When you drive a car and complain about high gas prices, this is the end result of that logic by the way. A society that demands cheap, stable fossil fuels will eventually outsource violence to maintain it.
"The digital Euro is not just a means of payment, it is also a political statement concerning the sovereignty of Europe and its capacity to handle payment, including on a cross-border basis, with a European infrastructure and solution.” 💶🇪🇺
Yea I want to take the work out of defending my privacy. Public use laws were from a time when cameras weren’t 24/7, prolific, and with infinite data retention. And it’s only getting worse.
I want the opposite of Meta glasses. Like one that blasts infrared and other bands to disrupt hostile surveillance glasses from working.
What hackers are working on devices that will disrupt Meta glasses and the like from working and scanning and your face?

LLMs are not plotting, they’re drifting. They echo patterns, not intent. Yet we mistake their coherence for mind. The mirror shows us ourselves, not hidden will. Next time you look, ask not what you see, but who is looking?

“Google announced Monday the removal of nearly 11,000 YouTube channels and other accounts tied to state-linked propaganda campaigns from China, Russia and more in the second quarter.” — https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/21/youtube-channels-propaganda-china-russia.html
Bitcoin is at an all-time high again and it’s absolutely fascinating to see co-constructed value like this in real time. What you as an individual think about btc doesn’t matter; countertrade assets are socially traded. Bitcoin exposes the core of the monetary phenomenon. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/17cd62887b3ad563780df894272e27a8200d1ce56226d88f570cf7cf061ac390/bbaacec40e81bd1ea62b9b0badff670ec860e1e4e5b8d1fd0febeabaa4c94ebd.webp
I know I need to work on the top which looks like a pencil lmao but I can’t believe how well the spring growth on my coastal redwood bonsai is doing!

“Tokenizing” everything from real-world assets onchain to info in AI renders complex realities into units systems can compute, monitor, and control. As in Seeing Like a State, abstraction enables scale but also disciplines behavior and concentrates power. Foucault warned us!
The thing is, there aren’t even many of us soy boys left. Most have become oat boys. 😔
Ok but the watermarks are helpful because there are browser extensions that warn you / filter them out / etc ! nostr:note1qfqx2le4f8q6smxn7kyazmxwf79p57kjrdfvyrmsvz8c0qz9j3fsyfwgnq

Can’t wait for when all mining is done with renewables. This is great.
