Me? Oh I'm only buying SATs, and what I need to fiat mine..

You.. "What should I buy"..

I understand Bitcoin, is far, far more important than my own life. I will act accordingly if ever need be..

Had much of this year were work free, just enough to support my "very cheap" life. Not long came back from bit over a month in Asia. Back into work straight away, decent size project, for me as a one man outfit..

Stress through the roof, think I'm done after this project...

Still in Hospital. But OK, regained most of feeling in his arm. I'm OS, will get home 2 days to see him.

A simple explanation as to why a "Ministry of Truth" may not be such a great idea...

I posted this a while ago, but given some of the recent developments around the world, I think it is an appropriate time for a reminder.

BTW. I'm quite certain that the proliferation of AI generated deepfakes will be the next step in trying to convince people of the "need for censorship." Yes, it will probably get crazy. Yes, fake news and false narratives will become even easier to create & spread. Yes, scammers will probably be able to call you, mimic your spouse/child/close friend and try to convince you that there is an emergency and that you need to send them money (most likely in an irreversible manner i.e. Bitcoin or Monero) ASAP. But, again, a central organization to govern over data is not the solution. The solution is common sense and a healthy dose of skepticism.

Here's a caveman-type method to avoid such pickles in the future:

1) Get your family together

2) Leave your phones in the house/car* (yes, leave them, if you can't remove the battery you can't be sure they're off) and go in the middle of a forest or anywhere else where there's no people nor electronics around

3) Agree on a "safe word" that you would use whenever there's an ACTUAL emergency

* this is a “worst case” type of scenario in which we would assume that the scammers\AI have hacked\gotten access to the person’s devices, or at the very minimum, messenger app(s) as well

Simplistic? Yes. Paranoid? Maybe. But I would rather be paranoid for a reason than carefree for no reason.

Stay wild & stay free, my friends ❤️🤠

Are there people (not politicians) that actually think it IS a good idea?? I mean it sounds obviously distopian to me..

In reality, you probably do, just adjust your time preference.
