  GrapheneOS (@GrapheneOS) reported 5 minutes ago

  @TechX1320 @linuxuser1996 PayPal works on GrapheneOS with the per-app compatibility mode. It recently started requiring disabling secure spawning but works fine with the other defaults. It's a bug in PayPal's anti-tampering code and they'll likely fix it soon. It's unrelated to it not working elsewhere.

  Look at the timeline and something clicks. May 2025, Coinbase drops x402 so agents can pay per request. September 2025, Google launches AP2 with over 60 partners including Mastercard and PayPal. January 2026, ERC-8004 hits Ethereum mainnet, almost 39,000 agents register in 90 days. May 2026, @Concordium’s Agent Registry goes live. June 2026, Proof introduces x401 to handle identity proof. That's five major pieces of agent infrastructure landing across just over a year, and the gaps between them keep shrinking. Payment, identity proof, runtime management, persistent registry, verified human anchor, each one built by a different team without waiting for the others to finish first. Nobody planned one unified system. It's assembling itself in public, piece by piece, weeks apart instead of years apart. That pace alone tells you something about how seriously the industry is taking this problem right now.

  Just pieced together the $KLAR boardroom saga. It deserves the long read. 2005: three students found Klarna — Siemiatkowski, Jacobsson, Adalberth. Their idea takes one of the last places at a business-plan competition. An angel funds them anyway. 2010: Sequoia invests. Michael Moritz — the man who wrote the firm’s checks into Yahoo, Google and PayPal, later Stripe — takes the board seat himself. 2012: Jacobsson leaves. Company worth roughly $1 BN. As far as I know he never builds anything again. Instead he spends 14 years quietly accumulating Klarna stock, using founder pre-emption rights to buy out other holders — much of it at down-round prices. By the IPO filing he holds 8.8% of the company. More than the CEO’s 7.4%. And he keeps a proxy on the board. 2015: Adalberth leaves too — sells most of his stake, builds a foundation, stays on good terms. That’s what a clean exit looks like. Remember the contrast. Meanwhile Siemiatkowski builds: Germany, the banking license, the US, 26 countries, 120m users. Before the IPO he borrows $112m against his own shares to buy MORE stock. At the $40 IPO he sells zero. July 2023: Moritz retires from Sequoia after 38 years — but keeps the Klarna chairmanship, now as a private individual. January 2024: Sequoia needs a new board rep. Enter Matt Miller, 12 years at the firm. Track record: one win (Confluent), one zero (Graphcore, written off in 2022). (Side note - compare it with what Moritz achieved as an investor) February 2024, six weeks into the seat: Miller files to remove Moritz as chairman — aligned with Jacobsson’s camp. Here’s the part I can’t get over. Miller inherited his firm seat from a man half the industry would work for free just to sit in the room with — and moved against him within six weeks. You can call it governance. The market called it something else… It lasts a week. Siemiatkowski flies to San Francisco. Sequoia withdraws the request and publicly apologizes: we fully support Michael as chairman. Miller is pulled off the board, by December he’s out of Sequoia entirely. Truly deserved. October 2024: the board votes out Jacobsson’s proxy after 8 years. Weeks later, Klarna files for its IPO. Then the epilogue. March 2026, lockup week, the overhang everyone feared: Moritz puts $49.9m of his own money in at an average of $14.37. August 2026, eight days after a guidance cut crushed the stock 23%: Siemiatkowski buys ~$10m at $14.37. Same price, six months apart, from the two people who know this company best. Moritz’s whole career is one repeated bet — back the unconsensus founder. Brin and Page. He says it himself in every interview. At $14 he made that bet again: his own money, against his own former firm’s coup, for the founder he’s watched for 16 years. Two camps fought for this company. One built it. The other accumulated it. The builders won every round — and then bought the dip. I’m long $KLAR. Pick your side.

  @solari_the They say cash is king, and it does grant you more freedom than a credit card or a PayPal account. Trouble is . . . products are not always available locally to buy with cash . . and online purchasing betrays your privacy.

  Kaz @nejatian on the biggest lesson he learned from Shopify CEO @tobi Lütke: There's only 3 rules you learn in business school: 1. Money is good 2. More money is better 3. Money now is better than money later "What ends up happening is: people very frequently sell future growth at a massive discount for today's stock price." "The result of that is PayPal. Over and over that company made the wrong decisions because they cared more about today than 10 years from now." "And guess what—it is now 10 years from now and the company’s in deep trouble." "Tobi had this wonderful mentality of applying essentially a zero discount rate to future growth." "He was like, 'Growth tomorrow or growth today, I’m indifferent. I will never sacrifice growth tomorrow for growth today.'" "What ends up happening is, because human beings always misunderstand compounding, you end up getting way higher growth later on." "It’s a very hard thing to do in practice because you have to look at a chart and say, 'Nah, I’ll take some of it later.' That’s very hard." "There are 2 SaaS companies that stand differently from the rest: Palantir and Shopify." "I think it’s partially because they do things that are just so different than every other company."

  If someone hacks your Gmail, they don't need your passwords. They can reset everything. Bank. Instagram. Apple ID. Crypto. PayPal. Password manager. Your Gmail isn't email. It's the master key to your entire life. Here's how to lock it down in 10 minutes: 🧵

  @robertromano @JonMalin 1. Go to PayPal Resolution Center, select the transaction, choose Report a Problem, then choose "Significantly Not as Described." Don't select "Unauthorized Activity," as PayPal will instantly deny the claim once they verify you authorized initial payment. Upload evidence. 1/2
