Big piece coming up, on the profound effect of plastics on humanity. It's not just about health. Plastics rob away our dignity, in a big way.
TL;DR: Remove anything that is plastic from your life. And stay tuned for the article because it's good.

The previous title (and time of publication) were not ideal, so here is v2.
Massive piece dropping soon.
PS: It's the first article I publish after closing down my Twitter account.
Twitter only gives you an option to "deactivate" your account. I don't see a "delete" option though.
They give you a 30 day grace period. The question is, do they delete your data after 30 days or do they hold on to it, for ever and ever?
Either way, yet another reason to exit that platform sooner or later.
X1 Carbon. I like the keyboard and color of the laptop. I had to apply tape over the red led on the back though, and could do without the little red thing in the middle of the keyboard, haha.
Hot off the press:

First draft of my "Laptop" piece is complete. Should drop next week.
It documents my journey over the last few years. Complete with apps, services, and hardware I've worked with, and recommend. Relevant to beginners and advanced, alike.
I don’t know if you’ve watched videos of how urban life looked like at the turn of last century (link at the end). I love watching those videos because they are full of beauty, innocence, self-respect, and healthy, effortless smiles.
Imagine if we could watch how life was several centuries back. I bet things were even better back then, despite what mainstream tells us: oh, how poor and short-lived those primitive and uneducated humans were. Oh, how unequal, oppressive, and undemocratic their societies were. And yet, those glimpses of the past suggest otherwise.
Besides, it’s not like we need video documentaries. Most of us have met our grandparents (and other old people) so we can compare their generation with ours.
What changed?
The hierarchy of our society used to be different. At the bottom were peasants. A few layers above were some aristocrats, and at the very top was God. Indeed, our ancestors deferred to Him as the ultimate authority.
What about today’s hierarchical pyramid?
Well, at the very bottom you have today’s peasants – all those educated and diligent workers who pay their taxes, vote, and watch Netflix. Above them you have bureaucrats, politicians, and financiers. Further up, you have think-tanks, the UN, BIS, WEF, NATO, and their friends.
And then what? Who or what sits at the very top?
Modern society no longer defers to God as the ultimate authority. As Dostoevski wrote, in the absence of God, there is chaos. The reason why modern societies look so ugly and hellish is because they have rebelled against God.
But you and I have a choice.
If we don’t want to follow the hordes of Lemmings falling off the cliff, we can opt out. We can hold on to our own Faith, chart our own path, and determine our own destiny. But make no mistake, it all starts with God.
Here is one video from the turn of last century: https://youtu.be/rHqha40xRL4
That was my first long-form post on Nostr. My first observation is, I wish there was an edit (or delete) option, because I'd like to remove the extra spaces in between the paragraphs. Otherwise, I like how the video preview shows up at the end. Everything looks promising.

Virtue signaling betrays compromised incentives and misguided ethics. Public displays of "generosity" and "virtue" are a strong counter-indicator.
Started working on a massive piece on laptops.
What laptop, what software, what cloud services (hint: none), and much much more. It's the result of 3 years of work.
Should drop in 2 weeks.
Yeah, larger cuts use less plastic but need bigger freezers.
It's finally out:
How to escape Worldcoin.
Great implementation. I like that it has a podcast player and alarm clock.
