„..Meta zahlt also Geld an Maschinisten, die mithilfe von KI-Software Tag & Nacht Unmengen grafischer Dateien in FB hineinpumpen, mit dem einzigen Ziel, reflexhafte Klicks der Nutzerinnen & Nutzer zu provozieren. Denn wer klickt (…) dessen Augäpfel kann man mit bezahlten Werbeanzeigen bewerfen.“

"Dead Internet Theory": Da ist aber was los im Zombie-Internet

Das grelle, langweilige, faszinierende Internet ist irgendwie tot. Denn offenbar gibt es dort kaum noch Homo sapiens. Und das ist der wirklich beste Dad-Joke seit Langem.

To implement robust mitigations across Geomys, I did a survey of open source project compromises in 2024/2025.

Three root causes dominate: phishing, control handoff, and unsafe GitHub Actions triggers. All three can be systematically avoided.

I don't think there currently is a winner, nor will there necessarily have to be a *winner* at all.

It's not a zero-sum game. 😅

Die Gruppe bezeichnet sich also als „woke“?!

Aus dem Artikel:

Aber auch: die "Rote Pille". Was bei Keanu Reeves in dem Hollywoodfilm Matrix der Schlüssel zur Erkenntnis in einer von Maschinen beherrschten Welt ist, funktioniert in rechtsextremen Kreisen als Chiffre einer Gruppe, die sich selbst als "aufgewacht" bezeichnet.

Are you still using Flyway?

If not, what are you using to manage and execute database migrations (if at all)?

I'm surprised that there wasn't more noise around the license change of #Liquibase from Apache License 2.0 to Functional Source License (FSL) in Liquibase 5.0.0.

Why I Choose Email Over Messaging

My colleagues and friends know that I prefer to communicate with them via email rather than chat messaging. There are many benefits in such a choice. You may want to consider them and adopt the same stance.

EqualsVerifier 4.2 is out!

It has prefab values for Java 25's ScopedValues, but the main attraction is that support for #Kotlin delegates is greatly improved! They're now much easier to work with, and also error messages are much clearer.
