We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/germ…

a founder I once worked with wanted us to hang his values in every office. number one: the desire to win. it always struck me as philosophically fragile, conquest dressed as purpose. the founder, though, was often ahead of his time. Seems he still is. I see dominance over

are growth positions just male coded branding for essentially marketing positions?

I must applaud the ECB for being able to be such a solid contra-indicator. 👏 Europe will not have have inflation, bitcoin is on its way to irrelevance, and now the euro needs to become the global reserve currency? wonder what’s going to happen there

🥱 tired of male-gaze comments in this space that serve no purpose other than normalising objectification of women

Rebuild the casino and the house still wins. Every crash is a classroom. Friday’s lesson: self-custody isn’t a slogan, ownership isn’t a meme.

The contrast between how Bitcoin’s energy use was framed a few years ago and how AI’s energy surge is being covered today says a lot about media narratives and institutional alignment

If correlations got the same attention as market analyses, I’d be def more hooked

Privacy isn’t about hiding from consequences. It’s about preventing pre-emptive control.

🚨Claude Skills for Smart Contract Security are now here, all thanks to Trail of Bits Plugins for verifying security of audit fixes, scanning for common Critical vulnerabilities, pattern-matching and more. This will boost web3 developers and security researchers by A LOT🚀

what did we learn? If your prototype looks like an improvised explosive device, the state will audit it for you

My point here is that the implementations of AI agents esp in the OS, w the pervasive permissions, insecure MCP architectures, and requirement for data access, undermine Signal’s (and others’) ability to provide privacy via e2ee at the application layer. This is a big problem.
