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

Some good ideas, but AFAIK just a single guy working on it and last Ichecked the integrated chat was a small community of a couple dozen ppl. I ran a node, but after a while it lost sync for some reason and could not recover. Bootstrapped the chain, started it again and it failed again after a month or so - and that's after giving it some 10GB ram (i think) which it apparently needs.

the guys arrogantly (or stupidly) tried to lift with their backs rather than the legs ;-p

keybase is awesome, but not sure how long for, after they got bought. end-to-end encrypted, with file storage and git repos integrated

On Musk at 1:03:15

"He was a WEF Young Global Leader who had the sense to be pushing all of the right agenda points about sustainable development"

Musk said it himself that he wants to develop the US version of WeChat (the surveillance app which everything is done through in China) and that's where X is headed.

Musk is no hero, unfortunately. He's just branding, hoping to build 'the one app'

This video is from 8 years ago, yet somehow I've never heard about it.

Its's an internal google presentation, outlining how collected user data can be used not only to predict, but also to modify behaviour.

What cashless also means is that foreigners in your country can't buy anything until they have a bank account.

Last year I used my card to pay for a fresh foreign student's lunch, which he then gave me in cash, because all venues on campus were cashless.
