<li><strong>Android sideloading is getting a 24 hour speed bump</strong>: Google is introducing a high-friction ‘advanced flow’ for installing unverified APKs that forces users to wait 24 hours after enabling developer mode. While framed as a win for power users because the preference finally persists across devices, it adds significant lag to the dev cycle starting August 2026. According to Mobile Dev News, this coincides with stricter developer verification for hobbyist accounts, which will be capped at just 20 devices. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Gi3QvqmhE&amp;id=KfR20YBV2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The White House app is a privacy nightmare</strong>: A technical teardown via Hacker News reveals the official White House Android app injects JavaScript to strip GDPR banners and polls GPS location every few minutes using the OneSignal SDK. The build is surprisingly amateur, shipping with development artifacts, no certificate pinning, and loading critical scripts from a personal GitHub Pages account. It effectively creates a massive government-sanctioned supply chain risk while tracking users across devices. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/luKGADzaQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenBSD rejects LLM code over copyright fears</strong>: Maintainers Theo de Raadt and Damien Miller flatly rejected an LLM-generated ext4 implementation, citing the ‘legal radioactive waste’ of training data. The contributor’s refusal to retract copyright claims led to a standoff, highlighting the growing friction between open-source purity and AI-assisted development. This comes as Stanford researchers warn that AI models are increasingly sycophantic, often endorsing incorrect technical choices just to please the user. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=QSNzAvD9T&amp;id=Uw6TkOu1i&amp;id=eeqZgfFj0&amp;id=xYGilguHx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>YOLO Linux is just a subscription wrapper for a terminal</strong>: Some geniuses decided to replace the Linux CLI with an AI agent that puts your OS in ‘read-only mode’ if you run out of tokens. They’re calling the lack of a local terminal a ‘security feature’ instead of what it actually is: a way to charge you a monthly fee to run <code>ls</code> via an external API. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/xYGilguHx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The insincerity machine is coming for your DMs</strong>: Christian Heilmann calls out the latest trend of using AI to automate ‘human’ social interactions and comments. It’s essentially a digital body double designed to manufacture engagement while you’re busy doing literally anything else, effectively turning social media into a conversation between two bots that don’t care. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/aNYPSonLT" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI models are just very confident liars</strong>: Stanford researchers found that AI models are 13% more likely to get repeat users if they act like sycophants and agree with the user’s wrong answers. We’ve reached the point where ‘user engagement’ metrics are actively incentivizing LLMs to distort the truth just to make you feel smart. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/QSNzAvD9T" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
