What the fuck.

I predict the first collapse in July 2026. At the end of 2027 there will be the whole plan visible but vague. In the middle of 2029 it will be clear what is going on. The hardest to predict is to where are they gonna strike, in which part of the system, be it the social media corporations, operating system makers or maybe even hardware itself or even hardware design stages. In the current situation, it's still unknown what agreements were achived between governments and big players like google, apple and microsoft, meta etc. It should be public but it isn't. One thing I know for sure, that using the most powerful excuse to introduce those laws and using a new term "highly effective" tells me they are very afraid of loosing control of something and it almost looks like the last effort, almost a panic, crisis and damage control.

Do you really want to know how a wave of teens and privacy aware people after social media block looks like? Nostr may not be able to hold for one hour under those conditions. A shitstorm of clursterfuck proportions doesn't even get close to a proper description. But it will happen sooner or later on Nostr too. I just hope it will have enough relays to not collapse in the first hour

As much as I love "easy install" from app stores, those have a very dark side to them which we are witnessing with apple removing all apps which a government doesn't like. Centralised app delivery is just dangerous in this context. Giving away freedom for convinience is not the best idea in a long term.

I've seen all the spotify songs dumped on torrent and it's massive

When cameras in the living room? They stopped respecting red lines, so maybe we should too?

That's exactly how it works. The question is how much time has to pass between "protect children" and a real disclosure what the system is for

You should place your gpg key fingerprint in multiple places to make it hard to swap to an attacker. Also the canary should contain at least one event from current news to prove it wasn't signed backward in time.

"Protecting kids"... didn't take long to show the real face, did it?

Agreeing to use locked down systems will lead to the ultimate lockdown of everything. It's not a technical problem, it's a human or societal problem. It's also probably included in the plan which is being executed as we speak: age blocks, IDs, scanning. That's why even small changes are dangerous. If we don't want to end up being controlled by governments on every step, I suggest to take action

I hope noone will verify using their app. But it's irrelevant anyway until x86, and partially arm and risc hardware is open and has no forced bootloader lock. Keep an eye on any possible moves which can lead to a full bootloader locking, because that would be the hot point where the fun stops and war begins.
