Let’s be honest, that same outer ear shot would have killed Joe Biden
In fact, even just loud noise and the weight of secret service guys going on top of him might have
Donald Trump was Shot
Poll: Who do you think did it?
a) Random angry democrat
b) Deep State
c) Deep State but not to kill, just to scare
d) Lee Harvey Oswald's ghost
e) Trump faked it for sympathy
VPS is a virtual private server, or a tiny cloud, 1 or 2 CPUs and RAM. Then you can host services like your website, your email, your files on the cloud, your private messengers such as Matrix or XMPP. So then you are in control
Why BitcoinTalk forums suck:
--Cloudflare sees your password. People invest so much time here to own nothing.
--Tor & VPN restrictions (that require payments) for a borderline illegal grey market
--Google Captcha for Tax Evasion & Bitcoin Mixing
--Payments for Ads in Signatures, based on the quantity of posts, leads to low quality spam
--There's no sense of community like Nostr has, just calling each other scams. And the criteria for not being a scam is having spent a lot of time using this Cloudflare password to spam.
--People don't even trust the escrow moderators.
--Applicants to job ads often have no presence or website besides BitcoinTalk. Oh you're a web dev with no website?
Anyone who is self-employed should be self-hosting a VPS. If your only presence on the internet is Cloudflare seeing your password, Gmail, and Telegram... then you're basically homeless.
User: I'd like to install software from apt
Linux: I need to see your sudo credentials, do you have authorized access to install stuff from the most heavily monitored package manager?

User: I'd like to install software from Python pip.
Linux: Come on down! No sudo required! BLIND TRUST IN DEV SOFTWARE! Just flag it with "--break-system-packages" and you can DESTROY YOUR SYSTEM!
Leaked: Google Pixel 9 info
It's unclear if this is a real leak, or Google purposefully marketing their stuff (likely the 2nd). From the leak, a random Russian websites got images and dimensions: [1]
Pixel 9: 6.24"
Pixel 9 Pro: 6.34"
Pixel 9 XL: 6.73"
The Verge is reporting the Pixel 9 will have AI scan screenshots similar to Microsoft's Recall. Wiping this with a custom ROM may end this OS-level feature, although it's unclear yet if it will be integrated with the hardware. [2] As a reminder, Google's newer models (8+) already include the "Find My Device". This and price are why I recommend the 6a.
AndroidAuthority is reporting on the leak as well, saying there will be a price increase. Vanilla models going up 100 euros in France. [3]

yeah they said on github today the fix is in the works
not sure sorry
cool, tell that to Samarai prosecutors. he didn't have custody
BraveNewPipe just pushed an update!
I tested it and it works. You can get it right now via Obtainium!
Beginner Q&A:
Q: What are you talking about?
A: Youtube broke a lot of privacy frontend apps with an update. This is the fix
Q: What is Obtainium?
A: An android app you can get via F-Droid that lets you install any other app via the developer’s Github, so you avoid having to wait for slow groups like F-Droid
Q: How do I do it?
A: First get Obtainium via F-Droid, then copy-paste the Github link:
Two points:
1) Linux Mint's new version (22) will have Matrix/Element pre-installed.
2) NewPipe, an android app that's a front-end for Youtube, broke from Google's updates. Now the devs just announced they are working on a fix to the issue.

The official Eth foundation, as well as prominent influencers in the space did promise it, and the Shanghai Upgrade was supposed to be when those benefits could start being implimented. Now did they bail on that promise? Quite possible. The issue with rollups is who is a money transmitter from a legal risk
I was debating Telegram vs Matrix groups with an Ethereum developer,
And he said "We use Telegram because Matrix hasn't lived up to democratizing things as promised"
You're mixing up democracy and decentralization. To quote nostr:npub1haqmanygx8nnzhv6n8ur7ytfpxvkqhamt9r5yd8sjxnpvy7utxgs89cvpg,
"Democracy is literally a 51% attack on decentralization"
Ethereum switching to democracy (proof of stake) has not really brought about the speed or cost fixes promised. But it has introduced the new issue of the KYC exchanges having majority staking power, so they could be forced by the government to censor or steal.
One day man, you'll wake up and see that democracy is bullshit, as your fundamental human rights shouldn't be subject to the mob's decisions. But unfortunately that day may only come because the vote will be against you.
There is no logical connection between Nostr and Custodial Bitcoin Lightning, it's totally unrelated. If anything, they are opposite concepts. One is you own your private key to speak, and the other you don't even own your money.
Further, there's nothing "ironic" about a privacy website promoting a privacy coin, that’s what everyone would expect. And trying to scold me for KYC coins is a complete divergence from reality and my writings.
Your insult banter is epic fail. I question if you even speak english. I'm not even reading your reply
Totalitarian Microsoft Censors More than China
New Research from University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab presents clear systematic evidence that Microsoft censors more than even the Chinese government through it's corrupt and manipulative search engine Bing inside China.
Quote from their study:
"The institute found that Microsoft censors its Bing translation results more than top Chinese services, including Baidu Translate and Tencent Machine Translation. Bing’s censorship rules in China are so stringent that even mentioning President Xi Jinping leads to a complete block of translation results."
The report analyzed 10,000 unique censorship applications, and compared Baidu, Tencent, NetEase, Alibaba, and others. Yet the institute found without a doubt that Bing had THE most oppressive results. This is on the back of Bill Gates pushing for mandatory global digital IDs.

Yeah whose CEO of Monero?
I can’t believe people actually use GoDaddy’s website hosting
GoDaddy buys vanity domains and then forces you to pay outrageous fees to buy it, and so the bulk of the good domains aren’t even used. Like half the internet is “parked domain” signs.
If after buying that domain, you then turn around and buy hosting from them too, this is like paying the ransom to the kidnapper who took your child, to then after hire that guy for babysitting.
Yeah I've seen that, but you gonna store it on a VPS or your home? If it's a VPS, then it's basically XMPP w Tor Onions
says the Bitcoin maxi who is hazing / fighting with other coins. I gotta bookmark this meme and show it to you next time =)
