Your normie friend is the reason we have AML in the first place. She doesn't care about freedom and human rights. She will only care once the digital gulag is fully established.

Why not? LN is more a banking type network than something freedom activists would use.

If the base assumption is that non-consensual sex is not rape than of course taxation is not tyranny, extortion, theft. However you may call it.

Bitcoin is a shitcoin when it comes to freedom under an oppressive regime. By the way. I doubt you live in a place without a regime. You just haven't fully realized it.

Monero

IRS knocks on door. You guys will learn a hard lesson about fungibility and privacy.

Monero devs save LN? This approach has its various downsides where as a Monero bro I have a hard time recommending it, but it might very well be the most usable way to receive and send LN transactions with agreeable downsides for normie users.

Interesting. Let me add this... http://haveno.markets Do you know if something like this exists for Bisq? It used to.

Do you have a mouth? If the answer is yes. Talk to them about your worries. Help them up their game. Guess what. I not just helped 100+ people to buy Bitcoin between 2012 and 2019. I also helped them to get a custom ROM and install SimpleX. Be precise. Be articulate. Be helpful. It will serve you to have a potent environment in time of crisis.

Unfortunately the Umbrel home server doesn't come with Coreboot/Libreboot which means we can't reliably deactivate Intel ME.

Transparent Bitcoin? You mean Monero.

I recommend calling Microsoft's systemd trojan horse system ID. #Linux #AgeVerification # Surveillance

NixOS relies on systemID which will age verify you. Ditch CFOSS (corporate funded operating system shit) Linux.

Part of the larger plan to keep migration/mobility in check.

Redox gets developed by System76 who plan to comply with OS age verification.

Satoshi was a cooperation between Nick, Adam, Len and Hal.

All I see is a long-term trend down break.

The only social network I use is Nostr. Everything else is ID crap that you should opt out while you still can.

Tether corporate funding makes this a hard pass.
