In a way, as an autistic individual myself, I'd say we'd be more apt to smelling out nonsense than neurotypical people if we know what our values are supposed to be. Not many in the spectrum know, though.
I'd be building a studio and helping people with their musical aspirations. Also starting an entertainment PMA under a 508(c)(1)(a) and a Common Law Trust in cryptocurrency and other hard assets. Oh wait, I'm getting ahead of myself.
I'd also go ahead and teach Free Software to everyone interested in it, so they can get started in using freedom tech in an easy to understand manner. It'd be hands-on, of course.
Simple answer: Yes. A commentator was killed for saying he was COINTELPRO.
Hoo boy is this a doozy. I remember playing some of the new consoles at the time in the late 00's, to maybe mid 10's. I'm primarily a 10's kid, so I knew of all the new video game tech back then. That was my thing back in the day. Nowadays, I am not so much a console guy, and not getting into videogames as much. TTRPG's are a thing for now, and I think it's for the better.
Social media IS a honeypot now. You would know, for you started one in 2008.
AI-powered Nostr? Well... we might need to make an LLM and/or AI for Nostr, then. Let's get to work, boys!
The creator of Telegram was arrested in France.
But the official story is full of holes.
The narrative is that "his girlfriend's posts" gave away his location.
What if we told you that, in reality, he "turned himself in"?
Pavel Durov was arrested on Saturday night (24th) as soon as his private jet landed in Paris.
Supposedly, it was because Telegram didn't comply with moderation requests from European authorities.
But the truth is that Durov knew he was being prosecuted there. He has a French passport.
You know how? Macron gave it to him.
Durov flew to Paris directly from Baku, Azerbaijan.
A few days earlier, he had a secret meeting scheduled with Vladimir Putin... but the president stood him up.
Notice that the relationship between the two is rocky.
The second most famous Russian in the world is somewhat at odds with the first.
In 2014, Durov sold his first company—a "Russian Orkut"—because he refused to follow Putin's orders to hand over information on Ukrainian users.
He fled the country and realized he was being wiretapped: the government was monitoring him even when he spoke with his brother.
That's when the idea came to him:
...to create a messaging app where even he couldn't spy on his users' conversations, even if he wanted to.
However, despite this rhetoric, Telegram is much more vulnerable to surveillance than Signal, or even WhatsApp, both of which use end-to-end encryption by default.
On Telegram, your messages are stored on the company's servers in an unencrypted form. Any sufficiently threatening government could get access to them 👀
And, it seems, they already have.
Check this out:
In 2018, Telegram was banned in Russia. In 2020, it was abruptly unbanned.
In 2020, Durov was feeling the pressure. He had been funding the business out of his own pocket for years.
He was planning to launch a cryptocurrency, but the SEC sued him just before the launch.
He needed help.
Russia represented 10% of his user base.
So, he didn't hesitate... 👇
It seems that Durov made some sort of "deal" with the Kremlin.
The ban was lifted.
Putin's defense forces even began using the app as a communication channel for the military.

Back to Baku, Azerbaijan.
August 20, 2024.
Durov and Putin in the city.
Telegram goes offline for 3 hours in Moscow.
Four days before the Telegram owner is "captured" in France.
Macron himself is a longtime Telegram user 🫥
Put the pieces together 🧩
Europe and Russia are at war.
Any billionaire who owns a communication tool used by both sides would know how to protect themselves.
It's hard to believe that Durov was "turned in by his girlfriend"...

Is Durov hiding from Putin? Or being retaliated against by the West?
Perhaps we'll never know.
What we can know is that now, the French government can read all the messages that Macron, that we, you, and our dogs have sent through Telegram.
I knew that bad OPSEC did him in.
Don't run an LN node, for that's apparently bad OPSEC.
That I'm still working on.
GNU/Linux stops most of that from happening, as they are not like Windows, where it WILL be bugged like that.
EBT will eventually be tied to a digital ID and a CBDC... so sats will eventually bring value once things go south.
Primal's wallet is KYC. If you don't use it, you don't have KYC nonsense.
When my internet bandwidth gets better. I kinda can't really do any sort of V4V streaming (or streaming in general) right now.
The Truth: You Can’t Handle the Truth
There is no need to beat around the bush. The United States is a complete fraud and a terrorist monster. There you have it, so how will you handle this information? Most tend to fly a bloody flag, salute and pledge allegiance to the State, sing the murder-supporting and pro-war national anthem, and willingly vote for your selected king and master every four years. This is the behavior of an obedient, enslaved, and dying society. Do not ask who is to blame unless you are prepared to look in the mirror.

#breakthestate #anarchy
It's simple. We know the group of people who are behind our destruction. It's current leader had said so himself, saying that we (Americans) are a golden calf to be sucked dry, cut apart, and sold until we become a welfare state controlled by them (Some of y'all know who I'm talking about).
Good morning,
More people are starting to follow me simply because of a post I made replying to nostr:npub1a6c3jcdj23ptzcuflek8a04f4hc2cdkat95pd6n3r8jjrwyzrw0q43lfrr, talking about my work and showing it off with a Wavlake album (of which was released in April).
While I appreciate the support going forward, I am not looking for fame. I'm looking to help people free themselves from a system that's been broken since 1871 (when the Act of 1871 was made law).
That said, I have a new album releasing on September 12 of 2024, with an LP entitled "Touhou Igousaken [ee-go-sah-ken] ~ The Failure of Witchcraft", which has 14 tracks, 13 of them being bossa nova compositions.
It's most likely a fake fangame album, since if it is eventually made into an AFPS (Touhou-like, of course), then that's what I envision the soundtrack be like. That's just my opinion on the matter.
You might want to learn a different language that supports async closures if that's the case.
YouTube is legacy, and so is Spotify. The fix for Spotify is Wavlake (which I use), and for YouTube, maybe Odysee (as long as you have 100 followers on YouTube) could be a better opportunity (since it's decentralized now).
The only legacy I'm on is YouTube, but that's because I'd like to mirror all my YouTube content to a Nostr-based platform, without re-uploading everything (because that takes forever).
