Scarry story from Eric Wall via X: "there's now officially a situation in sweden this monday, a middle-aged swedish couple was tied up in their home and robbed by 4 masked men. they were physically abused and threatened with their own kitchen knives. they were tied up for hours and one had to be escorted to the hospital via helicopter. the purpose of the assault was to steal the couple's bitcoin unfortunately, this is not a new occurence in sweden now. only last month, two well-known bitcoin/crypto profiles were targeted in their homes by masked, armed men one of them had no physical bitcoin, but was physically abused for 3 hours. the other got away because only their spouse was home at the time. the first time this happened was last year, one of sweden's most well-known bitcoiners had criminals break into their apartment even though that person gave up a significant amount of bitcoin/crypto, they were physically beaten and abused for hours infront of their partner. that person was scarred for months and largely withdrew from public life after the assault what appears to be common for each of these cases is that the victims had livestreamed a podcast about bitcoin/crypto days before their assault, or mentioned bitcoin in a public context this situation is occurring because in sweden, you can easily search for any person's residential address and drive straight to their house. if you're curious, you can also search for their tax records, and find out exactly how much they paid in income or capital gains tax, and size them up from that sweden is probably one of the least safe countries to be active in the cryptocurrency sector in at the moment. i've personally left sweden and i don't expect to return until the laws around personal privacy change. "The Principle of Public Access to Information", known in swedish as "Offentlighetsprincipen" (the law that makes residential addresses and tax records public) is the main culprit behind this strangeness relative to other countries. while the intentions behind this legislation was to reduce corruption, it is not fit for modern society."

Most sustainable OS out there :-)

GM everyone

Wow my GrapheneOS got automatically updated over night to Android14! It is just amazing how well everything is working since I migrated to GrapheneOS one year ago. I was using LineageOS for years. But GrapheneOS plays just in a different league! #GrapheneOS #PrivacyMatters

"Politicians and diapers must be changed often, and for the same reason" Mark Twain

"#Nigerien reactions to #Macron’s announcement that French troops would be withdrawn from #Niger. France's decision to finally bow to weeks of pressure from military leaders and popular demonstrations is widely seen as a capitulation as Macron had earlier said that only ousted President Mohamed Bazoum could order them out. Many Nigeriens say the 'coup' was a rebellion against French neocolonialism. Niger is part of the 14 West African countries that form a "Franc Zone": countries that have achieved political independence but are still economically enslaved thanks to a colonial pact that not only determines how these countries spend their own money, but also ensures that France remains the main beneficiary of these countries’ natural resources."
