"Don't take refuge in the false security of consensus." - Christopher Hitchens

If it has an app, it's spying on you, it's simply too profitable to not do it. It starts with crash reports and similar useful stuff and soon the MBAs and marketing asshats stuff in ACR ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_content_recognition ) and ads soon follow.

The screen can send data via wifi (if it has that) or bounce through your phone if it uses bluetooth.

"Pausing" elections during times of war is not uncommon, IIRC Britain didn't have major elections during WW2.

It's not simple to run a fair election in peacetime, running one while part of the country is under enemy control + bombs are falling doesn't exactly make it easier.

It's a Russian talking point and a pretty easy one to figure out (elections in Russia are rigged).

Exactly the same approach here, the only shows that have passed the test the last many years have been: Mr Robot, Breaking Bad and Black Mirror (that's not a traditional show, it's just mostly good short films).

Saves so much time compared to binging short term profit optimized slop.

You're supposed to find a guy named Jesus and have him do it for you, that way you are free to do other things. May I suggest a double dutch rudder style situation perhaps.

This may already be answered elsewhere, so bear with me if it's been made clear or if the paper was debunked.

The 2018?-ish paper I have seen mentioned in various debates on knots vs core mentions one image already in the blockchain suspected (but not verified) of being CSAM.

If someone dug up the transaction containing this image and made it public or maybe if law enforcement verified that it was indeed CSAM (perhaps they found the victim and/or perpetrator) - would it for people on the Knots side either not be seen as CSAM because it wasn't continuous and/or "sanctioned" data OR result in a bunch on the Knots side quitting Bitcoin (or maybe forking from a block 7+ years in the past)?

Switzerland and UAE are two I recall off the top of my head.

You will probably have to pay an exit tax of your existing stack if you move (depending on the rules where you live).

My guess would be because it's a relatively new concept and there are pitfalls wrt. taking out a loan against Bitcoin collateral.

Also some countries have low (or no) taxes on profits from selling Bitcoin.

Could also be a risk-off and/or portfolio rebalancing thing for them, where they take the profits and put them in a global stock index fund for example.

Firefox+uBlock origin and maybe a pihole works great. For the few stubborn sites reader mode often works.

The last idiot hasn't been born yet. It's a numbers game.

I recently encountered a man who was scammed by the classic "you have crypto in an account with us you bought a long time ago, pay $X to us in taxes and we'll send it to you" scam phone call.

He never bought crypto and yet he fell for it. Doesn't get better that a fair share of the scammers are slaves.

Sadly it's often we hear shit like this in Denmark, one of his predecessors (same party) argued that more surveillance equals more freedom.

And as always politicians are exempt from the surveillance machine in the laws they are proposing 🤡🎺

They are going for this in chrome as well, with "attestation" I think they call it.

To verify that the browser is as they want it to be, website owners will then be able to block users with unverified browsers 🤡🎺

I live again!

Fun game for multiplayer!

Been using ollama for text summaries, so far the mistral-small3.2, mistral-nemo and gemma3 models seem like they do the best job.

They can all hallucinate stuff into the summaries, not sure how to minimize the chance of that happening.
