If our parliaments and governments are serious about improving robustness and preparedness, it is high time to leave old thought patterns such as Chat Control behind and instead back novel technologies such as asymmetric encryption and zero-knowledge proofs!

New piece out!

Regardless of whether I read reports from the European Commission, opinions from various IMF officials, or speeches by big wig central bankers, I am invariably reminded of Iain McGilchrist's hemispherical hypothesis.

A society dominated by the left hemisphere results in a pathological need for control. A more holistic perspective, taking into account the right hemisphere, would acknowledge that too much control can be detrimental and that financial freedom is a human right...

Perhaps the biggest crisis we are facing as a society is a severe lack of epistemic humility?

Be it Larry Ellison of Oracle, Larry Fink of BlackRock, Ursula von der Leyen, or why not the ECB's Christine Lagarde...

No worries. If I want GPS Tracking I can switch back to #meshtastic firmware. There is a plugin example for Sideband on Linux though. But having one on the RNode would be nice.

Martin Enlund 11mo ago

I've planned to play with IR sensors attached to RAK boards. I think that will be fairly easy with #Meshtastic (and to get the related events from the sensors into Home Assistant...).

I would like to try that with RNode's as well (especially given what I as possible w.r.t. telemetry in Sideband the past week). Perhaps RNode_Firmware_CE could include this at some point in time?

More eyeballs needed!

Is the use of internal modules for telemetry in #RNodes for #reticulum already implemented? In my case a GT-U7 GPS module connected to a Heltec LoRa V3. I havn't found something in the docs. #asknostr

Martin Enlund 11mo ago

Doesn't seem to be any support for GPS in the RNode firmware yet. Unless you've soldered it you could perhaps move the module to a Pi or similar?

Reposting for a couple reasons. First off, more reticulum stuff.

Second reason. This is a reason why I think bridges are valuable. I follow the reticulum hashtag and this person is not a nostr. They are coming from the fediverse. I would not see this if I was not using a bridge.

I love #Reticulum. And #nostr. Obviously.

Who's running these bridges, though?

From what I can tell.... they are all about the clicks on X and that is just not here yet. I think it may be getting close though.

Martin Enlund 11mo ago

Tradfi people at times have their bonuses partly dependent on how many clicks they generate. I should know, I was one of them.

She is right about how bad the system is and the risks from here but unfortunately can’t see how her own actions perpetuate it. I’m setting up a conversation with her to try to help.

We all create our own reality (that is real from our own perspective)

Lyn is great. I also like her takes.

Unfortunately, there is very little macro discussion here on #nostr… which makes me sad.

Onboarding tradfi people is difficult. I once (even) tried with Urbit...

I work for a major government and a year ago I decided I didn't like what I was seeing and what I was doing in my job.

So I decided to speak up. Since then, I've been on the TFTC podcast, have spoken at adopting Bitcoin in El Salvador, and just now did a session with Stefan Livera.

I can't stress enough the importance of what is happening. Countries are losing the ability to be self-sovereign and to decide what happens to their citizens, which means less accountability for you and for me on the policies that actually impact our lives.

Have a listen if you want to know more

Great discussion! I met many compliance officials in my days, generally nice people. Alas, I haven't met anyone who has dared to speak up publicly...

Inspired by Ronald Pol and David Graeber(!) I wrote a provocative piece on FATF last year (a version of which I also managed to get published in local mainstream media in Sweden).

Keep it up!

In your opinion, do AML laws do much to stop actual crime? If we didn't have them at all, would there be a big spike in crime?

I have some links to research into the topic in this piece.

> The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime estimated that only 0.2% of criminal proceeds are confiscated. Other estimates suggest a success rate from such anti-money laundering rules of 0.07% — a rounding error for organized crime.
