Love linux, self-hosting and privacy. Self-knowledge addict and occasional psychonaut. Lurking in farming and BTC discussions.

It was always meant to be The One App, which everything is done through. Western version of the Chinese wechat

On that topic, Whitney Webb's lat podcast (The False Self) was amazing. It doesn't seem to be available for nonsubscribers yet though.

In the UK Parliament:

A. Bridgen: "We have experienced more excess deaths since July 2021 than in the whole of 2020. Unlike during the pandemic, however, those deaths are not disproportionately of the old. ..."

P Davies: "During the covid pandemic, every day the media—particularly the BBC—could not wait to tell us how many people had died on that particular day, without any context for those figures whatsoever, but they seem to have gone strangely quiet over excess deaths now."

Lol, is there any type of evidence that you would accept? They tried to find faults in the study for 7 months and failed.

I am sure you know all about confirmation bias.

I am done wasting time talking to you.

Trouble is, once you make an application censurable, it is open to just that. We have seen the state grossly abuse its power in that regard during covid and many other cases.

That is the same state which funds intelligence services and permits them to enable the very same horrific abuse of kids which you rightly are disgusted by. Remember Epstein and if that is not enough, read Whitney Webb's "A nation under blackmail"

Blocking free speech because some may abuse it is not a solution. If you say it is, then you should next ban cars and every other tech which can be used for evil purposes. That includes the ability to censure, as together with propaganda it is used to brainwash people and enable wars with all the horrors these entail.

Today it didn't. They announced the project dead :(

Self-service shop of the dystopian future... Notice the amount of cameras on the ceiling.

Bought so many books that don't live up to their marketing.

annas-archive.org is an awesome way to ensure a book is worth buying.

Most of it is already out there but ppl need to stop consuming MSM propaganda.

They should really start with the billionaires... As it is they could well be just hitting the big boys' competition. Companies like Amazon pay absurdly low taxes.

Valid point though, citizens don't benefit from and don't want war.

The US govt is looking at that meme and laughing with satisfaction. Using proxies for their goals left them rich and blameless.

You underestimate people's need for free speech. Session is a case study that has been about for a while. You get nasty stuff there too, worse than i have ever seen here, but the community is good and growing. Nasty stuff is a rare exception.

The problem here, at least using amethyst and iris clients, is theoretical more than a pressing issue. NSFW content is marked so and easy to ignore.

I am planning to run a node, didn't even know I need incoming liquidity :-)

When I have it all running I should write a full guide, I find myself searching for info all over the place.

It can be hard for older and/or less technical people to understand bitcoin and see the potential.

It can also be hard to tell whether someone is promoting bitcoin because it is a solution to many problems, or because they are invested and their return depends on BTC popularity increasing.

He is probably rejecting bitcoin because he doesn't understand it and is worried about scams. He will come around is my guess.
