Thanks for playing. https://image.nostr.build/410ea36be8bf06cb3fddecf58f111b641a6ff973a3891fec43e86c9f35f89850.jpg

I have just removed all my data from iCloud.
I now OWN my data. In encrypted files with their back-up.
Less renting, more owning.
It feels empowering yet terrifying.

Beautifully put. I am aware too that phones are insecure or, at least, not as secure as computers. I am planning on buying deGoogled phone when the current one dies and install Graphene on it, which may be an improvement from iOS.

I have just learnt that If you use Session on an iOS phone, Apple might store information about how you use the app using the telemetry features which are built into its operating system.
They can record when the app is closed, opened, how long you use it for, crash logs, and your device model. This doesn’t sound too bad.
However, this usage information could also be linked with your Apple ID 🤯
Apparently, this is a limitation of mobile operating systems, and applies to all apps used on the device, no just to Session.
I am aware that to obtain privacy and security, most often than not you have to compromise on convenience.
I am currently evaluating my threat model and lifestyle to establish whether this is right for me at this time.

None of my trusted crypto muslim brothers talking about Metamask. Wat means?
Only two trusted accounts speak about it. They are American, not sure if that has anything to do with it.
I will hold for now.

It is surprising to me that brother Shahid K. Bolsen is not being targeted with censorship and violence threats after all the fire that he is spitting.
May Allah protect him.

I got my dad, the hardest person to persuade, to use Session.
He is currently pitching it to my mum. Next in line: my brother.
One step at a time.

In terms of video sharing options you have Peertube and Odysee, although adoption is much lower than Rumble I believe.

Thoughts on increasing the adoption of Bitcoin:
In my opinion, the way forward with people, especially beginners, it is humbleness, patience, and empathy.
Statements like “have fun staying poor”, “DYOR” (only when it comes from a position of arrogance), “enjoy zee bugs”, and the likes, may have the opposite effect of the intended one.
Bitcoin can be daunting and in most cases, even for technical people, it presents a steep learning curve. Not all people are created equal and fair and genuine questions don’t always mean people are looking for handouts or handholding.
Before I started stacking sats, I had read blogs, listened to podcasts, and read a few books recommended in this space. After months, I had not learnt yet where or how to buy Bitcoin from any of them.
In addition, the little I thought I may knew in that regard was confronted with other information I had heard or read, which made me had doubts of my own knowledge. And I was also scared of asking certain questions to answer those doubts for fear of the responses.
Some people are more risk averse than others, some are more intelligent than others, some more resourceful and capable than others. Questions not always imply someone is lazy, has not done some sort of due dilligence, etc.
Even if that was the case, I would rather help and guide someone if that meant he or she would adopt Bitcoin. The more people adopt it, the more we all win.
By no means I am implying the Bitcoin community is unhelpful or arrogant. Rather far from that. I am only expressing an opinion about some statements. There are nuances, there may be different opinions.
You may agree or disagree and debate is welcome and healthy.
On a final note, I always encourage people to take ownership of their actions and decisions. Islam teaches us radical responsibility for one’s own actions and decisions.

Do you know the company Frame.Work? I think they also sell parts for their computers and the choice is more narrow!

This is scary to say the least; especially when the dictates around speech are so ill conceived and ambiguous.
Anything you say can be used against you.
I am not a pessimistic or the person that always puts himself in the worst case scenario, but this had me thinking and prevention is better than cure.
It looks like there is no “overcautious” in this time and age.

The UK is in an absolute state. I am not saying this from a bashing perspective about a nation that welcomed me and has given me so much. Rather, from a saddened and frustrated one.
NHS, infrastructure, and society are crum-bling. Country is being taken in all spheres over by increasingly educated, increasingly wealthy, more dynamic and energetic individuals from different countries, especially Asia and particularly global south countries including Middle East and Far East Asia.

My approach to health and longevity:
- “I heard that so and so started drinking seaweed juice and improved his health”
+ “what does it taste like?”
Vs.
+ “what other drinks are good for your body and why?”
1. If you want it to taste or taste pleasant go eat cookies.
2. Willing to drink battery acid if it works
The second one is my approach.

Reaching out to the experts 📢🚨
I am trying to install Linux Mint 21.3 in my Windows laptop. I have followed the installation steps, but I am stuck at the integrity check.
I have downloaded the correct sha256sum.txt and sha256sum.txt.gpg, from Mint’s Heanet Download Mirror and from two different download mirrors (one from the USA and one from the UK).
When I generate their SHA256 sum and compare it with the sum present in sha256sum.txt. results don’t match. Like I said, I have downloaded the ISO images multiple times, from different download mirrors, and these don’t match.
Obviously I have not continued with the installation process, but I don’t know what I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I use this calculator: https://calc.mendrulandia.es/. Note that you can change the language settings.
It tells you a prediction of cleanliness, conditioning, bubbles, persistence, hardness, solubility, drying, etc., based on the ingredients and quantities that you have used.

What ingredients have you put into it and what are the ratios? I leave mine to dry for at least two weeks. I make them with olive oil and caustic soda only. Sometimes coconut oil instead of olive oil.

Extremely digestible and fun to read for absolute newbies like me.
I feel like, for pre-coiners, bitcoin can be a daunting topic that can be easily ignored and put aside for later due to the “novelty”, complexity (?)), etc.
This book is great for giving you context and overall knowledge about bitcoin, so that you can understand what is going on next time you read that note, blog post, etc.
Thank you very much for writing the book in a way that has made me enthusiastic about the topic and eager to learn all about it. #note1spf…duss
