Tesla Spyware

from Matt Mullenweg [alt+shift+b] in technology

BM Snaps

Burning Man really tests my mantra, “There’s no bad weather, only bad clothing.” But it’s true! For one week, it’s the most interesting art and technology playground in the world, creativity unbound.

I deleted my favorite feature, and the image got better: Direct Binary Search (DBS) in OpenDithering

When I created OpenDithering back in June, the feature I was proudest of was the Auto-tune button. It did the slider work for me: it compared the dithered result to the original image, nudged the settings, and repeated until the image stopped improving. Over the summer it grew into a three-step process (Auto Expose, Color-tune, […] The post I deleted my favorite feature, and the image got better: Direct Binary Search (DBS) in OpenDithering appeared first on Style over Substance.

You Won’t Hear About These, Even In Myths (Atlassian Jira, Confluence (and more) Pre-Auth Arbitrary File Read CVE-2026-21589)

Welcome back to yet another episode of "security was taken seriously". Being who we are (and constantly being exposed to what we see…), we recognize we have been doomed to eternal damnation as we keep on watching security best practices crumble behind “secure by design”
