"Encryption is a tool for thought. Most people say, 'I trust Google. Google's really big, almost too big to fail, and they've got some of the best engineers in the world. I'm not worried necessarily that my data will leak.' But what you should be worried about is the effect on quality that non-encrypted platforms have on your thinking. ... You'll find that the way you talk on Discord is probably different from the way you talk on Signal. On Discord, even if you're privately DMing with someone, you always have that thought or fear in the back of your mind that what you say here can be, theoretically, resurfaced by someone who's not really authorized to see this message. And that changes how you talk, it changes how you think. Whereas on Signal, because it has really hardcore privacy and security and you can auto-delete messages, you find that you're able to be your true self. And you're much more creative, much more witty, much more thoughtful.. The software you use dictates your culture. Your mind's culture. ... This is an aspect of privacy that most people don't really consider. You definitely give up a piece of yourself when you don't use encrypted and private platforms." —Mo, creator of Standard Notes https://watchmanprivacy.com/2023/03/15/standard-notes-model-privacy-software/

a bitcoin conference that only has an open source stage and a portion of the proceeds gets donated to OpenSats i'd pay more to attend something like that

if your bitcoin node on umbrel ever gets hung up in a "Starting" state forever and doesn't load, here's the fix: 1. ssh into your node (via Terminal on Mac or Command Prompt on Windows) by entering this command: ssh umbrel@umbrel.local then enter your password. 2. then remove two files, which were probably corrupted by a bad shutdown, one by one. to remove the first file enter this command: sudo rm ./umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin/settings.json And to remove the second file enter this command: sudo rm ./umbrel/app-data/bitcoin/data/bitcoin/peers.dat 3. then reboot your umbrel by entering this command: sudo reboot // all your apps will have to reload so give it 10-15 minutes, but if you go back into your umbrel dashboard and click your bitcoin node it should be syncing again.

chronic extroverts are a bigger red flag than chronic introverts extroverts can't bear to spend time *with themselves* while they insist everyone else spend time with them instead for some reason at least introverts appreciate their own company

i wonder if ledger will be able to recover from this or if most people don't actually care because they're just used to being lied to and stolen from their whole lives

friendly reminder that eating meat is not bad for you (quite the opposite). it's just that some people feel bad eating it. it's an emotional decision trying to disguise itself as a nutritional one

got a test run of these made. orange isn't quite right though. anyone know what the fix might be re: color accuracy? i'm guessing it's a rgb vs. cmyk thing related to the file type i provided. i'm a sticker noob
