The UK has quite literally gone insane…

I find it interesting someone shared an article with me months ago that the porn industry (always ahead of the curve regarding tech), says they're excited for the end of the internet, at the end of this decade.

Found that something to ponder on

⚡️ 🇬🇧 The ordeal of a man who owns crypto ⤵︎

A gang of seven criminals who kidnapped, tortured, and extorted a man for £100,000 in cryptocurrency over several months has been sentenced to a total of more than 76 years in prison by the Manchester court.

The victim reportedly endured repeated assaults, threats, and captivity until police rescued him in December 2023, also discovering weapons.

His ordeal began in January 2023 when he was attacked at home by a man demanding cryptocurrency. Fearing for his life, he complied. Later, others returned, this time armed with a knife, and forced him to hand over more funds.

In October 2023, the victim was lured to an address in Manchester, where another member of the gang dragged him inside, tied him up, and forced him to send more cryptocurrency. He was then kidnapped and locked in a cupboard. After paying, he was released.

A few days later, they targeted him again, taking him to another property in Manchester where they placed a bag over his head and demanded more cryptocurrency.

The police were eventually alerted by an anonymous phone call and rescued him. The victim had burn marks on his hand, bruises on his body, and injuries from being struck with weapons.

Take care my friends from #Nostr 🫂

SmartTube? 🤔

I feel doxxed.

That was a good alternative but since weeks it's just frustrating cause every video won't play. I also tried clipious and freetube but it's basically the same.

If you could have any super power, what would it be and why?

What super powers seem under-explored in fiction?

GrapheneOS is fantastic. I use it every day and kind of take it for granted, it's good to stop for a minute and be grateful that it exists.

It runs smooth on my Pixel, I got the hang of fine-grained permissions, used multiple profiles and the private space. I have most of the apps I need, battery is quite good, and Google or big tech is refreshingly absent.

The only noticeable downgrade from an iPhone in my experience is the camera and image-related software. Camera app is too basic and sometimes crashes, image quality is average, and image editing capabilities are very limited.

In all other aspects, definitely an upgrade. Highly recommend making the move.

How would you describe your current diet?
