🚨 NO eID
EU citizens should never accept, and never use, the eID.
Denmark: national ID data on 8.8 million people, taken via a firm the state had already trusted with access.
That is what digital ID looks like when it fails.

Everyone shut up about Gen Z, Millennial, Boomer, Generation X. Generations are fake, a branch of astrology invented by Strauss and Howe to sell books. There is only one generation: the human generation. Our differences are racial.

Removing or significantly reforming KYC, KYB, KYT, AML and related regulatory and commercial burdens could increase global commercial output 2-5x.
Information collection is not only dangerous to end users but limit financial inclusion, impedes commerce and puts significant burdens and constraints across the financial, tech and governance stack.
People underestimate how much damage compounded broken tools adds to the system.

Ireland shouldn't play Israel.
It'll be a stain on our island and our history.
Don't normalise genocide.

The nudge nudge wink wink ‘look at these transhumanists’ routine that some people pull hereabouts is actively ideologically poisonous and must be resisted in the strongest terms. Not because we’re pro-eugenics, but because we’re pro-personal freedom and anti-normative naturalism.

If you slap a 10 year mandatory minimum on the possession of an open weight LLM I can assure you that acts of rebellion and violence will increase. I'll be among them.
Most people's solution to AI risks is a police-state, to the point that's now the bigger danger than AI itself

The Hugging bay, The Pirate bay for open LLM's, model weights downloadable with torrents.
This is a game changer.

🚨BREAKING: The Government announces all UK phones will require ID and surveillance software
This means that Britons will be left with CHILD-LOCKED devices unless they comply with digital ID checks
Protecting children is a noble goal, but the government mandating that all phones come with surveillance software is a crossing of the Rubicon that would make the UK one of the most authoritarian internet regimes in the world
It’s crazy how bombing hospitals was a war crime until Israel did it over and over again. Now it’s barely a news story.

We are long, long, long overdue to reduce the amount of KYC we do as a society.
It doesn’t stop crime. It enables mass surveillance of the innocent by the tyrannical. And, perhaps most of all, it enriches hackers with troves of intimate personal data.

Scared? Be scarederer. Please for pity’s sake let’s stop spending on anything apart from weapons.
L’Allemagne a établi la responsabilité de la Russie dans les graves incidents survenus à Leipzig début août.
Ces attaques hybrides se multiplient en Europe. Elles ne peuvent rester sans réponse.
La France est pleinement solidaire de l’Allemagne et soutient l’adoption de nouvelles sanctions européennes contre la Russie.
Face à cette escalade, nous devons être unis, déterminés et renforcer notre soutien à l’Ukraine. La France continuera d'y prendre toute sa part.

Lattice-based Signature Schemes for Bitcoin
A self-contained review of three lattice-based signature schemes, with Bitcoin's post-quantum transition as the motivating application.
Read the full paper at

If Bitcoin had to choose a lattice signature today, it would be Falcon-1024.
@blksresearch has published a full report on Dilithium, Falcon and Hawk: what each costs on-chain, how hard each is to implement safely, and which assumptions you are trusting.

We asked GPT 5.6-Cyber to escape a VM used to sandbox agents. It broke out three times.
In its final escape, the agent found three 0-days on its own and chained them into a working exploit. blog.trailofbits.com/2026/08…
@nym hey, been using Nym for a month or so. Speed is comparable to the best alternatives in fast mode, and acceptable in mixnet.
I get a few self-resolving pauses per day in android (less than 1min) & usually have to restart it on debian when Nym is started alongside the system.
Just letting you know. I'm a happy customer, but I couldn't quite recommend it to e.g. my parents in the way I might with more mature/centralized alternatives. Yet...
