Meme about "Structural Threats'

Symbolizes each level being held at gun point with terms & conditions / structured force... and basically conditions / hierachy or control points purely for surviving in a bad game.

TWITTER NEWS 2021 - CEO CHANGE

JACK DORSEY (meanwhile to PARAG AGRAWAL CTO (maybe to ELON MUSK in 202X?)

Jack Dorsey Leaving Twitter to Work Full Time on Bitcoin

And some good commentary about at least working towards freedom (not helping censorship)... like YouTube also

Shows tweets shown from
-Nic Carter and Glenn Greenwald (Edward Snowden leaks),

Mentions then-President Trump being booted off Twitter! Not the president surely!

Generally good comments from this episode, really if you don't like Bitcoin makes sense as it largely doesn't need you to like Bitcoin, just see the Banks etc as not making sense and Bad!

AWARENESS

SOFTWARE DEVELOPERS
- A WARNING

Short Version:

Financial regulation can change what you do in your job (example implementing; digital back-doors / KYC / kill-switches etc into software or almost anything)...
and this is evident in efforts again Bitcoin and other competition to the mainstream...

You're jobs can be changed to help work towards evil. Legal changes etc are all happening to be more precise slowly but surely.

The force behind this and what effects everything is the Central Bank wanting to force their own Digital Currencies. (monetary demons / parasites).

Changing the future of money changes *many* other things- perhaps everything.

AUDIO AND THIS TEXT might take a bit of time to sink it- leave it open and play it again.
_______________________________
Long Version

As usual any job can be used against you as it pays your bills so in many ways they (gov / banks) can change the standards / the rules / regulations by ask you to do things which end up working again the common good when people do whatever people say for money.

Implementing a standard backdoor or similar is what I'm getting at. It's going to be very real if standards are set by government for whatever xyz reason similar to the typical 'safety' reasons or 'preventing fraud'... etc

As a stark example people in war were making bomb parts and didn't know it, so if that's possible (similar to how codes can be put together) then you might not even know you implementing the components if you're part of something you don't see. So again compartmentalizing or making something a feature can seem good one day but then be together to be a weapon the next...

Anyway there is a pattern happening across all sectors - leaning towards people getting people in jobs to do what industry / gov wants - all backed by banks allowing wages to go through. You are also included in this pattern I mention and I give you an 'inevitable' factor when coming down the ladder of alignment and looking who can implement it the software developers stark going dark in order to get paid (live)

Rather than squash weeds a better return-on-investment is through jobs force you softly over, or all in one go, to do things different (and this we know is true from having jobs I think for any of us).

Although I'm not the most articulate I believe the pattern has long been happening and the COVID stuff accelerating it somewhat... going for people through their wallets, livelihood etc is the best tactic and always was. Eventually making it harder and harder not to do what they said or choose your ethics over your job until there might be no jobs left (I would advise you to fight to change your existing rather than leave and let a fresh developer step into the mess and expect them not to bend)

Developers are the way for government and that means you as a developer are being targeted same as the next tools and leverage to force change for them or trojan horse whatever it is they don't want unless they regulate it (alternate currencies are one example).

QUOTE - PRIVACY / INTERNET ONLINE

"Ignoring the good solutions in search of the perfect ones"

WHY THIS QUOTE?
This is interesting for me because sometimes IT DOES NEED TO BE PERFECT!

i.e. making a half solution is worse than waiting for something near-perfect (and in the is case really 90-100% privacy-perfect)

So while it makes sense to have in between sometimes you do have to solve things right first time otherwise wait!

Money Alternatives: Libre Currency Ğ1 – A Medium towards Freedom

- Audio Conversation as Introduction

freeschool.0id.org/money-alter

- Video explaining Libre Currency:

yewtu.be/watch?v=y1b7rppRkaI

----------------------------------
Comments / Experiences welcome
----------------------------------

CURRENCY ITSELF IS DEVALUING THE PEOPLE; their work, their morality and lives... 

Currency devalues the people's work to get them chained and constantly running on the treadmill to sty alive- People may not realise or even guess such a plot against them for control... but guess what people are realising it now!! Hooray!

Realising the whole setup of banks hand-in-hand with governments everywhere in the world is the same template! (and maybe one is more devaluing the others but all are devaluing their own people and then other people too if they can!)

Now (even with any negative thoughts about it) IS helping people in stopping devaluation and enabling less transaction fee costs (imagine whole countries lifting 4%-20% off their costs with outside world!)...

At least those in the poorest (which is also us but not realising it yet) already have hit bottom by trading with gov's, banks, credit card fees, % transaction costs (2.5% which maybe you don't pay but the restaurant owner does!
8% in countries like El Salvador!
Ouch...)

So watch this (480p recommended - sorry no Audio download but I might add it here)

bitcointv.com/w/odqquxBQLTBvr5

In general just watch from 3mins-12mins and then go to 22mins explaining costs and uses from different angles ( the reality, not just what your eyes see because credit cards make it seem like 'it's working' but people are shooting themselves in the foot!)

At 11 mins or before it's more about countries with devalued currency which is why I'm posting this and those countries already understand how it's working as IT IS A REALLY PROBLEM and is working great for them (tested from ned which we the west will also have to try similar else be cornered by governments telling us what we should do or they will freeze our bank accounts like in Australia RIGHT now!!!).

This is not a fan post. This is a mix of dispelling fiat currency, basic life balances and real problems with freedom of speech (imagine going to protest and then after bank card not working). Real dirty $hit.

VIDEO TIP - Do Not Use 1080p for this vid IT'S A MASSIVE 6Gb for 2hrs (so save the earth and don't use that)

I really recommend first from 3MINS (before is just a static screen) to 22mins with a saner resolution and stream of 480p...

Quotes + Video Summary... Financial War

"We need to bankrupt them. We need to make sure that they cannot pay their enforcers and cannot pay the bureaucrats."

----------------------------------
More quotes below + Video Info:
----------------------------------

"We need to internalise that democracy has failed. We will not vote our way out of this."

"Civil protesting and peaceful protesting does have some usefulness but as we have seen, the governments are willing to go all the way and crush us all as individuals. And I think as a society I think people are not willing to reciprocate in that respect."

"We need to bankrupt them. We need to make sure that they cannot pay their enforcers and cannot pay the bureaucrats."

"I think that we should be getting everybody that is involved in politics and that trying to make a change, an incremental change, to switch to the Bitcoin mindset"

"And I'm very happy that with the Truckers Movement - I hope we were able to send the message out to Freedom Fighters all over the world, Bitcoin is the only mechanism we have that is peaceful, so if you want to remain peaceful that is the only option"

- quotes by Francis Poulliot -

"We raised 25million dollars in 3 weeks... " (...that blew people's minds they could do that)

'FREE' people and inventions also have a responsibility to see who is abusing it and basically make provisions / conditions / choose more carefully. Block them from weaponizing

Weaponizing* everything is very real today.

* Weaponizing = the putting of parts / components / code together (much like mechanical parts) and making a gun at the end from those innocent components - the end result of the chain is bad.

So what to do about it?

To start
- Don't under-estimate how well chains are put together or swap things in and out
- Imaging more 'efficient' can mean more destructive / faster at doing the bad / inhuman things. If it exist and work, no need x10 speed every year.

Even with 'Free' stuff / software / service / etc consider them as Free weapons and tools for people to plugin into their own mentality - so it's worth checking even if if you think something new is just great because it's 'new'... Keep a lid on it if really it has 10% good use and x10 bad.

Ask: IS IT WORTH GIVING TO IDIOTS?

Asl: COULD I USE IT FOR NON-FREE WAYS EASILY WITHOUT THE SPIRIT OR GOOD-WILL OF FREE-SOFT OR FREEDOM.

Sound$ extreme but it's just like giving part$ to people who you know just make algorithm and monetise people instantly with this years new thing. It's already happening. etc... <--- I don't have list I admit and often I think 'everything is applied to'

Considering top 500 companies (enemies) run on free software and pay near-0 for it as side-insult and don't even care then I think there is ALWAYS a time in history to re-assess adding any more for them or specifically releasing things for us (not U$)

To use it for money should be stipulated conditionally NO or WITH PERMISSION ONLY THEN YOU CAN ALSO GIVE ME A CUT!

Not-for-profit also needs to skill-up and pre-defend things so we don't the shock face after- "oh guess what they did now- I don't believe it!".

Ok so far but from here consider all is just to make massive wrong in the wrong ways...


,

Make big companies PAY for FOSS that is not free for big companies!!! Lawyers UNITE!...

Business Opportunity for Free Software Lawyers:

- Get money from big companies
- Make liable existing people using FOSS without paying
- Rinse and repeat

Legally force companies using libraries without paying for FOSS... to pay!

WHY?
FOSS libraries used by big companies are now not paid for (near 0 more than paid).
Source code used by big companies are not paid for (near 0?).

Lawyers / FSF people -----> make them accountable

Money-maker for FOSS.

Ma$$ive companies use FOSS and don't pay... enforcing this and making sure they respect terms of download helps the cause out of it's paradox and systemic rape.

If they do not cheat, we will grow (and also not cheat ourselves).
The challenges of 'Free' when companies are making M@$$ PΒ£0F1T$

Free Software needs to draw a line when it's not free AND enforce it same as they do).

See video where it's OK for individuals BUT NOT OK FOR COMPANIES WHO NEED TO PAY AND STATISTICALLY DON'T !

If you can help me re-write this better and link more lawyers let me know.
, = Not

Free is abused? Feeding corporations to make more profit... AND then not paying developers?...

How does that work for you / us?...

Feeding corporations AND not even paying the developers / individuals?
Corporations who use those under them to prop them up?
Seems like a bit of bum deal even without hating I don't get how it works more than what we have already and could stick to more than create new monsters...

I think that's a limitation of FOSS / Open Source though I guess I'm saying also how good corporations are at abusing it at the same time (as well as saying we might know better than to give it to them just like that in a bad process... if you agree).

Clever people also probably have a hard time not doing things the like doing and end up still doing things even when they make little sense (for who it's for or if there is little money in it) and simply can't even keep a lid on it if they see their work being abused if they tried!).

That's where I think we could say we have enough people doing as we have had plenty and look what people did (suck us dry and still expect more)...

It's probably time naturally from seeing diminishing returns / lack of improvement in this to switch areas of us 'digging' there and look at what we're doing and for who... and do something else or more people orientated.

At some point any game is 'enough is enough' and seeing it flanked constantly and used against us by corporations means just leaving them to that game as we can't win (lack of resources, banks yadayadayada) and at least give it a rest for while unless you are actually think you changing people's mentality here (not just releasing tech for corporations to pick up on, patent, remix, repackage etc).
This is why I value GNU as it has at least a kind of philosophy, legal aspect and many more things connected towards a humanitarian endpoint in it's usage (even if that is also abused and maybe is similar to everything else hmm)

I don't want to stop people dead in their tracks or try to show all progress as being bad... but well it is actually possible that is the case.
In bad hands well, you can imagine all goes wrong... so ask if corporations and governments are doing well scandal after scandal... and paying the right people?
Fuck it don't make me any more free stuff! Just don't give them ammunition please!
So without too much emotion I think that's the case and video supports that.

"OK WHAT'S YOUR ANSWER"
I don't claim 1 answer other than fixing / changing people's mentality on how they do things / use it and even the problems working together to develop it... (such as money, person stuff that blows up projects etc)

So more on that only if you ask. Just enough is enough for now,

Computers and code being faster than people BEAT people in many ways (even if you didn't use you plugin that way).
That the main message that currently it's not working out too well considering opposition feeding from us (you, me, them) and not giving a shit apart from profits. The average person DOESN'T UNDERSTAND the shit you do and obviously losing out to the speed and code versus understanding and technology wins (it's your fault AND there's but more your fault if you are more clever in seeing other people are stupid to stop giving average people and corporations hammers to play with!!)... so please help by thinking about that and consider that less is actively doing something to solve that (it is the solution while doing a bit more other stuff) as way of not letting it get out of hand and actually working on the humans that use these things more than great code that gets plugged into guns.
Hard to see but technology as a mechanism is exactly like a gun (or long lines of codes together able to execute as click of a button or flick of a switch).

Video confirms some of this.
I can't ignore all that for people playing games more than humanitarian type stuff. It does come back to that and choosing which to invest and bottle time into is important and also a risk / gamble.
