Let’s go for my web review for the week 2026-24. Total Reciprocity Public License Tags: tech, foss, licensing, copyright More an experiment than something I’d recommend for real. Still it shows there’s a gap we need to close in the licenses available. Let’s hope the OSI and the FSF will do strong moves toward closing this gap. https://trplfoundation.org/ Forms of Open Source Government Tags: tech, foss, governance, satire In part useful, in part satire I think. Still it gives a good idea of various governance models in FOSS communities. https://nesbitt.io/2026/06/09/forms-of-open-source-government.html Retro-Tech Parenting Tags: tech, culture, learning, parenting There’s a path to get people (children included) to get into technology with enough of the veneer of convenience to make sure it is a learning experience… While keeping it pleasurable. https://havenweb.org/2026/05/28/retro-tech.html Pokémon Go Scans Quietly Trained The Navigation Tech Now Headed Into Military Drones Tags: tech, game, surveillance, attention-economy, defense How do you like our particular brand of dystopia? That’s what you get for using proprietary data farming game I guess. https://dronexl.co/2026/06/09/pokemon-go-scans-niantic-vantor-military-drone-navigation/ The Blight Reaches Microsoft: 73 Repos Disabled in 105 Seconds Tags: tech, microsoft, github, security, supply-chain, ai, machine-learning, gpt, copilot There’s really something nasty at play. Those coding agents are clearly not insulated from the system enough and too easy to manipulate in order to exfiltrate sensitive information. https://opensourcemalware.com/blog/miasma-reaches-azure our workplace LLM mass delusion Tags: tech, ai, machine-learning, gpt, management, trust This piece asks a very profound question in fact. If you’re in a workplace where senior management allows and pushes everyone to get deluded about the real capabilities of those tools, how do you later move forward and rebuild trust? https://blog.avas.space/llm-circus/ To my students Tags: tech, learning, culture, ethics, politics, quality Very nice piece, timely and needed. Indeed, let’s hope people stick to those principles. http://ozark.hendrix.edu/~yorgey/forest/00FD/index.xml How LLMs Actually Work Tags: tech, ai, machine-learning, gpt, architecture, neural-networks A good primer on the main architecture traits of transformer models. https://www.0xkato.xyz/how-llms-actually-work/ Local-First Software Is Easier to Scale Tags: tech, performance, architecture It’s definitely easier not having to scale at all. Which is what you get when you design for local first / client side. https://elijahpotter.dev/articles/local-first-software-is-easier-to-scale Linux latency measurements and compositor tuning Tags: tech, graphics, linux, desktop, performance, debugging Interesting read, this is really tricky to measure such latency. It looks like we might have room for improvements on latency still. Curious to see if the proposed fixes will make it in kwin. https://farnoy.dev/posts/linux-latency Test-case Reducers Are Underappreciated Debugging Tools Tags: tech, tests, debugging Interesting family of testing and debugging tools indeed. I should definitely reach out to those more. https://tratt.net/laurie/blog/2026/test_case_reducers_are_underappreciated_debugging_tools.html Why Queues Don’t Fix Overload (And What To Do Instead) Tags: tech, queuing, architecture, distributed Queues are not magic. If they’re unbounded you’re in for a world of pain as load increases. https://pmbanugo.me/blog/why-queues-dont-fix-overload-and-what-to-do-instead The User Doesn’t Care - But you should Tags: tech, programming, quality Indeed, when people say “users don’t care about quality” (tests or otherwise), this is mostly folklore. As soon as something goes wrong they’ll care. https://lewiscampbell.tech/blog/260607.html The un-hateable engineering managers Tags: tech, engineering, management Sometimes, you got to deliver the bad news… It’s healthy if you feel uneasy about it though. https://newsletter.manager.dev/p/the-un-hateable-engineering-managers Bye for now!...
