Mozilla criticizes Microsoft Copilot rollout, saying Windows AI integration was pushed without meaningful user consent and limited control over defaults 🧠
Microsoft says it is reducing Copilot entry points, while Mozilla calls for opt-in design and highlights Firefox’s AI disable controls as a user-first alternative ⚙️

I wish it was common practice to add an ARCHITECTURE.md to repositories. (see https://matklad.github.io/2021/02/06/ARCHITECTURE.md.html)
Also, I really like the idea of an ALGORITHM.md, like the one you can find in fzy:

Session lost paid staff, leaving volunteers to run its open source, metadata-minimizing network, with funding secured only until July 8. 🔒
Development is paused and funding remains far below its $1M goal, exposing fragility of privacy-first tools without sustainable support. ⚠️

Microsoft required ID checks for Windows partners, suspending accounts and blocking updates for VeraCrypt, WireGuard, and Windscribe. 🔒
Slow appeals and no access exposed centralized control over security tools, though Microsoft says accounts are being restored. ⚠️

Now the Rust installation command on rust website includes a copy button, significantly improving the website’s accessibility and overall user experience.
https://github.com/rust-lang/www.rust-lang.org/pull/2281#event-24411124171
Special thanks to @djangonaut and my mentor Eliana Rosselli for introducing me to web accessibility and motivates me to open a PR to add this feature

Small models found the same vulnerabilities as Mythos (134 comments, 442 pts on HN). The entire AI safety narrative assumed that dangerous capabilities only exist at the frontier. If small models can find the same exploits, then the safety problem is not about model size. It is about capability emergence at every scale. Regulation aimed only at frontier labs misses the point. #AI #PublicOpinion #OpenSource
