@EmperorRedYT I'm pretty sure when a moderator tries to join a full server it automatically kicks a random person from the server for some reason, so ion really think they meant to kick you.
(correct me if i'm wrong 🤔)
Shai-Hulud, that spoopy Git worm thingy everyones been yapping about, was open-sourced.
Unfortunately, GitHub has removed the repo.
This is terrible news.
It can no longer be studied... unless there was someone who collected this sort of thing and has a local copy...
@theFreshmaker99@callebtc@0xTangle Fun Fact: We've been doing gift cards longer than Bitrefill. So.. Bitrefill is more like Coincards.
Also, our prepaid credit card products are nothing like theirs.

‼️🚨 ALARMING: Google now treats privacy as suspicious behavior by default. Users of GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, /e/OS, and other deGoogled Android phones are being locked out of millions of websites unless they install the exact Google Play Services software they deliberately removed.
GrapheneOS is recommended by the EFF and used by journalists, lawyers, and activists in high-risk environments. The audience most likely to read Google's data practices and refuse its terms is now flagged as fraudulent for that exact decision.
What happened?:
▪️ Google announced "Cloud Fraud Defense" at Cloud Next on April 22-23, 2026, branding it "the next evolution of reCAPTCHA." Existing reCAPTCHA customers were auto-migrated.
▪️ When the system flags traffic as suspicious, the old click-the-bus puzzle is gone. Users get a QR code instead.
▪️ Scanning the QR code requires Google Play Services running on the device. Internet Archive snapshots show this requirement has been live since at least October 2025, silently rolled out for 7 months before anyone noticed.
▪️ No Play Services = no QR scan = locked out.
The bigger picture:
▪️ Google already tried this in 2023. It was called Web Environment Integrity (WEI), and it would have let Google decide which devices were "real enough" to access the web. Standards bodies and the public pushed back hard, and Google killed it. Three years later, the same idea is back, just hidden behind a QR code instead of a browser feature.
▪️ reCAPTCHA runs on millions of websites. Every developer who keeps using it is now, by default, telling deGoogled Android users they're not welcome...
@KaynakNews he's running the speedtest server locally, which is why its that high
if he tries downloading something from, let's say steam, it'll be a normal speed
@noinconsistency 98% SSD health, 63 unsafe shutdowns
i don't think unsafe shutdowns is that accurate, since it can sometimes increase even if you shutdown normally
@beanzsie they dm people from replies and stuff
and the bots usually don't reply to normal posts
so a bot never really dms another bot
i imagine they would start replying to each other in an endless loop if it ever happened though
Do you think bots ever dm each other and get stuck in endless loops trying to scam one another, or is there like a code word or something that they use to identify each other?
