You are right! What do you think is the correct course of action?
The next step would be to make Android non open source to kill #grapheneos
That is why I am emphasizing a philosophical revolution. People understand the importance of free speech (even though the neo Marxists twisted that term to make it irrelevant) and are appalled when someone attacks it. We need to get them to understand that privacy is at the root of every freedom they care about.
I remember chatting with a swiss guy over beer in a tech conference. When he told me he was swiss I said something along the lines "wow! Awesome! You guys have a great GDP". He was totally ashamed and said so. I was shocked, why was he ashamed of "his" success. I told him he should be proud of his country. He agreed but the socialism indoctrination was strong in him.
If most swiss are like him, Switzerland has a problem.
When I talk with people, most of them understand that they don't have any privacy. They just don't care.
This is quite an issue. Freedoms are being stripped from us with out anyone thinking it's an issue.
Technology isn't the answer. As rules and regulations increase, freedom technology will be harder to use.
What we need is a revolution. A philosophical revolution. One that will put individual freedom right at the center. One that will explain why privacy is so important.

DE-PLATFORMED AGAIN!
1) I am debanked by Stripe - my blog payments cancelled.
2) My credit cards are a nightmare - who uses SMS’s??
3) I’m banned from Telegram - WTF?!
I’m sick of being deplatformed & asking for permission! This is why we bitcoin & Nostr.
In a totalitarian world, become decentralized, uncensorable & sovereign!
Pls share this 🙏🏻

Stripe bans Israelis?
Property tax is one of the most destructive taxes!
This is the future of all Blockchain tokens. The only way to avoid is is to use an anonymous Blockchain by design. AKA Monero.
But even that won't help. The regulator would find a way to make Monero unpractical. Yes, tech savvy individuals will find a way to use it. But the normal Joe on the street will be to afraid of it. Thus rendering Monero a geek novelty.
There is only one solution. It's not an easy one, but it would work. A philosophical revolution. When the people will understand that privacy is a right (and hold a correct concept of rights), these proposals will be rejected just like slavery.
Inflation isn't an issue IF wages rise proportionaly.
They don't. That is why fiat is going down the drain. But they do rise and adjust themselves to inflation.
Explaining the situation in median household income simply gives a more whole and correct picture.
The question is not how much money it was worth but how much of the median income was it worth.
Start with looking for someone who is better than you. He will be the head of the team.
Once you got him find someone who is not as good as the first guy, and not as experience but knows it and has a passion for learning and improving.
Try to find two or three like that. They will be the main producers of the team.
Next take some one young and fresh but really eager to learn. He will be the future of the team.
When your have the development running and the product in an MVP state, find someone who is a hard worker, not that bright and knows it. He will take all the tasks that bore the other team members and do them well.
Most importantly, screen for people who are willing to admit mistakes. I am always right mindset, even if he is 99% correct, will break the team.
That is my 2 cents.
The Germans lost the first world war. They signed their defete. Yet that win led to the second world war.
Winning is not always a path to peace.
There is also a question what is the price of winning? Will sacrificing half of Ukraine be an acceptable price for victory even if it meant a stable peace.
What will really drill it in is a movie that is based on this. It doesn't have to have Sydney Sweeney in it. Just about how people recognize objective beauty and why it matters.
The path between philosophy and culture is art.
Distributed DNS is one of the top properties of a decentralized/free internet. Some attempts have been made to crack this, but none seem to stick.
When government interfere with the markets, they destroy the markets.

I don't think it's silence. It's a very strong statement that for the good of humanity Hamas must be destroyed.
How popular is #nostr in the #uk? Seems as if it should be....

Asisi declared that he will open the Egyptian border. Now it's time for Israel to provide a mechanism for Gazans to get to the Egyptian border!
#israel #gaza #egypt
Here is a reminder that Egypt refuses to accept any refugees from Gaza. Not even civilians who need medical attention.
Opening the Egyptian border would be the best way to help the people in Gaza.

Who could have guessed tha raising the price of a commodity will make it scarce?
Who could have guessed that making travel scarce will harm trade (trade == trave of commodityies)?
Who could have guessed that socialism will fail yet again?
