Hmm. Seems like it should be an Android phone, or maybe a Windows PC.

"98 percent of PRISM production is based on Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft".[1]

That, followed by the San Bernardino case, eh… I’m comfortable with my choices. Big Brother is always watching. Gotta take precautions regardless if you’re gonna engage in wrongthink.

This is true. It’s a difficult balancing act. There are legitimate use cases and features built around tracking, etc but it comes with trade offs.

I’m an advocate for knowing your threat model and compartmentalization of your activity. I don’t mind Amazon knowing I like cats, but might not want them knowing I am pro-gun for instance.

I use both Telegram and Threema for the same reason. Telegram is a very nice app, but I don’t say anything there I’m worried about coming out. There are things like Threema and SimpleX for that.

2009: a town in France, Fécamp, was briefly covered in a blanket of cocoa powder when a "chocolate snow" phenomenon occurred.

A malfunction at a nearby chocolate factory led to a release of cocoa powder particles into the air, resulting in the town being coated with a thin layer of chocolate dust.

What happened in 2009.

Just checked and apparently I have 3K followers! Thank you! 🙏

Something new happen?

It's feeling like you have no control over your life and no hope of making things better that make people stupid and lazy. Quite to the contrary, the one thing you don't have to do at all is force people to innovate or risk. Its base human nature. We have a deep, innate need to go do something and be a part of something.

And you are still missing the most important and inescapable causality:

IF people don't innovate and produce, then the money doesn't increase in value.

Remember the money is NOTHING. Its just a record keeping system that track who contributed what into the economic pool. There is zero world where everyone does nothing and hoards money and we all get infinitely rich or have all things provided for us. The *money* does exactly zero part of the job of making wealth. The wealth is all the stuff and all the production. Money merely acts as a positive feedback tool for distributing that wealth (only when it isn't cheated, of course).

You cannot get wealthy hoarding and doing nothing. The only wealth in the world is genuine knowledge, genuine production, and genuine innovation. Money doesn't just magically grow in value. It grows because *the real wealth grows,* and the money simply reflects that.
