Loss of Narrative Control: How State Power Struggles Against Free Speech —Thomas Kolbe The state is losing control over the dominant narratives in the competition of prevailing stories. Its apparatus of power responds predictably invasively and reveals its hostility toward dissenting opinions.

Hey Nostr DEVS ! Are you ready to integrate the new EU Age Verification into the Nostr clients ? EU: "The EU Commission is facilitating a temporary age verification solution until the EU Digital Identity Wallet is available by the end of 2026. The design and development of this solution is supported by a contract awarded to T-Scy (Scytales and T-Systems), which will provide a white-label app in summer 2025. This app will be customisable to allow for translation into national language(s) among other things." 🤡🤡

Bitcoin is a DISCOVERY, I posted this opinion of me on Reddit, 8 years ago: “You see, Satoshi Nakamoto did not ‘invent’ the solutions to the distributed consensus problem. No, he *discovered* it. Distributed consensus is a math problem (aka Byzantine Generals' Problem) , and Satoshi found a solution and very likely the only solution. Pythagoras discovered the a2+b2=c2 properties of a rectangular triangle, and the properties are perpetual, independent of the discovery of those by Pythogoras. … I do not want to do Satoshi short, but I think it is the same with the Nakamoto Consensus, the Bitcoin way consensus is reached in a distributed open (anyone can connect, without permission) network of nodes. …. The stroke of genius was to link 3 things in 1 proces: the validation of transactions, the reward by coinage of new coins in a lottery-like scheme and the costs of participating (solving an energy consuming puzzle), making attacks too expensive to undertake fraudulent activities. …. It takes the stroke of genius to discover something fundamental at true academic level. Smart ass geeks can develop new technology but Bitcoin is not about technology, it is about a fundamental solution to a long standing math problem. … The search for a useful 'blockchain technology' will go on and will prove to be in vain. Meanwhile Bitcoin, which offers value transfer on the protocol level on the Internet, will march on and grow and grow” https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/s/EPAlVYEEy1

Adobe Retreats from Bluesky After Massive User Backlash Adobe has deleted all its posts on Twitter-alternative Bluesky after a disastrous April 8 debut that drew over 1,600 angry comments from digital creators.
