I guess there are countries that use voting machines or similar, that can&#39;t be trusted to preserve anonymity, but the majority doesn&#39;t know that. It is probably a bigger factor when it comes to communicating with the people in power, although probably not huge there either (see last point).<br/><br/>The only part of the EU that can be directly replaced through voting is the parliament. The commission is another step removed (I don&#39;t quite remember how it works, from Wikipedia it seems like the parliament elects them). The Council seems to rotate between the governments of member countries on a 6 month interval, once again according to Wikipedia.<br/><br/>Often, working to counteract the bad stuff the EU is doing seems like trying to make gravel of a mountain using a pick axe. At the same time the EU is adding another hundred thousand tons of mountain per year. Very few people are capable of giving their best in time and resources to such a project. Now, if there were millions doing it, it might be another story, but:<br/><br/>At least here in Sweden where I live, there is almost complete silence on most of the bad things that the EU proposes in the media. I think I heard ChatControl 2 mentioned once on the radio, since its inception (by Swedish EU commissioner Ylva Johansson, add to that) and only a quick overview of what it is and of course that it is &#34;to protect the children&#34;. No mention of privacy, security, anything. I don&#39;t think people in general know a quarter of everything the EU is planning. And people in general also doesn&#39;t seem to be able to think even one step ahead, to what can be the consequences in the future. It also seems like most people either doesn&#39;t care, or, even those who complain, don&#39;t know that they can make a difference (probably partly due to previous point). 2024-12-28T00:55:05Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsxttswwzyuehsmxsgst524plw893urje4c4h6k37lsl8v0y07pn0szyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5jkumjgj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyv3e3neqhltv6nax536hae46z79crwas30spxya0qwsdanaljurc9ap8s7'>nevent1q…p8s7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>A French Dutch oven in the US (, I assume,) in which you could cook Turkey to serve on China when you&#39;re Hung(a)ry... 2024-12-28T00:09:10Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs2jvuzrenqr4ramhvhj4zmd424kxxtjutrk8nzdqfkehdqdc5pylszyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5je4g00c In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrjv3s7eu569rgjqru5gk3xj6vgh4vvd2dekkvzfnmukew7nxvhzqmm7t00'>nevent1q…7t00</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Did someone say &#34;overreach&#34; and &#34;rubber paragraphs&#34;?

The only way to keep any kind of freedom is to have an at least two-pronged approach - freedom technology, of course, but also what most people here don&#39;t like - forming associations, lobby groups, and things of the like, to push back. 2024-12-27T23:52:20Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs9aaz9yclrhzuwfwe3uspqtt5ll7vul2k22q4p4yxu6hfw6awgmfszyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5j4xgysv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2mmr8j830zuzfydjequmx4h994sw75jsymszr80q2qrrhz0990kgxcuq3p'>nevent1q…uq3p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sweden is among the worst in the world. Only about half of stores accept cash, and cash payments are only a few percent. Not sure if counted by number or by value. There is a movement, Kontantupproret, that is trying to get cash to remain, but its impact has not been huge so far, AFAIK. Strangely enough, though good for its image among average people, it&#39;s led by Björn Eriksson, a former director of the Swedish Coast Guard, the Swedish Customs Service, the Swedish police, and president of Interpol. 2024-12-24T01:39:10Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs9hnaaxzlpn7et90plz7mu3w59xtvj3z2j864rgkxejgxtychtsgqzyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5j9w4q3q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs273wj0m2yk7e3t3d26fp6fr56k972g6hayjx0qll03v7cjhu20fqn0k5tn'>nevent1q…k5tn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>They would need to have absorbed that information beforehand.

To take a rather extreme example, if you take this approach too far, especially confrontationally, to someone who is seriously depressed, you may very well be the straw that breaks the camels back, and they end up killing themself instead.<br/><br/>Regarding the article in question, there are plenty physical ailments that show up as fatigue etc. and are not helped by sleep, food and exercise, but should of course not just be masked by pills either.

This is one of the instances I&#39;m definitely not agreeing with the hardcore libertarians.

I recently read that about half of the stores here don&#39;t accept cash!<br/><br/>However, it needs to be more thought through. Many businesses stop accepting cash because they have trouble getting rid of it. A law was passed a few years ago saying that the banks must have some way of depositing cash, but unfortunately they only have machines that accept bills, not coins. (Most bank offices don&#39;t handle cash at all.)

And just the time it would take to vote on every button to push, every word to write, etc. would slow things down considerably.<br/><br/>The same goes for the people deciding.

We had a while with cold cathode fluorescent tubes as backlights, which had less flicker, but now with LED:s, it&#39;s back at 100% modulation, except in a few monitors which control the current instead. I don&#39;t know what technology these goggles use (LED backlit LCD, OLED, etc.), but it&#39;s pretty likely that they too flicker. 2024-09-30T21:32:16Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs9sq225lqsrdk08eamyl2v5lhj8zuvks0cmj4clh7wwe3aj56p4ngzyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5jlmkwhh In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsytt2xdkgysykz2a57zdt954s7v09zezamkrdqt9hd000egvcwyxcgppwql'>nevent1q…pwql</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Depends on if the picture is from a country where they drive on the left or right side. 2024-09-29T19:46:49Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs963hlha5n8v6wwmdyw004sgq483g5phjnf3g0qrucllwdsq5gg8gzyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5j8sv3hq In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0s7z5gcadc6lds99up8kgjr00tme9nycse8y3qqdv9e5ge7ynkxqugzl35'>nevent1q…zl35</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I have had this anger, not least regarding privacy, for at least 16 years (FRA law, Swedish surveillance law, in 2008 IIRC). It has largely turned into sadness and partially to self-criticism/wondering if I&#39;m the problem, since very few seem to be on my &#34;frequency&#34; in these thoughts. (Extremely few seem to think that the growing panopticon is as dangerous as I think it is, or attempt to do anything whatsoever to put brakes on the way things are going. Many, like what you&#39;re talking about, want it. &#34;against the gang violence&#34; etc.)<br/><br/>My childhood didn&#39;t help, as any anger on my part was never explored and usually discouraged to punished to varying degrees by my mother.

I don&#39;t know if I&#39;m missing some point, since everyone seems so convinced about these things, I hope you or someone else can clarify on the technical details:<br/><br/>1: ChatControl. This is on the table in the EU, may be approved in October if I understand it correctly, and means that either chat apps/services or operating systems, maybe both, are required to have client-side scanning. Will it be possible for a non-programmer to download software (OS) and use a web client/download a client (depending on circumstances and which of the technologies it&#39;s about), that&#39;s not compromised, and will it be possible to have a reasonable certainty that such is the case? Can&#39;t be sure unless you can check the code of course, but reasonably.<br/><br/>2: ISP:s. What prevents government from mandating ISP:s to block all encrypted traffic, unless it for example is going to whitelisted servers, or is signed by approved apps?<br/><br/>3: Extreme measures. Using a printing press was once punishable by death. Printing presses are physical objects without an online footprint, and this was in an era way before cameras and microphones existed, and today they are, obviously, legal. However, what prevents government from using a crisis and the media to condition people, and let ISP:s or other internet system actors, or intelligence agencies, look for traces of these tools being used, maybe even holding each subscriber accountable for what happens on their connection regardless who uses it, and put a few users of these technologies in prison for a long time, and use the mainstream media to make examples out of them?<br/><br/><br/><br/>Don&#39;t get me wrong: a world with these tools you mention is better than a world without them. What I wonder is whether it will be enough. If this battle is lost, these freedoms may very well be lost forever. Yet &#34;bitcoiners&#34; (TM) act like success is 100% certain. If I&#39;m not wrong on all these points and more, and I hope I am, that stance is either dishonest or uninformed, and I dislike people of the former, and want the latter to learn. After all, the same people say that &#34;bitcoin is truth&#34;. 2024-09-28T19:14:50Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqsw4m67ltyft3c9784wzyk0uyvlnydttkwsftny8k86xgwfnh2ralqzyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5jlxtafu In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdpshhcn2q74ze9xsd2hfu4qxrau0lju6kgttg5wtaljksn2gqlqqfpa6vh'>nevent1q…a6vh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The problem with this reasoning is that it only works in large numbers, particularly it doesn&#39;t work as long as the police, the tax agency workers, etc, aren&#39;t among those whose attention is lost.<br/><br/>A single person would end up with their fiat assets frozen/confiscated and/or in prison. 2024-09-28T18:25:49Z https://njump.cloud.vinney.xyz/nevent1qqs92xnhxps2esa3wc5wljjenwetke5k3vhq5f3j8k8wdse4svszf6qzyz32fpyecspyx23kk5uyzjph93j8e0tg6zlvaq9j6qg82mputhe5jg6r064 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0xfs3jvde83npjrqyucny38zsh3x0r65k0symf9ef8kv25x4wz6glextne'>nevent1q…xtne</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Has anyone done this yet?
