The pursuit of "engagement" means that its not acceptable for software to not trigger actions from us.

On the social web, that means everything is done to get us to pick sides in every single topic, image, statement, or fact.

Can we disengage now?

[Jᵾlien Genestoux @julien51]

@jaesmail Has always been. Called his business bankless but still uses Stripe to be paid :)

[Jᵾlien Genestoux @julien51]

And with that I invite you to start considering that this platform is one that manipulated you.

[Jᵾlien Genestoux @julien51]

If you voted for trump, you dont get to say he's changed.

The lies, the cronies, the abuse of power, the disrespect for anything that actually made America great... Everything was announced, advertised even.

You willfully ignored it because it was convenient.

This is on you.

[Christoph Janz 🕊 @chrija]

To everyone in tech who supported Trump in 2024: now would be a good time to reconsider.

The parallels to the early stages of Germany’s darkest history are becoming hard to ignore. To be clear, Trump is NOT Hitler. But look at the intimidation, normalization of violence, centralization of power, threats against other nations,... The fact that Trump is less evil and less racist than Hitler shouldn't reassure us.

Time to call out the emperor’s clothes. I refuse to believe that anyone in their right mind can deny that Trump is a narcissistic, egomaniacal, incompetent, corrupt, and deeply immoral person.

[Jᵾlien Genestoux @julien51]

@mdudas Maybe because you voted for them despite all their previous lies?

GM Locksmiths,

Some of you might have heard that a major NPM attack took place yesterday. NPM stands for Node Package Manager and is the default package manager for the JavaScript runtime environment Node.js. NPM allows developers to install, share, and manage open-source code libraries (or packages) efficiently for JavaScript projects.

On September 8, 2025, an attacker gained access to the accounts of a trusted maintainer and published malicious updates to 18 popular NPM packages, including chalk and debug, which injected harmful code targeting browser-based crypto wallets. The attack spread rapidly to millions of downstream apps until the community responded and removed the compromised versions within hours.

Users are affected if they installed or ran projects that pulled the infected NPM packages during the window when malicious versions were live, primarily impacting browser-based crypto wallets and blockchain interactions. The risk is limited to those who updated or deployed projects between September 8 and the official package rollbacks, and anyone exposed should immediately update dependencies and review wallet security.

That said 𝒊𝒕 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒂𝒇𝒇𝒆𝒄𝒕 𝑼𝒏𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝑷𝒓𝒐𝒕𝒐𝒄𝒐𝒍 𝒅𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒍𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝒂𝒏𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒚, yet 𝘄𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗺 𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗸 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗲𝘃𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱.

Stay SAFU ✊💜

@ramez It's probably not what he meant, but if AI is going to deliver on the promises we're seeing today, wouldn't *everything* be AI driven anyway?
