Дуров у себя в канале опубликовал пост о том, что некое приложение, созданное любителем за два дня, заработало $500 тысяч сразу со старта (в сети пишут что речь про Memhash — обычный idle-криптоскам, просто в тематике майнинга, еще и с платным входом).
This is the power of hard work, determination, and the Telegram mini app platform!

Оставим в стороне очевиднейшую ошибку выжившего. Основная ирония в том, что двумя постами выше Дуров критикует употребление алкоголя, рассказывает о том, что сам не пил 20 лет, и что нужно хранить своё ментальное здоровье, и только тогда добьёшься экстраординарных результатов.
При этом вся активная платформа миниприложений в Телеграме не только оказалась очень благодатной почвой для роста скам-кликеров, но это направление ещё и всячески поддерживается администрацией.
Мобильный игровой мир и так проклят. Вместо того, чтобы у нас в топах популярных игр на телефонах были вещи типа Slay the Spire и Into the Breach, мы получили засилье мобильных наркотиков — то есть «игр» без настоящего принятия решений, зато с большим количеством аддиктивных механик, имеющих точно такое же воздействие на психику и создающих точно такие же зависимости, как алкоголь и курение.
Телеграм сделал ещё хуже: пользуясь слабой регуляцией криптовалют, он вмешал сюда гэмблинг и лохотроны, которые уже включают по природе своей механизмы для обхода критической защиты у людей в мозгах. Это не только кратно увеличило «подсаживание» хомяков на хомяка, но ещё и добавило чисто материального вреда для зависимых.
Так что сначала критикуешь алкоголь и ругаешь общество за деструктивные ритуалы, а потом хвалишь «беспроигрышную лотерею», один только вход в которую стоит $100, потому что часть этих денег идёт тебе.
Концептуально Дуров сейчас — наркобарон.

During out talks with F-Droid users at FOSDEM26 we were baffled to learn most were relieved that #Google has canceled their plans to lock-down #Android.
Why baffled? Because no such thing actually happened, the plans announced last August are still scheduled to take place. We see a battle of PR campaigns and whomever has the last post out remains in the media memory as the truth, and having journalists just copy/paste Google posts serves no one.
But Google said… Said what? That there’s a magical “advanced flow”? Did you see it? Did anyone experience it? When is it scheduled to be released? Was it part of Android 16 QPR2 in December? Of 16 QPR3 Beta 2.1 last week? Of Android 17 Beta 1? No? That’s the issue… As time marches on people were left with the impression that everything was done, fixed, Google “wasn’t evil” after all, this time, yay!
While we all have bad memories of “banners” as the dreaded ad delivery medium of the Internet, after FOSDEM we decided that we have to raise the issue back and have everyone, who cares about Android as an open platform, informed that we are running out of time until Google becomes the gate-keeper of all users devices.
Hence, the website and starting today our clients, with the updates of F-Droid and F-Droid Basic, feature a banner that reminds everyone how little time we have and how to voice their concerns to whatever local authority is able to understand the dangers of this path Android is led to.
We are not alone in our fight, IzzyOnDroid added a banner too, more #FDroid clients will add the warning banner soon and other app downloaders, like Obtainium, already have an in-app warning dialogue.

Super Bowl Ad TRICKING You Into Welcoming Surveillance State!
During the Super Bowl, you may have seen a commercial for #Amazon’s #Ring “Search Party” feature, which uses an emotional lost-dog story to encourage adoption of participation in what amounts to a widespread neighborhood #surveillance net. Jimmy points out that the ad masks #privacy risks tied to AI-driven #cameras, data sharing, and Amazon’s broader surveillance ecosystem, including concerns about opt-out defaults and government access.
He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger expand the discussion into a broader critique of social media and smart devices as tools of self-surveillance, suggesting public safety and convenience are being used to justify constant monitoring. Ultimately, it frames the commercial as emblematic of a growing surveillance state presented as benevolent technology.
