⚡️💬 Some people say: "If I were rich, I'd buy a house".

To be honest, I think I'd buy a cave, as it's the best place to live in our time.

Good Morning Nostr.

Tried to recreate some customized meme templates with AI, but it keeps showing my left ear even when I tell it not to. Pretty bearish on the AI overlord scenario coming anytime soon.

Anyway, how's your Saturday going?

If you can taste a soapy cilantro on a dish, the chef fucked up.

is there a word for:

i have spent 18 months on a video, investing way too much time, mental energy and money into it

and i'm worried that i still haven't hit the mark

i am starting to hate it + my own face narrating it... but at some point you have to hit publish.

The UK government quietly tried to force Apple to break its own encryption. Apple said no.

Now WhatsApp is backing Apple in court, warning the move could shatter digital privacy for everyone, everywhere.

Because if Apple caves, or loses, it’s not just British iCloud accounts at risk. It’s all of them. There’s no such thing as a "UK-only backdoor."

⚡️ FUCK WINDOWS - I'm a little ashamed to tell you why I've been very inactive today, but it's a scandal!

I bought a used Thinkpad (I plan to take nostr:nprofile1qqsy67zzq5tc9cxnl6crf52s4hptdwhyaca5j7r8jwll535tdadedvcpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3qamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skueqxd28ts to the next level), when I first turned it on I did everything properly, but they forced me to create an Outlook account to activate Windows. Today I spent a lot of time trying to remove my Outlook account from my Microsoft pc account, impossible to find so I ask their AI "copilot" he gives me outdated documentation I lose patience and I decide to do a reinstallation of the complete system so that I make rather a local account during my reset rather than an account linked to Outlook I wait several minutes and arrives at 100% the reinstallation of the operating system has bug he offers me to cancel.

In a fit of nerves I find a way to delete my Outlook account completely (which will only be effective in 60 days) I accept. BUT IT REMAINS IN MY WINDOWS as an administrator account.

The solution is chatGPT which gives it to me in a bit of a rogue mode (I've already published the prompt) which tells me to disconnect your pc from the internet and it's only then that Windows suggests you create a local account otherwise it's impossible.

I end up creating a local account, I make it administrator, I reboot and I finally manage to delete this Microsoft account linked to my Outlook. At the same time, I purge my PC of all the crap like teams, onedrive, and the whole office suite. I don't want to hear any more about these Trojans.

I was this close to sticking a magnet on my SSD ( I know it worked on HDDs back in the day)

Before I press publish, I almost forgot: yes, I know Linux, but unfortunately I can't play with it, which is the only thing that stops me every time.

This is the scariest book I have ever read in my entire life.

Palantir co-founder Alex Karp calls for what can only be described as a new national socialism – a society in which we need to define a new "national project" guided by the streamlining of culture, religion, and education into a conform blob directed by the Government and tech elites to combat what he describes as the biggest problem facing the US today: diversity of opinion.

Read it so you'll know what's coming.

Wild that most people don’t realize you can simply refuse the direct facial recognition TSA kiosk…

Wilder still is that even fewer people know it doesn’t matter what you do because you are already being tagged by facial recognition software the second you set foot in an airport.

The TSA kiosks are just for boarding, and are honestly completely superfluous, because you’ve already been tagged and identified from the moment you walked into the building or stepped off a plane.

This isn’t just in America… Try wearing a hat, hoodie, and sunglasses next time you board a plane and see what happens.

Periodic reminder that your relays see absolutely EVERYTHING you do on Nostr. Regardless of which Client you use. They literally see the app downloading zaps, replies, and reactions when you scroll your posts in real time.

So... MAKE SURE TO KNOW WHO THEY ARE and that you TRUST THEM with that information.

Nostr is just like a browser. The server has to know what you want to see to send it to you, and that gives them the power to track you and see what you are asking for. There is no way around it.

I can't stress this enough.

⚡️🚨 NEW - The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) has published a report indicating that cryptocurrencies and DeFi have reached "critical mass" and are beginning to represent potential risks to the traditional financial system.

According to the report, the gap between rich and poor could widen even further.

BIS recommends putting the spotlight on DeFi, which includes KYC, information disclosure and other compliance frameworks.
