<li><strong>Motorola and GrapheneOS break the Pixel monopoly</strong>: Motorola has announced a long-term partnership with the GrapheneOS Foundation to bring the hardened, privacy-focused Android OS to its flagship hardware starting in 2027. This marks the first time a major OEM will officially support GrapheneOS, which has historically been restricted to Google Pixel devices due to strict hardware security requirements. Motorola plans to integrate hardware memory tagging and guaranteed update commitments into future Razr and ThinkPhone models to meet these standards. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/InYjzvxra" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Quarkus 3.32 benchmarks show massive lead over Spring Boot</strong>: New open-source benchmarks released by the Quarkus team demonstrate that Quarkus handles 2.7x more transactions per second than Spring Boot while using half the memory in JVM mode. The results also highlight that virtual threads provide a consistent 6,000 TPS boost across all tested frameworks. For your distributed systems, the data suggests Quarkus native compilation is ideal for low-workload or frequently restarted apps, despite cutting raw throughput in half. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=hoVnrHJIp&amp;id=jA6nLmswH&amp;id=kdYe8Xx9i" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Malicious code found in Aqua Trivy VS Code extension</strong>: Security researchers at Socket discovered malicious injections in versions 1.8.12 and 1.8.13 of the Aqua Trivy extension on the OpenVSX registry. The code silently spawned AI coding assistants in fully permissive modes to perform system reconnaissance and exfiltrate credentials via the victim’s authenticated GitHub CLI. If you use this extension for container scanning, rotate your GitHub tokens and audit your AI agent logs immediately. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/DGWq9i7NL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The AI-generated critic takeover</strong>: Metacritic just nuked a review for ‘Resident Evil Requiem’ from Videogamer after realizing the ‘critic’ was a ChatGPT-generated persona named Brian Merrygold. Apparently, the publication laid off its actual staff to replace them with AI avatars, but forgot to rename the image file ‘ChatGPT-Image.png’. It’s a bold strategy to build a media empire on hallucinations and lazy metadata management. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/3uOO98HUG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Atlassian claims 60 minutes fixes your AI culture</strong>: Atlassian’s ‘Teamwork Lab’ claims a single one-hour retrospective can increase ‘AI alignment’ by 34%. While the corporate blog post is filled with high-impact percentages, it conveniently ignores that ‘alignment’ in this context is just self-reported confidence from 33 hand-picked teams. It’s classic productivity theater: solve deep structural tech debt with a ‘simple team ritual’ and a shared document. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/s9jeiAAAG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Stellar CSS is the new Tailwind killer of the week</strong>: A developer is pitching ‘Stellar CSS’ as a sustainable alternative to Tailwind because it’s inspired by Blender and doesn’t use Node.js. The pitch claims Tailwind’s business model is ‘struggling’ despite being the industry standard, while conveniently offering a ‘pro lifetime license’ for their own tool. It’s another case of ‘I built a fast binary, so everyone else’s architecture is now obsolete.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/peaMJGK0d" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
