Where are they stored? I've no idea what you use so I can't say.

Taking action and leading has more impact than you can see friend. People will come to you later and ask you questions. They just need to come to their own realizations.

CalyxOS, graphene, volla phone, etc. Lots of choice

I disagree. You have a circle of influence and its up to you to bring these topics of discussion up within your circle.

"Voting harder" and bending over and "stacking sats " will lead to more of the same.

We all have power over our own lives and our own circles of influence. You can change your life and banish these rats from your digital home.

We are all prey to the comforts of the guilded cage that's being built around us. Don't be harsh on others, instead educate them and invite them to the right side of history.

Fucking lazy cucks the whole lot.

No. Apple products and new Android products have npu chips, neural processing chips that scan everything you do. You're screwed if you use a new phone that uses the ios and android operating systems.

Solution: get a degoogled device and stop being lazy and a prey to "but iPhone is so convenient" mentality.

Why are people not more concerned about the UK's recent action towards Apple? The UK asked Apple to grant it access to all data of every global iPhone user around the world. That's huge.

Yes, that means you if you use an Apple phone and you use the iCloud. No matter where you are, The UK wants access to everything about your personal life.

And it gets worse. This isn't just for the UK. The UK has a treaty with other countries like Australia and Canada and the US and are able to instantaneously exchange information amongst themselves.

What the hell is wrong with us that a simple bitcoin price dip suddenly takes all of our attention while these kinds of despicable, disgusting, and insane things are happening around us???

This is like granting a government full access to your house without a warrant or even the courtesy of knocking or even the courtesy of letting you know they're coming in. They can instantaneously access all of your life without you even knowing it. What the hell???

And you can bet this isn't limited to Apple and includes Google Android as well. At least Apple had the decency to leak the request.

So what the hell people, let's stop talking about stupid things like the price of Bitcoin, and let's start really bringing up these kind of topics in our circles.

Translation; there are rumors that the usa hasn't handled its bitcoin custody properly and may have lost access to wallets with sizeable holdings.

I wouldn't put it past the prior administration to have had a boating accident to deny Trump access to bitcoin.

And iOS is already doing this as well. DeGoogled Android is the only way to go.

Anyone here reading this and using ios or stock android should be ashamed of themselves.

Did you know nostr:nprofile1qqsvnx99ww0sfall7gpv2jtz4ftc9v6wevgdd7g4hh7awkpfvwlezugpzdmhxue69uhhqatjwpkx2urpvuhx2ue0chkv5c now has a blockchain/shitcoin built in (called Flux)?

Did you know they've also started doing "content moderation"—blocking users, groups and 3rd party servers?

Yeah, so far it's only to stop CSAM distribution but we all know how that's a slippery slope. The good old "Think of the children" tactic. If there's a method to ban, block or censor, it will be used and ABUSED.

SimpleX Chat may have good #privacy but it's not decentralized, neither censorship-resistant. They also seem too concerned with complying with Google/Apple stores—“(...)there are requirements we have to comply with that exist outside of law, e.g. requirements of application stores.”

I also found out they are getting funded by VCS such a Village Global ( https://www.villageglobal.vc/ ), which have backers such as Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and Anne Wojcicki and others.

This is not freedom tech. I'm out. DYOR.

I supported simplex, I was mistaken.

Avoid.

I know people aren’t fans of seeing X content on here, but this is too insane not to share… WTF is wrong with Europe?

“The dangers of A.I. are abstract for many people, but for me, they are very real.

In two weeks, I face years in prison because the government used an A.I. tool on a groupchat I was allegedly a member of and which was literally called "shitposting".

Their A.I. tool gave every message a 'toxicity score' and concluded most of the messages were toxic.

One of my alleged messages was "Some cultures are inferior, backwards cultures that still practice Female Genital Mutilation, for example". This message got a 100/100 toxicity score and 100/100 for sexism and 100/100 for racism. Yes, this was considered sexist by the A.I. (a punishable offence in Belgium)

Almost all of the messages the A.I. bot concluded to be 'toxic', are completely wrong. Every sentence that included "an African" was deemed racist, for example. Every sentence with "leftist tears" got 100/100 toxicity.

I (allegedly) quoted a black journalist who said something racist, but the A.I. bot does not understand this and attributed the quote to me, adding to the 'total toxicity score' that got me 1 year in jail and a 16.000 EUR fine.

There is no serious way to defend yourself against this, as the Public Prosecutor will use the 'Total Toxicity Score' as his 'evidence', instead of going over all the supposedly toxic quotes.

The Public Prosecutor's definition of 'shitposts' is also crazy: "Shitposts are deliberately insulting messages ment to provocate".

My appeal is next week.”

I'm sorry but this cannot be real.

Its obvious what's happening: coinbase is the custodian for the majority of this bitcoin and coinbase is engaged in bitcoin leveraging party tricks.

Goldbugs have seen the price of gold manipulated like this with paper gold for decenia. It's now being put in place for btc because all these large holders are using one single custodian.

Audit Coinbase and the problem solves itself.
