Apple store only offered blockchain wallet. And some sats went missing. I switched to android. Thank goodness.

Covid (not the disease, the event)

I agree. Covid changed everything for me too.

💯

It’s a single event, but I think this documentary can be enough for someone to want to take ownership of their data, and adopt more privacy friendly plateforms/protocols.

Great doc

Yeah ! One of my favorites ! It’s mind boggling to see how much manipulative psychology practices are implemented in those popular social media platforms!

Good documentary!

Every time I realized bought something I didn't need from super targeted IG ads + every hour that I lost mindlessly doom scrolling + noticing the amount of mental willpower it takes to A) catch myself and B) rip myself away from it = the feeling that my time is being stolen and I'm at the mercy of an algorithm

Zombie behaviour! I don't like that version of myself.
