Carry a second cheap smartphone, like Pixel -a series or iPhone -SE. That one should be used for banking, government apps, for border inspections, etc. On your main GrapheneOS phone your financial app should be a Bitcoin wallet. The main phone should be off or in the BFU state when you are in a vulnerable situation.

If true, I think Trump is nuts. He's alienating the very people in the Silicon Valley that helped him to win.

That's a very naive take of someone who never professionally traded. There are liquidity providing, market making trading strategies that work in absence of insider information.

Expect ⅕ codex quotas after

How do you use DeepSeek 4 Flash? Via a cli?

Perhaps they would have made the basic spell-checker work on MacOS apple silicon then in this long time?

Downloading this and cancelling Google Antigravity Pro at the same time:

I had a Google Pro account that I inherited from buying a Pixel 9 XL - it's free for a year after a flagship Pixel phone purchase. After a year they started charging for it, and i tolerated it, because Flash was usable in Antigravity for dumb auxiliary tasks that I did not want to waste GPT/Opus on. It had a separate generous quota from Gemini 3.1 Pro. Now with Flash 3.5 they combined the quotas with Pro, such that on a Google pro account you can work 4-5 hours per week in Flash. And by the way, 3.1 Pro is useless for programming, compared to Codex/Opus

This should become the new Apple's hardware and software play. I am hopeful about the new CEO

I think it's quite telling that this comment was written in Brazil. The so-called Third World is the future source of freedom (or Western countries that become third world perhaps). It may not be a bad idea now to start building open compute and banking alternative ecosystems based in those countries, marketed at Western citizens.

I also noticed that my Google Wallet cards no longer have expiration dates- when a card expires and they issue a new one, the Wallet card works without any intervention on my part

For comparison, the construction cost of AlBoraq 200mph bullet train in Morroco is $5.3–5.7 billion in today's dollars. The line length is 200 miles.

I asked META itself:

The push for online age verification started gaining momentum globally, with several countries implementing regulations. Here's a brief timeline:

- 2022: The European Union introduced the Digital Services Act (DSA), establishing a framework for digital services accountability and content moderation.

- 2023:

    - *France*: Passed a law requiring age verification for social media and porn websites.

    - *UK*: Enacted the Online Safety Act, requiring "highly effective" age assurance for platforms accessible to children.

    - *Australia*: Announced plans to ban social media for under-16s.

    - *Italy*: Implemented mandatory age verification for sensitive content websites.

    - *Denmark*: Proposed banning social media for under-15s.

    - *Malaysia*: Required social media platforms to ban users under 16.

    - *EU*: Rolling out digital age verification across member states.

    - *Norway*: Proposed banning social media for under-15s.

    - *Spain*: Announced plans to ban social media access for under-16s.

There is a sudden concerted international push for online age verification, and we do not know where this push originates from. That is the scariest thing about it.

There is only one problem with Meta: Facebook itself is like a TV show that has ran its course. He's riding off what he purchased: Instagram and WhatsApp, but being a product thief he cannot create anything new.

I wonder if one can start a company selling repairable cars, for example, be it electric or gasoline.

I went to school with a math genius who participated in international math Olympiads. Curiously he had no problem juggling multiple balls - and nobody taught him.

This freed capital is going into AI agent budgets. Expect lower quotas and higher prices

In what jurisdiction? He's in Russia

I prefer this ISP blocking to their OfCom push where they tried to force companies worldwide to obey their regulations and make executives personally liable for actions of their users (an operator of a free forum, for example who has a full time job and runs a hobby forum in his free time).

I'm with you on this. I've been an early paid Antigravity IDE user. Their recent silent rug pull on quotas, where without any warning you get rate-limited for 5 days in the middle of code refactoring, enrages users, not simply making them unsatisfied with the product. It actually makes you hate the evil company.

Yeah it's really hard to block tally count of five IPs.

They blocked 16m IPs, to the extent that it started affecting the entire Russian's internet stability, and Telegram was still available there: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/apr/17/russia-blocks-...

Wake up

Is that a demand? A slogan? I wonder how much your own wokeness affects your ability to absorb facts.

Telegram has private chats. I don't pay attention to his words, indeed. Way before the Ukrainian war, Russia had a massive campaign trying to block Telegram and they failed on a technical level. This has never happened with WhatsApp.

I trust Telegram more: Putin never had any problems with Whatsapp, only with Telegram.

looks like it's a rail welding failure.

If insiders trade, the market becomes more accurate, which is good for society. Like WikiLeaks. Thus the MSN panic, the legacy establishment wants Polymarket to follow Assange's path.

Goodbye all small independent forums with no AI budgets. An attacker posts a nude picture, 18m fine from OfCom ("whichever is larger", not proportional to revenue)
