Congrats to to the Wiz team. Wiz is amazing. But, ugh, joining Google will result in less competition and all that entails. Not great for customers.

It's a pity going public isn't worth it anymore.

The system working as intended.

dlev_pika commented on After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes   arstechnica.com/ai/2026/0... · Posted by u/ndr42

A few days ago, after some very weird failed purchase attempts I made (payment couldn’t be validated or Smth) I received an even weirder mail from Amazon saying they had detected suspicious activity, all my devices got logged out and I was forced to change my password. I did it, after verifying it was a legit email (even if it looked sketchy af, pure text, unstyled, but sender verified and confirmed with in-app behavior), and next I know all my orders and browsing history had disappeared - +15 yrs of history, done.

Over the next few days my account history came back, except purchases made Q1 2026. Those are still missing. There are a few substantial purchases I made that are nowhere to be found anymore.

I attributed this Iranian missiles hitting some of their infrastructure in EU, as it had been reported.

Now I am not sure if it was blast radius from missiles or AI mishaps. Lmao - couldn’t happen to a worse company…

Ya know, I just spun up a version of a user-driven exploration game, as an homage to the sf0.org from back in the aughts. https://irl2-production.up.railway.app/

Google auth still not hooked up, but otherwise good enough for now. And it's open source.

TikTok and other social media apps' business models are antithetical to privacy.
dlev_pika · 8 days ago
Their whole model predicates on the lack of privacy, so it’s crazy to expect anything else.

lol

It makes sense - they extract every possible bit of personal information from your device - why would they make you believe they care about your privacy?

You want to communicate privately? TikTok is not the place, and that’s ok. shrugs
