So @1password seems to think that now’s a good time to increase prices by 20%. What’s happening and did no one on their team tell them to read the room with @scottgal, Rutger Bregmann, or @pluralistic? Thank you for making the decision for me, #1Password. Another US-based subscription cancelled.

Screenshot of an email from 1Password:

“Hi Florian Weber,
Since 2005, 1Password has been on a mission to make security simple, reliable, and accessible for everyone. As the way people work and live online has evolved, so has 1Password.
More recently, we've invested significantly in new features that make 1Password even more powertul and effortless to use, helping protect what matters most to you, including:
• Automatic saving of logins and payment details
• Enhanced Watchtower alerts
• Faster, more secure device setup
• Al-powered item naming
• Expanded recovery options
• Proactive phishing prevention

While 1Password has grown substantially in value and capability, our pricing has remained largely unchanged for many years. To continue investing in innovation and the world-class security you expect, we're updating pricing for Family plans, starting March 27, 2026.

Current vs New Pricing:
Current price: $59.88 USD / year
New price: $71.88 USD / year”

Oh the irony... 🥲 #GitHub announces a new tool to detect generated #AI slop in your issues and comments using LLMs. via github.blog/changelog/2025-09-05-gi…

Screenshot of the GitHub Blog, featuring:

"Two GitHub Actions are now available to help open source
maintainers using the GitHub Models inference API:
• Al moderator: Scan new issues and comments with Al for spam, link spam, or Al-generated content. You can auto-label and optionally minimize them, with support for custom prompts."
