Well, for the first time ever, I got locked out of my Twitter account for retweeting a post.
A little stunned, but at the bottom of my screen is nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx welcoming me to #nostr full time. How poetic...
🥲 💜
TLDR: no more smart watch data harvesting back to basics this year. nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqpr9mhxue69uhhxetwv35hgtnwdaekvmrpwfjjucm0d5klqft7 is right smart watches are just another tracker and data collector harvesting your info to sell.
So for Christmas my present was the new version of a Casio protrek watch. I had tried a Garmin the previous year. While the functionality is great it just isn't my thing.
I've been working on improving my privacy practices and it was just another tracking beacon with an account tied to it. I didn't put all the demographic information into the account correctly or at all. Still it collected data on me for a year.
Needless to say back to an analog/digital dumb watch for me. Main thing I wanted it for was the barometer and compass function. I can just estimate the rest of the information I got from it.

nostr:npub1s33sw6y2p8kpz2t8avz5feu2n6yvfr6swykrnm2frletd7spnt5qew252p have you considered making a Bitcoin Knots video? Just a suggestion 😃 Would love to see a video on that!
Tried to zap this but couldn't 😢
Excellent points I've never even considered! Stoked to see how this all plays out
Ya good point. I appreciate that Freedom One tells you upfront when the federation will expire (at least on Mutiny Wallet, idk about Fedi). That way our normie friends know, "you have this much time to get your act together, and educate yourself on self custody." Dead lines are excellent catalysts for change/self improvement.
