I've had a lot of fun contributing to @commonwarexyz over the past few months, and it turns out if you keep sending PRs long enough, they eventually want to hire you 😅 Excited to be joining the team!

The Ethereum ecosystem is pretty much unusable on the browser unless you use Chrome (or its derivatives) and Metamask.

It's 2023 and people are still blind signing because no effort was put into solving this problem. These problems will keep happening, not on Polkadot though.
Ledger Library Exploit Explainer for Average Folks
What is going on with the recent alerts not to use dapps?
A library that is used by many dapps that is maintained by Ledger was compromised and a wallet drainer was added.
What do I do as a normal user?
Do not interact with any dapp front ends on websites for now. This is an ongoing situation and it is risky to use dapps currently if you don't understand what backend libraries they use.
How does this drain your money?
If you visit the website you won't get automatically drained or your funds. However, prompts from your browser wallet (like MM) will display that give your assets to the malicious actors.
Does Ledger know about this?
Yes they do and are working on it.
Note: Even after Ledger corrects the bad code in their library, projects using and deploying that library will need to update things before it is safe to use dapps that use Ledger's web3 libraries.
Disclaimer: This is my own opinion and not the opinion of any of my employers. Take this advice at your own risk.
Stay safe ♥️

Polkadot is live!
“Polkadot allows every coder to also be a businessman. They just place an algorithmic service online and it's a self-sovereign, autonomous, economically strong business. The world, in some sense, belongs to coders.” –– @gavofyork

Airport security in 2018, you must show your powerbank to board a plane, but no one asks you for an ID card. Seems like they got their priorities straight.

Thinking that what's preventing enterprise Ethereum adoption is the fact that it isn't written in Java is akin to thinking that initial computer adoption was slow because the keyboards didn't look like typewriters.

A person that cannot distinguish a hashing algorithm from encryption has authorative opinions on what PoW algorithm should be used for Ethereum. I wish I had this kind of confidence.
