@gocu54 First, we need to determine what your Braille input mode is set to by going to Options, Settings, Braille Settings, Change the Input Prompt mode and set it to "Expect Computer Braille" and see if that fixes the problem.

Also, we should determine what locale you are using.
You can go to Options, Operating System, System Administration, Customize This BT Speak, Change the Locale. When you do this, what locale option is it pointing to?

This thing works by generating fake vulnerability reports. Here are some of the qualities of the HackerOne report 3125832 sent to #curl:
- It looks convincing at a glance, especially if you're not a subject matter expert.
- It's vague about actual repro steps. It makes it impossible for the victim project to reproduce the issue. For example, it makes up fake patches against non-existent, imaginary code.
- It refers to functions and methods that do not exist (in case someone tries to look for them). When confronted, the attacker refer to some old or new versions of components, using non-existent commit hashes.
- The report makes up some convincing functionality or names that are novel, but don't really exist.

An expert’s look at the report shows the number of discrepancies, but finding them takes time and effort. It requires attention from a subject matter expert, with limited resources.

The real exploit here is that the attacker (evilginx) exploits the fact that the victims (the orgs who paid the attacker money) don't have the capacity to perform thorough analysis and rather just pay up. TL;DR: It's cheaper to pay the bug bounty than hire an expert to perform true analysis.

Why didn't it work against the curl project? The attacker miscalculated badly. Curl project is not a company and has far greater capability in security response than your average org. Also they can smell #aislop miles away.

AI vulnerability/bug founds and reports is a huge problem. Curl has banned the use of AI-generated submissions via HackerOne because none of it made any sense, and is a waste of resources and time.

Encryption ensures integrity of ANY communication. Literally whole internet is based on it. If you temper with it at any point, it's not secure anymore. There is no "good guys" in encryption that should have the keys to peek inside. It's just encryption from start to end uninterrupted. Literally the fundamental part of everything online, secure shopping, secure voting, secure communication, private or of business nature.

If I use Gemini, which is how I'm transcribing stuff these days, it's different every time.

1. Build Shit, Fix You, and Sorry is Better and Body for you, for you.
2. Deal Sheet, Visual and solid, is better and body for you, for you
Let's try through Whisper:
They'll cheat this you and sorry it's better and party for you, for you.

A transcription I got earlier had something about "aesthetic", which I can actually hear if I listen now.

Good morning Fedi friends!

Please join me in giving a warm welcome to my interns Riyen (@patel.riyen) & Sam (@samaaberg). They will be working with me through the end of June on videos promoting the Fediverse. This is their #introduction.

Sam & Riyen are two talented film students who are #NewHere: a mere 7 days ago they had no idea what the Fediverse was. I have the immense honor of introducing them to it.

We are filming this week! Send us good vibes πŸŽ₯✨ #EleFediVideos

Three people sit on a couch. On the left: a young man with black hair and a beard wearing a black blazer and white pants; in the middle: a woman with long brown hair (me) wearing a blue and white striped t-shirt and blue jeans, holding a clapper with the text: "Fediverse Promo no.1 by Elena Riyen & Sam - May 2nd 2025"; on the right there is a young man with glasses and light brown hair wearing a red hooded sweatshirt. A bookshelf and various items are visible in the background.
