Oh no! Russian cybertroops have infiltrated reddit! Better buy some awards to tip the scales back into NAFO territory!

If for nothing else, than providing software that's easy enough to start with that there's over 300 instances on that list.
These people make it especially clear that they have no interest in an open network, and merely want the appearance of one.
I never expected the freedom most under attack in free software would be freedom 0.
There's something suspicious about it all...

A perfect illustration of how the system contains dissent.

Lots of interesting details.
Very informative interview on the free and open web's points of failure.

So the video didn't show the piece of material "fully" levitate. What does that mean?

In short, he didn't bake it for enough time, or that the sample wasn't made correctly. Apparently, he's made more batches so we may seem more, but nothing is confirmed afaik.
He wrote an hour agoI don't want to succumb to the echo chamber just yet, it seems weird, but could we explain this another way? Is there a lead compound that exhibits ferromagnetic behavior?
I cracked open the 3rd tube but didn't see any results. The log picture posted earlier was from that experiment. The materials seem poorly reacted, that's for sure. It will be interesting to do the 20hr ones later today.nostr:npub1gcuwv3g6wv59a8qj8u6z4j34ykh8dxwqhfzpvfwfkt87ah9wennqcvd8ng

He describes Purism as having "a social purpose first", "a strong belief system", and "ethical commitment" that they place before profit or shareholder value. So it's easy for them to frame every businesses decision through the lens of serving the greater good, as they see it at least.

I could be wrong, but as I understand is PureOS is a very convenient option for trying to get as close as possible to a full Free Software System. I don't know the state of the hardware, but I'm willing to believe their effort is sincere.
In light of that, I can see how it would be tempting to justify the mission over a couple of customers.
Giving into that temptation is a big deal though, fruit from a rotten tree and all that. It is disappointing (and embarrassing) that they couldn't deliver on their promised. I know of at least one person first-hand who's had issues.

To be fair, there are many who erroneously believe that bitcoin can't be manipulated. While it is possible to maintain sole custody of your own digital assets, you naturally can't prevent others from playing shell-games and other schemes.
My overall point is largely in response to much of the web3 & nostr world that acts like in 2023 Bitcoin is still in early-days and ready to revolutionize liberty online any day now. Examples like this to me are concrete proof that this couldn't be further from the truth.
Much of the "blockchain tech" companies seem identical to big tech in culture and approaches. They just use the simplest impression of being different to sucker people in. This is why all else being equal, I think the fediverse is objectively superior to nostr and other web3 attempts at the same thing.
Doubling down, I agree with you but arguably everything is on the radar these days.
I feel like the CEO of Blackrock pumping #Bitcoin is a concrete sign that it's failed to exist as a useful currency to advance liberty. Some would argue it was never intended for this, but even now there are people who will sloganeer Bitcoin fixes this in the face of censorship and financial repression.
#MoneroOrBust? More and more I start to side with those that argue that currency is the wrong battle in the first place when it comes to attempting to hold the powerful to account. (pun intended)
