The attribution for Mastodon's CVE-2026-46349 (CVSS 5.3, retracted boost reissuance) is interestingly reported as:
"This security issue has been reported by Doyensec in collaboration with Claude and Anthropic Research"
Is this how they say "Mythos" without revealing that Doyensec is one of the undisclosed Project Glasswing members?
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/security/advisories/GHSA-chgx-jx3p-rf73
https://w.on-t.work/activitypub/may-2026-vulnerability says:
"Doyensec has contacted us on *behalf* of Anthropic".

When Big Tech clouds fail, are censored, or collude with the (US) government, which would you choose for private messaging?

Someone in your phone's address book is using the name "Jack Dorsey" for their Signal account name.
That's all it means.

Reason 5: in July of this year, copilot-instructions.md appeared, and commits from GitHub Copilot were allowed.
Does @npub1mtr…trt0 have a stance on the usage of Copilot or GenAI code?

I don't trust syncthing-fork anymore.
1. App ID changed with version 2.x, seemingly for no reason.
2. catfriend1, the original maintainer has disappeared with no public announcement.
3. Apparently the Play signing keys were transferred to a Github user with a 5 day old account.
4. The old repo does redirect to this new user's repo.
It could be benign and another case of FOSS devs "moving on," quietly. But my paranoia prevails.

Is this the same Carnegie Mellon University that (unethically) hacked Tor for the FBI? And allegedly received $1M for it?
(In that event, how is that any different from the FBI paying the likes of NSO Group or Paragon for hacking tools?)
Not sure I'd applaud Checkout, just yet.

Wikipedia:
"Abughazaleh said that the campaign would reject corporate donations and "the influence of the ultra-wealthy", and instead rely on grassroots donors and free public events, and work with mutual aid groups and local businesses."
"As of May 2025, if elected, Abughazaleh would be the youngest woman, the first Gen Z woman, and the second Palestinian-American woman (after Rashida Tlaib) ever elected to Congress."

[@evacide](https://hachyderm.io/@evacide ) says it best, IMO:
"I don't think that the premise of the Tea app is great, but that pales in comparison to what I think of their execution of that premise, which can best be represented by a photo of a dumpster on fire, and the people who are gleeful about unmasking the users, who should also be represented by a photo of a dumpster on fire."

the challenge is if and when the pendulum swings back, we shouldn't expect a return to "how things used to be." It has to be a radical comeback, like instead of trying to expel trans from our military, we get a trans Secretary of Defense who actually knows what they're doing.
