i really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really dislike accounting...

...which is ironic because it's literally all that Bitcoin does.

Do you understand why more and more injustice is being done by states to their citizens, taxes are higher than ever and citizens do nothing about it?

Because you have given all your data to the big tech companies, sold your life to Facebook, Instagram and other shit, and now your behavior is predictable.

The states know more than ever how far to squeeze and they will do it continuously and inexorably until you won't have any rights or wealth left.

Think about it.

> credit card payment

Does anyone know of any service to use GitHub Copilot in an anonymous manner? To quote someone who reached out to me: “I'm reluctant to link my GitHub account with my IRL identity via a credit card payment.”

If you get along well, you could ask to cultivate veggies in her garden. Gardening is a great activity too, besides saving a bunch on high quality groceries.

For meat, I recommend buying directly from a farmer if possible

Right, asi I said, I believe it could be done in a more dc entralized wqy, however I appreciate even the small step, when it's in the right direction, which I believe it is.

For a moment when you said X I thought Twitter 🤦‍♂️. Node on a phone is good for p2p payments if you’re not already running a node, agreed. Idk what purpose relays on a phone will serve 😂 maybe for ephemeral events? Signalling? Routing? Idk it’s new hardware I’m sure we can find some use for it 😛

Do you have any specific ailments in mind?

I don't get it , what is going on here ? Why are people putting locks on a telegraph post ?

I suspect so, but wasn't able yet to actually investige how true that suspicion is. Given that Louis has given it his face and credibility, I have taken a leap of faith without checking all that much beforehand.

I have a little app recommendation. It's called Grayjay and is supposed to be more or less a multimedia subscription hub put together by Louis Rossman (the right to repair guy) or tbp his team.

The idea behind the app is, that you subscribe to people independent of the respective platforms. You get all your spotify, soundcloud, youtube, rumble or odysee subscriptions in one place.

Interestingly enough, I am watching a video from YT in the Grayjay app on my phone in background with no ads without having to have any adblocker, premium or even an account.

In the future there may be better solutions, possibly nostr based, but right now I believe this is a good step forward that can help break platform dependence of creators thus making it easier for them to eventually switch over to any foss and/or decentralized solution.

Right now the grayjay app is in it's early alpha, so it's missing a lot of features, some things feel really clunky and all that, but that should get better soon. Meanwhile I believe it's important to show up, give it a try and help out at least by providing feedback and helping the numbers grow.

The Plaid settlement should have been a bigger deal for privacy advocates and the general public, the fact that it wasn’t, was a good read on the room

TL;DR most people don’t care about their banking privacy

I like this. Bitcoin Magazine telling the FED to fuck off.

The effort it takes to write a reply is proof of work. To hit the like button isn’t.

Zaps show you are willing to depart w some energy to show appreciation, to write a thoughtful reply is the similar.

I did think your point was interesting, but is a false equivalence to my thinking.

Get rid of the ‘likes’ in primal. Likes are a fiat phenomenon, zero skin in the game.
