The last two years at WWDC, Apple has felt like it’s been in a hurry. In 2024, in a hurry to catch the AI wave before it entirely passed them by. (They didn’t catch that wave–they wiped out, lost their surfboard, and may have been partially gnawed on by a shark.) Then last year it felt like it was trying to cover up its embarrassment about AI failures by rushing out a new design scheme…

The first serious breach came in Austria at the turn of the millennium, when the far-right Freedom Party entered a coalition government. Then there were mass protests and EU sanctions. Since then far-right parties have been normalised across Europe with no such response. When…

@DanielM Does Portmaster offer network inspection with deep protection against weak signals and incoming/outgoing attacks?
No. To do this they’ll need a way to intercept encrypted web traffic. Also known as HTTPS inspection. I asked about this feature (can be used for blocking ads too) on their subreddit last year and got no reply.
HTTPS interception is not recommended on this forum because…

For tennis fans who do not know how to be normal (i.e. me), rooting for Jannik Sinner is as comforting as it can get. There is an aspirational calmness in Sinner's rituals—not elaborate enough to be Nadal-like, but consistent enough to be a little Nadal-lite—that, though it can't eliminate fan neuroses, at least soothes them. He goes to the towel after making a poor error. One can count as he…
President Donald Trump’s indictments against his perceived political enemies are getting so flimsy, even he’s not sure he believes in them.
On Wednesday, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins asked Trump about the Department of Justice’s most recent target: former FBI Director James Comey, whom Trump already tried and failed to throw in jail last year. (That case was thrown out after the courts discovered…
This time last year, Senator Bernie Sanders was giving speeches in front of thousands of people, decrying what he correctly describes as an “oligarchy” that dominates American business and politics. But this year, Sanders’s most noteworthy move was sitting in a dark room by himself, asking questions to Claude. While the Senator listened intently, Claude described how companies are using…
Like last year we went to Sandy Lane Farm, sadly I mismanaged my phone and did not photgraph the Oxford Sandy and Black young pigs with white forelocks, or the lambs in the back barn, though I thought I had.
Flora is in France with Varsity and Ellie is recovering from Caving Camp so we have invited Hannah and Becca over.

Cloudflare on Wednesday rolled out EmDash, which it described as “the spiritual successor to WordPress.” The security vendor positioned EmDash as a far more secure site building tool that avoids the extensive cybersecurity problems with WordPress plugins.
But the Cloudflare claims go far beyond cybersecurity issues. The vendor is arguing that the very nature of websites in 2026 is sharply…

You might have noticed that you haven’t been hearing much about today’s spring statement – and it’s not just because a new war has kicked off in the Middle East.

Webworm gets a trauma & bereavement counselor to weigh in.
Hello, dear readers, and welcome, somehow, impossibly, to 2026. If you're reading this, you made it, and I'm proud of you. 2025 was a wild year for most everyone I know, with some towering highs and terrible lows, and I thought I'd take a little time to reflect on my own version of that here at the start of the new year. Much like last year, I'm still feeling out exactly how personal I want to…
