Omg. So powerful and poignant.

I won't be awake at that time :). It would be great if someone could provide an update on encryption legal cases in Europe/Switzerland. I know several countries in Europe would like to undermine encryption. Which way is the wind blowing?

This is totally needed and one would think it's totally doable. Ignore the naysayers.

It finally pushed me over the edge to cancel my Amazon account entirely.

I'm kind of surprised she didn't come back harder. Even if she got fired she'll be fine and she'd be legendary.

A neighbor and I are just seeing if Bluesky could work to track inventory in the boxes

It means both Israel and Russia have some of the proof. Quite a venn diagram coming into clarity on why the world is so twisted. I think it all comes back to Epstein, elites depraved and all compromised. A network of self-protective complicity.

They all have that face. Even their resting face, it's not just unfair choices by a photo editor. That grimace that says 'how in the f--k do I spin this?'

Fight, but don't just fight. Help people believe in the future again. That is something everyone can do, now.

And don't overlook the secret superpower that is the arts. If you doubt that power, imagine living behind the Iron Curtain and hearing the Beatles or John Coltrane. Hope can come from beyond the visible horizon.

But so is building community at the hyper-local level. If you have a platform to help save the world, power on. If you have an idea to save your neighborhood, that is also needed.

Don't be afraid to start where you are.

Here in the US, our government is coming for us, and our neighbors.

In Europe, Russia looms and creates insecurity.

In a world where the big powers are clearly trying to create spheres of influence, how those of us with a better vision of the future unify - across borders and geography - is key.

Oh, I did see one bit about how men should always pay for women

Thank you. Be the non-AI future we want.

I've generally found SG ok, what are any issues with him?

The crazy thing is the QAnon/Comet nutjobs were only a bit off.

Swiss-based, private, sustainable, ethical. It's the least you can do. If you try it and you're like 'but it doesn't do this or that as well' you are missing the point entirely.

Euria by Infomaniak Meet Euria, the sovereign AI that protects your privacy and uses its energy to heat homes.

Everyone can make their own decisions but for me these are not difficult choices and I'm not suffering in any way. BUT - if you must use AI, please consider this a ChatGPT alternative:

I admit I am anti-AI. As far as I care, you can shove it - all of it - you know where.

I have never used ChatGPT or any of them, though I'm sure I will at some point. I am a photographer and musician, I have never used AI for that and never will.

True for a lot of people. Problem is they say 'I need Google for work' then use it for personal too out of inertia.

Looks great. Not to focus on the technical but where/how did you print them?

Had it too. Agree.

Will they stop using Amazon? There really isn't a European option at the moment is there? Maybe a militant shop-local movement instead?
