1. Banks want to keep you using banks
2. Keeping Bitcoin blocks small, makes Layer 1 unusable as real world cash
3. Non-Custodial Layer 2 is complex, the average person won't do it or pay for it
4. Custodial Layer 2 is the new Banking
5. Fiat Banks and insurance companies funded Blockstream.
6. Bitcoin Core devs also worked for Blockstream, which sells layer 2 solutions. That's a conflict of interest, they are solving the problem they create with the "small block" routine.
7. By having Maxis do the shitcoin routine on good alternatives, it forces the unrealistic solution of self-host Layer-2 hot wallets with a 1k minimum to play... or use bank custodial accounts.
8. Keeping the blocks small does NOT decentralize it, as lightning routes only work with large players acting as facilitators. And you can't even receive lightning unless you've already got funded channels. This is literally inequality: You need money to get money.
Therefore,
Nobody uses Bitcoin in the Real World. And Banks win.
What part of this are you disputing?

UP UNTIL NOW, CLOWNING ON THE LEFT WAS COOL
BUT NOW, ALL NOSTR USERS HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SHITPOST TRUMP MEMES.
Be very careful about Trump's Biometric Digital ID that will marketed as a solution to immigration. In reality, it will be used to control the population with facial recognition and Palantir AI.
Peter Thiel backed Trump, as his firm Palantir sells AI to the CIA and ICE. The Trump "immigration wall" was marketed as a physical barrier in 2016, but has turned into a digital one using AI and facial recognition cameras. It's very easy for those cameras to now turn inward, to prevent you from leaving. And for those cameras to end up on your local street corner, to "prevent immigration crime"
Yes, it's great that Trump won over the totalitarian left. But now, more than ever, you have to remain vigilant and critical of state power.

One of our readers did a Political Poll in the SimpleX Group
They had Harris beating Trump by a margin
Which was fitting, because in real life, Harris voters are like SimpleX users, where no ID enables the same guy to have many mail-in identity votes

Cell Towers vs WiFi.
In this wicked useful and brand spanking new post, I'm going to teach you what data is being shared from cell towers vs WiFi, and what your options to reduce that are. The end has 3 example cellphone setups for the average person, somewhat savvy, and tinfoil hat.
~~~
When you connect to cellphone towers:
You're using the modem which has an IMEI identification number. Using a DeGoogled phone and a VPN does NOT change this from revealing info about the hardware TO the TOWER, such as where it was bought. And who bought it.
There's a couple ways to deal with this. One way is to buy it in cryptocurrency, from a company like mine. This is the easiest method for most people.
A second way is to use external hotspots for service, and buy those locally in cash. For example GLinet travel routers:
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/glinet/index.html
(or crypto like Calyx/Tmobile depending on your country.) Some prefer this because then they can put it in a faraday bag to hide their location at home. And only take it out of the faraday bag outside their house.
A third way is to change the IMEI. This method is controversial, as some say it's stealth. Others say you're drawing attention to yourself by giving them bullshit or previous numbers.
Some devices are easier to change then others. And some countries have made it illegal to change the IMEI. Of course, I can not recommend anything illegal. But if it is legal in your country, then generally older things such as Nokias are the easiest. LunarDAO has a guide on this:
https://wiki.lunardao.net/imei.html
A combination of the 2nd and 3rd way can be done by using something like Blue Merle. This is software for GLiNET travel routers that changes the IMEI of the router. Then you could in theory swap different SIM cards. However, this has a high risk of potential error for a new user, and it's unclear who's audited it:
https://github.com/srlabs/blue-merle
~~~
When you connect to WiFi:
You're NOT using the IMEI. Instead, you're getting a MAC address assigned to you by the router. This is a local area network. Android randomly generates MAC addresses for each connection, and you can actually see these in the settings of the WiFi connection.
In general, Android security is pretty good for WiFi. However, the CIA loves to hack routers. From the Wikileaks documents, we know they prefer to tunnel traffic from home routers directly to the CIA to see the traffic.
There's two main ways to avoid this. First, you could always use a VPN, which then bypasses the router's DNS.
Second, you could always be behind a firewall or travel router. The router's WAN port is the one communicating with a modem (public internet). While the router's LAN or (local area network) is the one giving you a MAC address.
~~~
What are some example setups?
average person:
Phone (bought with Crypto)
\/
SIM (bought with cash)
\/
VPN
\/
JMP Chat (VoIP)
(using public xmpp servers)
\/
Cell numbers
~~~~~
Savvy dude:
Phone (bought with Crypto)
\/
Silent Link (Crypto eSIM)
\/
VPN
\/
VPS you control
self-host xmpp
\/
JMP Chat (VoIP)
\/
Cell numbers
~~~~~
Tinfoil hat:
Phone (bought with Crypto)
No SIM. Using Tor
\/
GLiNET router w/ SIM (Using VPN)
maybe faraday bags or IMEI changes
\/
VPS you control
self-host xmpp
\/
JMP Chat (VoIP)
\/
Cell numbers
~~~~~
And of course, regular SMS is horrible. Go with a real messenger if the other person will allow it, (which one is actually not that critical): Signal, XMPP, Matrix, Session, SimpleX.
Self-hosting the VPS just provides another layer of protection that you control between the hostile adversary and you.
So our team can help you get a Phone, or setup a VPS:
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/they-see-everything/index.html
But even if you go with another option, I hope you digest my core message:
you've got way more control than you think.

Nostr & Freedom Tech in South America!
https://privacy.exodusdiablo.xyz/ecosistema-digital/libertad.jpg
Often developing countries have less resources for privacy and freedom technology. WhatsApp is extremely common in South America. Among major providers, there are typically less VPN locations. And often companies try to take advantage of the lack of knowledge, for example custodial bitcoin wallets.
The people's data is abused, but often the political situations may actually need the protection to protect journalism and free speech. It is in the midst of this crisis, Simplified Privacy's Zenaku has risen to the challenge.
With unmatched passion, his artistic talent and computer knowledge brings the educational materials to life!
https://privacy.exodusdiablo.xyz/content/zenaku/c2.png
Zenaku has designed Simplified Privacy's clearweb, Tor, and Arweave websites. He's animated over 5 of our videos. And even wrote original content in Spanish on what's he's learned about Nostr, Monero, Linux, and Encrypted messengers.
No adversity can set him back. Even when I ran out of money, Zenaku continued to work day and night on the next project for free.
https://privacy.ar-node.megastake.org/content/zenaku/preguntas-nostr.png
To the Nostr townsquare, I am proud to showcase Zenaku's work for you today. And we hope you will find the value in our new Spanish program. We are accepting donations, and if you donate over $25, you can pick the topic of an article.

I am buying Bitcoin Lightning Liquidity
Using my PGP-Monero deposit as collateral.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA512
Simplified Privacy steps to the market to buy Bitcoin Lightning liquidity under the following conditions.
If you want to put money upfront (loan) it to open a channel, I will pay you half AFTER the opening of the channel, half at close.
Step 1.
You give me your UID.
I evaluate your node's liquidity.
We agree on price
Step 2.
I give you my public key and IP/Tor
Step 3.
You initiate, You fund the channel, you are long Bitcoin, and earning interest.
I am borrowing inbound liquidity with no spending ability.
Step 4.
I pay you half our agreed fee upon completion of the open. Simplified Privacy is regulated by XMRBazaar. Bound by a 2 XMR deposit, locked into an immutable Arweave contract with the PGP key found on SimplifiedPrivacy.eth
Step 5.
In 3-6 months, you come back and demand more fee or threaten to close the channel. If it's good, I pay you more to renew.
Rules:
1. I am NOT sending you money before the open
2. No premature closure threats
3. If you threaten me with closure because I wrote about Monero, I will use this as proof why Bitcoin is worthless. You'd be proving why Bitcoin makes you lose freedom of speech.
SimplifiedPrivacy.eth PGP signs this, then Nostr sign on top of that, as true and legitimate binding law.

I believe you would benefit from the educational materials on our website. And I'm excited to share this knowledge with you.
XMPP is the gold standard for the darkweb, known for OMEMO and OTR encryption.
Nostr metadata is out in the open. The clients don't all have the gift wrap, only a few do. And the new gift wrap v3 isn't audited last I heard. Also without the gift wrap, there's no rotating keys, so then you might as well use Session which follows a similar model with relays and encryption as identity.

Morality is objective, as there would be no purpose in it if it was subjective. You could kill and say "to me it felt right"
Morality is a survival mechanism, as we can't survive without basic rules.
Morality dictates you can't kill or enslave others (which is how I'm defining liberty here)
Therefore,
An individual's unconditional objective rights are derived morality, which is an emotional experience in the human mind, that should be governed by objective rules, derived from reason.
This could be also be phrased,
Rights come from mankind's ability to reason.

If the purpose of Slack is to discuss business within your company internally... why do you need Nostr relays for that?
If the purpose of Nostr is censorship resistance over relays, why do you want Nostr keys without relays? Wouldn't that increase attack surface for the CIA?

Be honest
Which of these seems like a better pitch to a normie?
a)
When you spend Bitcoin, it creates tiny capital gains taxes, which nobody wants to keep track of. So to avoid this, when you buy Bitcoin on a KYC exchange, you should then mix it with hackers and criminals, which immediately lowers it's value, and can be seized if you deposit it back on the exchange. But this is just to then deposit it into a channel, which you might want to self-host with $500 worth, but it could be a smaller amount with the right non-custodial wallet. Make sure to backup your channels by saving that information, in-case the lightning wallet provider screws you over, which happened with a few US-based ones during the previous crackdowns. Now if the other person is online, you can send them layer 2 coins, which can't be traced. So you can argue to the tax authorities that you spent the original layer 1 Bitcoin when you mixed it with criminal coins. And then they should be will be willing to accept that you owe no tax, even though Bitcoin's price went to the moon. Just ignore the fact that they jailed other people for tax evasion, because those convicted felons didn't do it right. Those other people didn't separate their identity from the activity of the coins, but you're going to master this better than them, despite no experience. Because you can count on me to teach you. Next I'll go over how you can receive coins for your business, and then separate the fluctuating value from that business. Bitcoin is freedom.
b)
Use Monero. There are liquid global peer-to-peer markets with reliable arbitrators, so from the perspective of your bank, you're just paying some random dude. But even if you get it on a KYC exchange in your name, the moment you buy it, it becomes completely untraceable, and so you can say you spent or lost it, and effortlessly pay no tax. It costs 1 penny to send.

Normally, phone vendors try to sell the newest model because the profit margin is the highest
But why would you want a Pixel 6a?
--Great for an easy second phone, we sell them for just $245
--Reduce having to send large amounts of cryptocurrency, it's low risk
--Maybe you aren't ready to switch over every app of iPhone or stock android, but you can still get the benefits of a degoogled phone for your personal apps like Nostr, Signal, SimpleX, Bitcoin, Monero, ect.
--Isolate your work or personal life. Or some high risk apps.
--The newer models have physical hardware for location tracking, with "find my phone", that COULD potentially be a hardware backdoor. 6a doesn't have this
--GrapheneOS still will have 2-3 years of security updates for the 6a. You're telling me you're gonna use the Pixel 9 for three years? Get outta here, by then we'll have Pixel 99999
--Google is abusive and releases new models rapidly, that have very little benefit to the end user, so you're enabling them to profit from ripping you off.
-Get a PGP-signed receipt, backed by our binding deposit with XMRBazaar, with a legal contract permanently burned onto Arweave's immutable blockchain, as the true and legitimate rule of man
-Keep your name off the IMEI hardware that connects to cell towers to track your location
6a Summary,
-Low Risk
-Save Money
-Try out DeGoogling

I 100% agree with you bro. That's why I'm shocked to see that Brave Browser REMOVED support for IPFS.
Ethereum name service costs $3 to update, who is going to pay this for each blog post? That's why we keep our static PGP key on SimplifiedPrivacy.eth but no other content
However, Solana names are cheaper to update, and faster to access queries. But Brave was the only one resolving those names.
This move by Brave shows the industry doesn't get it.
They are happy about Google search balances, but not the real use case of websites.

2024-10-10 00:03:35

Ethereum Tyranny Agenda:
Ethereum Name Service is now integrated with Google search. You can search an .eth name and get the balance.
It's sad to see the ETH community cheer on the coming surveillance to rip away our freedoms.
The purpose of decentralized systems & cryptocurrency is to resist the banks and big tech, which should trigger an adversarial response. These VCs that back ETH projects, often have a history of funding the centralized oppressive systems and rebellion simultaneously.
Here's the agenda:
1. Farcaster's Warpcast now requires tokens to enter each community.
2. Force people to use KYC exchanges to get these tokens the devs print
3. Farcaster doesn't pay the hubs to store the data, so not only can the devs leech all the money, but there's no incentive to resist a takedown if you make no money to keep content up.
Therefore,
4. The empire can track who is speaking on "censorship resistant" platforms and cancel them tech-wise or in-real-life.
5. And if the ETH devs resist, they risk having their coins delisted from KYC exchanges. This forces compliance

Value is subjective and exists in the mind of the consumer.
If you are able to make a living solely off accepting and using Bitcoin, good for you.
But it sounds like you're earning using fiat banks and just happen to own a tiny amount of Bitcoin. In which case, you're a slave in the system. And in fact, promoting government propaganda. Sounds like you're rolling in the grass because you're homeless.

Microsoft Tyranny Agenda:
1) Create a culture where you're discriminated against employment unless you have a Linked-In
2) Force you to verify your real details on Linked-In.
3) By agreeing to be on Linked-In, you agree to train AI on your data, and monitor the web of all human interaction
4) Allow radical woke socialists to view your real job details, so they can cancel and control you. This purges "freedom speech" from positions of power.
5) Pressure you take drugs (labeling it a vaccine), to keep the job.
The end goal is to crush freedom, by forcing anyone who isn't self-employed to be cancellable. And by controlling everyone's visible on the platform, they control the flow of funds.
The answer is clear: Start a business, accept cryptocurrency, and communicate through means you control.

WordPress Civil War!
Wordpress.org and Wordpress.com are fighting in court
The non-profit .org blocked the for-profit .com from accessing critical resources, like plugins from being updated, because they claim they aren't "giving back", in other words, paying money for using the name and trademark.
Who is right? They both suck, I don't care about the complex history! This highlights that external plugins are barely under your control, and wordpress is bloat.
It's bad enough that people rely on some random developer of a third party plugin, but then on top of that, to wonder if the dictator WordPress organization will block your DNS access to that random developer's update? This is essentially allowing the WordPress organization to own your VPS.

The issue with cash is:
--You're carrying a large amount of paper

Protonmail is propaganda, as it encourages centralization. Yes the self-host VPS provider can see it, but so can proton. This puts all eggs in one basket, which is a corrupt and easily accessed basket. Please see the following I wrote earlier:
~
First, Proton is NOT end-to-end encrypted. As per own their blog:
https://proton.me/support/proton-mail-encryption-explained
(Please note, I only changed the CAPS)
Quote:
"The email is encrypted in transit using TLS. It is THEN UNENCRYPTED and re-encrypted (by us) for storage on our servers using zero-access encryption. Once zero-access encryption has been applied, no-one except you can access emails stored on our servers (including us). It is NOT end-to-end encrypted, however, and might be accessible to the sender’s email service"
</end quote>
Second, they do scan it for spam and phising.
They repeat this with:
Source: https://proton.me/blog/encrypted-email-spam-filtering
"Emails that come from third party email providers obviously CANNOT be delivered with end-to-end encryption, but upon reaching our mail servers, we will encrypt them with the recipient’s public key before saving the messages(new window). All this is done in memory so that by the time anything is permanently stored to disk, the email is already un-readable to us. This gives us a very limited window to perform spam filtering on incoming messages."
Then they further elaborate,
"Secondly, the message is passed through our customized Bayesian filters which marks suspicious messages as spam.
Next, we generate checksums of incoming messages and check them against a database of known spam messages. If there is a match, we mark the message as spam. The checksums are done in such a way that it is also effective against mutating spam emails."
</end quote>
So they claim to have it unencrypted, then have a "limited time" to stop spam, but then also claim to encrypt it, and then after compare the hash to spam hash. If their own claims were true, then why do they only have a limited time?
Third, they hand over huge amounts of data. If it's encrypted, then what do they have to hand over?
From their own transparency report:
https://proton.me/legal/transparency
"2023
Number of legal orders: 6,378
Contested orders: 407
Orders complied with: 5,971
2022
Number of legal orders: 6,995
Contested orders: 1,038
Orders complied with: 5,957"
</end quote>
While as with a self-host VPS,
With a large amount of effort, the VPS provider could in theory snapshot memory to get access to emails. But this data is being sent through SSL encryption, so passive general surveillance is protected against. It would have to be work (and money wasted) for them to get the data.

Google is Totalitarian.
The police dragged Google’s internal employees out of the building in handcuffs, just to get them to stop protesting.
As we’ll get to in a moment, that’s just the visible physical world, the real censorship you never hear about is digital.
This article directly benefits you, because you need persuasive examples to convince your friends, co-workers, or family to stop using Gmail or docs. It takes two to tango.
In this juicy article, we’ll cover:
a) Election Manipulation
b) Surveillance and Substitution to “Program the population”
c) Removal of Dictionary Translation Words for politics
d) Blocking the keywords “cure cancer”
e) Suppression of small businesses, even unrelated to politics
f) Firing and arresting their own employees
Manipulated Elections
It likely won’t surprise you to hear that Google and it’s employees are among the biggest donors to Kamala Harris, with well over a million in donations, but yet they have given zero to Donald Trump. [1] But what you may not be aware of, is even mid-level employees are confessing to abusive election manipulation.
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/big-tech/google-totalitarian/images/donations-by-candidate.jpeg
Ad Manipulation
In a leaked viral video, Google’s Growth strategy employee Dakota Leazer, openly admits to a stranger on a dinner date that the company actively manipulates the ad results to favor Kamala Harris. Their manipulation strategy is to pretend that ads that Kamala is paying for, are from third parties such as PBS to hide the bias in her favor. In this leaked video, Leazer confesses the company looks to ABUSE FEAR tactics in anti-Trump ads to make more money. [2]
Supression
There are so many whistleblowers we can not even cover them all. Zach Vorhies, was an engineer who worked for Google’s AI and search divisions. He was so shocked by their totalitarian manipulation of search results, that he leaked over 900 pages of Google slides, emails, and memos to the DoJ. These documents show how they purposefully surpress certain news outlets, viewpoints, and data. [3a]
SEO is a Lie
Many people mistakenly think that Google ranks news articles based on how many keywords or inbound links they get or match. Vorhies leaked internal slides clearly demonstrate the truth behind SEO, which is that each news outlet is given a direct ranking score, based on management making a subjective opinion on the “channel’s quality”. The largest factor in the rankings is how much it aligns with the political views they wish to push: [3b]
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/big-tech/google-totalitarian/images/google_rating_classifier.jpeg
Removing Translation Words
The cataylst for Zach Vorhies to speak out, was when he saw Google removing translation words from the Arabic to English translation dictonary, for the purpose of making Donald Trump’s tweets seem crazy. Then in coordination with the legacy media, the 25th Amendment could be invoked to argue Trump was unfit for the presidency, because he was tweeting nonsense. [3b]
Profit from Violence
As I have pointed out previously, Google is a military cloud contractor. Given what we learned from both Vorhies and Leazer’s testimony, it is not unreasonable to think that, in the future, they would remove Russian or Arabic translation words to prevent peace, as Google profits from war.
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/big-tech/google-totalitarian/images/google-programs-people.PNG
Program People
Also within these leaked documents, was clear references to “programming people”. As Vorhies explained in an interview on the Jim Rutt podcast, the goal was to serve the user the inputs (via search results), and have them produce their own content (writing/podcasts/videos) as the outputs. Then this user produced content could be promoted by the algorithm, to reinforce the belief that the agenda Google’s executives picked was widespread and societal. [3b]
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/big-tech/google-totalitarian/images/program-people.jpg
Fake Buttons
Zach Vorhies also leaked internal memos suggesting that a method to make users feel comfortable with censorship, was to give them fake buttons, to give users a false sense of control. The idea was to give the users fake dials that didn’t work, or did some minor trivial change. So the user felt like they were still in control, even though the censorship remained. [3b]
Cure Cancer Blacklisted
Vorhies slides discuss the blacklisted search phrases that can’t produce real results on Youtube. Shockingly this includes “cure cancer” and “cancer cure”. Not any particular person with bad information, but the entire idea. Likely this is because Big Pharma buys search ads.
Selling Manipulation
By talking about this, I risk having our entire business suppressed.
Moonshot CVE
Google’s Jigsaw division has partnered with Moonshot CVE to sell search engine manipulation services to the US government. They openly store IP addresses, addresses, names (if they can get it), and search queries for the general population. And then if they label you an “extremist”, forward your traffic to what they deem to be the truth. [9][10]
Extremists
And what defines “extremist views”? They pretend that it’s just violence, but it extends far beyond that to include vaccine hesitancy, researching Waco, distrust of harder immigration policies, and gender views. They are comparing violent jihad extremists to questioning the covid “vaccines”, immigration, or gender surgery on social media. And treating them the same as terrorists in their redirect program. [10][11]
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/big-tech/google-totalitarian/images/vaccine-disinfo.png
Leaked Github code shows they use Chrome Browser to track real time clicks and movement on pages, which makes it easier to manipulate you: [5]
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/big-tech/google-totalitarian/images/chrome-visits.png
Even Gmail
Some mistakenly think that because they aren’t a public Youtube figure, they will be allowed to speak. But Google surpresses even Gmail from eldlerly citizens. A 76-year-old woman in Jacksonville is suing Google for deplatforming her about an hour after she emailed members of her pro-life group calling for a peaceful Catholic Mass and gathering in front of A Woman’s Choice, an abortion business in Florida. [4a]
11 Years Lost
“Trudy Perez-Poveda says Google targeted her after she sent the correspondence through Gmail. Google refused to allow Perez-Poveda to access her more than 11-year trove of stored emails, photographs, calendars, contacts and other data, her attorneys say.” [4b]
Even not political
Github Leak
Some mistakenly think that because they aren’t talking about politics, they will be given a fair opportunity in life. However, leaked Github API code demonstrates that Google’s algorithm openly favors larger corporations for SEO, even if the smaller blogger offered more specialized expertise. [5]
Even worse, the leaked code showed there was literally a sandbox for smaller websites, despite Google employees previously denying this.
Oppress Small Businesses
Detailed and elaborate research from the small business “HouseFresh” on their own SEO, demonstrates Google’s incredible bias against smaller competitors, even if their prices are lower and their product is objectively of higher quality. [6]
Degrade Search
In a different study entitled “Is Google degrading search?”, Yelp’s statistical researcher, Tim Wu, focused on eCommerce and found Google promoted it’s own content above organic results, but when objectively tested, audiences were 45% more likely to engage with search results that were organically determined. [7]
Google is a raging hypocrite because they both:
a) Manipulate the results to favor Democrat politicians, who supposedly want to end inequality
b) Manipulate the results to favor large businesses at the expense of smaller ones, which literally creates inequality
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/big-tech/google-totalitarian/images/protest-google.webp
Silence their own employees
Over 50 internal employees were fired for protesting Google’s work to design AI that murders Palestinians by drone. [8a] Eight had to be arrested to get them to stop protesting. [8b]
Only after the police dragged these employees out in handcuffs, and Google’s management released statements about removing opinions from the workplace, was the company able to continue their profitable Palestinian AI-drone slaughter.
Let’s bring it home…
Google’s only power exists in your mind.
It’s only because you use their services, do they have any control over you. It’s hard to avoid given other people’s choices, but not impossible. This article gave you some sources and ammo to persuade those who try to force you. But you’ve got to spin it in terms the person you’re trying to convince cares about. I believe in you.

It doesn't surprise me that,
SimpleX is under attack by corrupt liar Wired:
"Neo-Nazis Are Fleeing Telegram for Encrypted App SimpleX Chat"
https://www.wired.com/story/neo-nazis-flee-telegram-encrypted-app-simplex/
What DOES surprise me is the reaction of developer Evgeny Poberezkin,
Here's the quote from the article:
<quote>
"And Poberezkin believes that the current limitations of his technology will mean these groups will eventually abandon SImpleX.
“SimpleX is a communication network, rather than a service or a platform, where users can host their own servers, like in Open Web, so we were not aware that extremists have been using it,” says Poberezkin. “We never designed groups to be usable for more than 50 users and we’ve been really surprised to see them growing to the current sizes despite limited usability and performance. We do not think it is technically possible to create a social network of a meaningful size in the SimpleX network.”"
</end quote>
This is surprising because Evgeny told us that groups could scale by reducing the reliance on a single invite link, so anyone could enter via any group member or "super members".
In fact, even from his own tweets, just 2 days prior:
<quote>
"We agree that once group can scale, they will help growth."
</quote>
Source: https://xcancel.com/SimpleXChat/status/1841561127320199583#m
This is the danger of doing cypherpunk stuff, with government money venture capital and registered LLCs. At the slightest push from the mainstream media, he changes his tune.
I like Evgeny. He's a good guy. And I DON'T blame him for trying to stop his company from being associated with bad actors. But we need to be honest here, he's trying to have his cake and eat it too. He wants to be a cypherpunk, but collect the paycheck of a corporation.
What he should have said to Wired is: "This technology is like the printing press. It improves our lives and offers all of this freedom. But once it's made, the inventor can't control what people say. Do you really want to live in a world without the press, Wired?"

Heads up w/ Youtube front-ends:
Invidious doesn't work right now,
But FreeTube does
Note: A lot of the same videos are on Odysee, and you can use farside.link to serve you new front-end instances. So it’s quite possible you don’t even need Youtube, but if you do then:
FreeTube is a desktop app getting it directly from Google, (so it doesn’t hide your IP), while as before:
Invidious was a website viewed in a browser, that’s hosted on a VPS. The community volunteer VPS hosts and official team are trying to resolve the issues Google’s purposefully created to force views of ads and do surveillance.

SPECIAL SALE:
As Monero is delisted from Kraken (for the EU),
Simplified Privacy jumps into the fray, to buy XMR, by selling discounted hardware & services
We’re offering $10 off your Phone or VPS combo purchase, to offer stability to the market and defy oppression.
https://simplifiedprivacy.com/posts/cryptocurrency/kraken-eu/images/house-clouds.png
First, if new exchanges aren't listing it, then basic logic would tell us that there's only so many times they can delist XMR to cause a price-propaganda event, and eventually the bad news is priced in. So just hold and ignore it for a week.
And the Kraken insiders sold prior to the announcement, that’s why XMR fell more than other coins in the general market. So if you sell now, you’re essentially letting them urinate on your wallet and manipulate your emotions.
Second, to prove my first point, if you don't want to hold your XMR, I will accept it right now today for a Phone or Email setups at a discount. You want to get rid of it? Come on down, and get a completely off-the-radar DeGoogled Pixel or an awesome VPS setup to be self-sovereign with all your communications (email, xmpp, docs, ect)
The invasion of your privacy is only first beginning, if you do nothing and sit by, it’s only getting worse. Stop just liking memes and complaining, and start taking action.

But if people were using PGP arbitration, Monero/lightning, Nostr/Bastyon, Arweave websites, YaCy search engines, Self-hosted emails & docs, Linux, and XMPP/SimpleX/Session, then:
What does it matter whose in charge? Governments would have no way to control the population. The printing money would be meaningless.
Given this technology already exists,
Then:
The main obstacle is cultural.
Therefore:
If you refuse to use freedom technology, or even worse try to haze it, you aid the oppressor in the war for our minds.

For the email setups we do for customers, it’s Debian OS, FOSS Mailu on the backend, and any client can be used such as Thunderbird which has PGP. K9 for android. Also we put on the VPS the web client SnappyMail. Having a web client is less of a big deal IF you’re running the VPS. SnappyMail is a hell of a lot faster to load than Proton, and the tools are decent.
If you want guidance on the setup, where we have no access and just tell you commands, we can do that as well, https://simplifiedprivacy.com/email-cloud-combo/index.html

Timeshift for Linux has saved my ass 100 times
This is a backup tool using rsync, where you can "go back in time" to the previous version of your software. (like before an upgrade or change)
It doesn't directly touch the user files, like say a text file. But if your software gets rolled back, it might affect files that software uses (like a messenger)
There's both GUI and CLI (you can use CLI if you get locked out of the graphical desktop bootup). So then you'd select "Recovery Mode" in GRUB bootup, and then using that command line interface do a timeshift backup restore. Ask me questions on it! I want to help you

Under global wireless settings, make sure Orbot is set to "Always On" Then zero traffic should be going through anything but tor, regardless of any browser settings.

Especially if one can't use external PGP with them, unless it's literally copy pasted as text

I am being respectful to educate you, but it's possible this conversation could go downhill if you continue to fail to understand the concept.

If you are capable of understanding this,
Then how do you not grasp that PGP on your end client, is radically different than inserting the PGP private key into a web app text box??
Protonmail is propaganda, changing the definition of end-to-end. It’s end-to-cloud.

Yes it's like any other web browser app, so you shouldn't be using web apps. We encourage people to use CLIENTS. Nostr clients interact with relays in a way that assumes they are hostile. The relay can't see the password.
While as protonmail is purposefully pushing people to their web app, because thunderbird or normal email clients don't work. PGP should be done on the end client, not kept in the cloud.

Epic Games sues Google & Samsung for blocking it's new store
Epic Games makes the fun Fortnite game,
Samsung made the physical phone,
Google made the Play Store to leech huge fees, like 20%
Originally Epic sued Google, and Epic WON for their Monopoly of the Play store and ridiculous fees. So Epic made their own "store" to distribute games. [1]
Despite the court ruling against them, corrupt Google and Samsung automatically block the Epic Games app, unless the user is smart enough to figure out how to turn it on in the settings. [2]
Google's propaganda team spews dribble about this being for security purposes, but as we reported earlier, the Play store has such rampant malware, that Google had to abandon it's security bounties because it couldn't afford to keep up. [3]
Now Epic games AGAIN is taking Google and Samsung to court to sue them over blocking their new store.

Do you struggle to convince politically-left normies to use Nostr ?
Do your left-leaning friends insist you talk to them on WhatsApp?
You try to explain that it’s censorship resistant, but they are so brainwashed that they think anything being censored must be fake news. Well guess what, now even criticism of the right is being censored!
Hackers got new documents on the Trump campaign. And in there is controversial material on JD Vance. Now Meta is blocking all links to the documents. While you can point out to your friends that when Wikileaks had dirt on Hillary Clinton it was allowed to stay up.
Tell your friends that you want to send the link, but you can’t. And if they care about the “fabric of their democracy”, they have to join Nostr and encrypted messengers like SimpleX, Session, or Signal.

In his viral video with 20 million views,
James Duane makes the surprising case for why you should never talk to the police:
A few of his many arguments are:
--They can and do lie about anything, including the law
--They can and do take things way out of context to hurt you, including exaggerating even your tone or pauses
--Even if you think you've done nothing wrong, it can and does lead to convictions:
--You may have unknowingly committed a crime, and you just admitted to it.
--You may bring up erroneous but believable evidence even if you're innocent
His core thesis is:
There is NOTHING TO GAIN by talking to the police, You CAN'T talk your way out of being arrested.
What you say CAN'T be used to HELP you, it CAN'T be submitted at trial, the judge would dismiss it as "hearsay". Police and lawyers have confirmed, that NEVER ONCE did talking to the police help avoid an arrest.
But there is EVERYTHING TO LOSE, as they can twist and contort literally anything you say into a crime.
Numerous legal scholars and even police officers have agreed with his views, causing it go viral even though the mainstream media will never tell you about it. Get this suppressed knowledge now, and smash the repost to help our fellow nostr family members,

If someone posted the N-word, the reaction would be:
Twitter:
Ban.
Gab:
It's their god-given right to say it.
Mastodon:
If you don't ban that meme, we will isolate you from society
Nostr:
So? Just don't follow that guy. Why should I accept a moderator for MY content, just because THAT guy is dumb? If you think about it, taking away my freedoms over that guy, is like the very slavery you claim to be against.
BlueSky:
We've got a meeting next week to decide IF we'll either ban you, or actually federate the servers. And then we'll send out emails apologizing on your behalf.
Farcaster:
We're developing a new decentralized-AI-moderation protocol powered by pooping-llama coin. This revolutionary new coin is hosted on users' computers in return for rewards, and cracks down on racism. Buy it now!
Bastyon:
The CIA kills brown-people every day and nobody cares. You care about typing words, more than actual genocide?! I'll use any language I have to for you to read it nigger.

Yes we can do 256G, but not at the exact same discount. If you're serious about ordering, send me a DM with your country and I can get a price quote for you. Thank you
