!!! Warning:

"Hackers abuse Google sheets to impersonate tax authorities"

If the government emails you asking for money, I can finally legally advise you (for security purposes) to ignore them.

There's a new 0-day in negligent Google sheets that is YET ANOTHER reason to completely abandon their invasive Workspaces. The bug allows hackers to remotely mass email, by enabling a Python script to masquerade as a PDF on Windows, from Google sheets. [1][2] Hackers have been abusing this to impersonate government officials and ravage private businesses in many countries. And since use of their Workspace products is so common among many institutions, this has serious risks for stolen funds (on top of regularly scheduled government theft).

According to Bleeping Computer, "Google Sheets is used as a command and control server, pinging it to get new commands to execute on the infected device and as a repository for stolen data". [2] This is surprising to see this type of attack has not been fixed, given that a year ago Chinese hackers abused Google Sheets as a command and control in a similar way. [4]

Not only is it the government, but hackers are also targeting insurance, aerospace, transportation, academia, finance, technology, industrial, healthcare, automotive, hospitality, energy, media, manufacturing, telecom, and social benefit organizations. [1]

The Google sheets bug is only able work if you're using Microsoft Windows. Ironically, Google came under heat a year ago for trying to have Chrome force the operating system to attest that it's a "secure environment" (called Web Environment Integrity API) [3], which would lock Linux users out of many services as there's no company to verify identities.

But now, ironically Google sheets is only vulnerable on what they told us was the secure environment of Windows. Just imagine if Chrome's plans to haze Linux had went through, how much worse this current situation would be.

So I once again urge you to transition to Linux. And:

For your safety, please ignore emails from governments

yeah german gateway went down, sorry about that, I guess I need to develop a client to deal with that issue

other ones work

It's code that functions by taking in revenue and paying out in a trustless way. That's a business without a manager.

Bitcoin "Core" had a core team of devs too, (who did nothing but purposefully wreck it) so just having devs doesn't make it centralized unless you're saying Bitcoin is/was centralized as well.

Further, Bitcoin is free floating also, as are all assets including the US dollar. Value is subjective and exists in the mind of consumer. This can not be fixed in time.

Your disrespectful attitude doesn't change the underlying fact that self-custody self-liquidity Bitcoin lightning is harder and more expensive to use for a new user than alternatives. Since when is it logical to call better products shit?

You've only demonstrated the ability to type the word shit, with no real argument. I predict your next strategy will be to walk away as though engaging with real debate was beneath you, as a cover for your pathetic logic.

I'm not a socialist, I'm a libertarian.

I don't care if the devs charge a fee to use it, I hate middlemen acting as banks. The issue with banks is fractional reserves create new money out of thin air. This warps the economy and creates boom bust cycles as outlined as Fredrick Hayek.

Instead, users should directly interact with Miners and the protocols.

I am excited and I'm not even a woman.

So we just got the Arweave RSS going for the website, we're going put out some educational content shortly on how to use the protocol to update your domains. It's fairly easy to just upload, but to update the same feed is a little technical. Do you have any Linux experience? That's a good place to start because their best wallet uses the command line. You'd be typing things such as:

ardrive upload "your file name here"

lol good one

Depends on what you do with the nostr account. If you got 100k followers and your entire business and social life depend on it, that's a different story than a random key you just made 5 minutes ago.

Arweave is a decentralized business taking in revenue. It does NOT compete with Bitcoin for general purpose money. In fact, Arweave sucks for money with slow transactions and horrible privacy. Arweave transactions are linked to the same wallet you used for your content, which everyone can see

Nobody in their right-mind would use Arweave to buy a bag of coffee. But nobody in their right-mind would deny the great value that Arweave offers to HOST a website selling coffee, that then collects Bitcoin from customers.

So Arweave enables Bitcoin businesses to defy oppressive censorship. Which after these Samarai wallet and Telegram incidents, they seem to be interested in doing. So while I dislike shitcoin venture capitalists printing money, at least they are doing a Proof of Work single-business coupon that improves my life, with no downside for me beyond education.

We outlined the benefits here:

thanks for your time bro

This is true, I do not fully agree with this decision, however I do see some rationale behind it as outlined in that article. The main protocol is Proof of Work, so you can not get voted out.

Yes it is. However, I disagree with Odysee owning the subscriptions. The issue is the end-user is separated from the protocol by Odysee's app acting as the middle man.

Instead, I advocate creators interact with the protocol directly using the gateways and a wallet, and then fans can follow via RSS. We outlined this here: https://simplifiedprivacy.com/arweave-amazing/ar.html

The Fountain podcast app is corrupt bullshit

It's NOT "Powered by the Bitcoin Lightning Network"

It's a custodial bank account, closed source app, hosted on Amazon, with Gmail verification, letting you insert an RSS feed to one government domain.

Unlike the Arweave RSS system I presented yesterday,

Which is true and genuine freedom and censorship resistance by transcending physical locations with the files served on a 30+ gateway global CDN, going directly peer-to-peer,

With Fountain, you're putting your private Nostr key in a closed source mobile app, served to you by the censorship oppressors Google and Apple. They use the word "open" on their website, but their github doesn't have the code itself: https://github.com/fountain-fm

You think you're using peer-to-peer Bitcoin? It's a custodial bank account.

Look at this bullshit:

"Fountain charges a 4% transaction fee on top of every payment you make to a podcast but you can join Fountain Premium to reduce your fees to just 1%. We also charge 10 sats for comments and replies to reduce spam."

In Summary:

--Not Bitcoin, it's a bank account.

--Zero Censorship Resistance, Regular Files

--Insert Private Nostr key into closed source

--Heavy integration with Big Tech

--Surveillance of who is listening

--Leeching Bitcoin fees for RSS feeds and Nostr, which are both peer-to-peer without Fountain

You're being manipulated to reject real solutions like Arweave RSS, so these institutions can maintain power and control.

Revolutionary Privacy from New RSS feed!

Normally websites force you into submission,

Which usually means a rectal exam by Cloudflare, Google capcha, and AWS,

Instead with Arweave, the visitor picks the terms.

Arweave has:

No Forced Locations

No Lag

No DDoS

No Cloudflare

No Censorship

No Tor Ban

No IP Logs

No Cost to View

No Government

No New Software

No New RSS Reader

The SAME RSS readers work! You do not have to download any new software.

You get as much speed and privacy as you want.

The ONLY obstacle is in your mind. Let's dive in and learn:

media wants to eliminate criticism of politicians by showing videos or audio of them doing or saying something. and deepfake education is the path to reduce the power of this. For example Joe Biden falling down a staircase

Thanks for this explanation. If one uses foreign liquidity, and they go out of business, the seeds can be backed up and restored on a new node? (to not lose the L2)

Could one:

borrow a million sats,

Setup the L2 node

Send a million sats with the new node to a swap website for L1

And repay the loan

And if so, how long can one keep that open for?

can you please explain a little more your issue with it
