⚡️AGPL is not FOSS
Security researcher Jeffrey Paul – known for exposing macOS OCSP tracking of every Mac user and the apps they opened – is taking aim at the Affero GNU Public License (AGPL).
Released in 2007, the AGPL was meant to close a GPL loophole for “providers” like AWS who run Free Software in the cloud without distributing it. It obligates them to publish any changes they make.
The Free Software Foundation wanted this, but Paul argues it violates the first principle of Free Software: the freedoms are permissions, not obligations. It’s also not viable to follow AGPL in a normal development flow, which would need to update a link to the source in real time, as soon as changes were made.
We use AGPL software for Above Share. We felt that this was great from a privacy perspective, but I can see Pauls point - it doesn’t feel like a license, it feels like more restrictions.

What is one key factor regarding digital ID that almost nobody seems to be talking about?
Interoperability.

Recent Windows 11 Insider builds have included references to a feature named "Taskbar Companion," indicating Microsoft's adding artificial intelligence directly to the taskbar. The company has removed these references from newer versions, likely to hide it during development. Implementation details remain unconfirmed.
A potential design involves a system tray icon that activates a contextual overlay, enabling direct access to AI assistance without using keyboard shortcuts, apps, or navigating menus. While third-party AI services are speculated, Microsoft is expected to prioritize its own Copilot platform.
The Taskbar Companion may serve as a more prominent entry point for Click to Do or similar screen analysis functionality. This fits Microsoft's intention to add various AI agents to to Windows, like they already did with the Settings app.
