New blog post on leapps.org: how to write an artifact module for iLEAPP (and ALEAPP, RLEAPP, and VLEAPP — same process, different repo).

A module is one Python file. The framework handles the rest. The guide covers structure, SQLite and plist parsing, timestamps, LAVA conversation view, and a full working example you can copy and adapt.

                                  Where does militarisation of consumer tech lead us?

                                  Over the last few years, you see more and more cases of 3D printed weapons and drones being built by Ukrainian wives on kitchen tables.

                                  Historically, military tech has often trickled down to the consumer. Nowadays, consumer tech has become so advanced that it seems to be trickling upward to the military.

                                  This brings up the question: how accessible has militarisation of consumer tech become?

                                  Over the past 4 months I've been exploring this question by recreating a ukrainian FPV drone myself (as a non techy) and talking to some amazing people in this space @voorstad😉.

                                  So, where do you think this will lead us? Anarchy or equality? Curious to hear your thoughts!

I also created a separate function to handle the Markdown validation logic, and call it before prompting for the description, to give immediate feedback, and rewrote the error messages to be clearer, more organized.

Lately, I've noticed it's sometimes hard for me to release things as open source. Almost everything I do is meant for the common good, but every now and then I get hit with a wave of anxiety. It goes back to at least three times in the past when I shared something with good intentions and ended up facing a public hate campaign for it. When you've been burned a few times, it's only natural to hesitate before putting your hand back in the fire.

                                                                                      I start to question things - is privacy handled properly, is my vision right, what if people reject it, what will they think about AI being involved... The more doubts I have, the less I feel like publishing my private repo. It's ironic because I've even given lectures on open source, yet I completely understand why some people fear it. It's not always fun. In fact, it can feel like putting yourself on display for judgment.

                                                                                      I'm learning to take it easier, reminding myself that I don't have to release everything. I don't need to explain myself all the time. I'm allowed to keep a few gems just for myself.

That's it. That's what you signed up for.

                                                                                                                                                Genau deshalb möchte ich heute auf die Seite hinweisen:

Ich nutze F-Droid selbst schon länger und schätze die Möglichkeit, freie und quelloffene Android-Apps unabhängig von großen Konzernen zu beziehen.

                                                                                                                                                Die geplanten Änderungen rund um die verpflichtende Entwickler-Registrierung könnten alternative App-Stores und unabhängige Entwickler massiv unter Druck setzen. Viele Organisationen aus dem Bereich Open Source, Datenschutz und digitale Freiheitsrechte warnen bereits davor.

                                                                                                                                                Wer Android als offenes System erhalten möchte, sollte sich das Thema einmal genauer anschauen.

It is about 5 to 10x faster than PyYAML’s C loader! 🚀

As agents take on longer-running tasks across multiple systems, the problems companies keep hitting — shared context and coordination — are ones distributed systems engineers would recognise immediately.

National security – The US has tech powers of sanction which can be used to stop a US company from supplying services.

Economic – The UK government exposes itself to vendor lock-in when contracting for proprietary software, resulting in inflated costs and the extraction of value from the UK economy.

Tech policy capture – Big Tech has used its outsized power and resources to control markets, limit innovation, curb regulation and lobby Government.
