Bypassing the latest #EU #ageVerification app (2026.07-1) with a Chrome extension... again. Despite 3 months of security hardening and genuine improvements across the board, the fundamental issue cannot be solved. Anonymous age verification doesn't work.

Haaland practices true masculinity.

Ursula von der Leyen has confirmed that everyone in the EU will need to use the EU's app for identity authentication before being able to access or post on social media websites. 🇪🇺 As an expert in online child safety, I am here to expose the misinformation and misdirection in von der Leyen's statements. Today von der Leyen said: "This is not about whether children can access social media, it is about whether social media can access our children". 💡The first part is true. This isn't about children. It's about surveillance and combating political dissent. A state that can't control its own citizens is more dangerous than a state rife with criminals. The second part is a PR soundbite that politicians are using like a campaign slogan straight out of 1984. 🇪🇺"The question is no longer if children face risks online, but what can we do to give children a safer start online". 💡No. You can't give children a "safer start" online any more than you can offline. In the offline world, the government doesn't enforce curfews or ban children from entering liquor stores, bars or restaurants. That's a parent's responsibility. The digital world should be no different. 🇪🇺"The age verification app is one of the tools to get it done". 💡This is a contradiction because she also said "It won't be foolproof". 🇪🇺"It's easy to use, it is privacy preserving and it is open source". 💡The app was compromised as soon as it was released. "Privacy-preserving" age verification is an oxymoron. You can't verify a person's age without verifying their identity. Where or how that age is shared afterwards is irrelevant. 🇪🇺"This is basically about putting back the power into the hands of parents". 💡More from 1984. The EU is doing the opposite. Parents are having their authority stripped by politicians who think they know better. Many parents are capable and unaffected by peer pressure, and they know how to use parental controls to block any app classified as 13+. Some teens are safe, their parents trust them, and the state has no business overruling that trust. 🇪🇺"We don't give our children keys to the car before they have their licence" 💡Comparing an app to a car is a false equivalence used to justify mass surveillance. Governments don't decide when a young person is ready for car keys, guardians do. 💡Forcing every adult and child into a biometric checkpoint just to use an app or website is not licensing drivers. It's the state seizing everyone's keys, locking the garage, and forcing every driver to ask a private company for permission to take a drive. 💡 This is a gross, unethical overreach that strips authority from parents while imposing state sanctioned identity verification on every adult who doesn't even have a child. 💡Additionally, people who pass a test, obtain a licence and drive a car aren't forced to use an app to constantly authenticate their suitability to drive. 🇪🇺"We do not let them buy alcohol until they are legally allowed" 💡False equivalence. We don't force every person to show ID at a shopping mall entrance just because a few people might buy alcohol with a meal at a restaurant. Some parents are okay with their 12 year-old going to the mall with friends while others aren't. Either way, it's their choice. Whatever irresponsible decisions some parents might make, every adult in the country shouldn't be forced to pay the price. 🇪🇺"It won't be foolproof" 💡This is all the proof we need to show that the EU and every government know that banning social media for teens won't protect them. When pressed by journalists about VPNs being used to circumvent a ban, politicians always state the ban isn't a silver bullet and will take time. The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan went as far as to say "we know it's not the solution". 💡Either age verification works, or it doesn't. As a technical expert in this space, I can tell you there are no additional steps to take and no progress to be made. Either the approach does what it is supposed to do, or it's not fit for purpose. If they claim a bulletproof solution is coming, it can only mean one thing. They intend to ban or restrict VPNs to people who verify their identity. 🇪🇺"It will take time to invite the cultural change that is already taking shape in our society, just as it took time to outlaw drink driving, just as it took time to use seatbelts in the cars. Great change never happens overnight, but when it comes to our safety it is always worth it". 💡Comparing a social media ban and age verification to seatbelts is a completely broken analogy. Seatbelts are a safety feature that protects children while allowing them to travel in a car. A ban doesn't give kids a seatbelt. It kicks them out of the car entirely. 💡Instead of supporting parents who want to guide their own children through the digital world, this heavy-handed law strips away parental authority by banning the apps and websites that many parents are perfectly fine with and actively monitor. 💡Furthermore, enforcing these bans requires biometric age verification, which means forcing millions of adult citizens to scan their IDs, faces or credit cards just to browse the internet. That isn't a common-sense traffic law. 💡It's a digital checkpoint on every street. True safety means teaching kids how to navigate the digital world safely with real guardrails and parental guidance, not burning down digital spaces for everyone under the guise of protection. 🇪🇺☠️ The EU wants to ban teens from social media so every person is forced to verify their identity before they can read, share or post anything online. In their words, this is to protect children from dangerous content. 🇪🇺☠️ The EU wants to enforce "Chat Control" so every app has to monitor everything people say privately inside it, including apps with end-to-end encryption. In their words, this is to protect children from dangerous criminals. 💡Where this ends 🇪🇺 "If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever". George Orwell, 1984.

‼️ BREAKING: US Treasury's OFAC sanctions a ransomware VPN… and appears to accidentally break Telegram links worldwide. Yesterday, the US Treasury sanctioned ransomware VPN provider 1VPNS. Buried in the sanctions entry: t[.]me/FirstVPNService, listed as one of the service's websites. About 4 hours later, WHOIS records show the .me registry slammed Telegram's entire t[.]me domain onto serverHold, wiping every t[.]me web link from global DNS. The apps kept working, and telegram[.]me still resolves, so the hold hit the t[.]me registration specifically. A screenshot is circulating that would confirm the t[.]me takedown, saying the domain was placed on serverHold "due to OFAC-related compliance requirements."

@steida Can you show a code of this snippet of this code?

Nano ID is anti pattern. Just 16 random bytes encoded via Base64 url. Done. No need for a lib.

Have you ever changed a key name in Local Storage just to make your values work with a new data structure? And what about migrating the old stored values? I made a small library to handle exactly this case: datavolve.psdcoder.dev

@_pi0_ @andreysitnik nope-id has CommonJS if you need it (but increase the size of the package). There are also more extra functions. I would say that it is a good choice if you need more.

@sitnikcode @andreysitnik So cool 🚀 TIL nop-id exists. How do you compare them?

Nano ID 6.0 is out. We made it 4x faster, and our JS implementation now beats the native C++ crypto.randomUUID(). github.com/ai/nanoid Orhan Aydoğdu came up with the trick for nope-id and let us port it to Nano ID. github.com/ai/nanoid/pull… How it works ↓

We use @devongovett's tools across our projects, especially React Aria. It is a collection of libraries for building adaptive and robust user experiences. We particularly rely on it to make our tools accessible. This month, as part of our open source donation program, we donated to Devon to thank him for his work and impact on the community. He's also the creator of: - @Parceljs: a zero-config web application bundler - Lightning CSS: an extremely fast CSS parser, transformer, bundler, and minifier written in Rust If you've used any of his tools, consider supporting him too: github.com/sponsors/devon…

As usual, the speedup comes from memory management. We used to build the ID symbol by symbol in a loop with str += char, creating a new string on every step. Orhan’s trick is to write ASCII codes into a memory buffer and convert the whole buffer to a string with Buffer#toString

In the 19th century, men and women had similar life expectancies. Men’s life expectancy stopped growing around the 1950s to 1970s, while women’s kept rising. Today’s large gender life duration gap is not “natural.” It mostly emerged after the 1950s.

More evidence that men’s early deaths aren’t mainly about biology. They’re largely about culture (and about society treating men’s deaths as acceptable). In German monasteries, the gender mortality gap is far smaller than in Germany overall. cloisterstudy.eu/COMMS/

Men are less likely to be affected by extreme heat because they’re more likely to be already dead.

🛰️Satellite modem demo on Flipper One — an emergency pager Experimenting with satellite connectivity on Flipper One. The video shows an emergency SOS pager that sends your geolocation so you can be evacuated from a zombie apocalypse when there is no mobile coverage. NTN (Non-Terrestrial Network) is a 3GPP standard in the LTE/5G family. It uses a regular SIM card and is supported by many modern smartphones and smartwatches. NTN is extremely slow and is billed per byte (!), but this is okay when you need to send tiny amounts of data: telemetry or short messages like “I’m alive, heart rate 80 bpm.” In this demo, we use a Blues @buildwithblues NOTE-NGBLWX module that connects to a geostationary satellite on the Skylo @SkyloTech network and transmits data to a Blues NoteHub server. We’re planning to develop a Flipper One IoT module that can serve as a backup communication channel for outdoor use or as an emergency gateway for alarm and monitoring IoT systems.

@jasonfried I like this creative use of a menu QR code.

@gandalv7 Illegaler Geschäftsordnungstrick der Parlamentspräsidentin - Eilantrag, der die Qualifizierte Mehrheit (360 Stimmen) GEGEN die Chatkontrolle gebraucht hätte, an einem Tag, an dem nur knapp 600 MEPs vor Ort waren, wegen Urlaub etc…

'THE GHOST IN THE SHELL' Director Mokochan explains why Science SARU's Motoko is different from the 1995 film "Our goal wasn't to emphasize [Motoko's] cold, mechanical exterior. Instead, we wanted to project her internal self and personality directly onto the screen. Unlike the stoic, brooding Major Motoko Kusanagi from the iconic 1995 film, Science SARU's version embraces her hotheaded, expressive nature as depicted in the original manga. For audiences who have only ever experienced 'Ghost in the Shell' through the lens of those darker, more stoic onscreen iterations, this brighter and more dynamic energy might come as a bit of a shock at first. But rest assured, the core themes haven't shifted at all."
