Tell Gemini to go fuck themselves. This is a humiliation ritual.
This has to be bait since you posted it to a website that is inhabited by 20 buddies from the internet.
I'd go skateboarding.
"But Kruw, you can go skateboarding in 2025"
I know, but there was a style and culture around it back then. Participating in something while its popularity is at its peak isn't an experience that can be imitated.
I love obscure libertarian podcasts, most of the ones I used to listen to are discontinued now. Timeline Earth is one that hooked me a long time ago.
VR technology is underwhelming because your vision is the only sense affected by the illusion. Specialized environments like golf simulators or flying/driving simulators help, but drive the cost up and availability down.
I have a particular distaste for bicycles:
- Too slow for crowded roadways
- Too unwieldy for crowded sidewalks
- Can't transport passengers or cargo
- Inefficient compared to other forms of exercise
- Unsafe compared to other forms of transportation
- Vulnerable to weather conditions
Faking your product's reviews, trade volume, social media likes, etc is a shitty tactic in my opinion.
The winning combination is Nostr + SN:
Nostr has censorship resistance and no trending posts, so you hear everything from the exact people you intend to hear things from. SN leans into letting the algorithm find content for you, and users feed the algo with sats.
My only issue with SN is that there are way too many territories to post in.
Why would you go through all this effort just to get fake privacy?... You can just use Wasabi Wallet, connect your Jade, then participate in a real coinjoin that transfers your funds into cold storage.
Humbled to see Wasabi Wallet mentioned :)
Also, here's the video link without the metadata tracker on the end - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-Acfj4SO6g
Samourai's client would collect user xpub addresses and IP addresses by default - https://web.archive.org/web/20230417145554/https://code.samourai.io/wallet/samourai-wallet-android/-/issues/458
Ashigaru says their mobile client is Tor only and requires running your own node - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5509931.0
However, this Sparrow fork doesn't enforce the node - "The default mainnet public Electrum servers that are connected to on startup are .onion URLs to preserve user privacy."
Another example: if you used a specific coordinator to do coinjoins, you might think your anonymity set is all coinjoins arranged by that coordinator. However, if the legal names of the people who run the coordinator are known and they happen to keep logs of the coordinator at their place of business or residence, it might not be that difficult for an attacker to raid them and seize such logs. In which case your anonymity set is significantly less than you thought.
Clients are designed not to share any data with coinjoin coordinators. However, an operator could keep logs of metadata (timing of registrations/deregistrations), which is why you should avoid failing too many rounds.
