I could see it now. First I clicked the link and it did not work. But I do not know why. Does not matter I think.

I have just seen, I can watch it within the note, once it was loaded completely.

Thanks for sharing. I think the world will get better with every individual, that opens their eyes and sees the world without these emaginary borders, nationa created.

Nations came to our world before 300 years and they are for sure not here to stay.

When more people start to realize, that we do all better in recognizing eachothers talents and support, where someone lacks opportunity to help themself, we can be a great species. One that could be made to endure a long time.

Most probably it depends on our every imagination.

I think currently the pixels are a great choice, to be compatible with #GrapheneOS, which should be the most privacy oriented OS without question.

I opted for a Pixel of the a series. Is with little lower spec. I think mostly for the camera sensors.

Or when repairability is a high need, the Fairphone could be cool. It is an all modular phone where it is doable for everyone to replace down to the camera and displays without much skill or tools. 😉

Maby I am wrong. But I know that Biden did not lick Putins ass an never requested Ukraine to wave the white flag.

I would not know a president that bragged about having the biggest IQ, bragging about his golf tournaments, while ordering strikes in yemen.

Ir is just too obvious, that he does not care about america. Otherwise he would invest time in his presidency instead in commercialising himself as a person.

I see purpose in whatever support that is worth a small snack or a coffee. With all other I really like more, when someone just simply likes or quotes a note.

I see quoting a note as the highest value. Since it directly gives some review on a note 😉

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2025/09/17/trump-whirlpool-tariffs-putin-poland/

Apart from#trump braging about being genious. Are there also any signs, that show his genious economically?

Hindering US factories from being built, forcing inflation through his illegal pressure on the FED and his false claims of punitive tariffs to rise producing costs in the US.

#trump supporters please kneel before your king for rising coffee prices with Brasilian "punitive tariffs" for enprisoning Bolsonaro for his failed coup.

Thank him for making the US becoming world clown instead of wrespected world police.

Netanjahu and Putin are dominating the US president in all questions of military decisions. The current #president of the US lets himself play like no president before him. The US more and more seems like a ship without captain. Or a captain that incapable, that enemy captains have more influence on the ship than #trump does.

Trump really seems the fastest train to chinese world supreme power.

Such a greate note. It is too easy to fall in perfection trap and just completly loose track of other prats. Or loose all productivity to make sure privacy is protected.

We do not have to be perfect. But better then the majority.

Iactually never yet had a data loss due to device failure. So also for quiet some time I just did not have a backup plan.

But recently I setted up automatic Backups to an external drive with timeshift on my Machine.

Actually together with Nostr I learned, how great it is to have all I need backed up, so in any moment I could just install a new Device and have all my needed data available from the backup.

For me this local Backup plan seems feasable and still save for my usecase. For sure my Backup is encrypted with a unique password.

In general I hardly think they exist. "they" are most probably unrelated groups and individuals, which try to get me working to their good.

I would argue it is always importent to be concious in what I do and define the purpose myself.

Probably there is not even a us. I think there is extorted individuals and those who try to extort others. In many cases there is no group that is always one of these sides.

Best we can do is focus on the good we can offer to us and our peer group. The rest is individual story telling.

Good point

I think in Switzerland it would be somewhere around 12-15 years. But also house standards are far higher. Since building more durable and more isolated also means far higher prices.

I mostly fear that too many institutions and individuals algin precautiously with the requests of Trump even when they are not backed by courts.

This also already leady to real damage in loss of free thoughts. This will probably have an impact. Depends how many freedomfighters there really are. And how many favour comfort.

Thanks for sharing the documentary. I will see if I find time to watch it.

And based on the Veritassium this seems to have been happening what you told with the neighbor crops. At least for some time.

Are seeds already a part of current #opensource movements? I know this is rather genetic code, than software. But shouldn't we protect them as public good to reproducible plants, instead of private #copyright protecting these genetic codes behind legal saveguards?

#decision #gametheory

Great video to show how decisionmaking is a scientific topic, where probability of success should be maximized. Definitly still there is lot of room for discussions. Since not everyone has the same goal. So in every society one has to finde out, what goals should be set.

But the "how" should probably be answered based on reproducible science, rather than stif opinion.

Dear #right, #conservative #US citizens. I am not considering myself right leaning. And I would not say anything like it. I am no supporter of #trump or anything like it.

But with current events, like Trump requesting loyal massmedia stations, every person who likes to live in freedom, should be highly concerned. And the people who support Trump are defnitly those, which can explain the issue with that to him the best way. The way he understands it.

Freedom of speech means to accept ideas, one does not support. Or even expressions, that directly demonstrate myself in a bad light. Do you remember #JDvance in Munich? (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPZAtf3VRWI)

When Vance means what he says, than hopefully he is concerned about his president who says:

"all they do is hit Trump. They're licensed. They're not allowed to do that." (Donald Trump 18th September 2025)

Ok. I assume you refer to the murder of #charliekirk. Did you read about the motives of the murder?

As I have heared, his girlfriend saied she gets offended by Kirks attacks on the freedom of choic to freely decide what sexuality to follow.

I think it is sad that it happened. But based the motives I think it is very hard to hinder such a person from killing. When someone is dedicated and decides to kill without long planning, Police can hardly stop such a person.

So I understand the people who are sad about the muder. I am all for justice, that the murder gets his sentence for murder by a court. But I really do not see, what could possibly make such an event impossible in the future.

Ja die typische verdrehung. Russische supporter, welche Verteidigung und die Unterstützung von Verteidigern als Kriegstreiberei benennen, während der Angreifer es scheinbar nicht sei.

Great description on several points why #Windows sucks and how to create local Windows 11 logins.

Whenever it is a option, I would always prefer the switch to #Linux, which makes me own the machine instead of being allowed to use it by Microsoft.

I really think that fear can only ever be a short term plan. Fear gives opportunity to opposition. Real power I rather see in wise decisions. When someones actions are the guidance since others follow it liberately.

Wohl auch nur das aufbäumen der nächsten Blase von Elon Musk. Der ist doch immer mehr ein Abbild von seinem grossen Idol #trump und macht viel lärm um seine Pläne und verfehlt diese dann in hohem Bogen.

Aber ja. Ich setze meine Hoffnungen sicher nicht mehr auf den Typen...

Ok. Can you tell, where you did experience this? I mean I live in Switzerland and therefore I only have little touching points on what is happening in the US. Is there some reporting on that? Or did you have personal experience, that would strongly differ from experiences before the assassination?

Maby I did not see this. I would never motivate any murder. I see nonviolence as the baseline of democratic discours. Participants of society need the savety to speak freely without having to fear harm.

To me human rights are non-negotiable and have to count for every person, independent of race, party, religion, language or origin.

Human rights allow public justice, where every person can be held accountable to written law. This is all a society needs in order to make criminal activity unprofitable. We can change laws, when there are loopholes. But I could not accept authority, which is disrespecting my human rights.

Just no to what? Just no that people with a big follow should not try to focus on being part of a constructive force? Or no to that this is not happening yet?

The second I totally agree. Many people seem very reactive instead of activly providing ideas on how to come together.

I would consider myself somwhat center left probably. And not I am defnitly not a person that is on the search whom to blame. I mostly try to figure out what actions could maby lead to more consens finding. And my first interpretation of the post you are reacting to here, was a question to ask for consensus.

I really think, that in a heated discussion (and maby most discussions today are heated sadly) one focuses only on the differences of opinions.

But I think in a functional democracy it would be most important to have a general understanding, in which topic there is consens. Since I am sure there are topics people from the left to the right are consenting on. And finding this common ground is maby just the basic to start a discussion between different oppinions.

A productive and constructive discussion needs to have a common ground. Could be a com on ground that everyone respects the freedom of speech. In a way, that no one is forced to listen to me, as no one is allowed to silence me.

Also most can maby be ok, that we should focus on messages within a discussion. More than focusing on the messenger. Otherwise every discussion will be nonsense pure subjectivity.

Than maby a place where less can consent, but maby still enough could be that I need to accept people with different oppinions. Otherwise there is no sense to ask for acceptance of my different oppinion.

I think whoever could sign such a basic social contract, could participate in a countructive discussion.

Diesen Eindruck habe ich auch, dass du voll den Frieden hast in deiner egozentrischen Blase, wo Solidarität ein Unwort scheint. Knie nur weiterals vorbildlicher Kremelknecht 😉😂

Mir ist es ein mysterium, wer so nem typen in einem Podcast zuhören will...

You mean not people who ask questions?

I think you are very convinced with this idea. I leave you this idea. I defnitly prefer to live in a democracy, where the individual is seen as this. Not as a means to something more than just being.

Tax as a system, I am not against. I am against abuse of tax money through individuals deciding what happens with the taxes or companies and individuals, which steal tax funds to enrich themself personally.

I put Monarchs defnitly in this category of people who enrich themself illegitimatelly. For me legitimate use of tax funds is to fullfill needs, which benefit the individual in the end.

Like a public school system, to make sure everyone can read the laws, argue for or against them and discuss based on logic.

Police to enforce the written laws and the infrastructure for those institutions.

I think all other needs can be locally organised on a county level. And I as a swiss person defnitly defend direct democracy above all other forms of democracy.

Every new law can be negated from the people directly. And new constitutional articles can be enforced by the people directly too. I could even imagine a system without cohstant representatives at all.

I think I can not beliefe in you. Taking about "From the people..."

A group of people can not be consistent. An individual can be consistent. But everyone who calls out someone else to fix it and blame others, is no part of unity. It is already dishonest asking others to stop giving unapropriate names to your party people and in the same sentence attacking them.

Those on the search for people to blame instead of blaming the shooter is dishonest abuse of the situation.

I mean what is the republican activity to deescalate? Or is just everyone agreeing, that republicans do not have this klnd of character?

I would not say it is badass. It is just what really works. Deescalation at its best.

In the public I have seen it happening. Democrats speaking up against violence. I would always speak against violence. Which elected democrats did show themselfs happy about it?

I mean what some individuals do or say, is not fair to be projected on others.

#democracy #union #discussion #pacifistic #freespeech

I was thinking a lot about the sad assassination of Charlie Kirk. Should we might start communicating more, to stop violence.

When we want to live in Democracy, it does not matter if we are left, right or center leaning. Important is to say, that we have non violent arguments at every level. Since when we consider us to be democratic, we accept that there are different opinions in the world. Difference is not the enemy. Difference is what makes us complete.

lets life the respect and freedom of speech to answer this unwelcomed violence. We as a free nonviolent society can be xtronger than the terrorists.

Would also like to hear this. Sounds like a crazy story. Infected computer? After this you could stop the robbery?

Defnitly agree on that. This is a law that gives backdoor access. And all who understand security know, that a product can technically not create a backdoor without weakening their security.

So this is a law to make our tools less save.

With other party one could define is always, when someone disagrees or criticises my opinions or actions.

Nothing more important but respectful interactions with those of the other party. Really.

I hope so. And hopefully there is enough democratic venezuelans around to form democratic institutions.

I totally agree, that most tweaks do not come without investment. Freedom is rarely for those who search commodity. These are rather contrary concepts.

But I personally really like about opensource projects, that they usually converge towards compatibility, privacy and security, while lacking features.

Proprietary solutions on the other side are focused on delivering many features, making everything easy to use, while the business model usually incentivizes them to sell valuable user data, make very useful features as incompatible as possible with competitors and to divest security to stay competitive without wasting unnecessary resources in it.

This is why I feel so much better using opensource software wherever possible. Maby they lack features, maby not everything works fine. But at least it is highly probable that with enough developers working on a project, that telemetry is minimized to a bare minimum or even eliminated. And when it is not, people make it transparent. So with open source I am very likely to install what I want to install. And with closed source I can only trust the developers, they built the product with best intentions. Proof can never be deilvered until the opposite is shown to the public.

Clearly Maduro is no angel. Clearly he is a unpopular dictator.

But also he gets right, that when stopping drug trafficing was a priority, every investigator would follow the money and confiscate it. No drug trafficker or assassin is working because it is fun. They will start working in other sections or at least fail to hire new generations, as fast as the organizations go out of money.

So when a government wants to do something more than a puppet show, to make their personal gains behind their back, they would start their activities where the money is sitting at.

But this is not happening until the pressure of the public is so high, politicians can not do anything else than request the needed information from the financial institutions.

The problem of a prison often is not, that it is insecure. The problem is rather that you do not get out and therefore have a lack of freedom.

MacOS lacks the freedom to tweak the system. Since it is all closed source a user has no other opportunity, but to trust apple in making it private and secure. When you are not ok, with a decision of some settings, the look of the desktop or whatever, one has no real solution to change this.

With the use of software I just really do not know. Maby as you say, one can also install software from Github to mac without problem. I assume you know this better than I know. But in the essence. I think it is the lack of changing the system however you want to, since the code is not open to look at it, to change it, to compile it and distribute it to other people.

Cool than I will defnitly check this out. Sounds great.

To clarify. I think we as a society and as individuals are in a never ending path of improving. So I hope you feel empowered to change for good, rather than feeling bad for having been imperfect before ;)

No. It is just a lack of intelligence of those who believe it. But usually one learns that once it gets obvious the self proclaimed greatness has no bases in reality.

Denmark is known to have a very progressive and highly functional prison system.

I hope mine got rid of those :(

I hat three snakes too.

For 3 years I was asking my parents to have them. When I had them, it was around two years, until I was too scared, that they would bite me. So we sold them 😂

Prefer critique, before good feelings. Since when your certainty is only based in the lack of critique, it is vulnerable anyway.

#critique #philosophy

I evaluate people by their actions. When a person invests their energy to support minorities, when they can not defense themselfes properly, to me this is heroic. When someone is brave and stands up for weaker individuals, even when it is not profitable.

This is virtue, no matter the political label.

To what standards do you evaluate people?

I think we understand each other perfectly well in this point. I am not saying, being maxi and investing every liquidity into Bitcoin is toxic. This is a personal decision. Everyone can decide themselves, if they want to invest 10%, 80%, 100% or even take loans to invest into Bitcoin. Ever individual should use their freedom to make decisions based on their preferences and beliefs. This is all I advocate for.

Please read through your comments and check yourself what you explained. It is far from clear what your stances have been.

And to ask followers to know whatever context before understanding your comments is very rare.

I think you know that I appreciate your work. I would not repost so many notes when I would not appreciate it. So maby reflect also on your work and accept, that also you can improve. It will not help you or any of your followers, when you defend your flaws instead of improving upon them.

And where is the funny part in it?

I assume you refer to this theory?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabula_rasa

Based on what facts you are arguing against this theory?

I think that most people base most of their actions on trust. Be it in god, society, nature, their mother, father or whomever. Most our constructive actions are not noticed. So when I buy some food, go to a citchen, coock something, eat it, wash the dishes and clean the kitchen, probably no one will notice anything.

But when I leave the kitchen in worse circumstances, either my wife or my future self will be unhappy with the actions of my present me.

And like this are many situations. When from 100 actions only 5 are incomplete or bad, it is very likely, we will find out about them. But hardly will someone approach me for doing the 95 things excellent.

I think it is important, that we use our conciousness, to try spotting the excellence, even when it is mostly hidden from our view. Mostly we filter this out, as "nothing to do".

But we could also say to ourself and others which do something good, that we appreciate it. Gratitude is such a powerful activity.

And I think without it, we can not even see half of reality. 🙌🫵❤️‍🩹❣️💪

Really? So brad, corn or gasolin was only 3% of todays price?
