Google has decided it now wants to KYC customers of Android phones. This is all being done in the name of safety bla bla bla to "end anonymity". In other words they have decided to kill Android. The best solution is building more FOSS alternatives and make Google obsolete.

This shouldn't surprise anyone. A lot of people may have bitcoin in their wallets but they have fiat in their hearts. I'm glad they are taking off the masks View quoted note →

Faraday cages exist for this very reason. Out of curiosity is GrapheneOS resistant to stuff like Pegasus? @GrapheneOS

My first Nostr article has dropped! Let me know what you think once you check it out 😊💜🙏🏻

"For decades, dollar dependency created a classic prisoner's dilemma for sanctioned states: continue using the dollar-denominated system (and remain exposed to US financial weaponry), or exit the system and face the economic isolation that follows. Both choices led to bad outcomes. Exit was severely punished and compliance was exploited. There was no dominant strategy but only varying degrees of submission. Until now, thanks to Bitcoin." @Kudzai Kutukwa Very interesting that it's always the rogue states or "criminals" that are usually quick to catch on when it comes to technological innovations. The drug dealers got to Bitcoin before the mom and pop stores, and it was the racketeers that found utility in cellphones before the average Joe. Necessity is the mother of invention after all.

Paganini Caprice No.5 by Maria Dueñas

Not amused at all 😒

Scam Altman says he wants to sell you "intelligence" like a utility. Of course it's a free market, you can buy from him if you so choose but the model he is describing here sounds very familiar to the creature from Jekyll Island that was created in 1913. That's one of the reasons why they are spreading the narrative of AI is going to take all the jobs; when in reality creative destruction is the path of all technological advancements. That said, what these ghouls are building is INTENDED to destroy jobs in the name of efficiency & centralize control of information online, while dumbing you down to be unable to have a single thought without consulting ChatGPT or Grok. Then you will be told to get an AI chip in your brain to make you "more competitive in the market", without which you will be stuck on UBI eating gvt cheese.

Most people are trained slaves with no desire for true liberty. Freedom is not easy to obtain and is even harder to maintain that's why they shy away from it and would rather crawl into a voting booth every four years to vote for a politician that they know will not deliver on at least half what he is promising, while secretly hoping that he will make their lives better nonetheless. The uncomfortable reality is that there is no freedom without responsibility, in the same way that slavery requires dependency. We have lost our privacy in the modern age because we made ourselves dependents of the tech demons and their companies. The PATRIOT Act and FISA courts are both unconstitutional and immoral but they continue to exist because the chains of slavery have lulled us into a false sense of security and comfort. There is no security or freedom for that matter without privacy.

Good morning Nostr! Pura Vida 💜

"The real question is not whether humanity can engineer better money. We already have. The real question is whether the capacity to build still survives beneath the scar tissue of fiat thinking, short-termism, and performative hustle. Whether somewhere beneath the algorithmically managed personalities and dopamine economies, there still exists a builder. A true craftsman immune to the virtue signaling bug." Very deep and introspective piece @Kudzai Kutukwa 👏🏻💜 View article →
