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.

In today's episode of "AI is Going Just Great":

And every piece of hardware I have just works, including the Switch Pro Controller I use for PC gaming.

I know that nowadays this is not such a big deal anymore, but as someone who first installed #linux in 1997 (Red Hat 4.2), it's still a bit crazy to me that I can just set up a desktop, install Steam, download a game from my library, and start playing.

If the SteamDeck has shown me anything it's that gaming on Linux is actually a pretty good experience nowadays.

I started watching The Tatami Galaxy. It's quite unlike any other #anime I ever watched, but I liked it a lot. Seems like this one might live up to its great reputation.

OMG, the Seahawks did it! What a game by the "Dark Side" defense and Kenneth Walker III's running game was 🔥. Amazing what Mike Macdonald achieved in such a short time as head coach.

Kudos to the Patriots and Mike Vrabel for an amazing season too.

Finished my first playthrough of the Resident Evil 2 remake as Leon. Still as intense as I remember the original being in 1998. I may need a day or two of Dave the Diver before I do the Claire run.

My wife told the dog that “daddy is coming home.” He got a bit excited, so worke her up at 1:26 AM wondering if it’s time to go to the airport. ❤️

Is The Tetris Company going to celebrate what should be "Tetris Month"?

In February 2026, the four weeks are lined up perfectly as four lines - which is exactly what a Tetris is!

The last time this happened was in 2015, and the next two times will be in 2037 and 2043.

So, the people who say they need to have guns to fight off tyrannical governments are OK with a tyrannical government shooting a citizen who legally carried a registered firearm? That’s Olympics-level mental gymnastics.

Who's going to Super Bowl LX? That's right, the Seahawks are! 🎉 What a game, well worth the early start at 6:30 AM for me.
