<li><strong>Google shrinks quantum resistant certificates by 97 percent</strong>: To prevent post-quantum cryptography from bloating TLS handshakes, Google and Cloudflare are implementing Merkle Tree Certificates. This approach replaces massive 2.5kB quantum-resistant chains with a compact 64-byte proof of inclusion in a signed tree head. Ars Technica reports the solution is already live in Chrome, ensuring browser performance doesn’t crater when RSA eventually dies. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/8DoiZIvLO" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>India blocks Supabase access without explanation</strong>: The Indian government issued a blocking order under Section 69A of the IT Act, cutting off access to the open-source Firebase alternative for millions of developers. TechCrunch notes that India is Supabase’s fourth-largest market, and the opaque ban has left local startups scrambling for VPNs to maintain production environments. This follows a pattern of arbitrary platform blocks that threaten the region’s developer ecosystem. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/x9ggXCarx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Biopass brings multi-modal biometric login to Linux</strong>: A new open-source suite called Biopass offers a privacy-focused alternative to Windows Hello for Linux desktops, utilizing local ML inference via LibTorch. The system integrates face and fingerprint recognition with anti-spoofing measures using a C++17 PAM module and a Rust-based GUI. According to project announcements, all biometric processing remains strictly on-device to ensure user privacy. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=bhc2OnxfX&amp;id=pHqfM9sp0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Hyperscalers are treating open source registries as free CDNs</strong>: Sonatype’s CTO points out that 80% of Maven Central traffic comes from the ‘big three’ cloud providers, who essentially use community-funded infrastructure as a free lunch. These trillion-dollar companies are downloading components millions of times a month without contributing a cent to the security or maintenance of the pipes they’re clogging. It’s a classic ‘tragedy of the commons’ where the richest players are the biggest leeches. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ndB4t3RZj" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The AI productivity tool listicle that never ends</strong>: ByteByteGo is the latest to drop a ‘11 ways to use AI’ guide that suggests using NotebookLM and <a href="http://Otter.ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Otter.ai</a> as if they’re revolutionary workflow breakthroughs. We’ve reached a point where ‘productivity’ just means generating more digital noise that someone else will eventually use an AI to summarize. It’s a self-licking ice cream cone of ‘efficiency’ that mostly just increases your monthly SaaS bill. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/LgnuQrxMj" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Context graphs are the new institutional memory buzzword</strong>: Neo4j is pitching ‘context graphs’ as the solution for AI agents that need to understand ‘subjective reasoning’ and ‘affective constraints.’ While the 166% improvement in logic puzzles is cute, claiming a graph database will give an LLM ‘institutional memory’ for fuzzy human judgment is a stretch. It’s just RAG with extra steps and a more expensive license fee. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/vE9AzxujL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
