LinkedIn locks your GDPR rights behind a paywall
an hour ago
- LinkedIn tracks profile visits but requires Premium membership for users to see who visited their profile.
- The company uses visitor data to incentivize paid subscriptions, but its legality under GDPR is questionable.
- Under Article 15 GDPR, users have the right to access their personal data free of charge, but LinkedIn refuses, citing data protection concerns.
- LinkedIn's practice of selling data to users while denying free access creates a legal dilemma, as shared data should be accessible without payment.
- Tracking profile visits involves shared data between visitors and profile owners, but LinkedIn uses an opt-out rather than opt-in consent, raising legal issues.
- noyb filed a complaint with the Austrian Data Protection Authority, demanding compliance with access requests and a fine to prevent future breaches.
Why I Created phpc.tv
a day ago
- The author introduced phpc.tv, a video-sharing site for the PHP community, launched in January 2026, which quickly gathered 2,200 videos within a month.
- Motivation stemmed from nostalgia for past contributions to the PHP Quebec community and frustration with modern web issues, especially YouTube's algorithmic manipulation, ads, and centralization problems.
- Inspired by the success of phpc.social, a Mastodon-powered social media site, the author chose PeerTube to create a decentralized, ad-free, and community-focused platform.
- Goals include providing a resilient space for the PHP community as large sites decline, avoiding censorship, supporting creator crowdfunding, and fostering independent sites with shared values.
- The project emphasizes collaboration, with moderators and shared infrastructure from phpc.social, and financial support through OpenCollective, reflecting open-source community principles.
The Frog for Whom the Bell Tolls
3 hours ago
- Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru is a 1992 Game Boy game by Nintendo and Intelligent Systems, only released in Japan, often called 'Frog Game'.
- The game is connected to Link's Awakening through shared characters and sprites, and it's referenced in other Nintendo games like Paper Mario.
- Despite no official English translation, a fan patch from 2011 allows non-Japanese speakers to play, and the game is short and affordable.
- Frog Game features a unique combat system with automatic battles and controlled stat upgrades, limiting player progression to predefined paths.
- The story involves breaking a curse on frog princes, with factions of humans, frogs, and snakes, and ends with a light narrative typical of Game Boy games.
- The game includes direct Nintendo references, such as 'Nantendo Inc.,' and has been colorized by fan projects, though rumors of sharing an engine with Link's Awakening are likely false.
Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent
3 hours ago
- Google Chrome installs a 4 GB AI model (Gemini Nano) on user devices without consent, in a directory named OptGuideOnDeviceModel, triggered automatically with AI features enabled by default.
- The installation is persistent: if users delete the model file, Chrome re-downloads it unless AI features are disabled via chrome://flags or enterprise policies, with evidence from macOS and Windows systems.
- This behavior violates ePrivacy Directive Article 5(3) and GDPR principles (lawfulness, fairness, transparency), and involves deceptive design, as the visible 'AI Mode' uses cloud services, not the on-device model.
- The environmental impact is significant: a single push of the model could emit 6,000 to 60,000 tonnes of CO2e, depending on deployment scale, with additional costs for network bandwidth and storage.
- Google should implement user consent dialogs, respect deletions, document the installation transparently, and disclose environmental impacts in ESG reports, as recommended for ethical and legal compliance.

- This rollout addresses previous employee complaints about restricted access to Claude Code, which engineers preferred over Kiro, and aims to boost developer productivity.
- Amazon's partnerships with Anthropic and OpenAI are deepening, backed by billions in investments, including up to $50 billion in OpenAI and up to an additional $25 billion in Anthropic.
- While Kiro remains widely used by 83% of engineers, the company is standardizing access to external tools, viewing AI coding assistants as essential infrastructure.
Lessons for Agentic Coding: What should we do when code is cheap?
3 hours ago
- Implement to learn: Use Spec-Driven Development but improve specs by writing cheap code to surface unconsidered decisions.
- Rebuild often: Iterate and explore ideas through frequent implementation and reinvention to leverage cheap code.
- Invest in end-to-end tests: Focus on behavioral contracts that allow freedom to rebuild without breaking product functions.
- Document intent: Capture the reasoning behind decisions to guide consistent direction for you and your agent.
- Keep your specs in sync: Update spec files continuously to capture learnings and ease frequent rebuilds.
- Find the hard stuff: Identify and focus on challenging aspects like intuitive design, performance, and security for value creation.
- Automate everything that's easy: Minimize time on easy tasks by automating them to spend more on hard work, but avoid overcomplication.
- Develop your taste: Rely on your own feedback and domain knowledge when code is fast, but feedback is slow.
- Agents amplify experience: Use technical expertise and intuition in prompts to save cycles and reduce unnecessary agent exploration.
- Code is cheap, but maintenance, support, and security aren't: Build quickly while being mindful of long-term responsibilities and costs.
Async Rust never left the MVP state
3 hours ago
- Async Rust has binary size issues, especially on microcontrollers where every byte counts, due to bloat in generated futures.
- The compiler generates excessive MIR for async functions, even for simple ones without await points, leading to unnecessary state machines.
- Proposed optimizations include eliminating panics in the Returned state, removing state machines for futures with no await points, inlining futures, and collapsing identical states.
- Testing shows potential improvements: 2-5% binary size reduction by removing panics, 0.2% by eliminating state machines for no-await futures, and performance gains with future inlining.
- The author has submitted a Project Goal and seeks funding (€30k estimated) to implement these compiler optimizations.
Nocturnal migratory birds follow rhythm of the moon
2 days ago
- Moonlight affects red-necked nightjar's hunting: they hunt insects during full moon nights and rely on dusk/dawn when dark.
- Nightjars slow down and lower body temperature to conserve energy on dark nights, a rare hibernation-like strategy in birds.
- Full moon triggers increased food intake and energy buildup, enabling preparation for migration, which starts about two weeks after full moon.
- Moon's rhythm influences breeding: eggs are timed for chicks to hatch when nocturnal insect supply peaks for survival.
- Nocturnal animals are vulnerable to light changes; light pollution and climate change can disrupt life cycles and energy balance.
18th-century mechanical volcano roars to life 250 years later
3 days ago

A Simpler Parametrization for Modern Optimizers
21 hours ago
- Modern normalized optimizers can be formulated as stochastic optimization on a product of RMS spheres, where each block's radius is fixed by initialization.
- Weight decay emerges naturally as a radial Lagrange multiplier to maintain the RMS constraint, eliminating the need for manual scheduling as a penalty.
- A single global direction half-life parameter (h) governs weight-direction retention, replacing traditional learning rates, weight decay schedules, and clipping thresholds.
- Spherical updates preserve block radii automatically using a retention-based angular step, with step size derived from the half-life and count increments.
- Momentum retention can be tied to weight-direction retention by default, simplifying the algorithm, though it can be untied if needed for different timescales.

Gaps in national food production, worldwide
21 hours ago
- The study analyzes the gap between domestic food production and dietary needs across seven food groups, using FAO data and WWF's Livewell diet.
- Over one-third of countries cannot achieve self-sufficiency in more than two food groups. Only one country, Guyana, is self-sufficient in all seven groups, while six countries meet none.
- Low self-sufficiency is particularly acute for vegetables, fish, and dairy, with regional disparities across Africa, the Caribbean, and Europe. Trade dependency increases vulnerability to supply shocks, especially for small states.
