Small and satisfying update of Brave bookmarks prefix to "chrome" from "brave" to get the nice bookmark icon 🔖 • These relatively linked bookmarks are useful to instantly open a collection of bookmarks from the address bar • E.g. Typing "Brave all" into the address bar shows the highlighted bookmark above. Selecting it instantly opens the folder in a tab. • Because they're relatively linked they could be remapped by Brave during a future update so they may need relinking. Only happened to me once so far.

AI Can Now Easily Unmask Your Secret Online Life (Even If You Use a Fake Name) https://itsfoss.com/news/ai-online-deanonymization/ Imagine this: You're on Reddit, Hacker News, or some forum, posting with a silly username like GamerCat2025 or SecretCoderX. You think you are anonymous, and no one knows you and so you can freely express your thoughts. Well, a brand-new research paper just blew that idea apart. It's called "Large-scale online deanonymization with LLMs" which is a fancy way of saying "figuring out the real person behind a secret online name". Research: https://arxiv.org/abs/2602.16800

Literally the only morally principled part of crypto space is cypherpunk ideology of privacy. Crypto is otherwise full of grifters and scammers. If you're a surveillance-cheering, doxx-demanding idiot in crypto space, it's very likely you're only in that space for grift and nothing else.

For those interested in backing up your X data I spent the last couple of days looking at the X archive feature and many areas to improve. Backups are an important part of owning your data. TLDR • Add full posts content for premium users, your own post series (threads), and articles • From my estimate it looks like it the archive feature hasn't been updated since ≤2022 https://x.com/adamshurwitz/status/2027409912918114480

🥸 Smart glasses detector on your mobile Its author, a sociologist who programs as a hobby, devised an application after seeing how these accessories are used to record people without permission, and considers it a small gesture against constant surveillance. The program checks the typical Bluetooth signals emitted by these devices and sends push notifications to alert. It is now available and its code can be viewed openly. It may not be 100% effective depending on the environmental conditions, but it is a good advancement. You can download it from the PlayStore here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.pocketpc.nearbyglasses and review its code on Github here: https://github.com/yjeanrenaud/yj_nearbyglasses
