Eating your own dog food is the part that most people who larp about freedom or "censorship resistance", skip. I personally now use Nostr more than all the other social media platforms combined. Not only has this made me productive, due to the absence of manipulative algos, but that also strengthened my resolve when it comes to putting my money where my mouth is. Awesome piece of work as usual Max! Keep up the good work

"What works is building over arguing. The cypherpunks had it right: code beats law. A working alternative accomplishes more than a thousand essays about why alternatives should exist. Too many decades have been spent explaining why freedom matters to people who do not want to hear it. Better to spend that time creating systems that make freedom the default for anyone who chooses to use them."

It's time to build!

Just like how banks were deputized by the state to collect your financial info, schools are being used to collect your child's data and build psychological profiles on them that will remain in the control of the powers that be and will never be deleted. Most parents are oblivious to the dangers of this because they just think it's "technology the 21st century way". If ever there was a time to opt out with homeschooling or similar, it's now.

Money (inc Bitcoin) is simply a tool that enables you to make purchases that enhance the quality of your life and save time. Every stacking goal should be made from that perspective, imho. nostr:note1svhzezf8e5up7zp8uhx98lp5hz03zrwmd2spwlxp89z4uhfcf0usl3ap9h

This NPD becomes a huge cause for concern when you start thinking 20 years ahead, and you then realize that the state by then will have data and individual profiles on all its citizens. This has nothing to do with any of the stated objectives imho, it seems like pre-crime infrastructure that will eventually be paired with your digital ID

Previous generations attended school without providing permanent biological samples. They weren't required to submit their physical bodies to identification systems in order to eat lunch or borrow books. The current generation experiences this as normal, which means they'll accept it as normal in workplaces, shops, transport systems, and public spaces as adults.

Is this a primarily nostr based platform or it also includes non Nostr based businesses?

hahaha! So you jumped from part 1 to part 3?

Thank you 😊🤝

The fiat life has convinced them that it is and soon they will be patenting prompts

I am now starting to play with the idea that even saying “the govt exists to protect your rights” is a flawed notion. If the state is the organisation that has monopoly of violence over a given territory (ie an official mafia) that means when the state violates these rights they are supposed to protect you have no recourse. If you ask me, I would say the gvt is the biggest violator of human rights and freedoms of all the criminal organisations globally. The bigger question is, is it possible to protect your rights or for individuals to protect their rights without the state’s involvement? I think it is.

“For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.”

Romans‬ ‭6‬:‭14‬ ‭#gm #biblestr

“And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: but if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God. And to him they agreed: and when they had called the apostles, and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.”

Good morning 😇☀️☕️ #gm

That’s very interesting and not to mention the fact that companies like JnJ and Pfizer used to own cosmetics brands once upon a time 🤔🤔from that angle the classification makes even more sense

Skills can be learned, maybe it’s the time constraint that could be the bigger issue. Anyway if you do change your mind, you already have at least one listener here ☺️I had never made the cosmetics and women connection with regards to the susceptibility to psyops. More so how they played a role in the clot shot uptake. That’s very interesting and will dig further into it and perhaps pen a piece about it.🤔

Merricks Farmhouse

#architecture

Architects: Michael Lumby Architecture, Nielsen Jenkins

Area: 640 m²

Year: 2021

Photographs: Tom Ross

Builders: Atma Builders

Landscape Design: Franchesca Watson Garden Designer, Robyn Barlow

Landscape: Julian McCarthy Landscapes

Architect: Michael Lumby with Nielsen Jenkins

Country: Australia

This house is located on a spectacular 50-acre property with views over vineyards towards Philip Island and Western Port Bay and is conceived of as an abstraction of a typical Australian Farmhouse.  While sitting on a prominent hilltop affords it the best views, it also means that the house is somewhat exposed to the coastal climate of the region.

Spread out over a single level, the program of the house is arranged to counter this, creating a large and sheltered courtyard garden in its center.  This courtyard becomes the most important room in the house, acting as a reference and refuge from the expansive nature of the outlook, as well as an introspective focal point for the house once night falls.  The heft of the walls, deep eave overhangs, and dark ceiling finishes further enhance this experience of refuge within the broader context.

Although it is a large house with only 2 permanent residents, the project needs to expand and contract as 4 children with their respective families visit for holidays.  3/4s of the house can be shut down, allowing all the house's ancillary functions to be experienced simply as a courtyard wall. The front wing then, with all the main living spaces, functions as a simple one-bedroom pavilion, affording the house a spatial intimacy that belies its size.

While the roof is conceived of as a singular and sleek element, visible in the landscape, the walls it is placed on are seen as more elemental in nature.  1m thick and planted, these walls project out into the landscape, editing and choreographing views and circulation.  While most of these projecting walls frame views outward, when adjacent to more private spaces, they wrap back around to capture private courtyards, giving even intimate spaces a floor-to-ceiling outlook over greenery.

This is a constant theme: The architecture recedes and the building acts simply as a lens from which to experience the landscape.  Every room looks out onto a garden.  Wherever possible, the design and siting was informed by the existing trees.  The old driveway entry avenue of Elms was retained and repurposed as the main pedestrian entry sequence.  The old windbreak of lilly-pillies to the north of the pool was retained to create a ‘full stop’ to the house, a second, softer courtyard with a wall of trees as an edge.

As the site has no council mains, all of the site’s domestic water is captured by the large, singular roof and stored in circular concrete water tanks.  This ubiquitous item of farming infrastructure is taken through the project as a motif, and used throughout the garden spaces as birdbaths, a firepit, and a series of ponds, each becoming points of reference within the landscape.

While I am more of a classical architecture kinda guy, this looks decent especially for a farmhouse. Quite unique too
