EU Data Act in force from 12 September 2025
With all the excitement over the EU’s AI Act and the UK’s data protection reforms, there is another piece of legislation coming into force soon which may have been somewhat overlooked – the EU’s so-called Data Act. It’s quite a complex piece of legislation and if you start looking into it you’ll end up down a rabbit hole....

Britain is Losing its Free Speech, and America Could be Next
From age and ID restrictions on the Internet, to charging rappers with “terrorism,” the U.K. is demolishing the most basic civil liberties. If we let them, U.S. leaders may be close behind.

Exploring the new #bitchat: Is Nostr Under the Hood?
Just checked out #bitchat and I’m getting serious decentralized vibes. Anyone else think there’s a connection to #nostr? Both are all about open, censorship-resistant communication—could #bitchat be building on Nostr’s protocol, or is it just inspired by the movement?
- Love seeing more tools for free, secure conversations.
- If #bitchat is using Nostr, that means more interoperability and user control.
- Curious to see if this is just the start of a wave of Nostr-powered apps.

Born in the 70's...selfies were different then 
I'm testing Olas, but I'm not convinced yet. Very slow but it will have potential
Just stacking sats, no time to chill,
Brick by brick, I'm climbing the hill.
Markets may swing, but I’ve got the will,
To hodl my way, and grow my skill.
Just a few more days... https://video.nostr.build/8c137c9d24967ea70d14aaaa0dc9e2a32d6c3bc046a6bf07ecd97de8fa2f3338.mp4
