So many people went to the No Kings protests today and waved signs against tyranny and authoritarianism. And yet most of them will continue to support tyranny by voting for more corrupt "lesser of two evils" politicians, by continuing to comply and pay taxes that fund authoritarianism, murder, extortion, theft, and mass surveillance, and by continuing to use the fiat banking system. They are LARPing to feel like they are "doing something" to fight back against the evil they know is there, while not actually doing a damn thing. I don't have any problem with protesting, protesting is great. What I have a problem with is people protesting evil while simultaneously helping enable that evil. Opt the fuck out.

Your local government probably told you the Flock cameras they were installing were just for locating missing people, stolen cars, and serious criminals. Mission creep is already happening, and the state police in Georgia have begun using the cameras for revenue generation. #flock #privacy #surveillance #Georgia

Freedom tech isn't needed for some hypothetical future dystopia....it's needed right now. The dystopia has already arrived. The ruling class is in the process of locking down our most valuable tool for freedom, the internet itself. They want to doxx every single user of the internet, stifling free speech and dissent. Age verification is being mandated at the operating system and app store level. They are deleting videos and posts while also going after archive dot org. They want full control of what is online and how it is accessed. Most people are still not even aware that decentralized FOSS alternatives to major tech platforms even exist or what the implications of these changes to the internet are. The sheep are sleepwalking into the slaughterhouse. So what are we going to do about it? #privacy #freedomtech #ageverification #FOSS

Reddit wants to scan your face. Get off of any platform that implements mandatory #ageverification, let them lanquish and die with no users. Delete delete delete. Then make #FOSS decentralized versions of these applications or use the ones that already exist. Anyone who continues to use a platform like #Reddit if they implement face scanning is part of the problem. DAU is the only thing these companies care about so let's destroy their numbers. One way we win this is if we completely wreck their revenue to the point where these companies are forced to lobby against this #digitalID bullshit. #privacy #facialrecognition #socialmedia

The ruling class was able the distract the entire feed from the #Epstein files by simply starting the #Iran war. It's honestly kind of impressive in a sick kind of way. To be fair, they did try #aliens first. 🤔

It's easier to manage multiple identities online if you compartmentalize them into entirely separate devices. This prevents a multitude of potential user errors that can occur whilst juggling different identities on a single device using virtual machines. Keep it simple. #privacy #opsec

Today is rare disease day. I have hope that the cost of high quality medical care and treatments is about to drop like a rock. Not because politicians will actually fix our scam of a medical system, where incentives are misaligned and gatekeepers are everywhere. The cost will go down because of open source technology. I hold on to hope that medical treatment is about to improve exponentially through AI. They will try to gatekeep OFC but the open source medicine movement will win in the end. There's already at home pharm labs, open source, and buildable with off the shelf parts. One day people will download expensive patent medications like they were downloading a pirated movie, load it up into the neighborhood basement pharmacy, and get low cost medication. Open source surgery robots, doctor AIs, etc. We can't rely on politicians to fix the scam that is the American medical system, so we simply route around the system entirely and drop the cost ourselves. The state and medical industry will fight this tech hard though, they make too much money on gatekeeping medical care, but they can't stop it. #MAHA #medicalfreedom #FOSS #AI

#AI is making it much easier to deanonymize pseudonyms. For about $4 in tokens you can doxx someone in a fraction of the time it used to take. This means the great AI powered doxxing is coming, and it's going to end the era of easy pseudonymity. If you have multiple identities online and you want avoid them being linked together for 4 dollars in AI tokens, here's what you can do. Say you have identity A and identity B and you want them to remain separate. 1. Cleaning up. Delete anything you have already written online if possible from identity B. 2. From this point forward, take anything you post online under identity B and run it through a self hosted private LLM, tell the LLM to rewrite it in the voice of Hemingway or whatever. 3. Then take the output and run it through a different LLM model and tell it to rewrite it again in yet another voice. 4. Sacrifice a goat and pray 5. Now post the rewritten content and it should be unlinkable to identity A. Theoretically this will work for at least 5 months before the models get good enough to work backwards through that whole process. 6. You know what just log off we are all fucked. #privacy #opsec

Capitalism would be great, if you remove the state and central banking. With their interference, it becomes just slavery for most people and obscene riches and power for a select few. Fuck that shit.

First WA now CA don't want you to have 1A or 2A. Newest ghost gun bill wants to approve ur files before you can print. It'd be nice if the new trend of liberals buying the shit out of guns would lead to them not doing this bullshit.... Everyone should have the right to print guns all day every day. #ghostguns #3dprinting

If #Bitcoin or #Monero isn't listed as an accepted payment method for whatever good or service you want, email them and ask politely if they would be willing to accept it. From experience, sometimes they say yes. Even if they don't, an email costs you nothing and it at least let's the business know that there is interest. If businesses don't know that accepting Bitcoin and/or Monero could get them more business, they are unlikely to add it. Reach out! #countereconomics

Inscriptions have been on the decline, most ordinals are worthless, runes are dead, the NFT market has been down only. Seems like the market is taking care of it.... So where's the emergency? Genuinely curious. Are people worried inscription activity will suddenly rise again in future? #BIP110 #bitcoin

Everyone should keep all social media activity 100% anonymous. Unless you stick to funny cat videos and sports, you never know if something you say online today could get you thrown into a prison camp in the future. Governments rise and they fall. Laws change and freedom ebbs and flows. Something that might be considered acceptable today could be illegal tomorrow. One day soon an algorithm might read every thing you have ever posted. Even if you didn't post any one thing that would be considered too controversial, the sum of all your posts might score high enough to get you marked for reeducation or worse. A machine might consider you a high risk for becoming a "domestic terrorist" (a label that is already getting thrown around very easily) and if your socials are linked to your real life identity... then you will probably get a visit from some drones and robots. Maybe they will just surveil you, or maybe they will preemptively arrest you. The algo thinking there is a high likelihood that you will commit a crime in the future may be enough for you to lose your freedom. If you are expecting the constitution to protect you....ask yourself if your constitutional rights have gotten stronger or weaker over time? They will sell the AI control grid as necessary for our protection (possibly with the help of one or more false flags), and the sheep will comply. This sounds like dystopian sci fi, but the systems required for this kind of control are already being built out with billions of dollars in taxpayer money. Taxpayers are helping fund their own enslavement. Opt out of these systems now and learn how to protect yourself before the exits close. #optout #thoughtcrimetraphouse #privacy #AI #surveillance #palantir

Along with everyone else and their mothers, I am trying to become a "content creator" to hopefully earn some sats eventually. What I've realized so far -When you don't have a following, nobody is going to care what your opinion is. -So instead of constantly sharing my opinion, I need to focus more on providing value and building trust. -I can provide value by teaching people what I've learned by living outside the system for more than a decade, by sharing new methods and techniques for protecting privacy, and by finding cool shit aka curation. -I don't know how much effort I want to put into building a following as an anon on X when it feels like some kind of age verification/doxxing is inevitable if I want to continue using the platform. -Nostr feels like a better place to build a following, but I don't know if there are enough users that would be interested in what I have to offer. -I have to network and actually talk to people. I am way better at talking to people IRL than I am online. I feel like I have a better chance at success by joining forces with other small creators in my niche than trying to just compete with them for limited attention. #thoughts #socialmedia #nostr

Public service announcement: This year virtual tickets to the annual Monerotopia conference in Mexico City are free. I think that's like 8 hours a day of livestreamed speakers talking about #Monero, #privacy, and related topics. Hell yeah, tune in Feb 12 to 15. Some of the talks will be in Spanish.

Our MoneroTopia Conferences are four days packed with Digital Cash, Privacy Tech and Opting Out Talks, Workshops, Hackathon, A Monero Marketplace, ...

Reason of the day that the state is completely evil and unsalvageable. You as a pleb can easily get more prison time for psychedelic drugs than rich pedos get for sex crimes against minors. The state has created a society that treats victimless crimes more harshly than crimes against children. Fuck that. It's past time that we the people, who outnumber these evil fucks greatly, stop funding and supporting evil by participating in their slavery systems. We have the tools, let's use them. #epstein

A good PSA courtesy of L0laL33tz for anyone taking a look at the #EpsteinFiles "PSA: please use TOR Browser to access these files. Akamai, the content delivery system hosting the documents, is suspected to be a bulk surveillance tool that was tied up in the NSA's foreign spying scandal."

We are witnessing the collapse of the fiat monetary scam in real time. How much value has flowed from fiat into #silver and #gold in a year's time? It is a number the human brain isn't even capable of understanding. I'm scared and excited at the same time.

The average pleb has much more power to resist the coercion of the state than they realize. When plebs join together that power increases exponentially. Violent resistance is pointless, you just end up dead or in a cage. Nonviolent resistance using countereconomics, encryption, unschooling, mesh networking, countersurveillance, and other tools is much more effective. If we manage to shift control of money from the state to the people using technology such as #bitcoin and #monero , then we will start to win. But we have to actually take action and not just talk about it. It will take a lot of work, but the world will become a better place for our children. The alternative is slavery.

Is there any future for #Lightning in which the majority of people aren't using custodial wallets to access it? If not, than should it really be the main payments layer for a decentralized permissionless protocol like #Nostr ? These two systems seem to be in conflict, in my mind at least.
