Rust is special. The bincode library moved away from Github because of 'immorality', and now bans and scolds contributors who work in 'evil' industries like oil (you know, the guys who keep the lights on). Folks, it's not that hard--just keep politics out of tech.

An M.I.T. study found that 95% of companies that had invested in A.I. tools were seeing zero return. It jibes with the emerging idea that generative A.I., “in its current incarnation, simply isn’t all it’s been cracked up to be,” @JohnCassidy writes.

Since CVE's are trending (not for good reasons :) ) I just got my first CVE, in @cursor_ai -> CVE-2025-64110 The bug exploited a flaw where an attacker could bypass the existing cursorignore security rules simply by instructing the agent to create a new cursorignore file.
