I am a decentralisation maxi. As with most freedoms, it's not regulation that the space needs, it is for participants to have more than 2 braincells to rub together. We could try investing more in education, instead of letting some billionaire fraud defund it.

The best answers are still on Stack Overflow

@YourFriendAndy agree, always ask what's better for them if have cash on me.

Agree or disagree???

@LinkedInLunat1c What's really sad is the kid just intuitively handed over all his personal info for something trivial, where he was, where he'd been, what he had, what he was doing. The map of the kids life will be so detailed before ever having a chance to understand what opting in/out means.

definitely needed AI to find that binder

@TheFIREorg and that's why they need keep us divided over made up nonsense. Because we agree on most of the important things that impact our every day freedoms.

New data from FIRE finds that Americans agree more than they realize on who should oversee social media use by children. 69% of Americans say parents — not social media companies or the government —should be trusted with that responsibility.

@ITd00d @EP_EPRS @EP_Justice @zarzalejosj @MarinaKaljurand Australia/Japan/Utah aren't in the EU, all pushing similar. Think we can't get hung up on locations of initial implementations, when seems clearly a global initiative. Just easier to push it through this way with less focused collective resistance at each stage.

@EP_EPRS @EP_Justice @zarzalejosj @MarinaKaljurand Thank God I don't live in Europe and have to deal with this bullshit.

Virtual private networks #VPN are increasingly used to bypass online age verification. Protecting children online is a priority, with new rules being implemented requiring a minimum age for access to some services Read👉 link.europa.eu/FGfr6C #DSA @EP_Justice @FZarzalejos

@moshhamedani both can very much be true at once

CEO of Coinbase bragging that non-technical people are now using AI to ship production code. When a CEO says this, one of two things is true: either they don't know what production code is, or they're selling you a story. This kind of hype is how businesses end up in real trouble. The people shipping the code and the CEOs cheering them on won't be the ones held responsible when it breaks. They collect their paycheck either way. Users will find out the hard way, once unreviewed code has touched their money, medical records, identities, private messages, kids' data, legal documents, critical infrastructure. By then it's too late. Production code isn't a vibe.

You build a VPN tunnel so your location is nobody's business. As of yesterday in Utah, your location is the platform's business by law, regardless of the tunnel. The bill is Senate Bill 73. Governor Cox signed it on March 19. It took effect May 6. The law effectively bans the VPN by making the website liable for the age of every user physically located in Utah, regardless of the tunnel they routed through, and then forbids the website from explaining how a VPN works. This is liability for what the platform cannot see. A speech ban on naming a legal tool. The only compliant move is to ID every visitor on Earth, in case one of them happens to be in Provo. Or block every known VPN IP address and pray the list is complete. NordVPN says comprehensive blocking of VPN traffic is technically impossible. The EFF says no platform can win this whack-a-mole. Utah's legislature does not care, because compliance was never the point. The point was making encrypted tunnels expensive to deploy and illegal to discuss. The point was driving commercial VPN providers out of the American market until the only people left with private connections are the ones who can stand up their own WireGuard server. Children is the cover, of course. A legislature punished platforms for what they cannot detect, gagged them from naming a tool that has been legal since the day it was invented, and stamped "child safety" on the file. This is the first state. The UK House of Lords already voted 207 to 159 to ban VPNs for minors. France's digital affairs minister has named VPNs as her next target. The fence moves next session, next state, next chamber. Each version will be sold as safety. Each version will be a muzzle.

PAAS looking weak into close, unless miners suddenly step up, lean towards higher probability of seeing CVD divergence on double top into Asia session. Plan to short on spike up & close below if see it's only retail buying, else sit out for the night after good sesh.

@TheMG3D this felt wrong, like when they use an artists music in a commercial for something the artist would have never promoted. But I don't hate on the person making it, if they really felt inspired to try "something", ideally they are coming up with original ideas while experimenting.

The reason why the Take On Me music video is so famous is because it was created by real artists using a technique called rotoscoping. They drew over 3,000 frames and it took 16 weeks

should probably start a gofundme for their legal defense, from now.

@icanvardar I can tell you when you're wrong without sugar coating or blowing smoke

prove me you're not an ai

@brane_trix Ey, that is one benefit to the character limit, having to think up a single word to replace the original waffle that was there. It somewhat goes back to the original post and potential value in refinement. Much love.

@0xMaka “Comms are an art so dependent on the gallery” That’s a bar Maka.

I can’t figure out how to get critique on my writing, specifically AI critique, without losing my voice. I’m also overall way too passive and hedge A LOT in my writing so maybe I need to go with my intuition to fix the flaws. My voice doesn’t have to mean everything that comes out. My edits are also my voice.

For NY session and extended Silver targets $85-$89, would consider potential entries: if on pull back @ $77.50ish (.5 fib), else on push up @ $80.40. Latter would need support of strong PAAS & another high on CVD. Former would be a new trade, as no change to the current stops.

@brane_trix Ye comes with down sides.. so to the contrary. Has to be finding a balance that can work for us. Agree with thinking on page, find pen/paper better for that than tablet/keyboard. Comms are an art so dependant on the galary, tho similarly a balance & as with anything, practice.

@0xMaka Yeah I’ve heard that too but it also means you never improve the writing. I got into the habit of thinking on the page which is great for me but tiring for communication.

@aldebaran1188 @MastrXYZ lol amen brother🤝

@0xMaka @MastrXYZ Appreciate being alone a lot, too. Doesn’t make us bad people, the contrary. It’s a form of personal and psychological hygiene I would fight nail and teeth for. Better than splitting skulls due to overstimulated senses 😂

Question for everyone, especially the younger people here: Do you have real, good friends? in REAL life? Or do you often feel lonely in real life? I just read a few articles saying that the younger generation feels more lonely and friendless than almost any generation before. My honest advice and maybe I`m wrong: live more in the real world and forget the online world from time to time. Influencers, timelines, likes and online attention are not real life. Real friendships are not found and maintained online. They are built together in real life. Outside, inside, wherever. But not inside a chat, not only inside social media, and not inside an algorithm pretending to be human connection.

Elon wants you broke, buying dog (sh-) doge. That's why he never shows you all my God tier posts.

Google nearing similar trigger @ 405, to silver this morning. Again, would watch CVD to avoid buying into tops. But if see liquidity pulled and market buys backed up rather than absorbed, could see high velocity push.

As we are approaching $82, we'll scale down to 50% position size now, stops are: 25% trailing @ 80.90 and 25% fixed @ 80.05. Good trade.

Silver just hit $81, to be on the safe side we'll scale out a small portion between here and $82, in case we 50% fill that daily wick and roll over.
