I build open-source, privacy-focused apps for anyone whose data is not for sale. I use AI tools to write the code, but do not include surveillance or invasive permissions. My apps are designed to work across platforms, making the switch to Linux phones easier when they're more available. (I'm a beginner in this, learning as I go. I'll start with publishing Flutter apps on Codeberg and Zapstore.)
If this year's theme is weak entropy being discovered, where should we be checking, proactively? Has @Amber's been verified? We've seen other hasks too, of course, but maybe we're seeing a gradual version, a test run of what people think quantum computing will do to Bitcoin. #entropy #asknostr
It's amazing how long I can try iterations before I'm satisfied with an app icon. I like the homespun look of the ones I've got, and it's clear they all match, but I'm aware they're too detailed and tiny to be proper icons. I'm getting better results from the AI I'm trying this time around. But it still takes a while to get to the core of the idea and choose an object to portray that suits it.
I think 2026 has been the year hacks that had been unlikely became inevitable. With ColdCard and other scenarios, what had been a slim chance of a vulnerability that only the most paranoid did the work to avoid became the difference between holding strong and losing funds or data. The shift has come, from "if" to "when". It's easier than ever to explain, in any context, why it's best not to give out information freely. Instead of a question of whether the person we give it to should have our ID, it's a question of how long it will be before their database gets hacked, which criminals will have the information, and what they'll do with it.
