  1. @ww @prahou Probably, this is not a so far future. Since, e.g. #FreeBSD Foundation located in the Boulder, Colorado and right in the Colorado there is a new bill proposed for age attestation on the computing devices:

    > The bill requires an operating system provider to:
    > Provide an accessible interface at account setup that requires an account holder to indicate the birth date or age of the user of that device to provide a signal regarding the user's age bracket (age signal) to applications available in a covered application store;

    I hope, this is some kind of "hype-law" to earn some political points. But, looking to the state of general computing and internet access in the world, I can't have so much hope :drgn_sigh:

    War, war on the #GeneralComputing never changes :drgn_sigh:

    People need to start not buying stuff, troll the shops and ask boisterously for #phones, displays, computers, #cars, that don't have fingerprinting, don't have Goo', M'Shaft or (f)Apple, malware. Hardware that has foss firmwares, etc.

    Antifa, but totally don't care about the violence their own nation is inflicting upon other nations, including via #expansionist foreign policy

    Antifa but say a peep about persecuted journalist, Assange.

    Antifa, but totally doesn't understand how important #generalComputing and #proofOfWork is to stop oligarchy.

    Antifa, but totally is fine with the technoFascist CAGEMAFIA being in bed with govt.

    "Give me power over the money supply and we care not who write it #code (-we mean: #laws)."

    All of the fascist CAGEMAFIA (incl. CloudGlare, ScAmazon, Goo, TurdsiteBuyer) are a threat to #generalComputing and to humanity, and must be destroyed, if we are ever to be free.

    Thank us later.

    We need a return to saving… conserving, and finally we have a decentralised Bitcoin currency that can help us do that.

    Finally a #deflationaryCurrency that rewards people who save, and who aren't consuming and speculating relentlessly with fresh cash from #moneyPrinting. Watch them try to bait-and-switch into #CentralBankDigitalCurrencies.

    We must foster #generalComputing where everyone has freedom to control how their #computer works.

  12. Computers are going backwards at a staggering rate.

    Ten years ago you could share a large file with your friends and family without Goog, (sc)Amazon or other CAGEMAFIA systems involved in the process — today, this is almost impossible, without #I2P.

    If you thought #Onionshare might work, it was not functional last we tried using it.

    Having said all that, there is no bitcoin or monero without secure and ethical computing systems, and people who can think.

    As we speak very corrupt fascists #printMoney to work on methods of undermining even #computers. They seem adament in making #GeneralComputing a radical, fringe act, while producing daily #FUDD (an added 'd' for distraction).

    We must all strive to educate, while securing and maintaining general computing and the software running on the general computer.

  14. CW: User-activated antitrust law

    In light of attacks on #generalComputing, our mind goes to a phrase the bitcoin community coined in 2016/17.

    The term "#UserActivatedSoftFork", or #UASF, was small bitcoin node operators resisting the bigs' attempt to have large blockSizes which would compromise #security of #Bitcoin.

    The #bigTechBlocker is similar. Its a '#UserActivatedAntitrustLaw' that prevents the decent into #technoFeudalism. And hyper-#massSurveillance.
