This should have been the response to that PR

yep, as expected

Esto es Europa en estado puro. El Banco Central Europeo frenó permisos a Revolut para sacar nuevos productos financieros porque el BCE está "preocupado sobre la rapidez con la que el banco digital saca nuevos productos" Revolut, que lo que tiene son tarjetas de crédito y préstamos al consumo le parece muy rápido al BCE 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡 Prefieren bancos atestados de gente que parecen oficinas del siglo XX donde aún hacen fotocopias. ft.com/content/7cc86162-f68c… a través de @ft

filter bip proponents: it really doesn't work, breaks multiple things, doesn't have tech nor ecosystem consensus. each is fatal - it has all FOUR! we all hate spam, we really do. but this is NOT THE WAY. you're gonna hurt yourselves, but if you insist #FOFO fork-off and find out.

The UK government spyware demand means that the government decides exactly what should be censored on every mobile device. They say they will start with nude pictures (if you don’t identify yourself as an adult). But it could at any time be expanded to anything the government disapproves of. Today, 30 people are arrested every day in the United Kingdom for writing something online that the government classifies as "grossly offensive". It is obvious that they will use this tool to restrict free speech. Currently, there appears to be no requirement to report findings outside the device. However, with both legal and technological decision-making power taken away from individuals and transferred to the government, that is only a pen stroke away. This means that the government could also use this system for total mass surveillance. And they can do so in secret. The government recently, in secret, tried to pressure Apple (which is now agreeing to client-side scanning) to build backdoors into its end-to-end encrypted cloud service. They can do this under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016, also known as the "Snoopers' Charter" – a law that makes it illegal for tech companies to disclose secret demands from the government.

The Iranian navy, which has been destroyed eight times, has apparently closed the Strait of Hormuz again, because the United States, for the seventh time, won the war that wasn’t a war, so now the United States has to open the Strait of Hormuz that was already open before the not-war began. The not-war began because Iran had uranium that was totally, completely, beautifully obliterated, so they can’t build the nuclear bomb they weren’t building, which is why the United States had to start the not-war it definitely didn’t start. Now the United States, which has nuclear weapons, is threatening to use nuclear weapons to stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, because nuclear weapons are far too dangerous for countries with nuclear weapons to allow other countries to have. If the United States saw the United States doing what the United States does in other countries, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

NEW: Bitcoin wallet silent since 2011 moves 35.55 BTC ($2.54M) to prove it's not abandoned, after being named as a defendant in a New York court case that claims nearly 3.8M dormant Bitcoin are legally abandoned property.

🚨 Section 8 of Flock Safety’s contract caps liability at just $100. 100,000 cameras. 49 states. 20B license plates scanned every month. $8.4B valuation. If your data is leaked, lost, or misused: max payout is $100. Billions for them. $100 for you. Y'all okay with this?

Nice bamboozled reference. 😉

Tropic Square disclosed a vulnerability in the TROPIC01 Secure Element chip used in Trezor Safe 7. It has been identified based on findings from the Ledger Donjon team's independent audit. Important: Your funds remain safe and secure. Trezor Safe 7 has not been hacked, and you don’t need to take any action. What you need to know: - This discovery cannot give an attacker access to your PIN, funds, or wallet backup in Trezor Safe 7. The vulnerability concerns only the TROPIC01 Secure Element chip, one of three physical, independent security layers, not the whole device. We’re releasing this news proactively because this is how open-source security should work. Transparency is non-negotiable. Collaborations like this raise the bar for the entire industry and make self-custody security stronger for everyone. Here is our response to the findings: trezor.io/blog/news/Trezor-r…

🥷@craigraw just shipped Silent Payments receiving in Sparrow Wallet! One Bitcoin address. Reuse it forever. Zero privacy loss. This is one of the biggest privacy upgrades Bitcoin has had in years. Here's why it matters and what Silent Payments actually are. 🧵

The first public release of GrapheneOS Speech Services is now available in our App Store. After installing it, it can be activated as a text-to-speech service by tapping it in Settings > System > Language & region > Speech > Text-to-speech output > Preferred engine and approving it in the dialog. It currently has a single voice for US English. If you have the system language set to anything other than English (United States), then you need to change Settings > System > Language & region > Speech > Text-to-speech output > Language to English (United States) from Use system language for now. Once it's bundled with the OS, it will be enabled by default so activating it won't be necessary. Needing to activate the TTS engine causes a lot of confusion since Android's standard user interface shows the first TTS engine as active if none is active due to assuming one is bundled. Our Speech Services app uses a fully open source model for text-to-speech which we created ourselves using existing open source code and data. We'll be able to train a better model to replace this one now that we have an RTX 5090 for this purpose. We also plan to make voices for other languages too. The second most used language by GrapheneOS users is very likely German and then likely French. UK English would likely be much easier to add than those due to shared code and data sources so we may do that first but German will likely be next if we can find high quality open data to use for it. In the short term, we could alias all of the other English variants to US English to have it working by default with those selected as system languages. We don't really want to train more than US and UK voices in the mid term rather than adding other languages so we'll just alias those to US or UK. We also plan to make our own speech-to-text implementation to go along with the text-to-speech implementation. The models are end up very large so it's unclear if we want to bundle more than US English with the OS. The other languages could be available as extra language packs in App Store instead.

📝🚨 New blog post: How a bug in Archive Utility allowed access to protected app data (including iMessage and WhatsApp chats, and Safari cookies) without any permissions. The bug could also be exploited to hijack installed apps such as Signal and 1Password to perform phishing attacks. Apple fixed the issue in macOS 26.4 as CVE-2026-28910, five months after we reported it. mysk.blog/2026/05/19/cve-202…

Signal Desktop is not secure. With every vulnerability we discover on macOS, we find Signal Desktop to be an easy target. In this video, we show how a Signal session can be stolen and restored on a remote Mac without the user being aware. Only use Signal on iPhone or Android

Sparrow Wallet now supports Silent Payments (SP) receiving wallets!

Today at 2:31 UTC Haveno lead developer woodser reported the Haveno trade protocol is actively being exploited. At 2:33 UTC RetoSwap banned the exploiters onion address and halt trading by setting the minimum client version to 2.0.0 using the filter feature.

Happy anniversary zu der lustigsten sache die mir jemals passiert ist

New version of Nostr VPN is out. Like tailscale, but no email addresses or 3rd party accounts, just public keys. New: * native multiplatform user interfaces * Nostr-based multihop routing (FIPS protocol) — very useful when NAT holepunching fails * improved network management UX

Tricky new phishing technique someone just tried on me: abusing an actual google recovery contact request form and stuffing it with a really long message that contains a phishing link. The true message is shoved after several pages of blank space at the bottom.

The most respected cypherpunk in Bitcoin's history told you transparent ledgers are designed to harm individual privacy, and the Bitcoin community pretends they never heard him, Monero is what Hal was actually describing.
