AgePony — Post-quantum file encryption & signing for mobile – https://agepony.com/
Post-quantum file encryption for iPhone and Android, built on the age protocol. Seal a file to a quantum-safe ML-KEM-768 hybrid key, sign it with a YubiKey over NFC, and hand it to anyone with the age CLI. Any size you like: a 1 GB file encrypts like a small one. The whole app is open source. No accounts. No tracking. Your keys never leave your device.
It runs on your computer too.
AgePony for macOS, Windows and Linux writes the same age files the phone apps do — including the standardised post-quantum ML-KEM-768 recipient, checked against the same reference vectors on every build. Move your identity across by QR and keep going on the bigger screen.

Flock is nothing compared to what’s coming next…
Bret Weinstein says the surveillance company Toka makes #Flock look like "the shallow end of the frickin pool."
Toka is an Israeli company that advertises “frictionless surveillance.”
#Toka’s technology can locate cameras not their own, remotely access them, and change footage, both previous and live; and they can disappear evidence that any changes have been made. What could go wrong?
Bret Weinstein explains, "I don't want to live in a world where a person can be erased and the people who did the erasing run no risk because they have a subscription to a service that allows their crime to be perfect.
That's really what this is."

Russia launched massive overnight strike on defense industry sites, depots, transport & logistics hubs in Kiev Region
In Kiev alone, the strikes hit:
- Fire Point — UAVs & missiles
- Ukrspecsystems — UAV
- Antonov Serial Production Plant — aviation
“
That’s how the Russian Defense Ministry commented on the massive overnight strike on targets in Kyiv and the Kyiv region.
In total, Russian air defense systems shot down 726 Ukrainian drones over Russian regions overnight.

Hello everyone, my Alices and Cheshire cats! 🐈⬛🎀
It's finally done - the article some of you have been waiting for since last year! 🎉
This time I'm debunking the myths that make people believe their conversations with popular AI are at least somewhat "private" 🫥
We'll look at why that's not true, and how neural networks actually collect your data -from "private mode" to chat deletion and premium subscriptions.
But the most important part isn't just to scare you - it's to show you methods that actually work 🛠 I'll walk through a few approaches I've personally tested that genuinely help reduce the risks, including local models that don't send anything outside your device.
I hope you find this topic as interesting to dive into as I did! ♥️
And if you're into AI topics, I might soon put together a separate post or short article on AI-related cybersecurity incidents, since there's a lot happening on that front right now 🫠

🇮🇹 The Italian architecture of anti-Russian pressure | Strategic Culture
The Ukraine war, on the ground, has dates, maps, and front lines, but around that visible front, a second war has taken shape – one made up of networks, data, cables, patents, export guarantees, industrial memoranda, cyber. This second war does not produce battle reports, but rather complex, constantly shifting, and very, very costly architectures.
Italy is increasingly involved in this second dimension, though this has long gone largely unreported. The way Rome supports Kiev has shifted from a series of emergency decisions – the delivery of weapons systems decided by decree after decree – to something more stable: a network of relationships that brings together diplomacy, the defense industry, cybersecurity, energy, and reconstruction.
The point of this article is not to determine whether #Italy is “helping” #Ukraine. It is to determine what strategic position Italy is building for itself while doing so.

• 📝 Bankruptcy on Schedule📝
In so-called Ukraine, they are talking about money again — or rather, its catastrophic shortage. In the Verkhovna Rada, they acknowledged that budget problems will persist even with 100-percent financing from Western partners. "It's time to forget about politics when standing on the brink of an abyss," parliament declared, calling for fulfilling obligations to the IMF and EU.
➡️ Since 2022, foreign structures have transferred almost 192 billion dollars to Kyiv. The volume of aid grew year after year, reaching a peak in 2025 (52.4 billion). However, already in 2026, financing dropped to 24.1 billion, and this is only the first half of the year.
📌 Meanwhile, Western countries increasingly delay fund disbursements. Some EU countries have refused financing, claiming they lack the funds. Even with full compliance with all foreign obligations, problems will remain — failure to meet budget revenue targets, constantly growing military expenses, and economic slowdown have taken their toll.
❗️ Moreover, to receive money, the adversary will have to undertake serious reforms that will institutionally cement the country's dependence on European partners and hurt private business through tax increases and elimination of benefits.
As a result, the authorities of so-called Ukraine risk not only becoming bankrupt with a destroyed economy and reduced population, but also permanently losing the ability to determine even domestic policy.
However, they have no alternatives. Without subsidies, there will be nothing to pay "veterans" and fulfill already reduced Western obligations.
Western politicians are unlikely to shower money on a destroyed state, but will only "keep it alive" to maintain access to cheap resources.

🔻 Who and how much financed:▪️ USA — main grant donor: over 30 billion dollars in the period from 2022 to 2024.▪️ European Union — systemic creditor: since 2023, transferred about 60 billion dollars.▪️ IMF — over 14.8 billion since 2022.▪️ ERA Mechanism (G7) — 47.7 billion in 2024–2026 from frozen Russian assets.

/e/ is a highly problematic fork of LineageOS very poor privacy and atrocious security. People would be far better off using standard LineageOS one of the better supported devices. An iPhone is far more private and drastically more secure than Murena products.
/e/ lacks crucial standard privacy and security patches. It has many months and even years of delays to provide those. Nearly all the devices they support lack most Linux kernel, driver and firmware updates. They don't keep up with those for any devices. They don't keep up with Android, Chromium or Linux security updates anywhere either. Many severe patched privacy and security vulnerabilities are left wide open for months and even years with /e/. They heavily mislead their users about what's patched and how long they take to ship it.
/e/ also doesn't provide important standard privacy or security protections. It lags years behind on providing the current generation protections and disables many of the most important ones. An operating system failing to protect against known privacy weaknesses does not have reasonable privacy.
/e/ includes their own privacy invasive services and sends user data to third party including OpenAI without consent. Despite how it's marketed, it includes many Google services with privileged integration into the OS. They have their own privacy invasive services including user tracking with unique identifiers in their update client.
Their own supposed privacy features are incredibly flawed and do not provide what they claim. A small list of blocked domains omitting everything used for useful functionality does not stop tracking by apps or services. It leaves the most privacy invasive behavior of apps and services intact and is trivially bypassed in multiple ways even for what it does cover. Apps and services only need to use the same domains for functionality as tracking to avoid it which is already largely what they do. Apps and services also already widely deploy bypasses for this naive domain-based filtering even for domains dedicated to tracking. /e/ would have you believe that a DNS blocklist is a game changing approach. There are better implementations including RethinkDNS available for use elsewhere.

/e/ and their for-profit company Murena have repeatedly pushed anti-privacy talking points from authoritarians claiming devices with strong privacy and security are for criminals and pedophiles. Here are 2 examples where Gaël Duval says that himself about privacy/security hardened devices in general:
nitter.net/GrapheneOS/status/2040…

/e/ and Murena many of the same anti-privacy talking points as France's current government and national law enforcement. They've aligned themselves with authoritarians in the country where they're based instead of opposing it. There are dozens of examples where they falsely claim GrapheneOS are mainly useful to criminals and mainly used by criminals. That's more extreme than the claims by France's national law enforcement cracking down on secure devices. They've gone so far to align themselves with anti-privacy authoritarians that they're ahead of them.
Murena is a for-profit company with the founders and owners of it being the same people who run /e/. /e/ includes for-profit paid Murena services and is built for Murena to sell devices with it. Despite being made for profit, /e/ receives millions of euros in government funding from governments which have spent years cracking down on legitimate privacy products:
