Bitcoin at 100k$. Quite nice, isn't it? Let's have a nice cup of tea to celebrate this.

The USofA is sooo fucked up, with a fossilized constitution anchored in the 18th century, a flawed and biased indirect presidential election system, a monarchy-like supreme court for life. There was a short period of time that it was fairly democratic from 1965 when the voting rights law was enacted, until 2001 and the "Patriot Act". Now it is turning into a fascist oligarchic theocracy ruled by a **christianist** minority.

A great essay by Ploum illustrating the developpin divide or chasm between a corporate internet and an internet for geeks and people wanting to steer away from that dystopian surveillance economy.

Have you ever explored gopherspace, the predecessor of www? Exploring the gopherspace is a unique experience to find some unusual texts and documents, notably some archives from the early computer/Unix days. Gopher is a very light text-based protocol. Some geeks still keep the gopherspace alive in terms of clients and content. There is at least one goid Android gopher client: DiggieDog. There is also a useful gopher extension for Firefox: Overbite (computer versions, not for Android). Maybe a gopher protocol could be built on top of nostr 🤔.
