After well over 20y in tech, trying to figure what to do about the looming civilisation collapse. It was not supposed to happen in the lifetime of my generation. Yet, here we are, it seems. #brussels, about to move back to #newzealand

They keep doing studies on UBI and the answer keeps coming back, “It’s more than worth it.” Stunned by this outcome conservatives say, “that can’t be right. Let’s do another study.” Rinse and repeat.

Soft launching my Keybase on atproto alpha: @keytrace.dev

Basically the identity verification system from keybase/keyoxide but storing the identity claims on your registry and signing them based on keys in mine.

It is not focused on PGP, but on making it possible for social apps to handle identity

An excellent source of indepth news not being covered. I highly suggest following DreyDossier I subscribed on YT. Watch her video on Larry Ellison its way worse than him just buying up all sources where we get our news.

They are building a serious bunker at the Whitehouse. How do we slow this down? Lawsuits? Why don’t we see the plans for our house. The Whitehouse is the people’s house.

Wondering why Trump pardoned ex Honduran President Hernandez (jailed in the US in 2024 for 45 years for trafficking 400 TONS of cocaine)?

Here's your answer:

In March 2014, Reagan's former Pinochet liasion, Mark Klugmann, Peter Thiel & Austrian fascist Barbara Kolm were promoting this experiment👇

The Govt claims to be pro-market yet: $200m subsidy for oil exploration; Uncapped subsidies to decommission old oil fields; $1billion subsidy for LNG imports; Fonterra faces zero price for emissions under ETS. There is a pattern here. They are using the state to support and subsidise pollution.

NZ has so much hydropower already it would be straightforward to run the entire country on water, solar, windpower and EVs.

In 2023 a RW coalition govt came to power dominated by #AtlasNetwork trained David Seymour from the Atlas founded ACT party. Big gas getting this payoff for Atlas support.

This ‘explainer’ article fails to explain that the changes are being driven by an ideology that insists NZ Post runs like a profit-making business instead of a public service.

Yep, he got a flat response from
business they don’t like him but they’re team profit before people so wouldn’t call Luxon out in an election year but Rātana care about people & aren’t sycophants to profit or the Party so he’d likely have got home truths. His PR team found a way out of bad press.
