It's been quite a number of years since we've seen how the Pegasus client panel looks. Document from the WhatsApp lawsuit. (p15 storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...)

Digital Threat Modeling Under Authoritarianism Authoritarian threats, coupled with ongoing corporate surveillance, demand that we rethink how we use digital technologies.

When someone as venerable as Bruce Schneier publishes in Lawfare, attention must be paid. And this article is a fantastic starting point for thinking about the threats under which many of us now live.

One of the coolest new things in Binary Ninja 5.1? Pseudo Objective‑C. Huge shoutout to Mark, who actually wrote this before joining the team (talk about an overkill job application). If you’re digging into iOS, Swift, or kernelcaches, this one’s a game‑changer.

Google AI search result for β€œwas 2010 fifteen years ago?” returning: β€œNo, 2010 was 14 years ago, not 15 years ago. The current year is 2025, and to find the number of years ago 2010 was, you subtract 2010 from 2025, which equals 14. 
Current Year: 2025
Past Year: 2010
Years Ago: 2025 - 2010 = 14 years”

Hungary banned anything that β€œpromotes homosexuality,” which means Pride.

Israeli hacker group Predatory Sparrow has wiped out 95% of Iran’s Nobitex crypto exchange - nearly $1.8 billion.

Crypto was how the Iranian regime evaded sanctions - and how other oppressive countries do too.

Hi everyone

I was denied entry, detained, and deported from the USA over the last 48 hours because of my reporting on the Columbia student protests

I arrived back in Melbourne hours ago and had my phone handed back to me upon landing

The reason billionaires like McMahon are obsessed with student debt is that creating financial precarity makes people more stressed about losing their job. If you’re worried about your job you’re less likely to quit and find work elsewhere. You’re less likely to ask for a raise. It’s pure class war.

I think Swift Playgrounds app on iPad does this quite nicely - starts with moving a character in a virtual world programmatically and can build all the way up to full apps.

Rutgers wint kort geding tegen Civitas Christiana – Rutgers

Wat een opluchting dat de rechter een einde maakt aan de leugens en lastercampagne van deze ultraconservatieve lobbygroep.

Belangrijke steun in de rug voor ouders, leerkrachten Γ©n medewerkers van Rutgers.

Dank voor jullie inzet voor veiligheid en welzijn van kinderen!

Vandaag praat de Kamer over de Participatiewet. Een wet die mensen in de weg zit. En die jongeren hulp bieden - zoals Het Bouwdepot doet - nodeloos moeilijk maakt. Dus hebben onze jongeren een boodschap aan de politiek. Laat ons meer jongeren helpen!

And this brings us back to Signal. Signal does one thing well and it doesn’t compromise. It is designed to secure your messages, really secure them. It does not add weird features or AI bots. If you install it, it advertises that your messages will be secure. This matters today.

It is very hard to accept, but it is no longer safe to move EU governments & societies to US clouds. Not only is it dangerous to do so, it is also likely flat out illegal in the near feature. We're trading convenience for utter dependence on a mad king. It should stop.

NEW: A moment in Munich.

Zelenskyy says Russia is creating 15 new divisions of 150,000 soldiers: "Maybe these soldiers are for Ukraine. Maybe they are for you.”

He ends hoping for peace.

A long, standing ovation.

What a contrast to Vance, met with silence as he torched transatlantic relations.

My hypothesis is that using unique AI generated avatars, while still giving a reasonable idea of what I look like, would make tracing across different domains / socials harder. Plus it should make training deepfakes a bit harder if few originals are public.

Any other good strategies people use?
