Surveillance state has tied with genocidal state:

It is an absolutely horrific plan of ethnic cleansing of #Gaza.

Is this going to be some some sort of 'smart city' as well? Absolutely gross. These grifters are evil and never forget that #colonialism ends with forced decolonization.

Settler colonialism can never avoid the death knell it will hear, as all colonial states will face that music.

Shower thought time (no, I'm not actually showering right now 😅)

I love the anonymity behind a cryptographically verifiable identity.

The identity is formed through history of use of that identity and no one can impersonate as I have my own key and no one can take it, unless I'm a noob and let someone take it.

I love this anonymity because at the end of it, who the fuck am I? Who knows? Let the identity speak for itself.

There is something so liberating of having this anonymity.

Obvious drawback: the more shared, the more I reveal bits and pixels of some real entity.

I hate that I still spend time on Twitter X. It's a terrible platform and I hate how much activity it still gets.
More people should use nostr. I'm unfortunately getting flashbacks of convincing some friends and family to get signal.

It was annoying, and for those who stuck with whatsapp, probably a good idea I dont associate with meta bootlickers anyways lol.

Soon I will apply the same with those that keep using Twitter X. Why waste more time.
