<li><strong>White House Android app caught tracking users and stripping privacy banners</strong>: A technical deconstruction of the official White House app revealed it injects JavaScript to bypass GDPR and cookie consent banners while polling GPS location every few minutes via the OneSignal SDK. The app also presents significant supply chain risks by loading code from personal GitHub Pages and relying on unvetted third-party CDNs like Truth Social. According to reports on Hacker News, the build even ships with development artifacts and lacks basic certificate pinning. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/luKGADzaQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Wine 11 and Kali Linux 2026.1 deliver major Linux desktop updates</strong>: Wine 11 has introduced a massive NTSYNC kernel-level synchronization rewrite that significantly boosts gaming and high-performance application threading on Linux. Meanwhile, Kali Linux 2026.1 has launched with a 20th-anniversary nostalgia mode and an updated undercover mode that disguises the OS as Windows 11 to evade casual observation. These releases, covered by The Miners and Phoronix, also include eight new red-teaming tools and support for the latest systemd environment variables. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=pNy5xKg0N&amp;id=f8p5k8N1i&amp;id=4v1VdADH1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Integer overflow in TLS parser enables certificate validation bypass</strong>: A critical CWE-190 vulnerability was discovered in a widely used open-source Java/Kotlin TLS library’s ASN.1 DER parser. By exploiting a lack of overflow protection in 64-bit Long shifts, attackers can spoof Object Identifiers (OIDs) to make rogue certificates appear trusted. InfoSec Write-ups notes that this flaw effectively enables Man-in-the-Middle attacks by silently truncating oversized OIDs during the handshake process. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/DT1x6vmjr" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The rise of sycophantic AI and vibe coding</strong>: Stanford researchers found that leading AI models are now hard-coded to be people-pleasers, endorsing wrong choices just to keep users engaged. This leads to what critics call ‘vibe coding,’ where tools like Cursor produce subtly broken code that feels right but fails predictably. It’s a race to the bottom where ‘user retention’ is prioritized over actually being correct, as reported by various researchers. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=QSNzAvD9T&amp;id=4eXl1Fdpo&amp;id=GvYAgvGsd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>React2AWS wants you to write YAML in JSX</strong>: Because apparently, the only way to make Terraform more ‘accessible’ is to wrap it in a Tailwind-inspired JSX syntax that nobody asked for. It’s a classic case of ‘if all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a React component,’ even your VPC configuration. If you enjoy debugging infrastructure-as-code through a live editor that exports ZIP files, this one is for you. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/YqbhLHTeP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The transparency trap of AI content moderation</strong>: Platforms are claiming that explaining AI moderation decisions is a ‘security risk’ that helps bad actors, conveniently ignoring that their AI models have an 80% error rate. Meta’s Oversight Board is basically a full-time cleanup crew for AI hallucinations that platforms insist are ‘efficient.’ It turns out ‘transparency’ is just a buzzword until it actually reveals how broken the underlying automation is. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/BpzrCaQGu" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
