yeah fuck them too. First degree and second degree. Everyone is promoting killing at some degree. Stay as far from that degree as u can.

Like all are killing people in Palestine. Just some are directly and others are indirectly

Anyone on the ground near LA?

Say hello to the future of Bitcoin home mining.

The world’s first open source touch screen Bitcoin miner. Built on top of Bitaxe and AxeOS, this device marks another chapter in the Open Source Bitcoin Mining Revolution.

Solo Satoshi presents: The Bitaxe Touch.

Years ago, I reached out to a much larger account than mine to share/enquire about an idea. I rambled a bit in my explanation (*gasp!* I know). He came back with roughly:

"Dude, you gotta figure out how to get to the point faster. I don't have time for this."

Now, while i had rambled, it wasn't THAT bad. But i remember really wanting to get defensive and feeling a bit gutted by the response. I had a lot of respect for them.

However, I did stop and think about his perspective. Probably getting an avalanche of DMs, has no idea who i am, busy with 100 other things.

I felt stupid and *wanted* to be angry at him, but i also could see it.

That has stuck with me to this day, and every time I'm writing something, I stop and think "how many of these sentences are really necessary?"

While i still tend to over explain, I've actually been way more conscious about it (and also less insecure when i do ramble 😆). I actually think about the interaction fondly now. It was actually really helpful.

Lesson:

Be frank with people. Staying comfortable and unchallenged only makes you stagnant.

(i deeply feel the irony of a long post about explaining too much, lol... i cut like 3 paragraphs out of this)

I need to move out of LA.

Too soon for farm life?

This is an example of the level that the pharma industry will go to obfuscate and confuse too!

I just finished this and it's nothing I didn't expect having already done a few deep dives on this... but it is also shocking just HOW bad it all really is laid out in full.

There is literally not a single piece of solid science to defend the statement that "vaccines are perfectly safe." And a ton of growing evidence to suggest the exact opposite, that our chronic disease epidemic might have a clear and intuitively obvious culprit.

Not one. Everyone who repeats it is repeating a myth.

The fact that many people accept it as true, certainly doesn't make it so.

I want to talk about something that some people may find offensive, and that I can’t talk about on Twitter to not get shadow banned as I have to rely on reach for my work.

The first time I attended Chaos Computer Congress was over 15 years ago. It had the best parties in town, and we would sneak in for the nightlife.

As I rekindled my interest in politics, computers and the internet, I became more aligned with the CCC’s mission: hacking the planet to hold power to account.

While I was already disappointed with some of the CCC’s policies – particularly on things like COVID and Bitcoin – this year was the first time that I seriously lost hope for and trust in the CCC as an institution – starting with its opening speech.

The CCC’s opening speech sets the theme for the event. This year, it was dedicated to the global rise of fascism. Speakers talked about Germany’s protests against the far-right AFD, about Donald Trump, LGBTQ and abortions, and pro-democracy protests in countries like Georgia.

But not a single word was lost to the genocide in Palestine.

Checking the CCC’s schedule, I merely found a single talk on Palestine, which explicitly made clear that it did not take a stance on whether Israel was right or wrong in its operations.

There were still a lot of great talks at the congress, and many assemblies showed their solidarity, but this complete lack of mention is what really stood out for me.

To understand what a hackers congress has to do with genocide, we need to take an uncomfortable look at Nazi Germany.

What enabled the Holocaust 80 years ago was not just a bunch of bloodthirsty eugenicist maniacs high on ungodly amounts of speed and their fascist ideologies. It was the streamlining of exploitation and murder to never before seen efficiency, with the help of new, more efficient technologies.

It is these same advancements in technology that are fueling the genocide in Palestine today. It’s surveillance on an unprecedented scale, evermore invasive spyware, AI enabled targeting and automated drone warfare.

You can think of Palestine what you want, but this technology is being exported from Palestine to the rest of the world today.

It’s facial recognition systems and license plate scanners that Israel uses to enforce apartheid that you’ll soon see scanning your biometrics for your next flight on holidays, or your car on your next trip to work.

It’s spyware companies that test their products to soon sell them to governments around the world targeting activists, journalists and opposition.

It’s psychological warfare utilizing dating sites like Grindr to social engineer Palestinians into spying on their peers and extort their sexual preferences.

Just last month, the a16z portfolio company Skydio, which is a major Israeli military contractor, was caught providing its surveillance drones to Yale University to monitor and track student protestors.

Some of you may find this topic uncomfortable as it may not align with your political views.

But the reality remains that the genocide in Palestine is a testing ground for never before seen surveillance tech that will soon be used on you. And the world’s most renowned hackers are silent.

We found this strange piece of stone (?) on a walk in a dry river bed yesterday.

Any idea what it is?

Human made? Animal made?

I've never seen anything like it before.

That u killed and ate

Meat, eggs, butter! This is the life!

welp...

i went down the Obsidian rabbit hole last night.

I get it.

Gm 🌞 just an observation on the subtle workings of TikTok content moderation aka Why We Don’t Talk About Fight Club…

If you hate TikTok just scroll on…

Certain words on TikTok - whether spoken or written in the comments - are almost definitely bot-bait. This is why I very rarely drop any full govt names while speaking - we call em Donny, ‘Lonny, Joey, Benny, Barry, Georgie, Billy, etc - or use initials like Johnny FK. Or in the case of Luigi - calling him Lou. The reason I don’t like attracting bots is bc using the comments they can get me flagged for community violations (ie inciting hateful speech.)

But there are two additional layers of automatic content moderation. The first one is called “folded comments” which is an anti-bullying filter, and the second one is called “filtered comments” and it’s designed to catch bots or people with bot like behavior (aka repeating the same keywords continuously across multiple videos).

So now because the spooks have figured out that they will get flagged for the filtered comments if they directly say the keywords that bait the bots, they’ve taken up playing dumb and saying “can someone spell this out for me” hoping that some unsuspecting chatty know-it-all will put the bait out for them.

Not on my watch, but honestly the strategy is clever. Keep ya head on a swivel, folks, and don’t talk about fight club. Discretion is the better part of valor. Lol.
