Akismet launched in 2005 as a web service to classify user-generated content as spam or not, quickly gaining popularity among bloggers facing spam issues.

Version 0.2.0 of the aeb43 library introduces support for parsing AEB43 files, a standard format for Spanish banks, with significant improvements.

Gentoo's official migration from Microsoft-owned GitHub to Codeberg is underway, as the Linux distribution fulfills a pledge to ditch the code shack due to "continuous attempts to force Copilot usage for our repositories." The decision was made public last month, when Gentoo confirmed it intended to migrate repository mirrors and pull request contributions to the new home. On February 16, the organization revealed it now had a presence on Codeberg, where contributions could be submitted.

Dependabot sounded the alarm on a large scale. Thousands of repositories automatically received pull requests and warnings, including a high vulnerability score and signals about possible compatibility issues. According to Valsorda, this shows that the tool mainly checks whether a dependency is present, without analyzing whether the vulnerable code is actually accessible within a project.

The admission comes after version 8.8.9 of the text editor was released on December 9. The "hardened" version verified the signature and certificate of downloaded installers during the update process. On December 27, version 8.9 was released, which dropped the use of a self-signed certificate. The project said: "Only the legitimate certificate issued by GlobalSign is now used to sign Notepad++ release binaries. We strongly recommend that users who previously installed the self-signed root certificate remove it."

After streamlining our development and delivery process, we'll ship a new Stable release every week. Endgame will now be folded into our weekly activities. This acceleration is enabled by AI automation, including a one-click experience for creating test plans from feature request issues, reducing manual steps previously required.

The reason for this is Snap - a Linux application packaging format - creates a local Trash folder for each VS Code version, one that's separate from the system-managed Trash, according to a VS Code bug report dating back to November 11, 2024. Not only that, but Snap keeps older versions of VS Code after updates, potentially multiplying the number of local Trash folders and the trashed-but-not-deleted files therein. Emptying the system Trash folder doesn't affect the local instances.

Your coding apprentice can build, at your direction, pretty much anything now. The task becomes more like conducting an orchestra than playing in it. Not all members of the orchestra want to conduct, but given that is where things are headed, I think we all need to consider it at least.
