I have a different vision for the future, and that I would never make it onto the core team.
  • Learn more programming languages, even if you won't use them — By learning a new language, even if it stays in your toolbox for all eternity, you gain a new perspective and a different way of thinking about problems.
  • WLinux's New Name — Hayden Barnes, of Whitewater Foundry, told El Reg that WLinux was only ever supposed to be a codename, and the new name "reflects our distribution's connection to both Linux and Windows". He added "it is close to the Japanese pronunciation and transliteration of penguin, which is pengin." Japan remains the company's top market.
  • Pengwin by Whitewater Foundry — Pengwin is the easiest to use Linux distribution on Windows Subsystem for Linux.
  • HTTP Prompt - An Interactive Command Line HTTP Client — HTTP Prompt (or HTTP-prompt) is an interactive command-line HTTP client built on HTTPie and prompt_toolkit, featuring autocomplete and syntax highlighting.
  • Linux Academy Limited Time Sale!
  • LINUX Unplugged Episode 296: Defining Desktop Linux — The way we’ve been thinking about Desktop Linux is all wrong. We start by defining Desktop Linux, and where it might be going in the future.
