There was a short glimmer of hope at the beginning of all this when the talk if cutting cost and tightening to pay back some of the debt was part of the narrative.
Honestly, there's not enough conversation around data sovereignty as there should be.
It just goes against the grain of what "smart" people these days think should be the focus. Most developers seek to raise walls around it and raise it like a herd of cattle so their corporation can be the sole benefactor of the slaughter.
It can be incredibly cheap to run a home server, why don't more people do it? Why isn't it popular to host your own data?
I'm not even touching on the security and privacy aspect of it, I'm talking the mere economics of it.
I have 2 kids and a wife and I'm super involved with my extended family ie in laws, brothers, my parents. Just think about the aggregated cost per year on data hosting subscriptions. If everyone pays between $2-$5 in an extended family of 10, you can pay for a $600 server in one year. Most hardware should last you at least 5 if taken care of correctly.
If, in the very near future, AI applications make it incredibly easy to offer goods and services at scale without the need of employees, what would work look like?

KYC is likely what they meant by "bypassing" legal entities. Kind of bullshit really. He's never condoned illegal activity. I do hope this was just a mistake
How much data do they actually collect on people in apps like whatsapp or Facebook messenger?
Not a bot here
Legit request for anyone who might care to help me here, if you are changing your node to knots whats your personal reason?
I've been trying to follow the conversation on all the podcasts and nostr but it seems both sides are talking past each other and most people are set on their ways without much give and take.
Shiit, ill get a PhD in refrigeration and build a refrigerator for your entire neighborhood for 1 btc each lol
I find that kind of realization comes when there's a calm in life. When I have sone time to truly think about the chaos, the small moment I've stepped outside of it.
Nice piece 👌
GM! Hugging my kids in the morning.
There was a wonder in wandering a gamestop and finding a game you've never heard of but the cover blew your mind and you liked what the back showed as gameplay.
Then the guy at the register sounded excited about it and after a few hours of gameplay you knew you'd just found another gem.
Chefs kiss. Nothing like that today.
That extended warranty call is going ti get ugly real quick...

You're lucky. I have over 100 books just locked in Amazon land
February 26th 2025.
This was the day Amazon officially revealed to the world that you don't own any of your digital shit.
I haven't seen much being said about this on Nostr, which is crazy enough, but now you know.
February 26th 2025 Amazon removed the ability to download the books you have purchased onto your desktop.
All of their Kindle readers are now essentially airgapped and can only be reached if you have an Amazon account, at which point you're free to frolic about in their walled gardens all day.
Have a favorite author, but said author decides they will no longer publish on Amazon, goodbye library of books you've purchased.
Kinda wild.
