Honestly the lovely app icon by itself already is reason enough to switch from #Gram to #Zed as code editor. https://gram-editor.com/ #GramEditor #ZedEditor
GRAM
Gram is an open source code editor with built-in support for many popular languages. Gram is an opinionated fork of the Zed code editor.

Stop Using Conventional Commits
You’ve almost certainly encountered Conventional Commits before. It may have reared its ugly head in the changelog of an open source project you’ve used. It may have been the enforced commit format for an open source project you contributed to. A lot of people swear by it. I swear at it. Even though it is used by a large number of popular open source projects, Conventional Commits is an actively bad standard which encourages focus on the wrong things and fails to deliver on its promises.

Spyglass Improvements — Jochen Topf
Whenever I have some time, I keep improving OSM Spyglass. A very useful addition is that Spyglass now shows suggestions for the key and value filter fields. Spyglass gets possible keys/values from the data currently loaded and will show all keys/values matching what you have typed so far.

@cwillmes @underdarkGIS Yeah, it kinda sucks that WMS/WFS are SOA-shaped but ten years after SOA was cool, and OGCAPI are REST ten years after REST was cool. The logical extrapolation is that we'll have cloud-optimized HTTP-range-based OGC APIs about ten years from now. cc @doublebyte

Starbucks retired its AI inventory counter after it kept miscounting milk
On May 18, 2026, Starbucks told store workers it was retiring Automated Counting, the NomadGo-powered AI inventory tool it had deployed across North America only nine months earlier. The September 2025 rollout promised faster, more accurate stock counts in more than 11,000 company-operated stores using computer vision, 3D spatial intelligence, and augmented reality. Reuters later reported the tool frequently miscounted and mislabeled basic beverage items, including similar milk types, and sometimes missed products entirely. Starbucks said it was standardizing inventory counts across coffeehouses. That is a polite corporate way to say the robot inventory clerk has been sent home.
