"This Perfect Day" by IRA Levin
It's a fascinating story about a 24/7 sedated society... and a few individuals trying to break out.

Apparently it will introduce kyc-duties for wallet developers, allow confiscation of BTC on exchanges without final judgement, etc.

First, there will be a phase where btc is told to be a failed experiment. When the last packets sold their stash, the price will rise. I don't expect this to happen within the next 5 years.

As a believer in Bitcoin, you have to be stoic. But this isn't exactly sexy in a world where people are dopamine junkies waiting for the next 'like'-hit.

Anonymous accounts have no reach initially, so you need to build up a reputation first. Ideally you never hit servers with your real IP during that time.

I tried reinstalling Amethyst, but the unwanted topic still shows up in the 'follow' timeline. I don't see the topic as a dedicated option in the dropdown for the individual topics I follow.
For some reason the generic 'follow' timeline still shows notes from topics I unsubscribed from

Anyone else has the issue with #amethyst, that after unfollowing a # topic you still get results in your timeline?
Is there a way to reset those settings? The topic no longer shows up in my follow list, but I cannot ged rid of the results.

Today I successfully installed my banking apps in #grapheneos. All it took was to create a secondary profile with extended rights for the Google Play Store and Play Services. After setting up the banking apps, I could withdraw these extended rides without any issues.
All in all, I lost nothing but gained so much by switching to #grapheneos. I highly recommend it to anybody tinkering with the idea.

Das schlimme an der Demokratie ist, das die Mehrheit der Wähler finanziell am Tropf einiger weniger hängt (wg. Umlageverfahren). Dadurch wird man in so einer "sozialen" Demokratie niemals zur Eigenverantwortung übergehen.

Your documentation won't help you in a conversation. What usually helps is when you devote to a topic. Learn to like what's you're doing, look at yourself from a distance. Be surprised and astonished of yourself what you can learn and create...
Once you're proud of yourself and think big of your endeavors, you'll be way better to sell yourself.

I'm 100% with you. One aspect we should be very cautious about is the introduction of AI on the educational sector. Companies like Microsoft and Apple already have their for in the door of institution and I think they'd sneak in their digital assistant very subtly.

Hi #nostriches,
is anyone running #calyxos on a Pixel 6a?
After learning that the UK government is putting lot of pressure on Apple, I'm sure Google is in a similar situation.
I might be ready for a free OS on my phone. I'd love to learn from you how smooth the transition is and what sacrifice to expect.
