On the positive, this is free on Linux, though it’s still in Beta. It is nice in that some unwanted features are removed like AI, the cryptocurrency stuff, Tor…, and you can enable them if you want with a toggle.…
I didn’t know Naomi Brockwell was involved with this legislation and part of the Ludlow Institute. And she was a better speaker at the press conference than the two representatives. I see on their board that PGP creator Phil Zimmerman…
This is a good overview of the fallacy of Bitcoin‘s “security budget” being a problem. Block rewards won’t go away until about 2140, with the network then going to fees alone. Hashrate and fees will adjust to what is needed…
Anything with the UAE is of interest, as the country of the coming Antichrist, and seven heads of the Beast in Revelation, and also home to the Abrahamic Family House. Also, the image of the beast that is given breath…
What’s the point of a VPN if logged and tracked? Though, the making it a crime for you to violate the law is troublesome. I wonder how this will affect Tor usage? You can use bridges that obfuscate traffic to…
I’m not sure who would use this over the opensource git package, but if you do, you probably want to turn off Microsoft’s telemetry. Unless you want to help Microsoft train its AI with your activity. Opt-out instructions included…

For one, these politicians and tech megacorps don’t care about children as they’re all for murdering babies in the womb, and mutilating them for gender dysphoria. And I’d bet they would support a measure like in the Netherlands where you…
Banks are the absolute worst, as they’re still fighting you getting rewards for holding stablecoins, while they don’t pay you much interest for your bank account when they lend out 90% of your money making good returns. As stablecoins are…
Some of the responses to the X announcement were brutal, but deserved. And count me in for never running unpatched Bitcoin Core ever again, as I’m running the BIP-110 patched version of Bitcoin Knots, itself a patched version of Bitcoin…
Yet another state law for ID and age verification on install or first setup. Well, we know Meta and other tech megacorps are behind these laws and why they’re so similar. But it’s all a creep towards digital ID and…
Another example of the government violating the Bill of Rights and the 4th Amendment. Just keep location off and never enable the enhanced location service using WiFi or Bluetooth, unless you’re using it for navigation or BT for music. Also,…
