One of the clearest presentations at yesterday's #OnlineSafetyAct event was by @jim, of the @openrightsgroup.

In four or so slides, Jim neatly outlined some of the key problems with the OSA and - most helpfully - suggested some solutions.

As part of the investigation, I have looked closely at Telegram's protocol and analyzed packet captures provided by IStories.

I have also done some packet captures of my own.

I dive into the nitty-gritty technical details of what I found and how I found it on my blog:

Telegram is indistinguishable from an FSB honeypot

A new generation is going to learn that putting strong UI elements behind text is a lot harder to get right than you first think.

vAmigaWeb is an Amiga emulator for web browsers or as a progressive web app. The new version is now based on the core of vAmiga 4.2. In addition, file exchange between Amiga and host computer is now only possible via ZIP archive. In principle, you no longer need HDF files, as file exchange via ZIP archive is much easier and you don't need any extra tools to read HDF files.

Ah… I just saw the design for the new iOS… I wish I hadn't

@mcc why is #Vista trending… oh.

@nixCraft I don't understand why anyone would want learn an LLM-approximation of a language instead of the language itself?

And why the CEO can't see that?

Not criticizing Apple, I'm happy about this outcome, but this seems to be the point at which Apple just gave up on a lot of things and just did the obvious thing.

Instead of Apple Intelligence, they're now all-in on integrating ChatGPT, and instead of Stage Manager, they just moved over the Mac's windowing and menu bar. #wwdc #wwdc2025

I love how Liquid Glass advocates for accessibility. Now everyone can experience what it feels like if you can’t read shit. #wwdc25
