Speak for yourself. I find quite a bit of joy in “I told you so”.

Meshtastic is great for this. I have a meshtastic node that is also a 10,000mAh backup phone battery. Just running it as a meshtastic node lasted 50 days on a single charge. And while I’ve not done another complete drain test on it again, I know for a fact that it lasts over 30 days every single time I charge it.

This is the only correct response. Middle finger.

This would not have affected me since I use Lineage OS without Google Play Services, but I am now more seriously than ever looking into using a Linux phone like Postmarket OS.

Yes, I am more seriously than ever looking into using Postmarket OS.

I think the 24 hour wait is at least a sensible alternative. Anybody who’s going to be seriously installing apps on their devices like this is probably going to be using Lineage OS or Graphene OS or /e/OS or something like that anyway. And in that case, they will be using AOSP and not be subject to this because they’re not running a Google certified device.

While I’m not particularly happy about this change, I think it could be way worse.

Something tells me that Google drastically underestimated the amount of pushback they were going to get when they announced this. I mean, very drastically underestimated.

I haven’t read the article yet, but I’m about to. But no matter what, I’m still looking a lot more seriously into Linux on mobile, such as PostmarketOS than I was before.

Inflation. You are putting your labor in and getting a money that your government can almost literally print for free in their basement. When you do it, it’s called counterfeit and you can be sent to jail for many years or killed. If they do it, it’s called inflation and is perfectly acceptable. STOP USING THEIR CURRENCY and your life WILL get better. Use Monero, Gold, or Silver. Since the government can’t print those things, they will retain their value.

Several flash drives stored at different places. I update them either once every three months or when I make an incredibly important change to one of the entries in the database.

I am actually very, very, very seriously looking at post-market OS since it is mainline Linux on a phone.

I agree. Here at my house, I have fiber, but I only pay for 100 mbps because it’s the absolute cheapest plan I can possibly get. And if they offered something cheaper, and possibly even slower, I would be willing to accept that. Say 50 would be perfectly fine for me.

Now, admittedly, I wouldn’t want to go much under 50, but 40 and 50 is a perfectly serviceable connection.

That’s only with R-nodes, which are L-O-R-A. If doing it over a faster connection such as an ethernet cable, a wireless Wi-Fi type link, etc., it can do 40 MBPS according to the documentation.

I don’t have any watch recommendations because I don’t use one, but you might take a look at Asteroid OS, which I believe is an open source watch system.

Paypal web ui. For open source, as private as possible, you’re going to want Monero.

Since the government hates Monero so much, that’s actually not as big of a problem with Monero because people want to earn it and trade it for goods and services in the real world. Also, people who use Monero are incredibly against centralized exchanges and would like to see it banned from every single centralized exchange on Earth so that decentralized exchanges would be the only place you could obtain it or through permissionless atomic swaps and peer to peer. The Monero community also mocks number go up people and calls them state plants.

Right, unfortunately you’re really not going to be able to do that until such time as the state is defanged. You’ll have to wait until there’s a point where a state can’t enforce a monopoly on violence.

Oh, absolutely. But that’s because the way we’ve always done the stock market is through centralized systems. If a company were to be formed today and only ever issue their stock tokens on a decentralized system such as Ethereum, then the Ethereum system would be the final arbiter of who does and does not have shares in that company.

In today’s world, we are moving from analog systems to digital systems, and therefore, physical proof of ownership supersedes electronic proof of ownership.

If a company is digital native and issues their shares on a blockchain without ever issuing any kind of analog shares, then the electronic proof would supersede the physical proof, no matter what happened.

Say Alice has a hair salon that’s called Alice’s hair salon, and she issues one million tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, and each token represents one one millionth of the company, Alice’s hair salon. Well, since she never issued any stock on the analog systems, the Ethereum system would be the final arbiter of who does and does not own any of those Alice’s hair salon tokens.

I’m assuming you didn’t watch the video, because it did discuss that.

Alice, who is a subscriber of Dawn Defense, was murdered by Bill, who is a subscriber of Tanner Justice. Dawn Defense is pro-death penalty for murderers and Tanner Justice is not. Therefore, each company does a calculation to figure out how many users and how much revenue they will lose if their side is not upheld and the side that is likely to lose more pays the other side to stand down. In the case of the video, the assumption is that if Dawn Defense loses, they will lose one million currency units worth of customers, where if Tanner Justice loses, they will lose 500,000 currency units. So, Dawn Defense pays Tanner Justice 800,000 currency units to stand down, which is more than the 500,000 they would have lost, and less than the 1 million that Dawn would lose if they weren’t able to enforce the death penalty on Bill.

These stand-down arrangements would be known beforehand, and therefore, when Bill subscribes to Tanner Justice, he would be informed that if he murders a client of dawn defense, that he will not be protected from the death penalty.

Oh, for sure. I saw another video somewhere yesterday that said you needed like seven pillars for a decentralized society. Decentralized communication, food, contracts, law, physical manufacturing, energy, and money. While I agree with that list, I think that an eighth one should be added, and that would be education. You might be able to fit education under communication, but I feel as though it doesn’t properly fit there.
