I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating. Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers. What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.…

📰 Pavel Durov gave an interview to Lex Fridman — an American blogger originally from present-day Tajikistan. The interview lasts 4 hours, which is a record for Durov. Topics of discussion: principles of messenger development, fight against censorship, cryptocurrency…

📰 Telegram, acting on behalf of the account +42777, personally sent the message to all users whose accounts are or were linked to a French number. This incident is not isolated, but the 5ᵗʰ such mass mailing. 🇫🇷📱 Thanks to this user for private message about this.

Le fondateur de Telegram, qui fête aujourd’hui ses 41 ans, a accordé une interview exclusive au podcasteur américain Lex Fridman.

Dans cet échange, Pavel Durov revient sur son interpellation à Paris en août 2024 — une affaire que Lex décrit comme « l’un des plus graves abus de pouvoir jamais exercés contre un dirigeant de la tech » (voir 0:56:50, section « Arrest in France »).

Ils évoquent aussi les défis propres à la France — une politique qui freine les entrepreneurs, un État trop lourd et des obstacles économiques persistants à l’innovation (voir 1:23:56, section « Power and corruption »).

Au fil de la conversation, ils abordent également les sujets du mode de vie sain, de la liberté, des affaires, du pouvoir, de l’intelligence artificielle et de l’avenir de l’humanité — un dialogue riche et sans filtre entre deux esprits indépendants.

📉 At midnight Moscow time, $TON fell to $0.5 per token.

The crypto market plunged sharply, erasing $821 billion in value as major coins fell up to 50%. Over $11 billion in positions were liquidated within 24 hours — a record high. The crash followed Donald Trump’s announcement of a 100% tariff on all Chinese goods starting November 1, 2025, sparking fears of a global market fallout.

📰 Dima Karaush published an unsupported story in beta version 12.1 on the test server. It remains to guess what new will be added there, maybe… paid stories? 🤔

📰 These are not paid stories, these are Live Stories, which can be viewed in version 12.1.1. The developer is not broadcasting live stories (not loading) at the moment.

Telegram 12.1 Redesign Review: Is It Really That Bad? 🪟 Telegram has introduced a redesign for the concept of all 26 Apple operating systems, called Liquid Glass. It is a living material that has some kind of physics and is able to react to touch, refract light, and so on. You can read about the best design in the world in the Apple Newsroom.

😔 In the first release, liquid glass cannot be called liquid glass, and that's why:
1️⃣ The redesign is partial. The first photo shows absolutely all the interface elements that have been redesigned. Not anymore. No context menu has been revived, and the list of topics has only been touched on the side. Everything that has not been redesigned remains in the flat-design (iOS 7-18), and the mixture with liquid glass does not look very good.
2️⃣ There is practically no animation. Except for the toolbar, which has the behavior of liquid glass. The topics simply collapse when switching. There is no reaction to the touch, and you can not pull the buttons like rubber.
3️⃣ Baits in the demos. Buttons in the settings are not rounded in reality. The @askplexbot bot did not receive the topics feature, and yet the animation does not match even the latest beta version 12.1.1, where it simply unfolds from the sidebar of the topic.

✨ Well, the good news. The icon has been updated not only for TestFlight (photo 2). The blog says that the redesign will continue gradually, which I really hope for. It's understandable, because the team is small.

#tip: If you use Telegram widgets on iOS 26, it is not recommended to include icons for "tinted" and "clear" when configuring the Home screen. The consequence is in the photo.
