“Important: Google is locking down Android.

Starting Sept 2026, every app — even outside the Play Store — must come from a verified developer.

No more anonymous sideloads. No quick comebacks for malware gangs.

First up: Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand.”

And no indefinite access for illegal and anonymous messaging apps, especially ones with the scary hacker chic graphic design.

Protocols have no utility without apps to leverage them.

You can bury your head in the sand all you want; the facts remain the same. You can’t have a global scale permissionless ecosystem without the explicit permission of Apple and Google.

And if your aim is to change the world, you need global scale adoption to do it. That means unfettered access to be able to have your tools installed on the phones of anyone who wants that tool.

This is true also of bitcoin.

Bitcoin can’t change the world unless easy access to it is made available to billions of users.

Running away from this fact doesn’t make it go away; this fact must be confronted head on and the problem solved.

The only question is this: are you contributing to the solution of the problem or not? Or are you acting as a safety valve giving encouragement to people who don’t really understand the problem, so that they feel good today and divert their energy to something which cannot possibly win in the end and, leave us in a better world.

Let’s go! 🔥🔥🔥

The rabbits have eaten pretty much everything in the colony so now it's mostly exposed soil which isn't good. We have some ideas on how to keep more plants growing in the colony that we will hopefully try next year.

We haven't had much trouble with parasites, pests, or disease but the rabbits have only been in the colony for 3 seasons. We may run into trouble down the road.

I don't really know how to figure out the appropriate size for a colony. We just put rabbits into a system we already had to see what would happen and it worked.

Basically just used permaculture to tell us how to best utilize our rabbits and the area that we were growing the cannabis in.

The system utilizes a ton of permaculture principles:

Integrate rather than segregate (cannabis and rabbits in same place)

Value the marginal (used a failed hugel mound as burrows)

Slow and small solutions/change (built the system over the course of a couple years)

Obtain a yeild

Use and value renewable resources/materials (used fencing we already had)

Catch and store energy (positioned high on slope to manage nutrient flows)

There's freedom in #homesteading.

“I think if we want Bitcoin to be more than payments, it needs more scaling solutions,” said Vitalik Buterin...

But we don't want Bitcoin to be more than payments 😂

An act for establishing religious Freedom.

Whereas, Almighty God hath created the mind free;

That all attempts to influence it by temporal punishments or burthens, or by civil incapacitations tend only to beget habits of hypocrisy and meanness, and therefore are a departure from the plan of the holy author of our religion, who being Lord, both of body and mind yet chose not to propagate it by coercions on either, as was in his Almighty power to do,

That the impious presumption of legislators and rulers, civil as well as ecclesiastical, who, being themselves but fallible and uninspired men have assumed dominion over the faith of others, setting up their own opinions and modes of thinking as the only true and infallible, and as such endeavouring to impose them on others, hath established and maintained false religions over the greatest part of the world and through all time;

That to compel a man to furnish contributions of money for the propagation of opinions, which he disbelieves is sinful and tyrannical;

That even the forcing him to support this or that teacher of his own religious persuasion is depriving him of the comfortable liberty of giving his contributions to the particular pastor, whose morals he would make his pattern, and whose powers he feels most persuasive to righteousness, and is withdrawing from the Ministry those temporary rewards, which, proceeding from an approbation of their personal conduct are an additional incitement to earnest and unremitting labours for the instruction of mankind;

That our civil rights have no dependence on our religious opinions any more than our opinions in physics or geometry,

That therefore the proscribing any citizen as unworthy the public confidence, by laying upon him an incapacity of being called to offices of trust and emolument, unless he profess or renounce this or that religious opinion, is depriving him injuriously of those privileges and advantages, to which, in common with his fellow citizens, he has a natural right,

That it tends only to corrupt the principles of that very Religion it is meant to encourage, by bribing with a monopoly of worldly honours and emoluments those who will externally profess and conform to it;

That though indeed, these are criminal who do not withstand such temptation, yet neither are those innocent who lay the bait in their way;

That to suffer the civil magistrate to intrude his powers into the field of opinion and to restrain the profession or propagation of principles on supposition of their ill tendency is a dangerous fallacy which at once destroys all religious liberty because he being of course judge of that tendency will make his opinions the rule of judgment and approve or condemn the sentiments of others only as they shall square with or differ from his own;

That it is time enough for the rightful purposes of civil government, for its officers to interfere when principles break out into overt acts against peace and good order;

And finally, that Truth is great, and will prevail if left to herself, that she is the proper and sufficient antagonist to error, and has nothing to fear from the conflict, unless by human interposition disarmed of her natural weapons free argument and debate, errors ceasing to be dangerous when it is permitted freely to contradict them:

Be it enacted by General Assembly that no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burthened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief, but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinions in matters of Religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish, enlarge or affect their civil capacities. And though we well know that this Assembly elected by the people for the ordinary purposes of Legislation only, have no power to restrain the acts of succeeding Assemblies constituted with powers equal to our own, and that therefore to declare this act irrevocable would be of no effect in law; yet we are free to declare, and do declare that the rights hereby asserted, are of the natural rights of mankind, and that if any act shall be hereafter passed to repeal the present or to narrow its operation, such act will be an infringement of natural right.
