1984 the movie, for anyone that has never seen it 😉
So I was wondering how people get hooked on certain behaviours including online behaviours.
My conclusion was that it is because of intermittant reinforcement which is very addictive.
Intermittent reinforcement is a schedule of rewards for certain behaviors or responses but without any predictable pattern. In other words, the reward comes periodically, not every time it’s performed.
Casino's are using this.
Porn sites are using this.
Shopping sites are using this.
Social media platforms are using this.
If You know for sure You get pleasure or positive feedback every time You spin the wheel, post something or watch any porn video, it will get boring really fast.
If You never get any pleasure or positive feedback You won't go back doing that either.
If You get positive feedback or pleasure only 1 in 6 times, it's way more addictive. Once in a while that dopamine hit, the really good feeling. It will make You come back for that again and again.
What this leads to is conditioning, You are now conditioned to do this again to get this feeling good hit.
I'd like to encourage You, with the above in mind, to be aware of all this.
Cheers! 😉
In case this isn't clear for everyone. The difference between currency (USD) and money (Bitcoin) 😉:

Have You ever wondered why French fries are so thin at the McDonalds?
It's because they can deepfry those raw potato pieces all at once at one high temperature.
When You make French fries from scratch with normal sized raw pieces, You have to deepfry them first at a low temperature and then deepfry them at a high temperature. 😄
#Bitcoin the protocol is proof of work.
Becoming wealthy in Bitcoin is proof of discipline.
Stack your sats and ignore the noise. 😉
My secret ingredient in cjili is a teaspoon of cocoa powder. It gives a smooth almost smokey touch to it. 😉
Governments will tell You that all the KYC and AML requirements are done to prevent terrorism, human trafficking and money laundering.
The real reason is that they want to stop tax evasion and are using the banks for it. 😉

Guy feeds his medical data into GPT, diagnoses mystery illness. Turns it into opensource tool. Sounds like getting the data is the hardest part.
"The most frustrating part wasn't just the lack of answers - it was how fragmented everything was. Each doctor only saw their piece of the puzzle: the orthopedist looked at joint pain, the endocrinologist checked hormones, the rheumatologist ran their own tests. No one was looking at the whole picture. It wasn't until I visited a rheumatologist who looked at the combination of my symptoms and genetic test results that I learned I likely had an autoimmune condition."
"Interestingly, when I fed all my symptoms and medical data from before the rheumatologist visit into GPT, it suggested the same diagnosis I eventually received. After sharing this experience, I discovered many others facing similar struggles with fragmented medical histories and unclear diagnoses. That's what motivated me to turn this into an open source tool for anyone to use. While it's still in early stages, it's functional and might help others in similar situations."

#Gold #Bitcoin
You can't easily verify the purity of gold, You can with bitcoin.
You can't verify the total supply of gold, You can with bitcoin.
You can't practically fracture a piece of gold, You can with bitcoin.
You can't do triple entry bookkeeping with gold, You can with bitcoin.
You can't send value over the internet with gold, You can with bitcoin.
You can't secure data with gold, You can with bitcoin.
You can't innovate gold, You can with bitcoin.
You can't change gold bugs their mind about bitcoin, so don't bother. 😄
This is awesome! 😄
#symbolism
Sometimes people in power are signaling something by using symbolism. I think Trump did this too recently. So below You'll see the picture of the US presidential seal as You all know it.
The eagle is facing the olive branch and this branch symbolizes peace. So showing the eagle looking at it means the preference is peace.
The arrows symbolize war.
This seal was changed in 1945 from the eagle looking at the arrows to the eagle looking at the olive branch.
So a seal with the eagle looking at the arrows signals war, but it could also signal going back to the values of the constitutional republic.
At the recent speech Trump did remotely to the WEF, the other picture below was shown in the background.
The eagle faces the arrows. I think he signaled with that the war message to the WEF and going back to the real constitutional republic. 😉
#Bitcoin won't need governments to stockpile it.
Bitcoin is by the people and for the people.
It will be adopted anyway, because there is a need for it.
If someone discovers it, educates himself and then gets that ahaaah-moment, it's very powefull.
After that people get a lot of conviction to defend it.
One adopter after another.
Don't be worried, the fiat price of bitcoin will do just fine. 😉

So here are examples of apps where the phone sensors are used:
Accelerometer:
- fitnessapps
- Snapchat (with mapping)
- driving apps (in order to show your current speed)
Gyroscope:
- gaming apps (for instance racing)
Magnetometer:
- Google maps and other mapping apps (compass mode)
- Compass apps
- metal detector apps.
I'd say that the sensors are widely used in apps. But I do appreciate that GrapheneOS is intending to make a Sensors Off toggle as well. 👍🏻
It is still in developer options, because less technical users turn that option on and forget about it. Later they find out that certain apps don't work properly anymore and then don't know how to fix it.
Yes, it is a more privacy focused OS. However, it still grants apps acces to those sensors, camera and the mic even when these apps aren't used at that moment.
To have this one click button to turn them off, the procedure is the same as with android. 😉
#Android #Privacy
So here's a trick for those that use an android phone. Go to :
Settings>About phone>Software information> tap build number 7 times>enter your pin.
Now your phone is in developer mode.
Go to the main page of settings>developer options>quick settings developer tiles>enable sensors off.
Now go back to your main phone screen and swipe down to the quick settings. You'll see now a new icon on top left that says: Sensors off.
If You turn that on, camera's, mic, gyroscope and accelerometer will be disabled.
It's great for moments when privacy is needed in the real world while having your phone with You. 😉
Agreed!
I'm being shadow banned there for years.
When You critisize Musk there, You'll get censored.
Musk is just a manager. He didn't invent things, he just bought companies and let others do the work.
