today I deleted hundreds of telegram groups i was subscribed to.
afterwards it felt i lost about 30 pounds of mental weight.
it turns out i don't need to be tuned into the latest wars, geopolitics news, food shortages, surveillance bills, or whatever bullshit in real time.
first and foremost i am taking back control of my mind, i suggest you do the same.

🐔 Mass Non-Compliance Works.
Mexico tried to force Digital ID & Biometrics on 82 million people -- and they failed.
June 30th was the deadline for people to register with the 'CURP', Mexico's biometric registration system. As of the deadline, 82 million lines are still not registered. This band of holdouts is preventing Mexico from becoming a total technocratic state.
Let's take a lesson from them. Never comply with Digital ID.
¡Viva la Independencia!

@durov — why on earth does Telegram not use HTTPS? this paper verified that unique device identifiers are sent completely naked over the internet, which would enable internet service providers and agencies to track users. you critique WhatsApp’s privacy -- but this appears to be a failure of yours. do you want people to switch away from Telegram?
fix this.

Scaling pressure? There are literally around 10-20K active users on Nostr. No one has scaling pressure. If we all put aside our differences and work together maybe there would be.
Nostr needs more privacy.

This is not a trust me bro issue, ive been using Bitcoin since 2012 and have been going deep on privacy for 5 years. Ive studied exactly how chain analysis attacks much more private coins like Monero.
Theres a serious attack on privacy and we need solutions that are private by default.
Both LN and Fedi are weak to a global passive adversary like Chain analysis who is already proven to conduct large scale block chain surveillance.
Fedi servers IPs and public, super easy to correlate who is using them, Cashu is a little better but still suffers from:
- bad anonyminity sets on large amts
- many use custodial wallets on Nostr
- timing and amount fingerprinting is not that difficult
- invoices and spent secrets can be subpoenad
Additionally practice many use custodial wallets on Nostr, I actually just realized Primal is custodial and I'm going to switch.
There are so many holes its not even close to being private. We need solutions that are private by default.

Is there a Nostr deeplink?
So ppl can one tap the npub and have it open up on other clients.

🙏 Kenya's New Data Center Will Require Shutting Half the Country Down
Announced in 2024, Microsoft is planning to build a 1 GW data center in Kenya.
“We would need to switch off half the country for the data center to be powered,” President Ruto said.
Once again, governments and big tech companies are trying to create power out of thin air, putting everyone else at risk.

i finally just finished writing a 23,000 word report on AI data centers. 🫠 the second longest piece i've written thus far.
it covers everything from who's behind the push, damage to our environment, our health, how to make reasonably accurate estimates for usage, how our actual water systems work, who owns the water, and my theories for why the hell any of this is happening.
and no I didn't use AI to generate any text.
now moving into final editing, but i'm proud of myself for sticking through it. i hope its comprehensive enough to be a resource for years to come.
you're going to help me share it everywhere right?
it'll be updated at https://aidatacentermap.org when its done. stay tuned. <3

⚡️God Save the Digital ID (U.K)
Despite massive backlast to the U.K Digital ID program, the King and current administation are marching forwards. Instead of ‘Digital ID’ required to work by 2029, they’ve given everyone a break… now its just ‘Digital Verification’ required for everyone to work by 2029. So there’s no getting out of biometric capture.
A panel of 100 Britains will be chosen for a ‘People’s Panel’, the U.K government is interested in how they can get Britains to ‘love’ Digital ID as much they do.
Good luck with that.

Hi there thanks for the welcome and your interest.
Unfortunately open source BIOS not supported on our laptops. We do some bios hardening and full disk encryption, and the majority of our privacy and hardening is at the OS level.
One day soon we'll do OSS firmware, but right now its not as big of a threat than the OS layer. I'll probably make another post about this topic soon .
We will not comply with age verification or pass that on to customers full stop. We are currently working on a systemdless version of our OS for the laptops.
We use no third parties across our infrastructure when dealing with customer info, its all self-hosted. You can always request to delete all your personal info, leaving an email so we know to support you.

Anytime I feel stressed about the future, I remember these words by Alan Watts.
The future is not simply happening at you, it is arising with you.
Life offers participation before certainty. It says come, then I will show you.
Trust ... And then you will see.

⚡️ Return of the Luddites
I'm sensing a shift towards open resistance against harmful technologies like data centers and surveillance cameras, and I'm not the only one.
But to understand where its going we must look to the past. James Corbett breaks down the Luddite movement in its historical context, looking at sabotage and assassinations, and its representation in fiction like in the Dune series.
I'm honored to join James for the last half of this episode to discuss the AI Data Center Map & solutions.

hi, i'm Hakeem. Using Bitcoin since 2012. Lost most of it playing Texas Hold-Em. 🃏
I'm not a Bitcoin maxi, but a privacy & freedom maxi. I run a conscious technology company (https://abovephone.com) and have a show covering tech news. (https://tbot.substack.com)
We are experiencing the biggest shift in consciousness ever seen before. Those clinging to old systems or old ways will be pinned under the rubble. Those willing to challenge themselves, their beliefs, and adapt will pave a new path forward for humanity.
Each of us has our own special, sacred mission to fulfill. Mine is to help people reclaim their technology. What's yours?
P.S - I'd like to see more solutions for private payments on Nostr. What have you got for me?

Hey peeps! thanks @nprofile…3glj for encouraging me to join and @nprofile…5hu5 for making an excellent client. It really was seamless to start.
It feels so alien to have a social network where people are supportive and I can trust the messages aren't disappearing into the void.
It's blowing my mind a little bit.
Lets create!
