@romin the UK left the EU so it could do the same shit but faster, worse and with more spite :cirnolaughing:

@Mr_NutterButter My idea was basically a repository for free to use reference voices that can be use on voice cloning software. Though I didn't think about paying people for submitting their voice.

This is the view from my RV door. Devils Tower KOA is right at the base of Devils Tower.

a mandatory digital ID in the UK? No thanks. UK citizens haven’t voted for this, and there’s no mandate for it

Wide Awake Media:

"The European Union plans to roll out its CBDC—the digital euro—in October of this year, despite overwhelming opposition from the majority of EU citizens.

"It will be fully programmable. That means they can control what you spend your money on."

"For example, they could restrict you to buying only two clothing items per month, in the name of fighting climate change."

"Or they could require you to spend your savings before a certain date, otherwise your savings would vanish, just to stimulate the economy."

"At that point, we have no financial freedom left."" https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1817951601080406016

The most radical act in tech isn’t building something new. It’s keeping the old ideals alive: that users should control their tools, not the other way around.

You can still buy most things anonymously through a proxy service like the one on ThinkPenguin. You basically give them money and they will buy it on your behalf. Granted, it is ultimately a band-aid solution because these stores can (and probably will) black lists these services as customers, but it's something to look into while you still can.

@wowaname Fair enough. My science fantasy universe is all aliens so I need something that people can relate to.

At least they're being truthful about forcing digital IDs for everyone but the illegals. Then they'll just give illegals cash cards and housing for free without the restrictions of digital ID.

Now it looks like Drew is asking Omarchy to add a CoC and everyone is dunking on him as they should.

@waltercool @dcc @Bernard The Free State Project seems like the best attempt at creating a libertarian society right now, but I don't think any free stater has answered the question on what would they do if they do secede from the union, but the US government cuts them off of trade. Last time I checked, New Hampshire doesn't have oil reserves.
