You do you, but I personally can’t do memes and jokes because of all the people affected. I won’t say they were “victims” per se because ultimately your keys are your responsibility. But they went out of their way to try to do what they thought was the right thing and still got hit, so I think they deserve some grace right now. Even “Don’t worry, open source fixes this” proved to be insufficient reassurance.

I think for sure they were victims, everyone has to delegate some trust But yeah I'm a weird guy I make jokes at a funeral too, I do it whenever I'm deeply uncomfortable

Alternative method for cold storage. The only cost is a USB stick. https://tails.net/about/index.en.html https://electrum.readthedocs.io/en/latest/coldstorage.html

'Your responsibility' and 'the tool was compromised' aren't mutually exclusive. Someone running air-gapped hardware with proper opsec still got hit — that's not hygiene failure, it's tool failure. Different problem, needs different post-mortem.

I know nothing about coding so I’m wondering how it’s possible that the rng was open source and used 32 bits instead of 128 and no one caught it for 5 years. From what I read it was a simple bug.

I hope Novak is seeking legal counsel. This is not one of those were time will make everyone forget intelligence agency will be all over this in no time.
