Cock-Li Emails were Hacked Google Manipulates society What if I told you many of the problems with Cockli, Google, Nostr, SimpleX, and the whole internet were the result of the "free mentality"?

There's a key lesson here: Dave Smith and Doug Stanhope both were libertarian comedians. The difference is Smith stuck to his views, while Stanhope switched to support Obama Although I think Doug Stanhope is far better at crafting though-provoking punchlines that are more related to the heart of libertarian philosophy, While Dave Smith's actual standup routines are barely related to the core political positions in an academic sense. And on Smith's podcast, the majority of the time, it's just going over the news without punchlines. In the end, sticking to principles won out, when you compare their fanbases, societal relevance, and financial success. The lesson is: Being an epic genius doesn't mean you'll be a legend, without integrity.

Tech Signal Group hit 300 members! Huge thank you to everyone who participated with content, links, answering questions, and hanging out. I am so proud of the people who participated and then made the journey to Linux, degoogled phones, or other open source tools. We use Signal because the forced phone number cost prevents spam attacks. You can use a cheap VoIP verification, and for a public group that anyone can join on Linux/tech, it's not that big a deal if you hide your number. While it is not ideal, it strikes a balance of being less invasive than Telegram/Discord, but less spam than Session/SimpleX. Feel free to join and ask tech questions,

Proton: "We have been awarded €2 million from the EU to further develop the Proton ecosystem" I can’t believe there are people actually defending them still getting yet MORE government money, while literally scrolling past our team’s volunteer work, to post memes about decentralization.

Don't just Degoogle, Zero Google. As Google shifts to put AI and "Find my device" in the hardware itself, who knows if this corrupt and evil company secretly has backdoors in Pixels. We just don't know. Introducing the first of our "Zero Google" non-Pixel Phones, LineageOS OnePlus 9 Carrier Unlocked No Battery Cycles, Brand New Mint condition, Black 3 Month Warranty from us Secured by a binding arbitration XMRBazaar deposit Optional 6-month VPN subscription as well. $320 in Bitcoin or Monero. In theory, the "find my device" needs a google account to be activated. And if you trust that, then we offer Pixels with GrapheneOS. But if you don't, and you want to completely separate your ties from Google, then this is an easy, low-cost way, to keep your name off the IMEI for geolocation tracking from celltowers, save time with Lineage's setup, and get an amazing price for a mint condition brand new device. Reach out either way for Graphene or Lineage. It's not for me to decide, it's your device:
