Remember this when they tell you 'the social media ban had wide support'.
If you did the survey, and didn't like the plan, you literally could not say so.
Gaslighting in broad daylight.
You cannot loathe these people enough.
Soon nobody reads my reviews. A machine does.
It picks which plumber you hire… but it can’t tell the job I actually did from a fake written in ten seconds.
We’re about to automate the trust problem instead of fixing it.
Unless the data can prove where it came from.
Nostr isn't a decentralised Twitter. It's a protocol… a way to publish and verify information you own and control. What you publish is cryptographically signed. It's verifiably yours.
Social media is one use case… the more interesting ones haven't been built yet.
Every tradesman has a story about the job they shouldn't have taken.
The one where the gut said no.
The client had already looked you up… reviews, accreditations, the lot. They had data.
You had nothing. Just instinct.
We accept this… But should we?
A personal note. After years of public discussion/work: the podcast, social media, venture capital, everything — I'm stepping back to focus on my family.
My kids are growing fast. My wife deserves the best of me. To everyone who listened, read, grew, and built alongside me — thank you. What a blessing you all have been!
The pound has lost 69% of its purchasing power since 2000.
A loaf of bread that cost 50p now costs £1.40.
A pint that cost £2 now costs £6.
A house that cost £80,000 now costs £280,000.
Your wages did not keep up.
Nothing you did caused this.
They printed. You paid.
And they are about to do it again.
You and your children will work harder for less forever to pay back decades of government incompetence.

This sounds brilliant. Not an Apple user (as I hate walled gardens in the first place) but keen to hear from anyone who is, and is able to follow this flow, to tell the Online Safety Act tyrants GFY.
'Unhosted wallets will not be permissible in the UK', says Sarah Breeden of the @bankofengland.
It's likely time to recall one of the very best pieces of writing on the subject from the much-missed Gigi. Are you prepared to outlaw thought itself, Sarah?
@BCelticbra94326@RupertLowe10 Look, I get your point. Perhaps it’s another 4-5 years of the authoritarian regime needed to get the people to wake up! Granted, many risks attached to that.
I think we need to remain objective, see how the next year pans out….. a lot might change in that time
@BCelticbra94326@RupertLowe10 If you’re referring to Restore aligning with Reform, then you are missing the whole point of Restore. Rupert’s party only exists because Nigel hoodwinked people to believe he is about change…. He’s not, he’s the same system, different flavour
@DaveKent101@DonnaLouise1212 You won’t get what you think you will get Dave. We need a system change, and the closest we will get to that as it currently stands is Restore. Unfortunately voting Reform is just a different flavour of what we have today….. it really is
