Look at the contrast:
Binance loses billions:
- Coinbase manually blocks addresses
- Tether and Circle freeze billions in 60 minutes
- Ripple and World Liberty coordinate in group chats
- Executives hug it out on X
A normal user loses $50k to an approval scam:
- "Blockchain transactions are irreversible, anon"
- "Code is law"
- "Have you considered reading the contract bytecode?"
- Zero help from stablecoin issuers
Decentralization for the peasants, emergency bailouts and centralized freezes for the tier-1 cartel.
There are two crypto industries, and you’re not in the protected one.
Our team is doing everything we can to support in the current situation, including blocking sends to compromised wallets. We've also reached out to Binance to offer our help.
Moments like this call for the industry to work together. Openly sharing any useful information and helping to protect customers should come first, regardless of which platform they use. If you can do anything to help, please do!
Crypto has been through many tough times, and has always come out stronger on the other side. This won’t be any different.

BREAKING: Binance has been hacked with wallets across the Ethereum, Bitcoin, and TRON networks seeing outflows of -$5.7 billion.
The hack includes $1.45 billion worth of Bitcoin and $875 million worth of ETH.
If confirmed, this would mark the biggest hack in crypto history.
We expect more information shortly.

she beat him by 13 points and received the largest raw vote share in the city’s history, some would qualify that as trouncing her challenger and not just merely staving him off

It’s unfathomable that massive swathes of downtown Toronto have threadbare mobile internet connectivity. I’m 100m from UofT and had to get in wifi to even send this

I do not care how cringe people think this is, They are right. The internet used to be fun and it belonged to all of us. And it still can be if we fight for it.

The past month and a bit has been hard mentally for some reason or another and I just want to say thank you to everyone for being here 💕
I am so lucky to be in the position and be where I am today.
If you’re feeling the same way just know you aren’t alone 💕 #MentalHealth

So the reason they want you to use a digital ID card on your Apple or Google Wallet is because showing it unlocks your phone and then the cops can seize your unlocked phone and search it legally without having to get past your password or pin code.

- raise $128m
- build a great, unique browser (arc)
- convince people to switch (a herculean task in itself)
- sell to atlassian late 2025
- discontinue arc (cult following) late 2026
atlassian will end up taking browser company and loom to the graveyard
We've decided to sunset Arc on December 22, 2026.
That's not an easy sentence to write. We spent years building Arc and celebrating each and every release along the way: we have so much pride and love for what we made alongside the Arc community.
Our priority is to deliver best-in-class security for our members. Keeping a browser secure takes constant, dedicated work that is only increasing in the age of AI. Dia was built from the ground up to meet today’s security standards, so that's where our engineering and security teams will focus moving forward.
We've worked to make switching to @diabrowser as easy as possible for Arc members. Here's how:
· Your passwords, bookmarks, extensions and history come over to Dia seamlessly.
· Spaces, Folders, and Tab Groups are in Dia and import over with your data intact.
· Dia now surpasses Arc benchmarks in stability, speed, and security.
· The browser features you use in Arc are free in Dia, and the AI is optional.
Thank you for using Arc, for pushing us to make it better, and for building alongside us. The team that made Arc is the same team behind Dia, and some of our most ambitious work is just ahead. We'd love for you to be there with us when it lands.

Everyone in the comments is saying the same thing :
ARC WAS PERFECT.
The team is acting blind by ignoring all of that, we don't care about an AI browser, we want a reliable one, and arc represents that perfectly.
sometimes idk what's going in people's mind to take such decision and ignore the visible signs that their decision is not appreciated by their community

Imagine you accomplish the herculean task of convincing people to switch off of Chrome as their default browser (something Microsoft couldn't even do with billions of dollars) and then you decide to just throw it all away.

Today I turn 88…I’ve seen some serious shit. The most serious of it all is love. I love my family, my friends, and my wonderful fans. The power of love remains.

@allmodelsRwrong i wrote up a temp check for a @gitcoin x @breadcoop collab: an artizen-inspired crowdfunding app people can actually trust.
we'd keep the fun parts (up to 4x match, leaderboards, fiat ux) and rebuild what sits underneath:
- match on-chain + visible before a round opens
- match funded only from yield that already accrued
- principal locked in a permanent fund
- no single person can stop payouts
- round rules in the contracts, changeable only for future rounds
thousands of ppl just learned what matching feels like, then what losing it feels like. i'd love to catch them while they're still energized.
you've lived this harder than i have (bread got caught in it too). where's the design wrong, and what would the mvp need for you to trust it with your own community?
