Been online for a long time, luckily I don't think it's terminal...

I advocate for a shift away from services from large advertising companies—like Google, Meta, Reddit, and X—that operate under a false pretense.

The open internet is a threat to their business model and a bulwark against authoritarianism.

The difference between Trump and Hitler is this:

Hitler lost because he waged war on two fronts, while Trump will lose because he is waging war with Venezuela, Colombia, Greenland, and Iran, while conducting a trade war with 90 countries including all US allies, while trying to oppress Mexico and Canada, AND starting a civil war with his own people.

The EU will launch the digital euro as a 100% European digital payments system to replace reliance on Visa, Mastercard, and Apple and Google Pay, with the European Central Bank issuing a digital form of cash. It will be built entirely in Europe, have zero transaction fees, instant payments, and strong privacy, giving the EU full control over its payments infrastructure.

Digital euro: what it is and how we will use the new form of cash

It’s January 1, 2029, the first day of the digital euro. You are in a shop buying milk and bread, and decide to pay with this new money. How exactly will it work?

In 1991, a uni student from Finland started a "hobby" project because he couldn't afford to pay expensive Unix license that could run on a commodity hardware. At the time, he told on the mailing list that his project wouldn't be anything "big or professional."

It turned out that he was totally wrong.

Spoiler: Republicans—both in Washington and Canada’s Conservative opposition—are doing the oldest trick in politics: projection. Shouting ‘foreign interference’ while skirting their own Russia questions

A key reason Trump will fail is his lack of patience.

Adolf Hitler spent a decade carefully building a movement, grooming people into his belief systems.

Putin has spent 25 years, slowly letting his dark ink of corruption spread throughout the nation.

Trump thinks he can build an army of mercenaries in 6 months and crown himself as king before Christmas.

It will be too late when he finally realises, fascism does not work that way.

legal insider trading is why trump and the criminals he surrounds himself with love crypto.
