I am in an abusive relationship with the technology industry

You simply cannot breathe without seeing, hearing, or engaging in any kind of technical conversation about AI. AI has dominated the Zeitgeist so catastrophically that the only way to escape is to turn off the WiFi and delete all the apps.

i do miss having convos that don’t inevitably turn to AI

A GitHub Issue Title Compromised 4,000 Developer Machines

A GitHub Issue Title Compromised 4,000 Developer Machines

A prompt injection in a GitHub issue triggered a chain reaction that ended with 4,000 developers getting OpenClaw installed without consent. The attack composes well-understood vulnerabilities into something new: one AI tool bootstrapping another.

my friend @vertedin.de brought me some FANCY beans from one of my favorite coffee shops in Japan so i had to bust out the pour over dripper for the first time in ages

A small bag of white honey process Costa Rica Geisha coffee beans from LiLo Coffee Roaster: León Cortés Tarrazú from San Antonio Rodolfo Rivera. The bag is decorated with art of various fruits like peaches, pomegranates, citrus wedges, blueberries, and more. Held along with the bag is a small card detailing the coffee as high acidity and light body, with the following flavor notes: "A burst of white peach and cranberry, blending tartness and sweetness, fills your palate. As you continue to sip, refreshing muscat flavors gently unfold. A silky white wine mouthfeel complemented by a lingering, honey-like sweetness."

The bag of coffee and flavor card next to a pour-over dripper set on a glass carafe and cofee scale as it finishes brewing

when you realize that nobody in the coffee shop cares if you come in wearing your house sweatpants… only then can you truly be free

finally watched the trailer for Pokémon Wind/Waves and i guess i feel… hopeful? incredibly cautiously hopeful, but hopeful nonetheless. hard to hold my breath because i think these games have consistently looked bad since Sword/Shield but if the new gen actually looks like the trailer, i’ll be happy

cool, 1Password just got 33% more expensive for me, but that’s ok! it has “AI-powered item naming” now!

Hi David Celis,

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 powerful 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
• AI-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 Individual plans, starting March 27, 2026.

Current vs New Pricing:

Current price: $35.88 USD / year
New price: $47.88 USD / year

The new price will take effect at your next renewal, provided it’s on or after March 27, 2026. Those occurring prior to March 27, 2026, will continue at the current pricing until your next renewal.

If you have any questions, please reach out to support by replying to this email. We’re deeply grateful for your continued trust and support.

Thank you,
The 1Password Team
