It just keeps getting worse and worse.

Not only is Apple's "alternative app" store a complete larp and only available in the EU, but developers must still get permission from Apple to distribute their app, must still pay Apple 0.50 EU per install passed 1M users, and will be unable to distribute a version of their app that gets around their ToS on an alternative store and also a ToS-approved version on the main store.

"Developers will only be allowed to distribute a single version of their app across different app stores"

Current progress on private Bitcoin transactions:

1. Silent Payments:
   - Silent Payments, a concept similar to BIP47, enhances privacy in Bitcoin transactions by allowing users to create reusable payment codes.
   - These payment codes can be tweaked by others to create unique public addresses, known only to the sender and receiver.
   - Ruben Somsen, who suggested Silent Payments, is a notable figure in the Bitcoin community. He emphasizes that this approach eliminates the data usage tradeoff associated with BIP47, reducing the load on operators with full nodes.
   - The first silent payment transaction was initiated on the Bitcoin testnet, Signet, in May 2022
https://www.thecoinrepublic.com/2022/05/27/how-do-silent-payments-increase-more-privacy-in-bitcoin-blockchain-transactions/

2. BIP-324:
   - BIP-324 aims to add HTTPS-like encryption to Bitcoin, improving the security and privacy of transactions.
   - It helps prevent private metadata from leaking and allows for the verification that no malicious man-in-the-middle attacks are occurring during transactions.
   - The introduction of BIP-324 would mean that session IDs used in transactions could help identify and prevent attacks, enhancing overall security and privacy https://protos.com/bip-324-heres-everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-bitcoin-proposal/

3. BIP 157/158 - Client-Side Block Filtering:
   - These BIPs introduce client-side block filtering to enhance privacy on the Bitcoin network.
   - They allow clients to specify the types of transactions they’re interested in, reducing the amount of data received and enhancing privacy.
   - This approach improves privacy by allowing users to selectively retrieve only the transactions relevant to them https://www.doubloin.com/learn/bitcoin-bip-privacy-improvements

4. Schnorr Signatures:
   - Although not specified by a BIP number in the sources, Schnorr Signatures represent an important advancement in Bitcoin privacy.
   - They allow the aggregation of multiple signatures into a single signature, making it harder for observers to determine individual participants in a transaction.
   - This method enhances privacy by obfuscating the link between addresses and transactions https://www.doubloin.com/learn/bitcoin-bip-privacy-improvements


Ohhh more progress than I assumed 👀

https://bitcoincore.reviews/28122


An actually relevant link: this BIP natively allows encrypted P2P data transfer on the Bitcoin blockchain.

I don't see any silent spending feature in Bitcoin Core itself, but I see a lot of positive building blocks.

Taproot could possibly be used to add signature rings to Bitcoin transactions since it is very scriptable, but this would be complex and require special support in wallets.

If there's something I missed here, I'd be happy to see it.

https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0324.mediawiki


Oh sorry my bad I didn't see that you responded to the comment specifically about blind spending in Bitcoin Core.

*downs some coffee* 😂


The primary difference between LN and Monero for privacy as a regular user is that the recipient node is always public on LN. Both sender and receiver are anonymous on Monero. So are all wallets and balances. The only thing the blockchain ever shows is "anon sent an unknown amount of money to another anon."

There's a lot of complex details regarding the design of the underlying cryptography as well, such as rings and decoy transactions. This makes unmasking transactions much more difficult because you don't even know what to target.

The nostr:npub1tr4dstaptd2sp98h7hlysp8qle6mw7wmauhfkgz3rmxdd8ndprusnw2y5g link on Monero that's already been posted further down is a great resource to learn more.

i dont like how Climate Change™ and Woke pop culture are used to shield mega-corporations. They get to appear environmentally virtuous while doing nothing to curb their actual environmental pollution.
A company can put metric tons of micro plastics into the water table, but as long as their CEO flies a rainbow flag and their transgender CFO warns about “the Climate Emergency” they get off scott free, and the Woke popculture midwit mob cheers for them.
They all remind me of the Roman aristocracy boiling down their grape syrup in lead lined pots because it made the syrup sweeter.

Good way of looking at it. I agree. I'd be very surprised if we didn't see enhanced privacy in LN in the future taking inspiration from Monero's design.

Weird logic too. There's still 21m Bitcoin. Even if there was 10 billion XMR, there'd still only be 21 million BTC.

Monero devalues Bitcoin in the same way an armoured truck devalues a G-Wagon. Apples and oranges.


Another great one is https://exch.cx although they often get their XMR liquidity wiped out so timing is key.

https://kycnot.me is a great resource too.


Monero has a tried and tested threat model and secure design. In Lightening, everyone always knows the recipient node. In Monero, no one knows anything.

Like anything security related it's never perfect and vulns pop up but by design it is very good for privacy.

The main way Monero transactions are unmasked is by sharing the same UTXO between CeX's, so if you must use a CeX, churn your coins (send to yourself to make a new UTXO).

That's about it.

DNM admins and vendors trust their freedom to this and the smart ones with good OPSEC have been operating for many years.

I would love to see Lightning support the same level of privacy but it's still early for LN on the privacy front.

lol. not saying this about everyone, love my bitcoin fam, but it needs to be said that the 'toxic btc cult' reputation seems well earned for more than a few of you.

it's generally the one's who just parrot blanket 'btc is the saviour, everything else is a shitcoin'  statements, don't speak with their own words, link to sources they don't really comprehend, think nostr is private, only recently learned why they need a vpn on the internet and don't actually understand how all this privacy stuff works.

harsh? yes. so have recent comments been. bring it. love the free speech.

again this is not for most of you #plebchain. most of you have level heads and still love bitcoin. i am an avid bitcoiner, but i don't drink the cool-aid and ignore it's shortcomings.

bitcoin is about freedom. privacy is essential for freedom. it is complicated to have privacy on a public ledger. bitcoin is an awesome store of value, but it needs a 2nd layer for greater privacy and to solve the fungibility problem. lightning is maturing. cashu is also maturing. monero solves the spend issue now with privacy baked in on a protocol level. it is currency. it's meant to be spent.

No I know. I'm referring to the capitalisation in the description.


Your pension is fiat either way. If you have the choice, why not have it as fiat tied to BTC? You can't have a self-custodial pension so you pick the lesser evil.


It is true that self-custody Bitcoin is obviously the only "real" way to own Bitcoin, but it's nice to be able to invest without taxes for the money I leave in fiat. I'd rather have it tied to BTC than tied to inflationary fiat currencies. The rest, ofc, goes to buying actual Bitcoin.

Governments are spying on U.S. smartphone users through the push notifications that they receive from apps, Senator Ron Wyden wrote in a letter to the Department of Justice on Wednesday and Apple confirmed.

Wyden wrote that the federal government had restricted Apple and other companies’ ability to share information about this process. The Senator’s office “received a tip” last year that “government agencies in foreign countries were demanding smartphone ‘push’ notification records from Google and Apple,” Wyden, a Democratic senator from Oregon, wrote in the letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland. “My staff have been investigating this tip for the past year, which included contacting Apple and Google. In response to that query, the companies told my staff that information about this practice is restricted from public release by the government.”

Apple confirmed in a statement to Reuters on Wednesday that, “In this case, the federal government prohibited us from sharing any information. Now that this method has become public we are updating our transparency reporting to detail these kinds of requests.”

The process by which push notifications are generated requires the phone company to serve as a “digital post office,” Wyden wrote. Push notifications are sent through Apple and Google's servers, which means that the companies “serve as intermediaries in the transmission process,” and can therefore be made to hand over information to governments that request it.

According to Wyden’s letter, the information that can be gleaned from push notification requests is mostly metadata. This includes information “detailing which app received a notification and when, as well as the phone and associated Apple or Google account to which that notification was intended to be delivered,” Wyden wrote. In some cases, requesters may even receive unencrypted content such as the text that was delivered in the notification.

The senator said that companies can therefore “be secretly compelled by governments to hand over this information.”

An unnamed source confirmed to Reuters that both foreign and U.S. government agencies had been asking the companies for push notification data, for example to tie anonymous users of messaging apps to specific accounts. They did not say which government agencies had participated in this, or for how long.

Apple advises its developers to encrypt any sensitive data sent through a push notification, but does not require this practice.

An Apple spokesperson told Motherboard that the company was “committed to transparency” and had “long been a supporter of efforts to ensure that providers are able to disclose as much information as possible to their users.” The spokesperson said that Apple had updated its law enforcement guidelines and would begin to break out the requests for push notifications that it had received in its next transparency report.

Apple’s new law enforcement guidelines now include a section on the company’s push notification service. “The Apple ID associated with a registered APNs [Apple Push Notification service] token may be obtained with a subpoena or greater legal process,” the document states.

A Google spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Motherboard: “We were the first major company to publish a public transparency report sharing the number and types of government requests for user data we receive, including the requests referred to by Senator Wyden. We share the Senator’s commitment to keeping users informed about these requests.” The spokesperson did not clarify any restrictions on publishing information relating to requests for push notification data.

“Apple and Google should be permitted to be transparent about the legal demands they receive, particularly from foreign governments,” Wyden wrote. “These companies should be permitted to generally reveal whether they have been compelled to facilitate this surveillance practice, to publish aggregate statistics about the number of demands they receive, and unless temporarily gagged by a court, to notify specific customers about demands for their data. I would ask that the DOJ repeal or modify any policies that impede this transparency.”

Ha! In my "custom instructions" under "what you would like ChatGPT to know" I put in that I'm in the UK, been like that for a while. But since the Turbo update it's now started using Brit slang like "bloke" when I ask it random questions.

I'm easily impressed I know, but I like those little details.


They’re still here https://image.nostr.build/d9812e6d8fc305a474113dbb48a2a68b6b72e8006cb3defaaca4e67e0689a638.jpg


Deffo. GPT-4 Turbo can give longer answers with 2x less compute power vs GPT-4 according to the press release.

No way to verify that scientifically ofc but it feels about right judging by UX. Even GPT-4 was neutered a bit on mobile. I noticed it was using Turbo when I started getting long answers even on my phone. I legit thought it was still only available via the API until I noticed the difference on mobile and asked it if it was using Turbo now. So I seriously do notice a real difference.


It is, I only bother using GPT-4 now, you can't go back once you're used to it.


Nostr fixes this 💜✨🤙!

Woah GPT-4 Turbo gives long detailed answers, significant difference from regular GPT-4. Currently getting it in the ChatGPT app. You can ask it if it's the turbo version and it'll tell you, or just ask it something and see how much detail it goes into. You still need a paid subscription for GPT-4 access though.

**Why this new trend of shoehorning woke agendas into entertainment is objectively terrible writing, using the Hero's Journey and Story Circle as comparisons for how good storytelling works, with amusing metaphors!**

When stories are too busy pushing an agenda, it’s like trying to make a smoothie with a hammer – wrong tool, messy results. Let’s mash this up with the Story Circle and the Hero’s Journey to see why:

 1. Comfort Zone & Call to Adventure: A story usually starts with a character in their world, minding their own beeswax. Then comes the call to adventure. But, if the story’s too busy waving its agenda flag, the adventure feels more like a lecture. It’s like being invited to a party and ending up at a timeshare presentation.

 2. Entering Unfamiliar Situations & Refusal of the Call: Good stories toss our hero into new situations, making them face challenges. But if the story’s got an agenda heavier than a sack of bricks, the hero’s journey becomes predictable, like reading a manual. The refusal of the call turns into a refusal to engage with complexity or nuance.

 3. Adapting & Meeting the Mentor: Here, our hero learns and grows, often with a mentor’s help. But when a story’s pushing an agenda, the mentor often turns into a mouthpiece, spouting off the agenda like a broken jukebox, and the hero adapts less to challenges and more to the script.

 4. Approach to Inmost Cave & The Ordeal: The heart of the story, where the stakes are high. In agenda-driven tales, the ordeal can feel more like a soapbox than a climax. The narrative’s more about proving a point than the hero’s battle, and the inmost cave feels as shallow as a kiddie pool.

 5. Reward & Resurrection: Our hero should come out changed, wiser. But in a story with too much agenda, the reward often feels unearned, like getting a trophy just for showing up. The resurrection, instead of being a transformation, turns into a reaffirmation of the agenda, as subtle as a neon sign.

 6. Return with the Elixir: A great story ends with the hero bringing something back, a change that impacts their world. But, when the story’s been too busy preaching, the return feels hollow, like coming back from a journey where you only talked to people who agree with you.

The art of storytelling is as old as time, and the most memorable tales are those that resonate with us on a human level, not just because they’re trying to hammer in a point.

When a story’s too preoccupied with an agenda, it’s like a chef who forgets about flavour because they’re too focused on the plate’s presentation. The essence of storytelling is growth, challenge, transformation. If a story sacrifices these on the altar of an agenda, it’s like a meal without seasoning – it fills you up but leaves you craving some real spice.

Entertainment, at its best, should be a buffet of experiences, ideas, and emotions, not a one-flavour dish served cold.

It now shows proper transaction history for any given Bitcoin address like it should have done in the first place. And it'll update the fee suggestions and Bitcoin price every five minutes.

Try it!

https://bitcoinku.sh/


What I've definitely learnt here is you don't even need fancy prompt engineering to build usable basic web apps with GPT-4.

You do need at least a basic understanding of how programming works so you can troubleshoot or provide useful data for ChatGPT to understand where bugs are. First versions rarely work 100% and it needs to be told things like the structure of data returned by API calls.

(It's pretty good at researching the endpoints itself, but other bits it needs to be told.)

However, as an "assistant" tool it is incredible no question about it. And in just a few months this note will absolutely be very outdated.

Now with transaction fee recommendations.

The next step of course is to host a full node so I don't have to rely on APIs for blockchain info at all. Why didn't I do this now? I don't currently have a clearnet accessible node so I made do just to see what I could throw together.

Love it when I actually find a perfect use for one of my cool domains ha


Been using React, very easy one to get started with and it's cross platform. Currently just doing web apps but React Native can also compile for Android and iOS.


Bitcoin Blockchain Explorer: https://bitcoinku.sh/

Using the Mempool API to look up addresses and CoinGecko API to show the current Bitcoin price.

Might also add the current recommended tx fees also from the Mempool API, and of course extra info from the chain for any given address, the Mempool API has some very high quality endpoints available.

This is just a basic starting point for a Bitcoin related React webapp. Again will throw on GitHub once I've refined it a bit and added more functions and data.


Making a Bitcoin Blockchain explorer. Just making the CSS look good before I throw it up.


Okay the UX on my little movie search app is now much much cleaner and more responsive on mobile.

I'll throw it on GitHub when I'm fully happy with it.

Fixed those bugs, it now trims the search input and converts it all to lowercase.

CSS needs a total rewrite tbh. But I'm hungry now.


Woop! Added some error handling when I tested it as well, e.g. too short queries don't return anything from the API so I added a check for that.

One remaining bug I noticed is that the search doesn't work if there's uppercase letters or spaces at the end, should be easy to add logic to check for that, but most urgent imo is it's currently awful on mobile.

But yes it actually works!


Okay this looks awful on mobile... need to fix that.

Try it on desktop.

Seeing all the impressive web apps made using ChatGPT I spent a couple hours throwing this together.

I know it's not exactly great but keep in mind this is my first time using the React framework to make a site from scratch. Just wanted to see if it could be done with no experience of the framework to test ChatGPT's skillz.

Made a better one with a Python backend using Flask because I actually know Python, but that stack is overkill for a simple project so I started again in React.

Anyway this is the result!

https://mov.2nodez.com/


It's improved since I last asked it about Nostr, it understands what it is and can attempt to code a web app that shows events from given relays, and it connects to those relays, but it can't successfully subscribe to them even after I point it to protocol docs.

It's likely possible to make it work, but at the time of writing it also seems like more effort than just coding it yourself and having ChatGPT just handle the UX, graphics, and other non-protocol specific stuff.


Can I use ChatGPT to make a Nostr client?

Only one way to find out.


I will say though, as impressive as the AI is, it is very much just a tool. I think Microsoft's "Copilot" branding is accurate. It still needs a human to prompt, test, and debug.

Although looking at things like LangChain I think the testing bit will be pretty well automated next year. Already it is excellent for debugging.


Just made a fully functional Flask webapp and the logo for it just using GPT-4. Any bugs that popped up, I had GPT-4 fix all by itself. I am seriously stunned.

There are some I've found on BTC Maps but not many and none local to me.


I've had good fun using it via GPT-4, but yes I'd like direct access to it too, ChatGPT rewrites the prompts and has the classic strict content policy.

Ultimately I wanna buy a good GPU and run Stable Diffusion locally.


Suddenly I'm more happy paying for a ChatGPT Plus subscription now that Mr Worldcoin was kicked out as CEO.

Back in the early days of twitter clients could say their name in posts. It was a really good way to discover new twitter apps. It was dropped in 2012 as part of twitter abandoning the open app ecosystem.

I’d like to have that feature in Nostr. For example, today I’ve posted from nos.social, damus, coracle, listr, and primal.

To make it short, maybe we don’t do a user-agent like string, but instead add a field or tag to events with the app name. Then apps can store a name to link url depending on how they want to use it and make it visible and clickable or not.

That's the general sentiment around him indeed, he's a twat but he's entertaining and can be clever when he needs to be, that's my view anyway ha.

Got to the battle he had with the council now, I love how he's just gone "suing you would cost too much I'll just find loopholes." Big applause from me. Those councils are as he said laws unto themselves.

And yes I like the idea of living off your own land as well, with a small piece of land it's far more manageable.


Going through the second series now, impressed with how he dealt with all those haters in the village who were obviously hating just to have something to hate.

But for sure first one was more interesting going into more detail about the actual farming. Definitely got much more respect for farmers after learning more about the hard work they do for an unpredictable reward and often a loss.

McAfee was right.

I legit tested positive for Covid just a few weeks ago. What happened? I was ill with something milder than the flu, literally just a bad cold, for two days. Then I was fine. Went straight back to work.

This was also after I was forced to get Pfizer's shitty jab before I'd be allowed to undergo medically necessary surgery.

That "vaccine" sure worked a treat. Oh wait, it was never even tested for if it prevents transmission despite the "99% effective" headlines from journos sponsored by Pfizer.

Agree 💯 V4V should be initiated not a default.

Luckily this feature lends itself to being optional, as a user would presumably tap an option to enable the bounty feature manually when posting a note.


Yeah man this should be standard, as you say similar to zapraisers, it encourages V4V by having a free market of plebs offering bounties for providing help to others :)


That is a true honour. Currently reading The Bitcoin Standard again and have recommended it to literally everyone I know.

It does such a good job of explaining the importance of sound money to normies.

What third party (preferably FOSS) YouTube client runs properly on Android TV?

NewPipe teeeechnically runs but the UX is unusable on Android TV.

SkyTube simply doesn't launch.

LibreTube launches but doesn't let me select an instance.

Do any others have even basic Android TV optimisation? So it's usable and I can watch YouTube without two unskippable ads every five minutes and without paying Google money to give them my data. Plz.

You are very welcome


Something that's been on my mind for a bit... a lot of plebs scoff at investing in stocks or anything else that isn't Bitcoin.

This is absolutely fine if you are out of the rat race and financially independent.

However if you are still fiat mining, it is helpful in a practical sense to have fiat world investments.

Personally I consider any Bitcoin I buy as long term, never gonna sell, put a portion into LN for zaps and IRL transactions, most into cold storage. If it's in cold storage it's hodled.

But I also need to hold a portion my wealth in something quick and easy to liquidate without having to worry about AML, CGT, etc. including for major purchases. After all I'd never want to convert BTC to fiat even if I could do it easily.

You can still do this in a Bitcoin centric manner. For example I own stock in MANA, a Bitcoin mining company. It loosely follows BTC as a general rule.

My stocks are in an ISA so all profits are 100% tax free.

Is it sound money? No. Is it still very useful for hedging inflation while remaining relatively liquid in a fiat world? Yes.

Think practically, rather than emotionally, when allocating your capital.

Just my two sats.

I always download YouTube videos (mostly music videos) in 720p and throw em in a bucket so they embed.

Most music videos are only like 15-20MB at 720p with modern compression so not a big bandwidth hit either.


Damn Amethyst doesn't embed audio yet :/

“A law-book never recites the utility, the grounds, the casuistical antecedents of a law: for if it did so it would lose the imperative tone, the “thou shall,” on which obedience is based.”

- Friedrich Nietzsche


True, this is why the US likes proxy wars, but wars offer net benefits to the heads of states in the form of fear, propaganda, divide and conquer among your own people, a pretext for increased state power and surveillance, and ultimately, of course, you come out the other end with the state granting itself much more control.

This is why in 1984 "we've always been at war with Eurasia."

Even from a purely economic perspective, the military industrial complex is in the US. War is good for business.

Btw I 100% agree also that free expression is good for mental health.

And not even just because you don't have to alter how you speak. But because it also means there's no algorithmic echo chambers.

Being exposed to dissenting opinions and debating your beliefs is absolutely essential for mental growth.


Literally 1984 shit. Language corrupts thought.

I've also noticed YouTube shadowbans comments with "Davos" in them. No lie I always check from private browsing and my comment is gone. Only I can see it from my account.


Why don't they just print more Monopoly money? 🤷


It wasn't until Nostr I realised how much self-censorship is subtly enforced on Twitter, Instagram, etc.

Twitter is at least somewhat upfront about it with those annoying "other people won't like this" messages if you dare to type "fuck" in a tweet.

But in a sense that kinda makes it worse. Even here on Nostr I still find myself thinking "if I say that it'll get hidden by the algo" then I remember "oh wait fuck I'm on Nostr I can say whatever the fuck I want and use as many cunting swearwords as I pissing well like, shit!"

For real though I'm still having to "deprogram" this behaviour out of myself after deleting Twitter months ago and not even using it at all months before that. It's almost muscle memory.

I feel bad for people still trapped in these centralised prisons.

Basically because the fundamental system is so corrupt, that's why the real shit is never addressed.

I also think they don't want to let the public know what a house of cards fractional reserve banking is.


The money printing happens through credit creation in the form of commercial bank money as I'm sure you know.

Bankers, policians, and corporations are all close and look out for each other.

Same goes for leaders of central banks. You will never hear them call out their banker pals because most of them came straight from Goldman Sachs themselves.

Mathematician warns #NSA may be weakening next-gen #encryption

https://www.newscientist.com/article/2396510-mathematician-warns-us-spies-may-be-weakening-next-gen-encryption/


Glad I'm not the only one.

Exactly - a lot of CEX's now refuse to accept any coinjoin BTC, which isn't a problem for most plebs but it absolutely affects fungibility and matters for wider adoption.

Hopefully as non-custodial lightning wallets continue to improve, it can more easily become the norm for actually spending BTC as it already is in ES, and if we're all using LN the sats are pretty much fungible since once they've been zapped through a few different wallets it becomes close to impossible to link them back to the original on-chain deposits.


Is Bitcoin truly fungible? This is the only bit I'm not entirely sure about, because all transactions are obviously on a public ledger, so for instance if I had 1 BTC that I withdrew from SR and 1 BTC I bought KYC'd from Coinbase say, I wouldn't call those two coins interchangeable.

If I try to spend the first coin, feds are gonna be watching every movement from that wallet.

If I spend the second, since it's KYC it links my tx's back to me.

There are obviously solutions for this (e.g. tumbling, coinjoin, LN) so it's not necessarily a problem with Bitcoin itself, but it is with on-chain transactions.

Maybe I'm just nitpicking a bit but it's something that's been stuck in the back of my head for a while.


So let me get this straight... all this police state surveillance power can't even keep tabs on a nation state preparing a military strike right next door?

Don't worry though I'm sure they'll find the solution is more surveillance.

Oh yeah I'm not saying stress tests have no merit. They absolutely do.

But in this particular case I expect a foldable to be a delicate device. And the crease is something that started getting worse ever so slightly after about six months on my Samsung, then after another six months it was just fucking horrible.

A lot of that is things like collecting dust over time and wear and tear on the plastic screen protector over the course of normal use. If this is not fixed yet I can't justify the $1.8k price of a foldable. Rather use that money to stack sats.

Look at this shit.

https://image.nostr.build/6078f2ce1235b24ee10214b83f6c6497ef69c06c2cd103625b593e07da5fe552.jpg


I'm not really interested in tests like this where people intentionally try to damage it. I'm more interested in what to expect in normal wear and tear from regular usage.

I expect foldables to be more delicate than normal phones because they're still young technology. But I wanna know if the crease will ruin the inner screen over time. That can only be answered by someone who has lived with the phone for a bit.


In other words, a politician


I am suuuuuper tempted to buy a Pixel Fold (and run GrapheneOS of course) but I'm curious if anyone has owned one for a few months and can weigh in on durability.

I'm currently typing on a Galaxy Z Fold 3 which I bought close to release. It was a great phone until after a year of normal use, a huge noticeable line formed down the middle of the screen protector you can't remove. It's also got a load of dust under it.

Nothing is mechanically broken but this has ruined use of the phone as it became noticeable even with the screen on on very quickly once it started.

From the reviews I'm reading, the Pixel Fold also requires an always applied screen protector, but the design of the folding mechanism is slightly different and ofc a few years newer than my Samsung so is it any better?

All good, just checking because it's a common misconception I've heard a lot over the years.

Should have known you're big brain.


Yep exactly.


If you're talking about Chromium, you should know that standard Chromium builds still have Google's code in them. You'd need to use a specially Degoogled Chromium build. I'm sure multiple such projects exist already. Just saying it's a common misconception that vanilla Chromium isn't "googled."


Firefox is bloated in its own way absolutely. But Brave is a good thing to fork imo because the adblock and anti-tracking features among others are useful, would just be nicer without the shitcoins and ads.


Wow this got way more attention than expected!

Chromium still has the Google tracking built in. Brave removes this plus has ad blockers, sane defaults, Tor integration, BitTorrent integration, and some other extra desirable features.

Did you know: the role commercial bank money plays in the fiat economy is a major reason governments are reliant on income taxes?

When money is produced as cash by the central bank, it is sold to commercial banks at face value, who must then pay the full amount to the treasury. This process is called seigniorage.

In other words, cash provides state funding by charging banks to supply them with currency, meaning the gov can generate revenue without taxing the people.

Don't get me wrong, this is still a poorly incentivised system overall as it encourages moving from sound money to fiat to increase revenue, and the resulting inflation is simply a stealth tax (aka theft) but it's one reason we were able to function just fine without income tax in the past.

It also is still a perfectly fine system so long as it's only used to produce convertible commodity money. But this must be strictly enforced.

“Philosophy teaches a man that he can't take it with him; taxes teach him he can't leave it behind either.” - Mignon McLaughlin


In anonymous discussions, issues of race, gender, social status and other factors, which are generally judged, disappear. What people perceive is a person’s intelligence, humor, eloquence etc. People therefore feel, and are treated, more equal.

ESG will absolutely be heavily used too 1000%.

One spark of hope for all these new ESG bullshit companies getting VC funding is that the market doesn't seem to give a fuck about buying ESG stonks.

UBI is insidious as fuck. Get everyone dependant on the state and dress it up like the government is Robin Hood. Or rather Robbing Hood.


One of the London mayoral candidates proposed a per-mile carbon credit system for driving in the city centre.

Not some whacky Green Party guy either.

I happen to know from the industry that tech companies are already developing individual carbon trackers. They wouldn't do that if there were no customers.

So, sadly, I can see this happening.

The most powerful thing we can do is educate as many people as possible and focus on the risks of CBDCs and why they should be rejected.

Rejection of a CBDC will make implementing and actually enforcing further totalitarian social credit type legislation a lot more difficult.

Yup. Here the government will subsidise EVs too. Interestingly, this was initially open to anyone who bought one. It has since changed so there are tax breaks for leasing an EV as a company car. Lease only. Not purchase.


I need a new nickname to fit ha.

I already bought the domain BitcoinKu.sh 👀


Next big thing is gonna be the upcoming global push to ban people driving older cars without internet connectivity that can't be shut down remotely "for your protection."

It is another way of limiting freedom of assembly, freedom of association, and a new power to add to the social credit system, formal or informal.

Remember: first thing that happens to "undesirables" in China is they are banned from travelling when their social credit drops too low.

Already spreading to the UK (ULEZ) and I want to be clear, although almost all EVs are IoT, so are most new ICE vehicles. Internal combustion doesn't guarantee safety from this. The popular OnStar system in the US can remotely stop your car already for instance. You must ensure zero remote connectivity.

I'm not talking about censorship of people whose views are expressed in magazines or TV. It's all garbage anyway, and they're an insignificant percentage of the population. I'm talking about their ability to censor YOU! YOU dude!


They're sound as 2FA but I think for replacing passwords it's just replacing one problem with another.

Explained further below:

But the private keys are held in the same piece of hardware not unlike a Yubikey right?

So much like a physical key, if you can grab the device, you have the universal password.

PINs provide some protection in this scenario but only if they're secure. Someone using an insecure password is likely to put their birthday, or something else equally easy to guess, as their PIN.

Biometrics fixes the above but creates a whole new rabbit hole of privacy violation for obvious reasons.

2030: DNA required for verification

Mark my words, this won't end well...

Just reusing the same key instead?

Replacing one single point with another really.


Maybe I just have my tinfoil hat on, but I foresee some dark consequences to people becoming acclimated to handing over DNA as a password for everything.

People don't appreciate the difference between a million & billion...

1M seconds is about a week and a half.
1B seconds is 32 years long.

I could give you $5000/day and you'll be a millionaire in 6mo.
I could give you $5000/day and you'd be a billionaire in 547 years.

Freedom is a state of mind, not a material or financial condition. You know nothing of my consciousness, nor could you. Look into your own self and ask if you are free.

Remove the West from the East


The USA calling out other countries for bombing people is like the school bully protesting against wedgies


Really interesting to watch Al Jazeera to see the views the Western MSM ignores. Good to do this regardless of your personal views. Understand both sides.


My gf has made me way happier than any amount of money or material wealth ever has over the past ten years and she makes everything worth it.

Mofos dropping £20k on a Prius when a Mustang is £12k lol people are boring


What's annoying is the old ones of these were easy to hack to bypass this nanny filter, but the Android ones have to be rooted first which no one has managed to do yet.

I would get an AI to find a root exploit if I knew how to do that and the cost wouldn't bankrupt me 😂
