🔗 Decompiled the White House’s New App
Thereallo, after spelunking inside the APK bundle for the Android version:
Has a full GPS tracking pipeline compiled in that polls every 4.5 minutes in the foreground and 9.5 minutes in the background, syncing lat/lng/accuracy/timestamp to OneSignal’s servers.
➕
Loads JavaScript from a random person’s GitHub Pages site (
lonelycpp.github.io) for YouTube embeds. If that account is compromised, arbitrary code runs in the app’s WebView. […]
➕
Is any of this illegal? Probably not. Is it what you’d expect from an official government app? Probably not either.
🔗 Scripting News: Monday, March 30, 2026
I had to say this to Claude just now. “this is exhausting. you’re driving me around in circles and saying over and over ‘this is it!’ and it never is. us humans have protections built in to avoid that kind of wasted effort.”
You know sometimes I think it’s me - but if it happens to someone like @Dave - I can rest more easily. That said - friggin’ annoying.
🔗 Bluesky leans into AI with Attie, an app for building custom feeds
Create the experience you want, and the platform custodians clearly want to make sure that customization isn’t limited to technical people. Accessibility is openness too.

🔗 Is the AT Protocol really decentralized? | Vladimir Campos
“Hosted in Europe, governed in Europe,” and their vision starts with “Eurosky exists because Europe needs technological sovereignty and democratic resilience in its digital infrastructure.” As I mentioned in a previous post, I prefer an internationalist world, but based on what they are promoting on their site, why choose a US protocol that many say is not actually decentralized?

🎥 Nobody 2, 2025 ★★
Not as good as Nobody - but then Nobody caught me out - where as Nobody 2 was - well ... Nobody 2. Colin Hanks looks so much like his Dad. Sharon Stone looked nothing like Sharon Stone - and yet was. The whole film was way better than any of Chevy's vacation movies - and the set up for the final action scene was lifted straight out of The A Team - and just as much fun.

🔗 Daring Fireball: Claude Can Now Take Control of Your Mac
The Claude Mac client itself remains a lazy Electron clunker. If Claude Code is so good I don’t get why they don’t prove it by using it to make an even halfway decent native Mac app.
I like reading release notes from developers who take the time to document changes, and I also like reading “Bug fixes and performance improvements” over and over and over again from developers who do not.
😂
🔗 Too complicated for people to understand.
Our first job is to do work that matters for people who care. It helps to follow that up with the scaffolding needed to cause cultural change, so the idea spreads.
But don’t dumb it down to reach people who don’t want to be reached in the first place.
