Gary, I think you are missing half of the equation. What you say is not wrong, but you have to look at it from the employees point of view. He ALSO gets more value out of his employment than he would on his own. That’s why the relationship stays in time, because it benefits both parties. Win-win.
You hint at it when you say “I think this is why many are OK with having their productive value extracted elsewhere, it negates concern or responsibility and if often met with praise or gratitude that cannot be found elsewhere.”, but you only see it with negative eyes, as if the employees stay out of fear. In many cases is the salary alone, other times is salary+security, or social recognition, or benefits, or whatever….the point is that both benefit, not just the employer.

@npub1qds…gfw3 many thanks for your work. Github jumped from 0.1.2 to release 1.96.4:0. Is this normal? Apologies if it is a retarded question, I am a noob to Github

Get a Kobo. Download only epub formats into Calibre in your PC, and sync with the Kobo with a cable. Your books are yours forever, and Calibre is a n excellent way of organize them.
Don't touch Amazon. Their proprietary format is almost impossible to convert into epub. They want you slaved into their garden.

Ruby I’m not a dev and GrapheneOS could not be easier. So easy, in fact, that the first time I thought I had done something wrong. Still have this iPhone for work, but the real deal is on GOS. Try it.

Do you have a guide to start with Wasabi? I see many webpages but im afraid of falling into a kind of BCH vs BTC....

Sai, your heart is in the right place. Unfortunately your economic theory is not. Who gets to decide who are "legitimate billionaires"? You? Because that's an impossible task by definition. Each person has a set of values that will affect the decision.
Is Bezos a cantillonaire? Not by my definition, he has recreated the world's commerce and deserves his riches. But I've read that many of his warehouse employees need coupons to make ends meet. Unfair in any book.
The only solution: take the money printer away from politicians, and cantillonaires will go away. BTC doesn't fix it all, but does fix this.

Tried them all:
-Umbrel: quickly dropped because I read several articles where it was not as secure as others, for BTC this is important
-raspiblitz can't remember why stopped, could have been HW issues
-RoninDojo awesome whilst Whirpool worked, robust. BTC only, very focused. Will come back to it soon.
-Start9 is awesome, as soon as clear net is out of testing will become my main server.
-Mynode is the underdog. Has been running for years without looking after it. Poor thing only gets a click now and then for updates, unloved in the corner, but keeps doing its job year after year on a basic RPi4 8gb
I would say go for Mynode if BTC only and want easy interface. Ronin for a punk style, and Start9 for BTC and general self hosting of photos files etc.

I think you forgot the shadowy supercoders....I'm grateful to all of them because without them we wouldn't have anything.

You are being disingenuous. No student will make a better movie, because a movie is a plot, but also the work of thousands of people and hundreds of millions of dollars. No student has that, no matter how good are his ideas.
Why would anyone risk millions if everyone can watch it for free?
Also, there would be no R&D if people (companies are just that) didn't risk millions or billions. No new drugs, as manufacturing them has a negligible cost. No new robots, no new software nor new vehicles....don't get me started on aeroplane development costs....
I don't know about art, but in every other realm, people that say "copying is not theft are either lying or don't understand basic economics.

Not sure it if is "wrong" but I dont lie when they ask about Bitcoin. After that, it us just a matter of time....the don't like competition!

Wellcome to the club! I'm on my sixth or seventh time debanked, you get used to it.
Open a new bank account and as soon as you do, start opening the next, because it will happen again.

None of the two are acceptable. You are lucky that have a Pixel. Stick GrapheneOS on it and you have one of the most private systems possible. Then learn how to use that apps and download them in a privacy conscious way.

Because more privacy collides with auditability. BTC has prioritized the fact that everyone can check how many coins are minted at any given time. No airdrops, no printing out of thin air. That is more important that privacy, as important as privacy is. 21M and not one more.

Not only you can but you *should* if you care about your privacy. That way only your node knows which UTXOs you are interested in.
Sparrow makes it super easy. Set up a node in an old computer, I usually recommend Start9, RoninDojo or MyNode as easier than going purely Bitcoin Core, but if you DYOR you can go that route too.

When I did my research a year or so ago, umbrel was super easy to install, but less secure. To me that was a deal breaker for any BTC application.
I went with Start9 and I am super happy. Tor-only right now, which complicates things a little but I am not technical and can managei it so you can too. Super clear and detailed documentation helps a lot. And clearnet access is in testing already so will come soon. After testing on a RPi I got a Server Pure, all FOSS and very good quality.
And customer service second to none.
And no, I'm not related to them at all, just a happy camper.

I’m no expert but I run my own server with Start9. Dead easy, even I can do it. And the answer is yes to all you questions. Try it.
