Man in the middle attacks by Meta apps placing rootkits on phones to intercept and decrypt traffic (e.g. break SSL) ostensibly for Snapchat intelligence, but in practice for anything targeted. Basically, Israeli spyware via Meta’s acquisition of Onavo.

Go look up Jason Kint - Whoa. Facebook had a secret "Project Ghostbusters" (get it?) which allegedly was to decrypt "man-in-the-middle" style Snapchat traffic to copy it. Yellow highlight indicates redactions just lifted in nine unsealed plaintiffs briefs in private antitrust lawsuit. Wild stuff.

A billion dollars is 1,000 times $1 million. That means a billionaire has a thousand times more wealth than a millionaire . . .If you have $10,000 in the bank, congratulations: You’re 10 times closer to becoming a millionaire than a millionaire is to reaching billionaire statu Being a millionaire is basically middle class now.

Have an off-grid location with a solar set up. It will be vacant for long streaches of the year so I am wondering if there is a way I could run a miner, since the power is basically just not used? 48V system 35.5 kWh Twelve 285W PV modules Twelve Trojan L16RE-2V batteries (1,110 Ah battery bank) Only power draw besides the miner would be the internet (starlink). Are there some options in the market for this already, or will I need to go down the rabbit hole fulltime and build my own? #solar #mining #plebminer #offgrid #bitcoin

#Subsidiarity is an organizing principle that matters ought to be handled by the smallest, lowest or least centralized competent authority. Political decisions should be taken at a local level if possible, rather than by a central authority.

What causes #poverty? Nothing. It's the original state, the default and starting point. The real question is, What causes #prosperity? Poverty is the lack of wealth, which must be created. #Prosperity is the state of having created or otherwise acquired wealth. The former must have preceded the latter, both logically and historically. This post is about well-being in societies. Hence, "prosperity." Prosperity must be created. Regulations are restrictions imposed on value-creative actions. -Per Bylund-

I prefer to live in rural areas. One of the annoying things about it is that almost all information regarding anything going on or available is only on Facebook (as if the internet isn't a thing, just Facebook). I go without because I just can't do FB. I use to have burner profiles but even that is tedious. Word of mouth is pretty much the only alternative. It's a funny thing. When I travel I literally have to call specific local people who stay up-to-date on what's happening locally. In some ways it's awesome and in other ways it is crazy making! #TimePreference

This is kind of stupid, but it's times like these I like to think about the people who I have sent BTC to over the years. It's kind of an intimate thing for the ones who held. For those who didn't it's regret and excuses. When I buy stuff with #Sats that stuff has to be really worth it to me. I have probably spent more sats zapping on Nostr and buying Nostr related services then anything else at this point. The coolest thing about that is almost all the Nostr services have improved during that time, just like the sats I sent them.
