Reddit Closing it’s Doors
Reddit forces logins to starve the AI scrapers, ARC gets sunset, and a new terminal called Rex wants to replace your whole setup. Plus CSS Tricks gets a new owner, Redact tries to replace React, and a certificate authority's private key turns out to be the number four.

Wes, Scott, and CJ are back with two weeks of news: Reddit is forcing everyone to log in, r/opensource bans anything AI, and CSS-Tricks is independent again. Plus Anomaly's Hex dictation app, Mitchell Hashimoto's Rex terminal, TanStack Redact, Cloudflare's TypeScript port to Rust, Vercel's Agent Desktop, the new touchscreen MacBook Pros, a flood of CVEs, and a certificate authority whose private key was the number 4.
