From vibe coded ditros blog post by DHH:

DigitalOcean joins as a Founding Corporate Patron with $3 million

DigitalOcean is joining the Omacom Foundation as a Founding Corporate Patron, contributing $1 million a year for three years! That’s a $3 million commitment to the development, maintenance, and spread of Omarchy. What an incredible vote of confidence in the beautiful, fun & agentic OS we’re building.

this is your weekly reminder that no matter what Slop and AI companies says, human written code is far better than stupid AI generated security reports.

Curl is also the most secure codebase I've seen. I tried
to hunt for vulnerabilities in it (having reviewed the
slop report collection for fun) and got zero hits. Maybe
some borderline documented behavior, but nothing
with any reasonable security impact. So I probably did
it right. But on almost every codebase I've reviewed
extensively in the past, including glibc, I've found at
least one issue with a security impact. Curl is the only
one which I've found completely clean as far as I could
see. I think the bounty program has been largely
beneficial to curl over the years and has overall
contributed positively to the project's security, despite
the recent downtrend. Keep it up

story of AI batshit crazy Microslop in two pictures 🤣 they missed browser and mobile devices era and now they started force feeding the AI slop to everyone thinking that it will be the chance of lifetime but guess what? it backfired. i am surprised it is only down 31%.

the first image on left side is a classic meme of a girl labeled microsoft force feeding milk from a bottle to another girl on the floor labeled everybody. the milk bottle is labeled copilot and she is holding the girls hair. this indicate microsoft going all crazy with AI ...

the second screenshot (right side) of microsofts stock price showing a big red downward trend over 6 months. the price is 356.77 and it says its down 31% percent which is a pretty big drop for the company bullish on AI but market failed to impress so far and investors are dumping stock as AI promise and increased usage of AI and Ads inside paid products causing more issues than doing anything else.

The new Mozilla CEO says he could block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that it would bring in another $150 million, but he doesn't want to do that. Lmao. This guy has really lost the plot. Is he issuing threats to the users of an open source project? Boy, what a disaster

Is Mozilla trying hard to kill itself?

17 de dezembro de 2025

In an interview with “The Verge”, the new Mozilla CEO, Enzor-DeMeo, IMHO hints that axing adblockers is something that, at the very least, was on the table in some form and at some point. From the article:

"He says he could begin to block ad blockers in Firefox and estimates that’d bring in another $150 million, but he doesn’t want to do that. It feels off-mission."

It may be just me, but I read this as “I don't want to 😜 😜 but I'll kill AdBlockers in Firefox for buckerinos 😂”. This disappoints and saddens me a lot, and I hope I'm wrong.
