Carson accepts a ’ state-capitalist’ formulation and even tries talking it up before lapsing back into his clueless nocoiner abyss. https://anarchistnews.org/content/review-operating-system-eric-laursen Cryptoanarchism consciously works for a post-state-capitalist society. Has done for over 20 fucking years.

Jack Dorsey needs killing ( My 20 sats )
by professor rat 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

This morning around 3am, Alessandro Paluzzi, a frequent tech leaker, leaked an image ostensibly from Twitter that would add a Bitcoin option to existing nascent tips feature. Here’s everything it says, “Receive tips in Bitcoin. Bitcoin is the world’s first widely adopted cryptocurrency. It’s a new kind of digital money that lets people securely and directly send money to each other on the internet. What is the Lightning Network? The Lightning Network is a technical innovation that allows for faster payments with lower fees than Bitcoin’s primary network. Set up your wallet. We use Stripe to generate Bitcoin lightning invoices, so you’ll need to connect your account to accept Bitcoin tips. Secure cryptography, bitcoin is built on a secure technology called the blockchain. It works on a distributed network and uses the same level of security that banks in the military use to encrypt their systems.” https://www.coindesk.com/podcasts/the-breakdown-with-nlw/bitcoin-payments-c…

Tor Stinks: TorrentFreak: Movie Companies Want VPNs to Log User Data and Disconnect Pirates

China etc also owning more of Hollywood. Stupid pirate scene hasn't evolved much since days of FTP... some crews are still using it, lol. They advanced to decrypt Blu-Ray and DVD, screencap, etc... but still hardly taking distribution seriously. All they, and all other data distributors and users in general... news, books, code, video conversations, etc... need to do is use tor+onioncat+bittorrent and the entire planet full of all those needing to distribute all sorts of data securely anonymously (to a certain level of tradeoff, as is everything in security) will benefit from the anonymous availablity. Including totally and permanently avoiding and ending the Govt Statist Queens Patent License Granted etc copyright MAFIAA through futility once and for all, like it or not, it will happen. Unfortunately, Tor Project is fixated on disallowing its users any freedom to make their own tradeoff choices as to how to use and deploy its [formerly] flexible overlay software as such... with that Tor Project is destroying users ability to share freely as they see fit. That is quite bad for enabling of freedom, the very thing Tor Project claims to be about. The Tor Project is arbitrarily censoring its own protocols, revoking features, against the needs of its users, pontificating and claiming ultimate authority over "security" vs users right to make knowledgeable use case tradeoffs, and censoring users who make that case. Hypocrites. tor should be forked, and v2 onions maintained therein, until other mass distribution solutions are developed. Now you're left with things that don't speak or plugin to the very popular bittorrent... IPFS, I2P, etc. That's fine, newer is fine and the future, and both TPO and tor will rightly be deprecated therein, but the full next gen future isn't here yet, nor is a diversity of well scoped newer operational protocols to choose from.

[ot][spam][wrong] karl's attempt to go outdoors or change his name
by Karl 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

I'm currently sitting in an area outdoors with mosquitos. I don't know how to stay outdoors reliably without either (a) a break from the mosquitos or (b) willpower to influence my psychological and behavioral histamine response. If I light a fire or candles that are smoky enough, the mosquitos will go away. I'm not sure how to do that at this time. They are also less prevalent in sunny, windy, or dry areas. But they can still be around a little bit.

Airplane surveiling a person
by jim bell 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

"FBI Spy Planes Monitored a Single Suspect for Nearly 429 Hours" here: https://share.smartnews.com/v4Yvw "The FBI’s secretive spy plane program targeted a man in Florida last year with nearly constant surveillance, logging more than 400 hours in the air with a fleet of Cessna aircraft registered to what appear to be front companies." "This aerial surveillance, described in a filing made Monday in federal court, reveals for the first time the FBI’s enormous capacity to target a single individual inside the United States for prolonged monitoring using aircraft. The fleet of FBI planes, often small aircraft, are outfitted with high-tech video cameras and tracking devices known as “cell-site simulators” that trick mobile phones into connecting to the FBI’s device rather than to a legitimate cellphone tower."
