Unintentionally my ass. They knew exactly what they were doing and planned to get away with it until someone noticed. According to the paper they stopped doing it....for now. I suspect the pixels are back within 3 months.

"Tracking pixels are small lines of code embedded in images on a site’s interface. They allow companies to see users’ behavior and collect valuable information for advertising efforts.... What [Professor David] Choffnes and his colleagues uncovered was that these pixels were inadvertently collecting data from private application web forms and then sending that data directly to Meta and TikTok."

 Literally at the store, some guy is waiting for his wife/friend/partner/whatever to try on clothes. He's talking to his bank to make a payment on speakerphone.

Best summation of the "pro-life" movement. And however great your intentions are a a pro-life voter, know that the people behind the political side of the movement are only using it to get power. They don't care about you or your children, and most would get an abortion in a heartbeat if having a child would even mildly inconvenience them.

The “unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you.

They are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor.

They don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct.

Unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy.

Unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare.

Unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike.

They allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships, and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn.

You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without reimagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone.

They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe.

Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.

- Pastor David Barnhart

Have you read Jessica Valenti?


Perhaps you misunderstood my point. Patriarchy is a lie. It always has been. Perpetrated by both genders to keep power over others.

This is a great book that exposes the lie, based on facts and history.

Whatever small people are afraid of women clearly have not lived in an actually equal society. Norway and Sweden are the closest I've seen to equality. It was glorious.

I have a dumb #nostr question, I keep a self-custody #bitcoin wallet on my phone. I keep about €50-100 in it at anytime. Mostly to replace carrying #cash in an actual #wallet.

How can I use this local wallet in #primal or #amethyst for zaps?

I'm not concerned with the speed or fees of non-lightning at this point. If someone gets their zaps days later, they still got them. I'll pay whatever fees there are for a 0.00000001 bitcoin transaction.

Can I use #monero wallet for zaps?

I don't want to use third party wallets, mostly because the terms are horrible.

Tacos, oh tacos, so fine and so sweet
A culinary delight that can't be beat
A crunchy shell, a savory treat
Filled with meat, cheese, and a dash of heat

Your salsa's got a spicy little zing
Makes me wanna sing, makes me wanna swing
My hips, that is, to the taco beat
Got a cravin' for that taco treat

I'll take a carne asada, with a side of flair
Add some guac, and a sprinkle of care
A sprinkle of cheese, a dash of fun
My taco's got a party, everyone!

I'll eat you in the morning, I'll eat you at night
I'll never get tired, of your tasty delight
You're my dirty little secret, my guilty pleasure too
Oh tacos, oh tacos, I'm hooked on you!

So if you see me, with a taco in hand
Don't be surprised, when I take a stand
I'll be the taco king, with a shell in my crown
Ruling the land, with a taco renown!

#telegram #privacy


If it was e2ee, telegram would have nothing to worry about. It is not and telegram servers store all the data from channels. They could moderate the content but choose not to do so. Telegram can see everything by default. Actually enabling EE2E by default would make things better for Telegram.

This fact is the core of the French govt's complaint. If Facebook or Google didn't moderate anything, they'd be hunted down too.

The logic of saying telegram is encrypted is like saying google is encrypted because of the TLS connection to their servers. Google can obviously see all your content in their cloud, even though the connectionibetween you and them is wrapped in encryption.

Telegram should take responsibility and pay for bad decisions.  Who knows why they didn't enforce E2EE by default.


If only telegram was actually encrypted, then this statement might be true.

# Google's unfair control over Android and how it would be used to force you into State surveillance by killing off competitors/alternatives

So, in short, #Google is using their "safety features" like #SafetyNet and so on to reject #MFA on third party apps like #Authy from working on custom ROMs like #GrapheneOS
I always feared that this shift towards #Biometrics and other #Passwordless logins will be a trojan to force anti-privacy methods of authentication on everyone.
A lot of #banks already force customers to use proprietary methods of 2FA when #TOTP and #HOTP work just fine.
Some schools and organisations force students and members to use proprietary Push-Based 2FA like Duo or a proprietary Microsoft Authentication (a lot of companies run their enterprise emails using Microsoft) that is only available on the Microsoft Authenticator app.

In the long run, the scarier possibility is that Google might just lock down Android completely and remove features like Side-loading or OEM-unlocking, thus, killing off custom ROMs. They already locked out content blocking with #extensions on #Chromium browsers and stopped extension developers from making .crx files available making Google's extension store the only practical place to get extensions (and maybe a few censorious alternatives like Microsoft Store for Edge users)

I don't understand what increases with usage? CPU? Memory? Disk space? At the scale of nostr, it all seems pretty easy to handle.

And why have relay operators left? Solely due to hosting costs? Admin time overhead?

Are there any real surveys on the reasons relay operators exit nostr?

I run relays/servers for various networks and average around 500 Mbps on the connection. I have unlimited 1Gbps xfer for the cost of the rack.

What would it take run a really busy nostr relay? What is a really busy nostr relay in terms of hardware and bandwidth utilization?


Why have relay operators left? I run 2 open relays and the cost is roughly zero.

I do not install anything without reading the source first. I do not want any third parry add ins to my wallet (like sentry, google firebase, etc).  As far as I can find, the answer is no. Please educate me on how to do this.

Here's my mini-rant:

Customer data needs to be as toxic as nuclear waste in the USA. To the point where holding any cusomter data requires licenses, approvals, and massive fines per record stored; say $1 million per record as a floor.  Any data breach should drive a company bankrupt and out of business.

Non-regulated companies don't need all this personal data.  Regulated companies need similar massive fines and revocation of their license to operate until the audit/breach investigation is complete. Yes, this could be as long as a year.

The goal is to force actual, functional privacy enhancing technologies to protect customers as the default. Apply private, verifiable voting techniques to customer data.

And for further radical statements, abolish KYC/AML laws and regulations.  These laws are about control, not stopping crime.

Does increasing the post size allow users to post images through my server? Aka NIP-95 support


I would be concerned about centralized push notifications. This seems completely opposite to the goal of a decentralized network and protocol.

Taxes and inflation favor the lump sum.

This is marketing. If you dig into that story, Apple's refusal was a process refusal. If the FBI gave Apple the iCloud account and followed Apple's process of law enforcement, Apple would hand over the entire contents of the account on a silver platter. Apple has all of your data and will hand it over in a heartbeat.

They also hand your data to advertising partners of theirs with abandon. You cannot opt out of Apple advertising per their terms of service.


Also ignore the idiots who say women cannot do it. Read up on Danica Patrick and Sabine Schmitz, too. They are amazing. Fuck the haters.


As a former formula car racer, start with performance driving school and then SCCA schools and events.

Autocross is a great and affordable way to get into racing.  You will learn car control and how survive nomex suits in 35°C weather. :)


FinCEN already knows exactly every transaction you do through the fiat system.  IRS can easily figure out what is taxable or not and send you a summary asking you to agree or not.

Keep track of everything and maybe talk to a lawyer about civil court to stop the harassment. Bonus if he was dumb enough to put everything in written form (email, text, etc)

Monero is so effective at this it's considered highly suspect and toxic, like nuclear materials, that even possession is almost criminal.

Hi. Appimage lume 3.0.1 is segfaulting on archlinux.  gdb implies a crash in something libc.6.so as included in the image (because its reference is a squash mounted lib) anything I should look for in the bt?

Or should I focus on getting 4.x branch working in Linux and freebsd?


Actual next steps are:
 - to read and better understand the source;
 - to figure out how to post from #lume without an error: and
 - to get 4.x compiling from source in sourcehut's ci system so the artifacts are a zst for #archlinux and pkg for #freebsd.

When bitcoin survives 2,000 years and the rise and fall of many empires, then ill be a convert. The gold is still worth something, even if the empire depicted on this 1,700 year old coin fell within 100 years of it being minted.

Where's my thousands of euros in egold and digicash today?

My bitcoins may be worth lots of fiat now, but one law or prosecution will wipe it out in a heartbeat. I only wish success in bitcoin.

Think very long term. Think of seven generations from now and what store of wealth will survive this timespan. Traditionally, it's been jewelry, gold, and land. Ultimately the generational wealth is the knowledge of how to invest and grow businesses to generate more wealth.

Every empire falls, plan for it. Figure out how to profit from it.

A fully open source mobile device from the hardware to the firmware through the OS. The OS could be Linux or BSD-based and able to run fully in touchscreen mode.  Perhaps even automatic adaptation of applications from desktop paradigm to mobile/touchscreen.

The entire point of open hardware is to spawn a million clones and a new industry. I want to spawn truly ambient computing where the user is in control.

And this is to break out of the current,  horrible duopoly of control.

Full disclosure, I ran an alternic root server for a year.


Just require or build in an alternic set of root zones and live freely. .nostr could be a thing for all with existing systems.


How do you find your server then?  Nostr seems to require websockets which requires DNS. My client won't connect to my server over IP only.

Today this looks like a really expansive transaction. It was 192.02 USD at the time.

Gold has returned 8.63% from 2016-01-01 until 2024-02-19. Adjusted for inflation (CPI), that's 5.19%. Still better than bonds.

There is no "review board". If the code doesn't compile using only free software, it is rejected. F-droid is about pure open source.

Way too many random apks from the internet are loaded with 3rd party tracking, at the least.

Anyone can setup their own f-droid repo and serve up their own apks.  Izzydroid, divested, guardian project, calyx, cromite, etc have all done this.

Obtanium is basically a fancy curl interface. It doesn't verify anything and so long as the binary blob downloads, you can install it. Its no different than a user browsing and downloading binaries off the internet.

F-droid needs lots of work, and it's a constant work in progress, but I feel it's vastly better than the alternatives right now.


Do you have a source for this?  Fennec is mobile Firefox and is in f-droid repo.


And ecologically sound. The industrial revolution was a mistake.

I got an ad for https:/nos.social. An iOS only client which appears to require KYC via Apple ID of some sort.

This is true for every VC funded topic. They need the hype to make money so the early investors can cash out and make a return for their LPs. The rest of the sheep then invest and keep the cycle going.


Yes


KYX/AML is about control, not fraud. https://www.effectiveaml.org/the-biggest-problem-with-aml/  this guy wrote an amazing paper about how ineffective KYC/AML is around the world. Now he's turned it into a business.

Lot's of places require KYC for prepaid, because otherwise "terrorists" win or something. Genuflect to the USA Patriotic Act first please.


What they want is a "post-paid" number because it is tied to national identity number (SSN/SIN). At the same time, the telcos lose all your account info every few years. And by doing so, your precious "never share" identity info is meaningless because everyone has it.  There needs to be real enforcement and penalties for losing your info that you can't change. Like very punitive to the point the companies no longer want your data.

Since this will never happen, I am down the path of just not sharing data. I don't do business with companies that demand this info for service. Prepaid should be the default, I'll decide to extend credit for a month or not. At worst, the company goes bankrupt and I lose a month's money sent to the company.

Post-paid and anti-fraud is a scam. I worked in this industry and it's all snake oil. No matter how much companies spend on this crap, their fraud rates don't change. KYC is a failed joke. KYC is about control, not stopping fraud or crime.
