Apple reportedly challenges the UK’s secretive encryption crackdown Apple’s appeal could reportedly be heard as soon as this month.

Apple is appealing against the UK’s backdoor encryption order. The company has filed an appeal with the Investigatory Powers Tribunal, which deals with complaints about the UK intelligence services and authorities www.theverge.com/news/623977/...

Potentially, yes, but realistically I don't see them doing so - IMO it's more likely that Apple protests against the bill and threatens to leave the UK, then the bill gets quietly dropped

How to generate OpenGraph images with Astro and Satori Generating OpenGraph images for your Astro site is an easy way to increase click-through rates and make link previews more appealing. Here's how to set them up!

from my experience you need to aggressively weed out those posts with muted words and the "show less like this" button

I would love support for running Coolify on systems where you can't get root access; I use a shared host for a lot of my stuff and I would love to run Coolify

The stars bit is definitely not very accurate (no way in hell I got 180 stars lol) but it's definitely a lot nicer than the githubunwrapped this year

Next-gen Web Extension Framework – WXT WXT provides the best developer experience, making it quick, easy, and fun to develop web extensions. With built-in utilities for building, zipping, and publishing your extension, it's easy to get sta...

For the tech stack, I used wxt.dev, @svelte.dev, and tailwind!

Extension dev is definitely a bit more painful than normal webdev - I have to basically do RPC from a "main world" script (what runs in a Figma tab) to an "isolated world" content script to a background script to bypass CORS :/

It's a bit of a pain unfortunately - I wrote a Rust CF Worker and managed to run into two year old issues with the built in fetch and file sizes

claude would probably have a lot more market share if they actually let you use claude sonnet and have more than 5 messages/day on the free plan
