@playrust Does this include DLCs?

🚨 Two years ago, I was detained in Paris by police for 3 days — the longest they can hold someone before charging them.

In an unprecedented move, French authorities accused the head of a major platform of crimes committed by its users.

That investigation is still ongoing, although it makes less sense with each passing year.

Why?

Because we now have extensive evidence that Telegram was neither worse than other popular platforms at moderation, nor the worst at cooperating with authorities.

So why was Telegram singled out?

Over the last two years, we have seen a pattern emerge in multiple countries: Telegram is quietly asked to grant political favors — such as illegal censorship or surveillance. When we refuse, local media and “non-governmental” organizations launch orchestrated campaigns portraying Telegram as a cesspool of crime, from child pornography to terrorism.

Our moderation is no worse than that of other major platforms. Yet these campaigns instill the idea that Telegram should be persecuted or restricted.

Suddenly, officials start caring about crime and protecting children — but only on platforms that reject their secret political demands. Platforms that accept such deals get away with almost anything — including literally selling ads promoting child pornography.

Is the French investigation against me political? It certainly fits the pattern we see elsewhere, mostly in authoritarian countries. And it definitely raises questions.

In time, this investigation may itself be investigated — especially now that Macron’s war against free speech is facing pushback. This month, France’s Constitutional Council struck down his social media ban for children under 15 on freedom-of-expression grounds.

In the end, freedom and truth will prevail ✊

Update:

They’re not just hunting the leaker.

Take-Two got court approval to pull personal info (emails, phone numbers, IPs, device IDs) from ~100k Discord users across multiple servers... including DarkViperAU’s 90k-member server.

Most of those people are complete bystanders who had nothing to do with the leaks.

A multi-billion dollar company turning Discord into a mass surveillance tool the second their IP gets threatened.

And remember… once they have that personal data, there’s no real guarantee they can even protect it.
These big companies get breached regularly. When (not if) it happens again, your info is just sitting there waiting to be leaked.

Greed + power = this exact playbook.

This is the type of optimization that is great to see, 4k textures reduced on items that don't need it saving tons of VRAM from 42.7MB to 2.17MB #Rust

[Protox @Protox0]

Xeo on discord alerted me that many monuments now have barricades blocking off the entrances. Not really sure how to get rid of them yet, but they take no damage, perhaps time based or some other action you have to do? Powergrid has not effect even with stage 4. 💀 #Rust

You can now start a Claude Code session directly from your phone.

Any machine running claude remote-control shows up as a device card at the top of the Code tab. Tap it, pick a directory, and it starts on that machine.

[MOSSIE125 @jmostert09]

@SonOfATech Using which program/ algorithm?

[MOSSIE125 @jmostert09]

@Protox0 @ArtOfPilgrim Great news for my fps.

[Protox @Protox0]

Optimization for a bunch of weapon world models being done by Pilgrim, better fps when the zerg despawns their base! #Rust

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

We’re extending the 50% increase to weekly Claude Code limits through August 31.

We hope to make this a permanent change to our plans, but strong demand for our models means that capacity may be tight over the coming weeks. We’ll keep you posted as things develop.

@googlemaps @gmail When is it coming to South Africa?

[MOSSIE125 @jmostert09]

@thndrwsp @joshwoodward 100% agree

[MOSSIE125 @jmostert09]

@GMapsPlatform Great update.

[MOSSIE125 @jmostert09]

@twolays People are crazy sometimes. But a good kind of crazy.

[MOSSIE125 @jmostert09]

@Brammflakes @WARDOGS Great way to get your team (especially developers) to really care about a feature. If they use it every day, they are incentivized to put more effort into improve it!

[Joe Brammer @Brammflakes]

Fun fact: We wanted Local VOIP to be a really important social feature in @WARDOGS so when it was first implemented (and had a lot of bugs)..

To get it up to standard, we forced the feature team to have their normal daily stand-up meeting in-game. Then production started holding their daily meeting in-game too.

I think it ended up showing that extra bit of care that feature team put into it. Proud of them :)

Researchers pulled a 256-bit encryption key out of a device by filming its power LED.

The status light on a smart card reader flickers in sync with the chip's power draw, and that power draw leaks the key. They recovered a full ECDSA key from 16 meters away, through a window, using a hijacked security camera. No malware, no contact, just video of a status light.

The trick: a camera's rolling shutter turns 60 frames per second into 60,000 brightness samples per second.

The light that tells you a device is on tells an attacker what it is computing.

[MOSSIE125 @jmostert09]

@Protox0 Very cool idea, but the execution still needs some work...

[MOSSIE125 @jmostert09]

@cremieuxrecueil What method do you use to carry over your conversations and projects from one platform to another?

[MOSSIE125 @jmostert09]

@BenjaminPasero @AnthropicAI Good luck with your new position!
