In case y'all didn't know, Grok over on X has been helping people to strip pictures of children and other way uncool stuff. Not going to link to it.

Trying to bring this account back to life and bring others over to Nostr from X.

What have I missed here over the last year or so?

Seriously?

That's pretty weak.

He could have had a hand in driving engagement 🤣

Whatever happened to nostr:nprofile1qqsgfhhxuemwtwm8kjk5uppv7uxtmp5pz4wm2dv59lxx5pfnsk98ysqpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsy9r3u6 on Nostr? 🤔

Remember back when Bitcoiners would have lost their shit at the idea of ETFs shilling paper Bitcoin instead of cheering it on? 🫣

So, I've been experimenting with making AI music for my community. As someone without a technical musical bone in my body, this honestly has been a revelation.

I feel like I've been given a prosthetic for a limb I never had. It's been so incredibly exciting and freeing!

I write all of my lyrics myself and use a service called SUNO to turn them into music (which is way more involved than it sounds lol)

Anyway, I hope you don't mind if I share some of them with you over the next little while!

This first one I'm going to share here is one that I love quite a bit. It's called:

Mental Health is a Hell of a Drug

I hope you dig it!

Glad to see you here!

Hope to see you go real hard in the paint now.

Hackers and cypherpunks don't sell magazines anymore - and people are barely buying magazines as it is.

Welp, that was a read...

On one hand, permissionless means permissionless on the other this reads like the beginning of a hostile takeover.

The ones with the most to gain will try to sell you on Proof of Stake for its "environmental benefits" but will leave out the part where it allows them to become parasites on your network, extracting wealth and gaining control over the future of your money.

5 Android Apps to turn you into a Ghost

1. ClassyShark3xodus

ClassyShark3xodus is used to detect if another app you downloaded has spyware or trackers. ClassyShark3xodus scans the app for DNS requests or communication with Big Tech.

2. Fake Traveler

Some apps require GPS location, even when you don’t want to reveal it. Fake Traveler allows you to spoof your location to a place of your choosing to fool apps into thinking you’re there. Smaller community banks will fall for this, but for large ones, the bank’s app won’t load.

3. Scrambled Exif

Smartphones automatically tag pictures with GPS location metadata called “Exif.” So when you post a photo to Instagram or Facebook, the company knows where you live even though you’re using a VPN. Scrambled Exif allows you to remove this metadata conveniently before you post or send it.

4. Duress

Duress automatically wipes your phone when you enter a particular 2nd passphrase. Now, we discourage criminal activity, however some governments in some countries around the world may act illegally or against their own constitution to search devices they are not permitted to. Therefore, to honor and respect these human rights laws, as well as to protect whistleblowers globally, we recommend you tell corrupt police officers asking you to unlock your phone your 2nd Duress password.

5. andOTP

Two factor authentication is often a source of leaking your geolocation. AndOTP is way better than Google Authenticator because Google’s is proprietary and even though it works offline, may connect to Google accounts. Google is evil and locks you in where you can’t transfer to a different app because there’s no backup code. But andOTP works on any site that says “Google Auth” or TOTP.

(KeePass XC on Linux is better than both of these btw.)

All of these are in the open source F-Droid Store. Follow us on Nostr for more tips!

Can ClassyShark actually do anything other than detect? If it can't block those trackers directly can it make specific recommendations as to how you can stop said spyware or trackers?
