Israel’s Minister of Finance Bezalel Smotrich: "We conquer, cleanse, and stay... On the way, we annihilate everything that still remains.….We're breaking Gaza apart, leaving it as a pile of rubble, total unprecedented destruction." https://xcancel.com/SuppressedNws/status/1957277313403343077

Scarce names aren't mutually exclusive with public keys... We should use both like we use domains and IPs .. but Pkarr is better than IPs. View quoted note →

I just realized that the USA enjoyed an absolute hegemony (as defined by lack of any challenges or challengers) for as long as I lived, since the USSR collapsed until China started beating them at global trade and industrial capacity and couldn't be ordered to stop, as many vassals before China were.

Payments processors setting the rules for all downstream platforms, and Bitcoin is no where to help... shameful timeline.

I want a VPS humble bundle... multiple providers in multiple jurisdictions all for the same invoicing overhead. Who is building that? I would pay way more if they also make it feel like one VPS (replication, redundancy, and one of them acts as the proxy for others... someone please be a hero.

My least favorite thing about @Keychat on Android is that the native back button doesn't do anything in the embedded browser... makes most web apps too frustrating to use.
