Today's topics:

Copilot documents infect future drafts - A security researcher showed how hidden prompt injection in a Word document can manipulate Microsoft Copilot, alter drafted content, and spread through later files in OneDrive workflows. It highlights AI security, document tampering, LLM trust boundaries, and collaboration risk.

Kindle joins the tailnet - An updated community Tailscale setup gives jailbroken Kindles SSH, proxy access, and broader tailnet connectivity, making them more useful for self-hosted reading workflows. This story touches Kindle hacking, Tailscale, KOReader, remote access, and personal infrastructure.

SQLite moves into production - A widely discussed essay argues that SQLite is a serious production database for low-latency app servers and edge deployments when used with the right concurrency and replication strategy. It centers on SQLite, WAL mode, edge computing, app performance, and database architecture.

Amiga art and demo tools - Two retro pieces revisit the Amiga era through a growing graphics archive and a visual tour of demoscene software tools with unusual interfaces. The coverage connects digital preservation, pixel art, demo scene history, Commodore Amiga, and creative toolchains.

Forth ideas inside Lisp - A chapter from Let Over Lambda builds a Forth-like system inside Common Lisp to show how macros can blur the boundary between language design and application code. It brings together Common Lisp, Forth, metaprogramming, macros, and developer ergonomics.

Attention platforms versus deep focus - An essay on the attention economy argues that feeds, notifications, and constant pings are engineered to interrupt focus because distraction is profitable. It ties together attention economy, productivity, screen time, deep work, and digital wellbeing.
