Anytime I heard someone worried about the government I get to remind them how cripplingly incompetent the government is when it comes to technology.

The tree breathes in what the lung breathes out. The lung breathes in what the tree breathes out.

The paradox of social media is that most applications and services gravitate towards centralization even though they know that this pushes them away from their original mission to give users more control and more options.

You don't generally see new applications launch stating that they're going to offer more control and a more dystopian future. They normally tout new features and additional user options. But at the end of the day, platform lock-in yields more money for shareholders.

There has to be a better way forward.

Defnitly true. Most important is that whoever holds power accepts free speech in order to adapt to failures.

But also every single person has the power to do something. So we should not only request freedom of speech. But learn also the freedom to listen and learn. Since this is kind of the other side of the coin.

And since many people consume more than they produce, this could even be the more important part of it 🫵

I used to struggle. I used to be a pussy. Then I decided fuck that and I just started to win. I started to take control. I didn’t need therapy or any of that pussy shit. I just decided to be the mother fuckin’ man. Yeah, friends I had became jealous, but that’s because they weren’t my real friends. They wanted me weak. They didn’t understand that I had to fuck shit up and get after it. I had to be the man. So many times I helped them out financially. I tried to orange pill them. But they fucked it up and betrayed me.

Swiss ppl understand the crucial difference between a decentralised Confederation and a centralising Federation, as did the indigenous ppls of North America, who used confederations widely (eg the Wabanaki and Iroquois confederacies, amongst many more)

It's a pity that many US Americans today, amongst whom are USA Bitcoiners who claim to be for decentralisation, don't understand the crucial difference and, like nostr:nprofile1qqsp4lsvwn3aw7zwh2f6tcl6249xa6cpj2x3yuu6azaysvncdqywxmgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyg8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnhd9hx2qtxwaehxw309anxjmr5v4ezumn0wd68ytnhd9hx2tmwwp6kyvtjw3k8zcmp8pervct409shwdtwx45rxmp4xseryerdx3ehy7f4v3axvet9xsmrjdnxw9jnsuekw9nh2ertwvmkg6n5veen7cnjdaskgcmpwd6r6arjw4js2ml2z8, celebrate one of the key men who betrayed the young Confederation, and centralised power in the new Federation

I could access #nostr #safebox all throughout Rajasthan, India, but the WiFI at the local dentist's office?

No.
