Going through old saved pics and totally forgot about my Animal Crossing villager's um, "journey" over the course of the pandemic.
3 passport photos from Animal Crossing: New Horizons. First (left) picture: default Villager. Second (center) picture: more disheveled, masked and tired-looking Villager. Third (right) picture: Villager wearing cat ears, a full-face gas mask, wearing a suit and holding an axe.

Paxos accidentally mints more than twice the global GDP in PayPal stablecoins

Paxos accidentally mints more than twice the global GDP in PayPal stablecoins
Paxos, the issuer of PayPal's PYUSD stablecoin, accidentally minted 300 trillion of the supposedly dollar-pegged token. For context, this is approximately 2.5x the global GDP, and around 125x the total number of US dollars actually in circulation.
Paxos later announced that the mint was an "internal technical error", and that they had burned the excess tokens.
While PayPal promises its customers that "Reserves are held 100% in US dollar deposits, US treasuries and cash equivalents – meaning that customer funds are available for 1:1 redemption with Paxos," there clearly isn't much in the way of safeguards to ensure that is always the case. As with most stablecoin issuers, Paxos merely issues self-reported and unreviewed portfolio reports, and monthly third-party attestations (not audits) of reserves.

There are several options but here's the short version:

You can extend your support for Windows 10 for an extra year while you go over your options long term, BUT it will require signing up for a Microsoft account even if you take the paid option.

PLEASE DO NOT RUN WINDOWS 10 UNSUPPORTED.

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

Greta Thunberg: “Israeli soldiers hit, kicked, starved, and tortured me”

• They placed a flag next to me, and anytime the flag touched me, they kicked me
• Whenever I raised my head to look at Ben-Gvir, I was kicked
• She was filmed while stripped naked

Oh lol I thought she was trying to flee there.

She is simply trying to do a little hate tour over there and Australia said no. She fought that no in court and lost and now has to pay the country’s legal fees to keep her out lmao. 🤡

Far-right U.S. influencer Candace Owens has lost her bid to enter Australia after the country’s highest court backed the government’s decision to deny her a visa over concerns she could “incite discord” in the community.

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Update: Bari Weiss’s first pitch at CBS — a roundtable with Antony Blinken, Mike Pompeo, and Hillary Clinton that ended up being a virtual interview with Clinton & Condoleezza Rice — has about 150 viewers on YouTube.

Added with the 24/7 CBS stream, it’s just over 1200 viewers.

Let’s be honest, a total ban would be the objectively correct thing to do with a machine built from the stolen work of collective humanity.

But also, this bit about sexual conversations with minors, is the same thought process which lead to Meta Ai using a lexicon of grooming terms for 8 year olds
Screenshot of the AP News article linked in the quote post, it reads,

The bill would have banned companies from making Al chatbots available to anyone under 18 years old unless the businesses could ensure the technology couldn't engage in sexual conversations or encourage self-harm.
"While I strongly support the author's goal of establishing necessary safeguards for the safe use of Al by minors, (the bill) imposes such broad restrictions on the use of conversational Al tools that it may unintentionally lead to a total ban on the use of these products by minors," Newsom said.
