That's true But I'm talking about people being able to set up ISP's and provide internet connection without relying on the state to coordinate with other existing ISP's

On the furniture?! 😭

😐

Bruh how the fuck do you walk around your house with your shoes on I can never understand 😭

One of the many things I do not miss about Twitter: 'Ratios' 😐

Also:

You're racist if you don't see colour You're also racist is you see colour Is that what it's like?

I love the idea of freedom tech. But why don't people who advocate for it also advocate for removing government involvement in spectrum allocation and telecom licensing and regulation? Surely, a 'free' internet wouldn't involve getting permission from a bunch of bureaucrats to access. (Free as in freedom, not free beer.) Seems to me that the most critical layers of the internet stack all over the world is run by various crony-bureaucrat alliances, rather than sound free market principles like property rights, contractual exchanges and homesteading.

Yeah, pub-priv parterships are just cronyism with a garb of 'intellectual nuance and balance'. Fully private internet with no state involvement is the way. Internet bans are way too common around the world. A legal system with strong and well-defined property rights is necessary for a truly free internet (and a truly free society) Without it, we're heading towards an Orwellian world of chaotic tyranny.

😂 Cheeky Rothbard quote from Ethics of Liberty: "Furthermore, all the various forms of statism have now been tried, and have failed. At the turn of the twentieth century, businessmen, politicians, and intellectuals throughout the Western world began to turn to a “new” system of mixed economy of State rule, to replace the relative laissez faire of the previous century. Such new and seemingly exciting panaceas as socialism, the corporate state, the Welfare-Warfare State, etc., have all been tried and have manifestly failed. The call for socialism or state planning is now a call for an old, tired, and failed system. What is there left to try but freedom?"

I'm not at all mad about stereotypes as well As an Indian, if I have to be extra hygienic, extra honest, extra articulate, and extra gentlemanly and decent to not be called a stinking scamming street shitter with a terrible accent who hits on anything that moves, I'm not complaining Just pushes me to be an even better person overall, because I know that I don't fit the description of the sterotype and I'm not responsible for the actions of those who look and speak like me

Apparently, Price controls, interest rate controls, taking of property in the name of public good, progressively stealing and redisributing more and more of people's income, consistent increases in money supply, fleecing of people's savings, monopoly-causing regulation of businesses, trade barriers in importing and exporting, restrictions on natural rights or complete outlawry of them, imprisoning those who resist theft and aggression, funding mass murder and displacement of innocent people living thousands of miles away, are all fine, as long as they are forced down the throats of people by leaders who win popularity contests, using a group of people who didn't win anything as instruments to execute these policies, citing the written laws which these popularity contest winners can change much as they like as the legal basis for these actions, which are promptly upheld by scrutinizers who are paid by those whose actions they are scrutinising.

Bitchat has surpassed Signal in the Top Free Apps list ranking under the social networking category on Apple app store. It's going have Nostr integrated into it very soon. Have a great day!

To make the 'transition plan' that I just responded to you with possible, the following list has laws that need to be relooked at or preferably scrapped. It is an AI-generated list I made a while ago so there might be errors. And it will probably not cover all of the laws that require scrutiny. But it's a good start. Here it is:

Exactly! The extent to which a company is 'Sats flow positive' is the most important performance metric. This is likely where we are headed.

Like internet bans are always enforced at the ISP level because failure to comply will likely get their licenses revoked Spectrum is usually leased rather than owned so there's no property right based ownership, meaning allocated spectrum can be taken away without much difficulty If we can't be censorship resistant at this level, then nothing on top of it is truly censorship-resistant

I love Chappelle. I think he's one of the GOATs. Chappelle's show isn't very relatable to me, but I love this episode: https://youtu.be/9DLuALBnolM
