Week 13, 2024: Eggs! Z?
Hello internet friends,
It's Easter week, so happy eggs to those of you who celebrate! It's also the weekend of the daylight saving time switch here in Germany, which I celebrated by staying up way too long and messing up my sleep schedule in more ways than a pesky hour ever could.
Meanwhile deep in the bowels of your computers' operating system there are many little applications and libraries that usually just work because some rando somewhere likes to keep them around. This week we learned what happened when some bad actor with a lot of patience manages to get themselves in a position of trust with one of those maintainers.
It's a pretty wild story.
Gmail is two decades years old this Monday and it hasn't changed all that much since then. It was absolutely mind-blowing back then and even though it has gone quite stale it weidly enough is still the best webmail experience out there.
Take care,
Toodles!
