My daughter took me to a tree stump where she insisted her slug friend named rock n roll would be hanging out. Sure enough, rock n roll was there. #sluglife

Never tested my graphene back up yet but I think it restores almost everything. Could get another refurbished pixel on Back market on the cheap to test the back up first.

Nice! Curious if they are teaching self hosted/private solutions or are they having you get on the major platorms? Not trying to be a weasel but I am concerned about the use of AI when these major players can harvest all our data. They certainly have a lot of benefit though and not adopting at all has it's costs also.

Hey Sam, great message. I wish I had this knowledge leaving high school. The last 5-6 years of my life have basically been devoted to unlearning all the nonsense I was led to believe.
I don't believe its too late to turn things around if we've been stuck in the system like I have and want to live a more sovereign life where we control our data, our health, and our money. My mission is to turn things around now so my young kids will benefit from my shift and choose this better path instead of succumbing to the surveillance capilism state and all the debt traps.
With the digital tools you mentioned and so many more including the infinite ability for self learning on the internet I think we can turn this ship around and create a damn good future for the ourselves and the younger generations.
Also, @nprofile…dz72 is the man.

I would argure that if a person undertands mind control then it's the fault of the individual, if they don't understand mind control it's the fault of the poison producers and enablers who use mind control to trick the subconscious to poison themselves.

2026-05-19 21:43:48 CEST

I'm starting to think digital sovereignty and privacy isn’t just our right, but a fundamental part of our physical and mental health in the modern world.
Unless we choose open‑source, privacy‑first, human‑centered tech, the benefits from modern tech platforms will come with a serious cost: our nervous system stays stuck in low‑grade stress and anxiety, which has real physical and mental impacts.
I’ve felt this directly. I dealt with chronic back pain for years, until I realized stress and fear were contributing to it, and I believe my digital life was a larger factor than I'd understood.
Shoshana Zuboff calls this the "compulsion loop": platforms deliberately provoke anxiety to drive engagement, which yields more data, tightening the loop.
The beautiful thing is that all the tools to opt out exist now so we can still reap the benefits of tech without the costs. (yay NOSTR for solving social media)
It’s not easy, though. I’ve spent my free time over the last year learning alternatives. It’s made a real difference in how I feel but there’s still more to learn. Once I make one switch I see 10 more things to improve upon.
This has become my primary focus: learning tools for digital vitality and I plan to help others do the same. I don't want our kids to be more nodes in the surveillance capitalism state.

Looking back a few weeks out and I can already say this was a pivotal experience in my life. There is something special about this place, the people it attracts, and the force of permissionless money bounded by energy that brings it all together for me. It opened my eyes and allowed me to reconnect with the vision of the future I longed for. I hope to be back in the jungle again.

Today I reached a breaking point.
I'm tired of not being myself, of never feeling like I can get ahead, of being a pawn in the system. My friendships have crumbled, my family wonders what's wrong with me, my stress and irritation are overwhelming.
I told my boss I can't do it anymore. I'm done.
I thought I could continue while I work on building a business but I can't.
The system broke me and I didn't see it coming.
I don't know what comes next but I know what inspires me and what makes me feel alive. It's being in nature, playing, and finding the people building sovereign technology. It's the people taking risks, relentlessy challenging the status quo and building systems that benefit humanity.
I've lived too long hiding in my own shadow and today it showed its face.

2026-04-21 00:33:27 CEST

Feeling trapped in work I don't love.
Dreaming of a different kind of life.
Fascinated by technology, craving nature.
Aware enough to know something is wrong.
Not sure how to build the bridge.
I'm realizing my visionary self has an expiration date most days.
Retreating to the jungle for a week and feeling clear and optimistic felt great. The reality on the ground back home is much different. The contrast is sharp. The bridge out is not.
One hard conversation. One look at the bank account. One moment of "how am I going to pull this off" — and the version of me who can see a better future just logs off.
What's left is a guy just getting through the day.
I'll keep building anyway. Even if it feels like I'm starting over again and again.

Opt of of the centralized services and systems that treat people as products. All the tools and technology that give digital (and physical) privacy back to people exist and are continually evolving. For example, we can switch to @`GrapheneOS` on mobile, Linux on our laptops, use a personal home server, use encryption and practice good digital hygiene.
Reclaiming our data, time, money, and our sovereignty doesn't happen overnight. It is on ongoing and evolving learning process and by the way, is way more fun and exciting than one might expect. Thanks for asking.

I love technology, computers, AI etc. but I also love nature, playing, connection, and clear thinking. You know, being a human. Up until recently modern technology and online services felt like energy sucks, attention traps, and involuntary control mechanisms. I felt like this digital world left behind the humanness of being alive.
Now I feel that with the tools provided to us by the cypherpunks and open-source wizards we have an opportunity to reclaim our humanity and reconnect with nature like never before in the modern world.
We can can have the benefits of technology while staying grounded in our human nature. It is still a choice we have to make and I hope more people will choose the better path.
