I don't vote for a leader as I am capable of leading myself just fine

Also if they have any gold reserves, it might disappear like it has disappeared from Libya.

Happy 17th Birthday #Bitcoin! 🎊🎉

How private and secure is your #E2EE with someone that has #ScreenContentScanning (#ClientScanning) on their phone?

To compromise our #privacy they only have to compromise one side of the communication .

To keep your communication private, both sides of the communication needs to follow the #PrivacyHygiene on their phone.

How will one pay the #CarbonTax when they get cremated after they die? 🤔 From inheritance?

It's at a point now where it's almost impossible for me to use the "regular" internet. I can't access half the sites. The reason? I care about my digital hygiene and thus use a VPN. Sometimes switching to a different VPN or switching the country of the VPN works; other times it does not. Oh well, I guess I'm not going to watch that video, or read that article, or look at that picture. Whatever.

In addition to that, if I'm not blocked completely, I have to prove that I'm human every step of the way. Captchas, re-captchas, Cloudflare checkboxes, the whole shebang. I am human. I promise. And I am very annoyed. Outright angry, even. I doubt that any robot will ever be as annoyed as I am right now about the current state of the internet.

What annoys me most, actually, is that all these measures don't really work. There's bots everywhere. Robots get access to the stuff anyway, using farms of humans, just like in the good old days of WoW gold farming. The centralized "safety" nets of Cloudflare et al brought down large swaths of the internet multiple times in the last couple of weeks alone, and as things centralize more and more these outages will happen more and more.

I'm very close to breaking up with the legacy internet. I'm human, I can cryptographically prove that I'm human, and I have sats to spend. But the legacy internet doesn't care about that. It cares about farming me and my data, while annoying me to no end. I've been nostr only for a while now, but that was only on the "social media" side. 2026 might be the year where I go nostr-only for everything, or to phrase it slightly differently: permissionless for everything.

No more "are you human?"

No more "I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that."

No more cookie banners, paywalls, and AI slop.

No more being treated like a child.

Even if it means that I'll have to self-host everything.

Even if it means that I'll have to build & maintain stuff myself.

Even if it means that it's a lot of work and pain.

Nothing worth having ever comes easy.

But the easy stuff is not worth having in the first place.

Here's to the year to come, and the new corner of the internet, build on cryptography and webs-of-trust. Real value. Real connections. Real humans.

Here's to nostr.

Perhaps if everything, which is not accessable using VPN is considered propaganda stuff, it will be way easier to filter it out just by using VPN, right?

Best option is not to buy a TV at all. Second best option, if you cannot live without it, is to buy a monitor instead and plug it in into Raspberry Pi or mini PC, which gives you more control.

And here is a recent example. Border patrol agent using private recording media (Meta Glasses) while caring for his own privacy.

It's funny to see how legacy #media promote paper products to people who are looking to invest in #gold and #silver.

Looking for gold and silver? Buy this paper. Right?

True, but most people don't even understand why they should fight it. First they need to feel the pain.

You want to board a plane without your face being scanned? Now in Bangkok you cannot opt-out. But hey, it is fast and easy, right?

When gold, silver or any other commodity skyrocket, they are silent. Typical.

Or judge, being paid by the government from tax payer's money, makes a ruling...

Teens and kids are the easiest target. They haven't been burned by the government yet.

South Africa, Northern Cape region, somwhere south-east of "Die Bos" city I would guess.

We the People are paying for all the things that #enslave us. From drones that are flying above our heads in an anti-#ICE protests to applications that take our biometric data that are stored for (proclaimed) 15 years.

Yes, people value their privacy over others.

Will it be still possible to install any APK via ADB CLI?

Kids who do not go to school might be **uneducated**, while kids going to school end up being **indoctrinated**.

People not watching state media news are **uninformed**, while those watching state media news are being **misinformed**.

#propaganda #indoctrination

Holding #Fiat you are **guarantied to lose** 100%, while holding #Gold or #Bitcoin you have **at least** 50/50 chance to succeed.

Most younger people cannot even know the names of those two persons. And since they didn't live long enough they still believe governments.

From what I understand, Cloudflare is effectively man-in-the-middle that can technically read communications between you and the actual service.

So it turned out that I am most likely just running older version of Bitcoin Core v28.0.0 via some Libre Relay. That's how confusing all this is for a regular person.

Need to find out time to switch again to actual Bitcoin Knots (https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/releases) or stay at v28 for now. So even people that don't agree with the newest changes may run Bitcoin Core, just don't update and stay on an older version.

But if I want to make some unsignificant change in your calculations and explicitly let Bitcoin Core know I don't agree with the changes I have to change so that is what I will do, if % numbers are important for future decisions.

I am for decentralization, and only one implementation (Bitcoin Core) has monopoly IMHO.

Didn't US said they would obtain BTC without costing a dime to its citizens?

I would assume younger generation like it and hopefully make them more engaged. I rather prefer how the product works over a logo design. It is subjective anyway. I get your point, but on the other hand its uniqueness will not cause confusion with another brands.

Yet another spy device that we have no control over just because the person wearing them thinks (s)he is cool and trandy. Now I start to understand what benefits can burka and nikab in arabic nations have.

They will also be leaking so much of companie's inside info too.

Same for me. Tried login in via Amber and without it. Crashes all the time even turning Tor off. Do you test before releasing? I had to downgrade to Google Play version. And I hate Google, let me tell you! Next time I will not rush with the upgrade. 😮‍💨

How I see it. 🫢

US wrote to the UK: "Let's not do it. It would cause more harm than good for us. People, knowing you can read it, will relocate conversations elsewhere or encrypt them before sending them and we will not be able to continue reading them. Not to mention what it would do to the Apple sells. Just requests what data you want and we will provided for you. We are the Five Eyes after all, no?" 🤝

Just little bit off-topic. Aren't the push notification messages sent via Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging servers with the message payload being unencrypted as it usually does? I am not talking about the connection to the FCM and to the Android device, but the actual message itself, which can be captured there? 🤔
