Bitcoin Under Attack
(Videos are below) This is starting to look really purposeful, captured Bitcoin Core not fixing the Taproot bugs that fueled years of SPAM and blowing up the UTXO set, then blowing up OP_RETURN to 100k to make node runners hold…

Could AI Fuel the Great Deception of Matthew 24? This Ministry Leader Thinks So
Partly true, but people have been deceived for decades by the press, media, and false prophets, an unceasing stream of propaganda and misinformation. Though AI does give rulers something better than depending on lying, imperfect humans, and acts as perfect…
Stop Signs Just Got An AI Upgrade
This isn’t problematic with AI hallucinations at all. And the biggest problem with these types of systems is the company providing the cameras receiving a percentage, thus incentivized to make sure more people get caught. And eventually they get firmware…
Developer Verification – Google Android
A good post on Google’s Android developer verification, and how this will affect installing apps (sideloading). It’s interesting that it’s a separate package from the Play Store. It doesn’t affect LOS, but if it is one day rolled into the…

Senate Republicans Unveil New Clarity Act Draft
The No Dissent section was interesting, as they seem to have stuck to a script with no meaningful discussion. And the extended funding for blockchain surveillance is telling, as the government doesn’t want you to have any financial privacy, or…
Ubuntu Makes Removing Buggy Rust Clones Even Harder
This is a pretty underhanded move by Ubuntu. I’ve long dropped Ubuntu and its derivatives, as Canonical is a trash company from installing telemetry which at one point was difficult to remove, to making important software Snap packages by default…
French Parliament Reaches Deal on Social Media Ban
This kind of reminds me of the approach in the US of doing state by state age verification laws, as France is a member of the EU, all to make everything such a pain, a US and EU digital ID…
Mullvad VPN Founder Political Donation Controversy
