Bitcoin may be dipping, but the plebs are buying. Bisq has a good few buy offers at 1-2% above market value. If you need to sell I doubt you will find a better price anywhere else.

"The financial incentives to create addictive digital content would instantly disappear, and so would the mechanisms that allow both commercial and political actors to create personalized, reality-distorting bubbles" This one sentence describes a false premise and shows why it is false. The financial incentives will not disappear, they will just get limited to people willing to pay for the creation of 'personal, reality-distorting bubbles'. There is plenty of people with money who will pay to manipulate the plebs. If we take this further and say that PR is advertising, then effectively we will be banning the publishing of information which can alter people's opinions in a positive or negative way on any topic. So... banning advertising is banning speech ๐Ÿคฏ I must be wrong, show me how ๐Ÿ˜… View quoted note โ†’

Yes, except it is not about left vs right. The people in power are no longer limiting themselves to jailing significant people who are not in the public eye, like Assange and Reiner Fuellmich. They now feel in position to jail anyone. If you are justifying this with 'they must have done something to end up in jail', you are part of the problem. What they have done is threaten the establishment. View quoted note โ†’

"Nostr slowly grows because weirdos find it by rummaging through the bins down the pissy "decentralised web" alleyway." Meh, weirdo is fair enough, but "pissy decentralised web alleyway"? It is more like a hidden sanctuary somewhere off the beaten path, where you can breathe easy and be free ;p View quoted note โ†’

So much interesting stuff happening in that video, and the one bit that made me stop watching it is some IT guy wearing a mask like during the scamdemic. If it wasn't disrespectful to ppl with actual PTSD, I'd say I have that with masks... they are such a trigger. The absolute symbol of ignorant fear and sheepish compliance which can drive our world into a dystopian future. View quoted note โ†’
