Resolvido o mistério de bateria subitamente a gastar o dobro nos últimos dias. 𝗠𝗕𝘄𝗮𝘆Entre as 2h-4h não estava a usar a app, é certo. 🤷‍

My husband recently observed to me how important conditioning is for people to accept things as normal.

He said that when he first began reading my articles, he was like “Okay but I mean, fiat currency censorship isn’t really *that bad* as you describe”. But then in the years that followed, he was like “oh shit, it actually is. The fact that we have to ask permission to access significant amounts of our own money at banks and say what we will do with it is fucking insane. Why is this normal now?”

In Europe especially but also elsewhere, it’s increasingly common to make cash transactions illegal above a certain threshold value. Above that value, you have to go through centralized, surveilled, corporate/government systems, or you’re doing an illegal transaction.

That seems absolutely insane if introduced out of nowhere, but instead it has been introduced gradually through conditioning and so people are like, “well I don’t use cash anyway so that’s okay I guess, in fact I don’t even know that’s a law now”.

The same is generally true for social media. Filtering communications through centralized pipes is actually a radical position but it’s increasingly the new normal. In fact, the centralization of banking and communications in the hands of the state were two of their ten steps proposed in the Communist Manifesto.

The best thing about Ubuntu is I can wipe any of my systems. reinstall the OS and be back up and running in a day without needing to mess with config

I've got one and I've been running Ubuntu 22.04 without any compatibility issues 👍

Vc é um Brasileiro em Portugal?

Ok. That is good, to love freedom of speech and all.

Guns. I wonder if the manufacturers really care what people think, and their struggle to live in a safe society?

Ancapsu - Peter por aqui? Que surpresa. Essa conta nunca tinha sido movimentado desde que acessei o Nostr pela primeira vez.

What is that?

He understands freedom and has a platform….seems obvious we would love him here.

is he confusing the first amendment with the second?

I’ve developed an oddly specific routine, all the more interesting for it being more or less accidental and organic. I post more on twitter, but it is almost exclusively shitposting, because the wider reach frankly just makes it funnier. but I spend considerably more time on nostr (while posting less) because the content is undeniably better. and when I do post here I tend to have a higher standard for myself, lean towards longer form, etc, as I see it more as contributing to discourse than just cracking jokes and trolling people. there’s no conclusion here (from me at least) but interesting to chew on …
