I wish software would take clues from game design and have an official end or completion with a credits roll. like one day you’re using salesforce and then this appears:

I brought these gigantic Wet Ones wipes to AnthroCon. They're meant to let you clean dogs with a single wipe. I figured I'd be super sweaty, and when not having access to a shower, benefit enormously from at least being able to wipe some of the sweat off. It was pure genius

@ExWalrus @mysk_co Every interaction you perform is a data point that can be used to personalize your experience. Like reading my tweet will affect the X algorithm to show more posts like mine. What they do with this data is anyone’s guess.

UPDATE: Michael Tsai confirms that all his search queries were included in the data he requested from Apple. Every iPhone user should learn that Apple's definition of privacy is different. Think different. Visit (privacy . apple . com) and request a copy of your data.

Just for fun, I generated a 1000-character text and pasted it in the search field in the App Store. Well, the analytics captured the entire text, linked it to my ID and sent it to Apple, before even pushing "enter". Now imagine you accidentally paste something private in there🙃

@deportation_fan @mysk_co It's one thing for this information to be used in real time to provide predictive search suggestions. But why is the data saved long term?

@mysk_co Are you surprised when you type in a search box and it tries to suggest the rest of your query that it did indeed send your text to Apple? How else would it work? Or that your previous searches are saved, presumably to suggest you apps you have an interest in?

Since the way AWS employes used to act (read as: deeply caring about the customer experience) is how @CloudFlare employees currently act, here are annoyances I wish CF would change. A thread.

@AidenLogos Thank you so much for your archival work. It's very impressive how quickly you got the WWDC 26 pre-intro up on the Internet Archive. I just wanted to say that I notice and greatly appreciate your effort.

So much inconsistency in Gmail's header. Some hovers are instant, others animated. Even the background colors differ between icons.

Hey @uwukko, I am experiencing sudden crashes with the Helium browser. It crashes once or twice a day on my device. Please look into it. Device: MacBook Air M3, 16GB Helium version: Version 0.12.4.1 (Official Build, Chromium 148.0.7778.178) (arm64)

my friends and I got frustrated with accidentally calling our group chat, so I added a confirmation step to the call buttons in the mobile DM header!

@usgraphics Yep, it's definitely confusing and people have been duped. However, I maintain that your original post is factually incorrect. I believe criticism is most effective when we stick to the truth, and hope you may consider correcting your post. daringfireball.net/2025/11/softwa…

@ExWalrus Thanks but I also heard several people duped by this. So perhaps they changed it on later versions of Sequoia. Just google "Accidentally upgraded Tahoe".

If you intently click 'Update Now' for Sequoia, it will upgrade your system to Tahoe. You have to click the little (i) icon and unselect Tahoe and select Sequoia in a new dialog box. The technical term for this UI pattern is called 'we're-scumbags-and-fuck-you'.

@usgraphics I totally agree with you that the (i) button behavior is wrong and confusing. I just wanted to point out that your original post says clicking 'Update Now' for Sequoia will upgrade your system to Tahoe, which is not true.

it’s called ID because “I” is short for I and “D” is short for dentification

Your bi-monthly reminder that your one npm install away from getting pwned without the proper precautions.
TANSTACK@tan_stack

SECURITY ADVISORY — TanStack npm packages A supply-chain compromise affecting 42 @tanstack/* packages (84 versions total) was published to npm earlier today at approximately 19:20 and 19:26 UTC. Two malicious versions per package. Status: ACTIVE — packages are deprecated, npm security engaged, publish path being shut down. Severity: HIGH — payload exfiltrates AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, and Vault credentials, GitHub tokens, .npmrc contents, and SSH keys. If you installed any @tanstack/* package between 19:20 and 19:30 UTC today, treat the host as potentially compromised: • Rotate cloud, GitHub, and SSH credentials immediately • Audit cloud audit logs for the last several hours • Pin to a prior known-good version and reinstall from a clean lockfile Detection — the malicious manifest contains: "optionalDependencies": { "@tanstack/setup": "github:tanstack/router#79ac49ee..." } Any version with this entry is compromised. The payload is delivered via a git-resolved optionalDependency whose prepare script runs router_init.js (~2.3 MB, smuggled into each tarball at the package root). Unpublish is blocked by npm policy for most affected packages due to existing third-party dependents. All 84 versions are being deprecated with a SECURITY warning, and npm security has been engaged to pull tarballs at the registry level. Full technical breakdown, complete package and version list, and rolling status updates: github.com/TanStack/route… Credit to the security researcher for responsible disclosure.
